Who: Everyone
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Lato'li's orbit and also planetside.
When: Forward dated to 11/15.
[The Interceptor Fleet moves into position, waiting for the last few shield generators to fall. And in the early hours of the 15th, they do. The shield dissolves with a blip as if it was never there, leaving the man-eaters as prone as their prey. The Interceptors send out a transmission-- an unholy mix of Cockney and Australian that graces every available communicator-- if they answer it.]
We’re firin’! Do yer worst, Vieziri! We’re gonna kick yer sorry arses so hard you’ll kiss the moons!
[Five Interceptor ships swoop out of the dark and unload their various weaponry onto the Vieziri warships. At the same time, people stranded on the planet below ready the anti-aircraft guns onto their makers. And of course there is the Fleet itself, battered and yet beautiful across the velvet sky, as they fire everything they have.
Now the Vieziri start moving. Though the big red ship can’t do much maneuvering, the rest of the Vieziri warships certainly can. They fire back at the Interceptors and whoever else fires at them, willing to defend their leader and lose their lives in the process.
Luckily, the Interceptors have their own daring ships, which may look familiar to those who were here for the raider attack. One is emblazoned with racing stripes and flames all along the hull, and it moves so fast it nearly enters hyperspace. It’s there and gone in a flash, weaving past the enemy in crazy thrillseeking loops. Still another Interceptor ship is painted red and orange with a gold plate near the front, which reads BAMF with no explanation. This one has guns aplenty and easily weathers any duel it gets into. The third Interceptor ship is beautiful gold and black, sleek as hell and engineered with sense; this one packs the most gadgets and formidable guns of all calibers, and appears to do the most damage. Trailing behind is a much smaller ship, so nondescript it almost doesn’t stand out at all-- that is, until it forms a barrier to absorb some oncoming fire and reflect it back at the Vieziri.
There’s one ship that’s missing, though-- the one that was blown up several months ago after the heist. In its place is a small black ship that runs invisible to radar, sweeping past with silent speed as it lets loose a barrage of photon missiles onto the Vieziri flagship.
Down below, the Vieziri come out in full force-- one last stand before the warlord falls, trying to finish their fell rituals. Some of them rush the encampments, some go for the cities. Near the restored comms tower, a cloaked figure with a plain white mask fights their way through the onslaught using a plasma blade and a laser rifle.
After an hours-long siege, the big warship finally takes too much fire and breaks apart, lighting up the sky with falling shards like stars. The biggest debris burns up in orbit, but little pieces still rain down. It signals the end as the Vieziri begin to retreat both on ground and in the air. The loss of their leadership leaves them scattered and panicked.
The Fleet has won the day, but as the sun rises again over the wreckage, there is still plenty of work to be done.]
[ooc: Feel free to assume the Interceptors are helping your ships! The gold and black ship can be hailed and will give responses, as she’s been the main point of contact during this plot. You can also run into Zhade, though tags will be slow for both accounting for RL things. Please mark Zhade or Interceptors in the header of your toplevel if you’d like NPC interaction.
Any questions should be asked on the plot post for phase two.]

Kaname Buccaneer | Space!
[Once plans are in place, and after Kaname contacts Luna, she and Freyja find themselves on the First Breath where they work on what they're able to do with their singing. Specifically, the idea is to hijack the broadcast system on the enemy flagship and use their songs to disable the Vieziri for a time to allow the Interceptors to get in some key shots with a lessened risk of return fire.
The best place for them to work is the cargo bay. It's away from the bridge, but it still has enough room for them to be comfortable and not overly cramped. There's a little time before things get underway, so Kaname figures a little conversation might keep them somewhat at ease until then.]
Thank you again for agreeing to assist us with this. I really appreciate it.
[Her words are for Luna, of course, as is her grateful smile.] We wouldn't be much use otherwise.
[After Battle, Iskaulit / OTA]
[Once the dust (mostly) settles and people are recovering and picking up the pieces, she can be found on the larger ship at all different places, making sure things are in order, cleaning up some potential messes, or just taking a little time to catch her breath. Any conversations would be a welcome diversion.]
heyyyy kaname-san
Kaname-san, are you ready?
no subject
[And the unspoken answer is of course she's ready.]
no subject
[Because she might as well be the energizer bunny, okay.]
no subject
Chuckling, she nods.] If you say so. It's just singing, anyway. There's no need to put on an actual show this time.

Yo.
He stops, however, at the voice. And quickly attempts to put the name to it.]
Kaname, what brings you to the First Breath?
Yeee
[Kaname stands up to walk a little closer so he can hear her easier.] Freyja, my friend from home, and I are planning to stun the Vieziri on the flagship, but we needed help to get control over their broadcast system. Your communications officer, Lunafreya, was gracious enough to assist us.
I am the latest and I throw myself at your mercy
I've made an impression, so it would seem.
[Of course, there aren't many blind men on the Fleet.]
That seems entirely like something that Lady Lunafreya would do. Do you need any assistance while you're here?
for shame etc etc
I'm not sure, what would you suggest?
bribes with tags?
deal

You must be Kaname's friend Freyja. [He holds out his hand in her general direction to take in a handshake if she wants.] I am Ignis Scientia, The First Breath's cook.

Really!? That's so cool! What's your favorite thing to cook?

henlo
As her fingers type away at the keyboard in front of her, she smiles in return to Kaname, nodding her head. ]
It is not a problem, I am glad to be of some use. [ It feels good to be able to help... well, in ways that don't involve her thrusting a trident through the enemy. The Oracle was born to heal, not to kill, after all. ] Just give me a few more minutes... I'm almost there...
to you as well!
It's all right. We're fine in terms of time, don't worry about that. [... and now a leaf is removed. Good lord, woman.] And I know what you mean about being useful.
no subject
But that's something to ponder later. Right now, she's focused solely on one thing: making sure that these girls get to do what they need to do. ]
They've got a complicated coding... but I believe I am nearly through their mainframe. [ Not that she'd particularly know about that... considering her upbringing, but this lovely chip in her head helps her enough. ] It helps no one to merely sit around, and yet I have noticed that some people do not seem as bothered about that. To each their own, I suppose--
[ The screen in front of her flashes red a few times, before suddenly it's a vivid green. ] --I've got it, we're in!
no subject
They might have their reasons. It's hard to say with certainty why, especially in this scenario.
[And, oh look, there's the sign. A grin spreads across her face as she turns back to her partner in crime.] Get ready, Freyja.
[She places a hand on Luna's shoulder with a squeeze of gratitude.] Keep us in there, and we'll let you know when to turn on their broadcast system.
(no subject)
(no subject)
no subject
You can do it! Eheh, we wouldn't be able to do it without you at all.
CRIES I THOUGHT I REPLIED TO THIS I'M SORRY
She smiles at the other girl, bowing her head slightly at the encouragement. ]
You are far, far too kind. You two are smart, I am certain you'd have figured something out, but I am more than happy to assist in any way that I can.
IT'S OKAY IT HAPPENS SOMETIMES
!!
Hey! Everything okay? You know this is the First Breath, right?
no subject
Prompto? I didn't know you were on this ship as well. [But Kaname nods.]
Yes, we're all right, just getting ready to retaliate in our own way with Lunafreya's assistance.
[Can he see the confidence in her smile? Because it's totally there right now.]
no subject
He looks around, a little confused.] Yeah? How's that?
no subject
[Kaname nods in affirmation.] Yeah, we are. I mentioned before I'm a singer, right?
[Follow her as she walks to the other side of the cargo bay.] Our voices have certain effects on things back home, and here we found out they serve as a sort of stun against the Vieziri. We're having Lunafreya take over the sound system of the enemy flagship so we can broadcast our voices through the entire ship. It should cause a sizable delay in their reaction time in terms of firing on us or the Interceptors.
[She leans against a wall, looking across the area.] It's different from what we're used to here, it's more shielded and less of a stage. Sort of funny how things work between worlds.
