Welcome to Gaia! ::

this is the shipyard where perminant residents and crew will store ships and vehicles. All ships comming in or out that belong to a crew or a perminant resident to the sky fortress sagittarius will be recorded and noted here. The hanger will supple each ship and pilot with everything they will need for what ever they are doing.

Ring Ring Ring Ring. The phone was ringing from Kage's call.

''Well you certainly arrived quick, eager to start training aye?'' Junichiro quickly drank down the whole cup of coffee. ''Well, being in the hanger should give you a good idea what you will be starting you'r training with...vehicle combat. I know you applied for sword play, but on my ship things are not all about slice and dice.'' Junichiro got up from his chair and stretched out his arms letting out a sigh of reliefe. ''Well, I would like you to go right ahead and pik yourself a vehicle just for you, it will be a new partner for you to use as you please.''

Junichiro walked through the huge hanger passing all kinds of vehicles, types were basically air, land and water, but the shapes and sizes varied greatly...though in this hanger everything was quite basic in terms of how they were built. ''Please pick which ever vehicle you like, but be aware, you may only pick one.....you will get more possibly if you live long enough to get strong enough to earn the right to have multiple vehicles.'' Junichiro said with a smile and a oddly cheerful tone to his voice.

Junichiro then stopped as his cell phone began ringing in his jacket pocket the ring tone played was cruel angel thesis(piano solo version). ''A phone call? Well I will let you go ahead and look around for something you like, and make sure you feel some sort of connection, there is a right vehicle for everyone, making the wrong choice could get you killed...so do not rush your decision...now I need to take this a moment, I appologise for the interuption.'' Junichiro then took his cell phone from his pocket and looked to see who was calling, the number was not in his listing, this made him suspicious. Junichiro answered the cell phone and spoke with a cautious tone, ''Hello, who is this, how did you get this number and what do you want...?''

Junichiro sounded confused, ''A bar keep called the black night? Does not ring any bells, and neither does the name 'dagger', sorry to say.'' Junichiro spoke in a curiouse tone. ''I will need more information regarding the barkeep.....and also this malitia, I have no knowledge of it and as you know its leader, so I will need to have a meeting of some kind with this 'dagger' in person, he is welcome to visit the fortress...you got my number you must be able to find the sky fortress, its not exactly hard to miss.''

Junichiro made a light hearted joke to keep himself from sounding too agressive unintentionally as he did not want to give the wrong impression despite his cautiousness. ''If an alliance is made with a whole faction the fortress could lose alot of business, and without any kind of business comming here besides from the one alliance, well we would be in a bit of a bad situation, so unless he agree's to a meeting here on the sy fortress to negotiate a contract we can both agree to, I can't put the well fare of the sky fortress and its crew at risk. Now I have things to do, but please do not keep me waiting on this...alright?''

((KAGE!!! Did you just post a one liner...I know you did not just post a one liner...NO! Redo the post right now damnit mad and put some detail into who Izuru is and what the Desert militia stands for. Aren't you trying to post for EXP? fix it...NOW! And describe your character's emotions and his surroundings...))

''Someone from the black market? I guess its not impossible to happen. Well in any case you'r boss can come here when he is ready and discuss a contract, but we will not be waiting on him since other offers may turn up, now i am rather busy at the moment so I am affraid thats all for now.'' Junichiro then ended the call and placed his phone back inside his jacket pocket and turned to face the new crew member he had left to explore the hange. Seeing that he had appeared to have picked his vehicle Junichiro walked over in a strange sense of curiosity to the ship.

''Ah, an interesting choice, it is very well designed, though thats all its good for at the moment, to look at, but I am sure you can fix that in time.'' Junichiro said with a smile. ''Be aware, just because it looks good, does not mean it does not need work done. What you see is a design, how it runs will be quite different I assure you. In time Im sure you will be able to build this and many other vehicles into works of art...in looks and performance.'' Junichiro walked to a box near the ship and began typing down numbers on a control panel atop of the container.

Suddenly it sprung open revealing a key and several other guide books inside. ''Alright, here is your piloting identification key....its an easy storage key card, just register yourself onto it via this control panel, it is set to work accordingly with the ship and become somethssitant for managing it, all the instructions to piloting the ship is also found in the container.'' Junichiro stepped back from the panel to allow room for the boy to inspect the panel. ''This panel will also help with launching and landing when you take your ship out, it will be wired through a voiced interface within the ship, you can nasme both your ship and the control panels computer AI if you wish since you will have to work with it closely from now on....and one more thing the panel has access to a personaliised storage facility within the fortress, basically where you can keep spare parts or ammunition or what ever you want.''

Junichiro held a smile on his face as he kept speaking in a calm and friendly tone. ''Now, how about we go take that for a test flight, can start with basic flight training and maybe if you show potential quickly we can move on to a combat simulation, how does that sound?'' Junichiro said with a motivaional expression as though he were pushing the boy to show what he had and prove his worth, but not in a way to seem strict, simply to inspire the boy.

((I will make a thread descibing ship types soon and I will also make a thread for you to have a test flight in.))

''When do we begin? Right now naturally.'' Asura then shouted out in a somewhat enthusiastic manner, ''Sagittarius! This is captain Junichiro Watanabe! Your orders are to firstly open Hanger B blast doors! Then equip Kinrhyuu with training ammunition! Then allow for a short time for the designated pilot Kemono Sora to adjust to the ship designated Kinhiryuuto. Secondly prepare 10 test fighters and also equip them with training round, after completion of test fighter preperation await orders on when to launch them!'' For a moment the hanger was quiet before a loud and clear voice calmly spoke, and echoed through the hanger, ''Voice identification confirmed captain Junichiro Watanabe present, orders confirmed and commencing.''

The huge metal doors of the hanger then began to part to the sides revealing a glorious bright sunny day with a beautiful clear sky as a gentle warm breeze came into the hanger. Large metalic arms then descended from the ceiling of the hanger and began loading training ammunition into the basic machine guns of Kinhiryuu and equiping it with small training missles, the arms also made sure the fuel tanks were full. After a few minutes of loading the arms retracted and the area under the ship began to rotate making it face the hanger door. Junichiro spoke with a cheerful tone, ''Go right ahead, get in, you will need to use your key code to turn it on it will simply run through a voice identification each time you turn it onthe key code turns it on and the voice identification is to make sure nobody simply stole your code so it will happen every time it is activated.

Junichiro progressed to explain what was about to happen. ''Now this ship is built for speed as you can surely tell by its design, smaller ship boast great maneuverability and speed, but be careful not to be too trigger happy because small ships lack firepower and as such lack armour, those are the trade offs unfortunately, but with time you may make adjustments when you get the time money and parts to make them. Anyway, you'r ship is currently loaded with training equipment, the bullets are simply blunt force shock rounds that will not cause any significant damage and the same applies with the training fighters which are of the same class of ship as what you are currently using, though they fly differently and are obviously of different shape and such.

Junichiro grinned slightly as his tone got a little peculiar as it remained somewhat cheerful but had a odd hint of a sadistic tone behind it. ''However you will be facing my special AI training programme, these ships basically will adapt to your flying style and combat and defensive patterns, basically if you don't learn you will be overpowered, you have to learn to adapt in all kinds of situations, sure you can stick to your strong points but at the same time mix things up or one day your enemy will learn how you work and take advantage of it, this training AI is designed specifically to do just that if you are not careful.'' Junichiro then stretched his arms out and let out a sigh of satisfaction as he loosened his arms and spoke calmly. ''Now show me what you got, I expect a good show out there.'' Junichiro then held a warm friendly smile as he was displaying confidence in the new recruits abilities to perform up to an impressive standard.
