Asteroid Blues

At the dark corners of Harry's Bar. Cpt. Yamauchi drinking hard booze alone. headache comes, her crews got a unwelcome enemies. maybe intel was right, they defeated her Kagemusha's team badly with brutally slaughter.

when the flicking of old-red lightbulb, Yamauchi sense someone's presence. refraction of light looking like a man comes at front of her. an old friend come.

"So, Mr. Saito. you got a detail of desperation of my shadow."
"I am. Ms. Yamauchi." Saito Togan replied.

"Please tell me all you know."

"At the last time i was there, i had serious mistake. i was tried killing a doctor at the end."
"Rather than hide yourself."

"Correct."

"Situations are not bad at all. Daiyokai shoot down Sea Dog and erase their shadowshooter. and their jump infantry missed the spot."

"Shadowshooter. what happened to ours?"
"Got an HMG round at face. pay the price from too risky actions."

"Thank you, Mr. Saito." Yamauchi nod to him.
"Now I know our fallen troops bravery and honors. i never forget these men and women. and i never forget those enemies. Mr. Saito, like you said, we need more resources a bird to kill for. have any advice for us?"

Saito Togan came out from refracted space. his white mask stares to Cpt. Yamauchi.

"Ms. Yamauchi. i know some friends from deserts..."
