text; @Goldilocks, after April fight

[likemybooks]

[Everyone has to know. Some saw what happens to Ereshkigal during the fight, some only know that she disappeared. As the one responsible, Taryon feels he's deserved the position on breaking the bad news to ll Outsiders.]

It is with a heavy heart that I must relay to you all that our friend Ereshkigal is not with us any longer.

She was thrown into a Rift by the kaiju and vanished.

She fought valiantly and tried to protect me even in her last moments.

I'm sorry. I wish we didn't suffer such a heavy loss in this fight.

- Taryon Darrington

You have access to aircraft? What kind? Is it the sort we can pilot?

[Wow, this person sounds really prepared for everything!]

Please, let me know what I can do to help. I may not be familiar with modern vehicles, but I can learn.

[harboredfeelings]

Air superiority fighters, multi-role helicopters, and my old dive bombers. They don't require pilots, I control them myself.

[ She'll explain the whole KAN-SEN thing later. More important things to worry about than explaining what she is. ]

I'll leave figuring out how to reinforce them to you then. I can change their size, so we can keep them small for the time being to use less resources. Once we get to a point where we're not losing craft we can outfit a full sized one for a rescue operation.

I'll do what I can! If it's metal, I can enchant them more easily. We can cover more ground with your work and my assistance!

[He doesn't understand how this works, but this is a way to be helpful! He's going to be helpful!]

I'm sorry for being a pessimist earlier, Gisei. You have a good head on your shoulders.

[harboredfeelings]

Apologize with effort, Darrington-san, not words.

And it's Kaga, second flagship of Sakura Empire's First Carrier Division. Just Kaga is fine.

[likemybooks]

Kaga. It's an honor to speak with you.

[Damn straight he's going to put some effort over the next several weeks until he gets rift-sick multiple times.]
