Chapter Nine: Launch Day

Two days had passed since the meeting.

Jackie and Dekota walked along the dock of the massive port. Before them sat behemoths of steel. A carrier, two battleships, and what looked like a cruiser.

All four were docked, awaiting their time.

Katherine walked up to the two.

"Jackie." She said, "Came to stare down your latest toys?"

"Seeing as how you named one after me? Yeah."

"Yeah yeah. Come on. Let's get you on board."

Katherine lead the pair the pier and up the ramp onto the carrier as men and women dressed in different colours were seen running around deck preparing and checking everything for launch.

The trio walked to the front and near the edge of the deck over looking the water below.

A siren sounded on the deck as Katherine pulled the two from the edge some.

The ship blew a it's roaring horn followed by the three other ships in response.

The ships lurched forward as they started onwards.

"Could have given me a warning." Jackie complained

"The siren was your warning." Katherine joked, "Now come on. Don't need you getting run over by planes. Oh, wear these."

She gave them a pair of headsets and towed the two off to stand Infront of the tower as a rumble was heard.

Suddenly the ship started going up, it slowly lifted itself out of the water. The other three followed along with as they started to come to it's side.

Behind a plane started to line up towards the deck, it's wheels slammed onto the deck and it's hook caught a line forcing it to a stop.

It turned and headed for a elevator as the line pulled itself back ready for the next one as it also lined up.

"How many are you planning on storing?" Jackie asked.

"Uhh." Katherine thought, "I think 140 if we pack her full. For this we're just doing 50." 

"Fair."

The three watched as one after another the planes hooked and were taken below deck. Soon a much larger plane started to line-up. It looked like a twin engine plane with "a spinning UFO attached to it." as described before in a Lastation paper.

The massive plane landed and hooked as well before pulling to the front and parking. The disc above it stopping as it powered off.

The ships kept slowly soaring through the sky above the port headed towards the city.

The sight of the massive ships slowly floating through the sky was at first terrifying. However the white star painted under their hulls gave the comfort of the fact they were friendly giant flying warships.

However across the border the goddess could see them and she was not as happy. That infamous scowl of hers just grew as she watched on.

The ships floated over the city before turning back and landing back at the port. A huge success.

"What'd you think cat?" Katherine Asked

"Don't think it'll ever get old standing on a ship flying through the fly." Jackie responded happily.

"How about you dead face?" Katherine said looking at Dekota.

"Windy." She replied

Katherine was blank faced.

"Expected from her to be honest." Jackie chuckled

"How do you deal with her for extended time?"

"She's got a nice ass."

"What the?"

Jackie cracked up at her comment.

"Nah. I'm kidding. She's mostly silent so she doesn't get in the way."

"Don't make those kind of jokes Jackie. You'll get Weiss wired."

"She gets wired seeing a woman."

"Hah."

"Alright, get these fully stocked and ready. I'm gonna go see what our neighbor thinks."

"Got it. Be good."

The cat left with Dekota.



[An hour later]

Jackie walked into her office and noticed a paper with a clipped on picture on her desk.

She scanned through it as she sat in her chair and examined the photo.

"Report on conflict near Slums.

At 2350 flight squadron 12 "Red Darts" during a night flight training session reported a "Pinkish crystal dome topped with a crystal flower" forming above the Lastation Slums. After approval flight squadron 12 redirected their flight path and investigated. 

Four people were pictured using the Delta-F Targeting Pod, one of which was identified immediately as Akari Satsuki, or 016, and deemed the origin of the dome. Two others were later identified as Colonel Roy Mustang and Alex Mustang, Akari's son and caretaker of 038. 

The fourth was unable to be identified before he was incinerated by Alex Mustang. 

Akari has taken Alex into the State Hospital where he has been admitted.

Akari specifically requested for Head Medic Marie Weiss to take care of him and has been approved.

File for Future.

- Kamno Intelligence Agency"

"Seems your papers are on my desk Dekota."

"I see."

Jackie handed it to her and she looked through it.

"Hey, did our embassy get the news?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Good. Hopefully all of this will be enough to make the Goddess rethink her idea."

"Hopefully."
