Communications are up and, while not at full capacity, are stable.

Multiple strike forces and efforts are still constantly being carried out against the enemies, hindering a fully successful assault.

chaos and Elena are out in Asher, whereas Sakura is being cared for Underground.

The Little Master hasn't reported in, but I have yet to lose contact with him.

And the Durandal has not been taken over. Beyond the tactical disadvantages it would present should something of that nature were to happen, neither I nor the Little Master will allow it. The Durandal will not fall into enemy hands.

They saved us. They saved my sister and they saved me.

They were kind to us and welcomed us.

And because... they are as much family to me as Mary is.

The recent talk of a virus in the water system is troubling... However, the Durandal is equipped with a water filtration system that is more than adequate for taking care of the needs of those on-board, so there is very little cause to worry about being subjected to it from an inside source.

Although, perhaps that assurance should be shared amongst others?

I do not have any skills to assist with the fires, nor do I know what assistance would be needed at this point, but I would like to do what I can in regards to the issue that the City is being presented with currently.



[ooc: This would be Shelley trying to be more social in the small ways that she can.]

Where am I? This isn't the... Where's Mary? I want to know where Mary is!

Did.. Did they take her away again?



[ooc: I couldn't find any pictures that looked right of a purpled haired girl with purple eyes, but Mary's eyes are blue so going with the possibility that Shelley's eyes could have very well been blue in the beginning when she was younger.]

I dislike this curse.

Although, the Little Master seems to be enjoying himself for the time being at least.

This is most... unsettling. The curses are over, and yet...

With Albedo's involvement, I can't help but worry.

If anyone receives any word from the Little Master or might have seen any signs of him, it would be greatly appreciated if I could be informed of such.

[ooc: So after this log, Jr. is MIA and Shelley is worried of course. And strikes are completely unhackable.]

To everyone involved in the rescue mission, I wish to extend both the Little Master's and my own gratitude, and to state that both Sakura and Elena are being taken care of and resting.

SHELLEY! GIVE ME BACK MY LAPTOP!

Although some are resting better than others.

I'm not an invalid! And I can type with one hand! You have no reason to-

If you do not stop resisting, I will be made to take more forceful measures in ensuring your rest.

I'VE BEEN RESTING! I'm so rested I'm going to die from being so rested and BORED! So just hand over the laptop alr... Shelley... What are you doing with that? I thought that...

Hey! No wait! There's no need to-!

[Sounds of a thump, like a body falling to the floor is heard, is heard. And then followed by silence till there's the sound of faint, but deep breathing]

You will rest as the Little Master has ordered. For you, resting doesn't mean to allow you to make plans and tire yourself out over the Network, while straining the use of your uninjured hand.



[ooc: Shelley basically made Elena go nighters since the girly was being uncooperative. You listen when Shelley says to do something. :P Bold and Italics are Elena's speaking, while normal is Shelley.]

Thank you for all your assistance thus far. We have gathered sufficient data and now know what it is that must be done. However, there is still one question of importance that must be asked before we can proceed.

Who amongst you do you regard as the strongest fighter?

The Little Master is needed elsewhere and cannot attend to the matter of Albedo. Thus, we need someone to detain him for as long as possible, who will also be able to stay alive doing so.

Since the point of this operation is to maintain a fairly low profile, while achieving the stated goals, to rescue Sakura and Elena, in the most effective manner possible, the Little Master thought that it would be best if certain roles were assigned and a base of operations established.

The Durandal is more than adequate for the task of a base, as it has been so in the past. It is strongly requested that all involved relocate to the ship. There is more than enough room and supplies for all to come on-board; and the shields will be lowered to allow everyone on.

While the Little Master shall be working on his own personal method in an effort to ascertain a path to their location, he will still be constant contact with the entire group. However, the majority of the communications will be handled by myself and Reeve, barring that Reeve does not mind staying and assisting me with such. The Durandal has more than enough means to ensure that no one is left in the dark.

As the only information we have currently is vague at best and not enough to form a better plan, our first priority is to obtain as much information as possible.

Riza and Sephiroth: Please talk to Cobray and attempt to find out as much useful information that he might have. It might be best if you two were to work together on this task.

Ranmaru: If you would talk to Kaere and find out what you can from her? She has expressed her desire to stay uninvolved because she lacks the capability to fight, but she was a roommate of Ingram's and might know something that can help.

Vash: Since you are probably the most suited for it, would you talk to Lyra and ask her for any additional information she might have in regards to Ingram. She has been of great assistance already, but there may still be something left to learn.

While information gathering is of high priority, that information will not be of any use if we cannot locate either Albedo or Ingram.

Vincent and Tifa are to be on a team in an effort to locate and track Albedo as best you are able to. And Tseng and Cloud will do the same, only with Ingram as their target. In both cases, the objective is strictly reconnaissances and it would be unwise for either group to engage the targets.

Until we have a better plan in mind that will ensure the safety and rescue of both Elena and Sakura, this is the best course of action for all those who have offered their help. I will continue to do my best with answering any questions and keeping track of all events that happen.


[ooc: And here be the basics of what Jesse and I have worked out for everyone to do so far based on the plot development and whatnot. WHEN DID IT GET SO MASSIVE?! And I'm sorry you have so many different jobs Shahni! ^^;; As of right now, the location of the girls is to be found, just hard to actually locate on a map. Think of it like you're standing on something, but you don't see what you're standing on.

I can't think of anything else to add, so just leave comments and have fun talking to Shelley~<3]

I wish to request some information from the residents of the City. That is if anyone has heard from either Sakura Mizrahi or Elena within the last few hours.

They did not return to the Durandal last night and perhaps, they might have detoured someplace to meet with a friend.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated before the Little Master finds out and starts fearing for the worst.



[ooc: Yay for character cheatings! :P Since this log is done with, Elena is now MIA but since there are still details being worked out, she is unable to do anything just yet. HOWEVER! Shelley has noticed and is asking around. Any comments Elena had made previously can be assumed that they were made really early in the day or well before the log started.]

To inform those who have seen the large red spaceship on the beach, it is occupied by more than the captain alone. My name is Shelley Godwin and I am the navigator and helmsman of the Durandal, the ship in question. The captain is the Little Master, or also known as Gaignun Kukai Jr. Most, not under employment to the Kukai Foundation, address Little Master as Jr.

The Durandal was owned by the Kukai Foundation, which in turn was run by Gaignun Kukai, or Master Gaignun. However... After certain events transpired, ownership has now fallen to Master Gaignun's heir, the Little Master.

The Kukai Foundation is a special organization established after the end of the Miltian Conflict, with the sole purpose of subjugating the remains of the U-TIC organization. Since then, most of its military forces have been decommissioned, and the other divisions branched off into sprawling, independent civilian corporations, thus forming the basis of the foundation's present structure.

The Foundation is also the name of the mobile base of operations, which has increased in size to become equal to that of a small population. The Kukai Foundation can move throughout space due to its ability to link with the space ship Durandal.

The Durandal is extremely advanced in both warfare and comfort/recreation. Its primary weapons consist of over a thousand photon torpedo tubes, a main frontal laser cannon, and several hundred railgun batteries. With all other combat ships it has a force-shielding system. Locations within the Durandal include the park (complete with a viewport that takes up almost the entire far side of the room), the residential area, and the main bridge.

At over 4000 meters long, the Durandal's appearance is that of a red sword in space with two orbiters, that resemble wings, circling around it. When docked with the Kukai Foundation, these wings rotate at the structure's bottom, adding to the elaborate design of the combined objects. Moreover, the Durandal's sheer size allows it to carry a wide array of anti-Gnosis laser weapons. However, both the Dämmerung and Abel's Ark have a much greater size and capacity than the Durandal.

I trust this is sufficient to information on the subject, should there be any questions.


[ooc: The most you'll EVER hear Shelley talk. EVER.]

I have temporary taken command of the Durandal for the duration of the time that Little Master has taken it upon himself to accept my suggestion to seek out a resolution in regards to matters concerning Elena and Tseng. Particularly with Elena.

Please do not worry Sakura. Should the time be longer than expected, the celebration will still take place as planned. The Little Master will simply not be allowed on-board.

I have been browsing through the available Network located in the vicinity and have run across an image to make a inquiry about.



Does anyone know who this individual might be?


[ooc: Cursed and curious as to who she's crushing on.]

Little Master.

How long do you plan on staring at that picture? The quality is not of a standard befitting such interest. You would have been better off asking for the subject to pose in terms of quality and cost for a single image.

Little Master? Mary?

If this is a game, I'm not finding it amusing at all.
