<< "Joint Operations" | May 20th, 7:22 A.M. | FNS Taihō | South of Vysarian Waters >>

Over the blue horizon, figures of many appears, the sign of hope to those survived, or to those who live long enough to see how they perceived rescue, as over those horizon, rises the dragon of the west and the first responder to their cry, the Shiraishōwan 1st and 2nd fleet together with several warships from the British Kingdoms.

"Zuihō to Taihō, Air Operations are now suspended, we are minimizing the spread of nuclear fallout, proceed to land a minimum amount of forces on designated LZ, over." A radio calls out to the bridge of the aircraft carrier Taihō, who is the flagship of this operation and headed by Admiral Suzuku Katori, who filled in the role of overall Shiraishōwan fleet command after Grand Admiral Kagawa Satoshi sudden hospitalization, he is a little skeptic of his duty as a fleet commander, but his experience of commanding the helicopter carrier Setsuna during the Osakan Civil War are enough to get him into this role.

"Taihō to Ground Team Alpha until Ground Team Echo, you're permitted to begin landing operations on the designated landing zone and continue your mission as usual." Suzuku commands into the radio, looking at the nearby helicopter carriers who then opens it's aft doors to release several landing boats into the sea, like ants from the bridge of the carrier, the landing crafts makes their way toward the Vysarian coasts, his eyes then looks toward the yellowed horizon, a stark contrast to the blue skies behind them, it's truly unbelievable what had happened to Vysaria that led to the nuking but the actions made by the 12th Destroyer Flotilla had minimized the radiation area on the western side of the nation.

<< "Premonitions" | May 20th, 8:01 A.M. | Landing Craft 302 , Ground Team Delta | [FORMER] Vysarian Commercial Port >>

"Troops! Wear your CBRN gears!" One of the landing craft operator shouts as he gives his control over to the co-pilot and wear the gears himself, the soldiers who had worn their outfit just needed to check their oxygen tanks, filtration masks and seal their face tight from any foreign contaminated air, there are some grunts and sighs by them which clearly shows that several of the troops are recruits, but there are some veterans of the Osakan War, one that had seen the horrors radiation did to their comrades.

"Hey, are those Brits really following us to secure the port? I really don't know if they'll understand our plan of operations" one of the soldiers remarks as he checks his weapons, the soldier in front of him replies "Let alone us of the Easy Company have to work with them, I'm sure this'll bound for some mishaps" to which both soldiers slightly chuckles, then a sergeant shuts them up, saying "Don't you know? Rumours said that the Tokubetsu Keikai Sentai is here way before us, hell, there might be members of the 343rd here too."

That single phrase, 343rd, put the soldiers into a collection of unbelievable gasps and questions. As to why they did so? It's because of the previous conflict Shiraishōwa was in, where a group of talented soldiers are put together to bring the war to its knees, the 'Special Operations and Foreign Intelligence Squad', better known as the 343rd Task Force or Glowing Crows, were deployed just mere days after the nuking of Vysaria and not many knew of what their mission were except the members themselves and the Emperor.

"So you're saying the Blazing Trooper's there? Captain Kaguya?" A recruits asks in admiration, mentioning the captain of the team and the original member of the 343rd, to which the sergeant could only shrugs with a smile, just as the group could continue their talk, the landing craft operator notifies that they will reach the dock in 1 minutes, the soldiers load their guns with sounds of clicks and clips, final checking their equipment and gripping their guns, their eyes locked onto the landing door.

The craft hits the dock firmly and the operator flips several switch before the door finally comes down, slamming onto the concrete platform and out comes the soldiers, they create a pillar formation and secure their surrounding, nearby for about several meters, other landing crafts did lock onto the port and releases their soldiers, one of the bigger crafts unload an IFV to complement the infantries. After their successful landing, the soldiers are ordered to move into the deeper part of the port, each company has their own mission, some were to secure the perimeter, some were to find the central port command, some were to find any survivors, this mission continues until a few hours later.

"Ground Team Charlie to Ground Team Delta, we've covered the main gate entrance to the port, how's the port controls from there? Over."

"Affirmative, the controls are busted with something cutting the wires, there's probably some refugees in here, all ground team be aware of your surrounding, disarm any armed civilians and bring them to the Tarawa for decontamination"

"This is Ground Team Echo, be notified, the British are moving via mobiles to the next port due east, they're going to search for their stranded cargo ships and requested one of our company to support them over."

<< "Handover" | May 20th, 11:28 A.M. | FNS Zuihō | [FORMER] Vysarian Military Naval Base >>

On the other side of the landing operations, the 1st Fleet under Zuihō proceed toward a possibly abandoned Vysarian Naval Base to acquire Vysarian battleships that are under heavy retrofit before the nuclear detonation, they were originally meant to be sold for the nation of Flandonip, but the progress over the retrofit are halted after the situation in the country escalated, and then would be outright abandoned, surprisingly enough, the Shiraishōwan fleet met several Vysarian warships that are aimlessly sailing around their waters, they then begin helping the stranded sailors with medical support and repairing their warships, after telling them that the Shiraishōwan mission are to take command of their warships and try to see if it's salvageable, the Vysarian jumped at the opportunity to take back what is formerly theirs. Days later, the Vysarian remnant fleet totaled at about 6 cruisers, 22 destroyers and one submarine, however many of them said that there are probably more survivors on the eastern part of the country, where there are probably a carrier fleet set sail right before the detonations, nonetheless, they continue on.

The Shiraishōwans arrive on the first naval base in their list, only to find it being completely abandoned and probably looted, there is no sign of their carriers in the base which is a main target for them, however, they did find the Flandonipsian battleships being docked in and around the base, 2 were anchored off the shore, 3 are moored near the docks and other 2 are put in drydock, the fleet then send out their ground team followed by several Vysarian sailors to do a quick repair on the battleship's engines managed to power up only 6 of them, but one battleship suffer extensive exterior damage from the fallout and are abandoned, resulting in only 5 being able to move under their own power. As they left the naval base, the battleships joined the fleet for a travel straight for Shiraishōwa for decontamination and repair.

Not finishing their original mission, which is to command some of the docked Vysarian naval vessel, the ground crew continue to look for possible ships to take care of, they found 1 dreadnought, 10 cruisers and 22 destroyers abandoned and in disrepair, with the amount of repair team they have right now, the Joint Shiraishōwan-Vysarian fleet could only salvage the dreadnought, 3 cruisers and 6 destroyers, however they promised to return back here to repair their warships soon.

Day 1 of Vysarian Decontamination Process begins…
