This is one of the projects we're working on before we lift the freeze on moving Fenspace's "now". Anyone who wants access to the Google Document, please ask for it here. (Anyone with access to the Google Documents for The South Is Rising, Somebody Get a Hammer or The Fall of Crystal Osaka already has access to BoskonePrime.doc)
So far, all we've got is a short prologue to set the scene:
[size=larger]Prologue: Girls' Night Out[/size]
28 December 2013
Meetpoint, Earth-Luna L5
"Yes, our employers can't work with each other. But that's not even a good excuse to throw away victory in the Boskone War, let alone a good reason."
"Um... Technically, Haruhi isn't my boss."
"You know what Yayoi means, Mikuru." Catty sighed. "The important part is that we're letting petty rivalries stand in the way of our objective."
Shuko nodded. "We've lost too many people already. Marcel, Ms. Nikaido, all those innocent people on Crystal Osaka... It has to end."
"Which is why we called everybody together in the first place," Nezumi added. "We can't let the current situation go on any longer."
"Unfortunately, there isn't anything I can do to help you here. The Transrationality Science Assessment Bureau has orders from the Department of Defense to remain neutral in this whole affair. The Pentagon's getting enough flack from Washington because the Navy's involved in this."
Emily glared at Amy. "They attacked us first!"
Nezumi put a hand on each uniformed woman's shoulder. "Ladies, we're here to try to stop the bickering, not get lessons from the experts on how to continue it."
Emily backed down. Amy glared at Nezumi. "Time for me to leave. I can't contribute anything to this, and I'm just causing friction here." Nezumi let her go.
Gina broke the silence. "Now that that little bit of drama is finished, what are we going to do about this?"
"Pool our resources, coordinate our actions, and take the battle to the enemy, of course," answered "Doc" Raven.
"Here's the first resource," volunteered Winry. "Task Force Tango Shoes raided an enemy base code-named 'Jusenkyou' three weeks ago. The data sifters back at Great Justice discovered references to a location code-named 'Black Tower' in the data we liberated - it appears to be the Boskonians' overall command and control point. We don't have coordinates for it, though."
"That matches the intel we got from that hell-hole in space that FESWAT cleaned out the day before yesterday," added Nanoha.
"The Sammies took a Boskonian troop carrier yesterday," interrupted Utena. "Its navigational computers held the location of an asteroid called 'Black Tower', but didn't indicate it was of any importance."
The Jess in attendance nodded slowly. "Even if that's disinformation, it's worth a look..."
