It was not long after Erich had taunted Ryu that the ship came out of quantum, where it found itself placed within the center of the 13th Fleet's formation, surrounded by all the other vessels which were designed to protect it.
Naturally, since they had come out of quantum, the alarms were ringing across the ship, along with an automated message which told the crew to enter their battle stations. As a result, Erich placed his helmet over his head, and sealed it against his flight suit's collar, before rushing towards the flight deck, where he saw that his air group was already launching their fighters and bombers into space.
By now Erich was well experienced with the procedure of taking off from the carrier, and thus he jumped into his cockpit, and sealed the hatch behind him, before powering on the vehicle, and igniting the engines.
There will only be one chapter today. I got perhaps four or five hours of sleep last night, and am completely and utterly exhausted. Thank you all for your continued support, and I will get back to writing two chapters tomorrow after I take the evening off to get some proper rest.
