Fire and smoke filled the Hangar shortly after the explosion. The airship that previously transported Durandal and her fellow comrades exploded due to the rockets hitting it. The explosion was strong enough to destroy the enemy Mechs and making their airship explode as well, destroying potential evidences.

"Is everyone okay?" Durandal asked and looked behind her. No one seemed to be injured, a relief for her.
"We're fine." Rita said and nodded.

Valkyries and Schicksal employees now came in to bring the fire under control and to get potential danger out of their way. Durandal and her Valkyries helped Otto out of the hangar.

"Amber. I want to speak with Captain Martha Von Radetz and her Co-Captain, as well as every leader of the branches in half an hour in the meeting room." Otto said after he catched his breath. Something was going on and it wasn't good.
"Durandal and Rita, stay on stanby." Otto said.
The duo nodded.
In everyone's mind, it was clear that this was an attack on Otto's life.

Martha was in her office on the Ajax, their ship. She wasn't too amused, the attack on Otto's life had not worked.

"The Mechs weren't supposed to land there at that time! Someone messed this up!" Someone wrote in their chat.
"We need to be carefull, if the airship hadn't been destroyed they might have known that this was us." Someone else texted.
"Our plan worked in the long run. Drawing attention so I can blame an enemy organization. While Otto belives someone from afar is attacking him, he won't notice it is us. So keep your cool and stick to the plan." Martha texted and layed her phone away.

It's been a few hours since Satomi called her, asking for the transport of a corpse. Martha felt no real emotions about what happened, it was part of the job.

Still, Satomi was griefing, Levi was checking on her every few hours.

Martha looked at the screen infront of her and saw that a new message appeared.

Message from HQ:
Captain Martha Von Radetz and Co-Captain Satomi Geto are ordered to attend an emergency meeting at 9:22 a.m today.

The message was simple yet clear. Otto was reacting to the explosion. It was barely nine a.m so Martha decited to check on Satomi. When Martha decited to take Satomi under her command, she wanted to have the potential hidden in the girls genes, a weapon for her plans she had a carefull and carring grip on.
She always takes care of her toys after all.

She carefully knocked at the door leading into Satomi's room. The door opened after a moment and Satomi stepped out.

She had already dressed up into her usual uniform, though her eyes were still red from crying.

"Hey, I already saw the message from HQ." Satomi simply said.

"How are you?" Martha asked. In times like this she gives her toys the attention they need.

"Not important but we need to talk." Satomi said and pulled Martha inside.
The younger woman closed the door.

"What is it?" Martha asked intrested in what the young woman could want.

"This Fox woman, she had a cybernetic prosthesis, more then one I think. I used my energy wave and threw her through a wall, then she just stood up and this fake skin or whatever that was peeled off and revealed a robot hand. She also said it was made out of the strongest metal."

"Well...cybernetic prothesis are available, why not ask a scientist about it. I have someone who could help, I'll call her after the meeting." Martha said to Satomi.

"Yeah. That would be quite nice." Said Satomi.

"I can definetly work with this. We'll just tell them the Serpent attacked Satomi and her family just prior and we get a perfect Monkey to take the blame." Martha had already planned out the whole thing in her head.
She was the Captain of an unit that took care of Schicksal inner securety after all.
