Honkai Star Rail: Interastral War Corporation

Chapter 1: Landing, and Soldier Problem

Couple of days after they got the letter, they were now being called again by Cat, and were now heading over there.

March: Finally! We can now go on the planet, I've been wanting to go there for a while!

- It's only been 2 days, March

> Yeah!

Himeko: Calm down, it should be fine, we're probably going there now

After we were here for a while, Himeko was able to get on the ship, and get a room at the ship, it was a pain.

Now, they're in Cat's office... and he's on the phone.

Catastrophe: Look, I will get people to it, it will get done, it's just going to be difficult to get to it!... *sigh* It'll get done, now bye.

March: What was that?

Cat: It was nothing, don't worry about it, now, sorry about that, I was able to get the IDs for you, and can now go to the planet.

He then shows you the IDs, handing them to all of you.

Cat: These should work, now, please, like we agreed, could you help us try and solve this problem we've been having?

Welt: Yes, we will, now is there anything else you need to tell us before we head to the planet?

Cat: Yes, I am coming with you, now if you'll-

Dan Heng: I'm sorry, but did you just say you're coming with us?

Cat: Yeah, of course, even if I'm a diplomat, I do have a military background, I'll be able to support you. I'm going to get ready now, we leave in 10 minutes, I'll be bringing you guys to the planet.

March: But we can go on our own-

Cat: If you guys land on your own, it'll be harder to track where you are for a rendezvous, so that's why I'm taking you.

After the 10 minutes were up, Catastrophe was ready, so punctual, he was wearing the same clothes as before but with some armor, a sword, and just stuff you would normally see with military personnel, but more advanced than most grunts, just basically a lot more gear, including... a map satchel and other cartographic items? Other than that, he has a backpack full of stuff.

Cat: Yall ready?

> Born ready

-| Of course

- Why wouldn't I be?

- (Silence)

Cat: Only one of yall answered, but I'll take that as a yes.

We got in the mini ship, and were heading to the planet before someone spoke, it was march.

March: Why is the solar system's name Martin?

Cat: I myself don't know, but it's been a fun speculation that it was named after one of the people overseeing the system at the time, because they were a secret genius at chess, and would only pretend to be bad at it, just a bit of fun.

Dan Heng: March, stop bothering him-

Cat: Calm down, it's fine, I quite like the laugh.

Y/N: (Bold)

Cat: We should be landing soon, once we're there, keep your guard up, as nowhere is safe, except for the main base of the IPC.

> Copy that, I guess

After a while of silence, we landed.

Cat opened the door to show a landscape filled with forests.

Cat: We should be outside the IPC base, watch out, as there is a decent amount of activity in this area, they like to use guerrilla tactics, so keep an eye out for anything.

March: Why do you keep on telling us that? We already know that, we aren't dumb.

Y/N: (Says you)

Cat: It would be better to be safe than sorry, right? I always do this, so you better get used to it.

Most of the treading was smooth sailing, but then they heard something odd, but before they could think of anything, two IPC soldier came out.

Soldier1: Oh! Hi there sir!

Soldier2: Yes! Hi!

Cat: Hello you two, could you please tell me why you're out here? This is a dangerous spot out here for just the two of you.

Soldier1: We're a part of the 107th recon team, sir!

Soldier2: We were ordered by officer Naemper to go into the forest to do recon, sir!

Cat: Why are you guys split up from your main team?

Soldier1: He said that we could carry out our orders anyway we can, and to just get the report out sir!

Soldier2: So we decided on splitting up being the best option to get it done quicker, sir!

Cat: Hmm, show me your orders please.

Soldier1 hands him a piece of paper, Cat looks at it and writes something on it, then hands it back to them.

Cat: Go back to your team and inform them that you guys are doing recon all together, as new orders from a superior.

Soldier1: But sir-

Cat: These orders are so that we don't lose any more men, do you hear me? I don't want people dying for nothing! This is an official order, I will handle the paperwork later, now do as I say, good day.

Soldiers: Yes sir!

They then left

Cat: Sorry about that, now let's continue.

March: I'm surprised they weren't sounding greedy and non-chalant.

Cat: Well here, you don't have the luxury to do that, with constant threat, and either way, some aren't like that, and also they look like they were rookies, I can't believe he would do something like this.

The walk to the place was smooth sailing, nothing had happened.

We then got to the checkpoint of the IPC base.

Guard: IDs please

We gave them our IDs and they confirmed for us to go in, once we got there, we went to an actual hotel at the base, even though it was expensive, and Cat went to his main office on the base.

Somewhere on the main base Catastrophe was met with someone.

???: Catastrophe.

Cat: Hmm? Oh hi.

???: Don't oh hi me, what you did earlier today was not something you needed to do.

Cat: What do you mean Naemper? It was completely justified, if I hadn't there could've been MIA soldiers, or worse.

Naemper: You still shouldn't have done that, this is how I train rookies, to learn danger, you need to be in it.

Cat: Yeah, but going this far, isn't something you should be doing, now if you had given them a path to go off of  it would've worked, but no path and too much autonomy isn't what you should be doing. You should ease them into it, not throw them into the wolves, not a gamble like that, one wrong move, and that potential MIA can swiftly change into a KIA, you know how these people do this!

Naemper: Fine! But this ain't over, we will have a more in depth talk eventually.
