Ruby Rose stood on the bridge of her cruiser gazing into the abyss that humans and Faunus knew as space. Lost in thought she did not realize that her first mate, Velvet 34, had stepped up to the raised pedestal. "Captain….. Captain." She said in a singsong voice "Hmm… Oh hey Velvet. Are we ready to depart?" Ruby asked. "Yes Captain all preparations were completed on schedule all we wait for now is Kingdom Tower's permission to depart." The clone replied as if reciting information that Ruby should have known. To be honest she was right, but Ruby had been getting more and more reminiscent of past times of late… 'So many lost… So many tears shed for friends… All for what?' Ruby made and affirming nod and returned her gaze to space.
As she did she saw the carrier of her dear friend and lover Weiss Schnee drift past the bow view port, not long after she saw the dreadnaught of her sister, Yang Xiao Long, as well as the ever present interceptor piloted by none other than Blake Belladonna. Together they made battlegroup RWBY. The last offensive battlegroup the Kingdoms Alliance had to offer. Ruby's thoughts turned dark as she thought of the other 72 battlegroups they had once had… Now all that remained of the mighty fleet was 4 ships…. Not including the defensive battlegroups. But those had to remain behind in order to preserve the last stronghold of the Kingdoms… Remnant.
"Kingdom Tower to Crescent Rose you have permission to depart. Have your team depart from Vector 63. Good Luck out there Battlegroup RWBY." "This is Crescent Rose we copy proceeding to exit vector." Crescent Rose like all ships of the Kingdoms Alliance was named after the weapon of her Captain. Battlegroup RWBY consisted of Crescent Rose, Myrtenaster, Gambol Shroud, and Ember Celica. Today they were headed on a raid in Sector 43 a minor munitions world that had been conquered by the Grim 5 years previously. Intel suggested that resistance would be minor… But intel was always wrong.
"Captain the Myrtenaster is hailing us on a private channel." The comms officer informed her. "Alright patch it through to my state room." Ruby replied. "Understood, Ma'am also if I am not overstepping my bounds I would suggest you get some rest. We won't arrive at the combat zone for another 4 hours." Ruby sighed but consented and headed to her state room.
Ruby sat at the comstation of her stateroom contemplating the conversation that would no doubt ensue when she accepted the call. Steeling herself she reached out and hit the answer button. "Hey Weiss." She said as soon as she saw her lovers face. "You look terrible Ruby. When did you last sleep?" Weiss asked a concerned look on her face. "That is exactly what a girl wants to hear from her lover when they talk to each other." Ruby said irately. "I'm sorry but you didn't answer my question; when did you last sleep?" Weiss replied. " I don't know maybe a week when did we last spend time together?" Ruby asked despondently. "R&R a week and a half ago. But we get a week of R&R after this mission." Weiss replied lightheartedly. Ruby's heart soared at the thought of spending more time with her lover. "Ruby…. Ruby hey look we are going to be arriving in about 3 and a half hours get some rest I'll call you when the battle is done." "Alright love you babe" Ruby replied, "Love you too get some rest"
Ruby cut the comm line and moved to her bed before dousing the light she set alarm to wake her in 3 hours. Then she doused the lights and thinking of times yet to come fell into a fitful sleep.
