Chapter 3: Memories
Admiral Yang lay back in his favorite reclining chair. It had been a tiring and confusing day, and Yang needed time both to relax and to think through the recent happenings. As he questioned himself on how the GTVA could have done such a thing, he remembered back to the time of the NTD and the Second Shivan Invasion. He had been part of a group of fighters in charge of destroying Bousch's flagship, with the Admiral himself on board. He remembered Bousch's words just before jumping out of the system, and he had said that they should doubt the GTVA's authority. He had been really angry that Command had sent them to the wrong coordinates, and had said the following, after HQ had said he was out of line: "I'm out of line? We're risking our lives out here..."
The Aquarius was risking their lives too, and a GTVA conspiracy cut theirs short, thought Yang, this can't be right. This isn't the leadership I knew as a pilot, or as a Commodore. Maybe Bousch was right, maybe he wasn't. I just want to get to the bottom of this mystery to find out what's going on.
Yang went into a restless sleep, and dreamed about his pilot days, when he was flying and didn't know of the corruption of the system that ruled him. He was helping test weapons for the GTVA, and scouts had been sent out to draw Shivan fighters in for the weapons to be tested on. While using special missiles to "TAG" the Shivan fighters to be targeted by GTVA turrets, a mysterious thing occurred. His wing had been damaged, and they were against a large force of fighters, when a scout that had been lost in the last mission appeared. He had said something about a Shivan warship, then when the ship went down GTVA classified the mission. It had been a mysterious occurrence, and maybe it had some sort of connection of the day's happenings...
