<All units, the Eschatos assault force has entered our territorial waters heading 337. Landfall is predicted at the southeastern coast of Chiba prefecture between Katsuura and Kamogawa. ETA six minutes, thirty-eight seconds.>
<Hayabusa-1, this is Shikijo-72, move your unit east to Kazusaokitsu, fast!>
Hijū was already moving, the other five titans in her unit close behind her. <Damn it, nisa! That’s where we were! You told us to move to Ubara!>
<Move it, Hayabusa-1.> Suda Hikosa nitō rikusa snapped. Suda was the 29th Battalion’s operational commander, but he wasn’t a titan pilot—he had rose through the ranks in the armored cavalry divisions, mostly as a staff officer. <I don’t get to pick where the Eschatos land.>
<Well, don’t send us running all over the prefecture if you don’t know!> Hijū shot back.
