PROLOUGE

The Sky Force Far East Base was not overpopulated at this time. Only a few employee cars sat in the wide, parking lot. Inside one room filled with computers were only two men. One was a tall, white-coated scientist with bright, laughing eyes that sparkled as he worked. The other was a bit younger and wore glasses. He read the printouts with a satisfied smile and called to the other man over his shoulder, "Chief Tendo, we're finished totaling."
The taller man glanced up from his clipboard. "Good. Let's try to run through them right away."
"Yessir." As his superior handed him the clipboard, he couldn't help but remark on the light expression on his face. "Chief, you look very happy today."
An immediate chuckle and a rather silly smile crossed Chief Tendo's face. Blushing and rubbing the back of his head sheepishly, he explained, "Oh, yeah, well the truth is today is my daughter Aya's birthday!" The man was practically bursting with pride.
"Oh," the younger man said aloud. But inside he was chagrined. His boss' daughter's birthday and he had done nothing, not sent a card or anything. Shoot, I didn't hear that, he thought.
But now his chief was holding out a wallet, grinning in silly ecstasy. "Look at the picture of my lovely daughter, she's one years old!"
"Um, er, she's cute, sir." He back-pedaled from the wallet, holding the clipboard up in defense. Save us from proud fathers everywhere, he'll have me looking at pictures for hours. Hopefully he could put this off for another time by reminding Chief Tendo there was work to do right now.
But Ryu Tendo never really noticed. He was content to look at the picture he had, for there was only one and he often stared at it and marveled at how lucky he was. Here was his team-mate, partner, wife, lover. Kaori cuddled their fluffy haired little girl, Aya, who was sucking on her fingers and eyeing the camera dubiously. Deep in thoughts he left the Skybase to return home. Outside he stopped, to stare up at the brilliant late afternoon sky strewn with vaporous clouds. His heart held a pain and joy that was as much a part of his existence as his family. And it was only five years ago we saved the peace of Earth from the Vyram. With our own hands we won back peace. Five of them, in their Jetman armor. Himself, Kaori, Ako, Lyta... and Gai.
