The morning was calm and tranquil; nothing had happened.
But this lasted only until breakfast time.
Because the officers' dining room of the "Wasp" was located inside the hull, the only high-class officers' dining room was between the hangar deck near the island and the flight deck, in an interlayer. Mostly because the island itself was too small to accommodate a dining room, so breakfast was usually delivered by staff officers.
It wasn't long after the breakfast had been brought over that a communications officer delivered a newly received telegram.
But this time, the communications officer did not hand the message to Tanimoto but delivered it directly to Spur.
After noticing the change in Spur's expression, Tanimoto's heart began to pound, and he immediately realized that it was definitely not good news!
At the first glimpse of the telegram, Spur became stunned, not even realizing that his fork had slipped from his hand.
