Kathleen Reynolds and her Spittin’ Kittens were resting and relaxing at the beach when the Shang attacked us. They had to weather the fall of Yosemite Station like everybody else in America, though less debris hit their spacebase than western spacebases. The local automated defenses were able to burn most of the debris up before landfall, reducing property damage to a minimum, and Katy and her people got to their fighters and launched with only minor difficulties. They actually beat some of the ready fighter squadrons into the air, though they were not exactly in their regulation uniforms at the time. A local news crew recorded their scramble from the beach to the fighters, though the segment that made air required some strategic placement of black bars. It was one of many videos later spliced together by the military showing our brave men and women going to war. They called it a moral boosting video. They were not wrong.
