Tamiyo Hironaka is a Kyushu-born pilot, previously employed with the Kusari State Police. Her mix of lax policing, constantly changing moods, naivety, and attempts at seducing other officers made her a quick fail out of the Keisatsu. Now roaming throughout house space, trying to figure out how to live on her own, Tami is ready for adventure and fun, even if she gets into trouble along the way.
The "Graceful Butterfly", the freighter that Tami operates, is an old Drone freighter equipped with Sunfrenzy turrets, additional armor plating, and a naive, crazy, beautiful girl at the helm. Currently roaming around different systems throughout House Space, the Butterfly is Tami's home for the next while. Tons of cargo will pass in and out of the cargo bay of this small but capable vessel, and many stories, experiences, friends, and enemies will be found while this vessel roams.

Well, uh, hello. I've never really...made any of these 'diary' things before, but I figure it'd be nice to record my thoughts so I don't go insane. Plus, if I die gloriously, this'll make a great footnote!
Another day in the life of Tamiyo Hironaka... The Keisatsu decided to kick me out after I let that nice boy escape with a few too many boxes of that orange junk. He looked too young and sweet to actually know what he was doing, but apparently the overlords of Kusari think that's grand treason.
So, here I am, unemployed, with nothing but a freighter and some credits to my name. I could work for a corporation, or just do some freelance trading - it's really boring though! I don't want to die with nobody knowing my name. I wanna be famous - a rockstar! - and I can't do that hauling rice to backwater stations.
I could become a pirate, but I don't really need money. Nothing more than enough to feed me, that is! And I kinda missed busting pirates, back on the force...come to think of it, some of the officers were thinking about doing some on-the-side bounty hunting. Bounty hunting! Yes! That's what I wanna do. I can make money doing the thing I've always loved!
Gonna need a better ship, though. This poor excuse for a cargo hauler isn't gonna stop any pirate with half a brain and a few working guns. I think I should pay my old friends a visit on Deshima...

Today was fun! I met a lot of new people. There's so much to write, so I think I'll save most of it for later entries.
I lifted off from Kyushu in my beat-up cargo hauler, with a hold full of Kyushu Rice...thought I'd make a profit somewhere, however boring it may be! But when I came into Sigma-13, I came across two Zoners: Alan and John. They were real nice, telling me about the spooky dangers of the Omicrons and giving me advice on where to make money! Alan even gave me a small donation to help me along the way, and I donated my rice to John as he had a family to feed and I felt like returning the favor. I parted ways with them after that, to go buy some fuel from Okinawa...the "runners", as they were called, told me about it!
I made my way down through Shikoku, into...Kapler Kepler. I was a bit lost, because I hadn't been here before...but the trade lanes helped, and eventually, I made it to "Liberty"! It was so cool! They had this big battleship near the first planet, and then a big cool station called Pueblo! And then there was this nice girl at the jump gate...Siobhan, I think. Told me a lot about Liberty. She asked me to drop my cargo hold, which I did, because she was so helpful! And I brought her and her friends - I think she works for the border patrol? - some beer from Manhattan when she let me through, because they were all so kind. Then they got in a fight with some other group, called "Faze" or whatever. I couldn't really tell who they were, but it seemed to last a while. I hope she's okay - I really liked her!
I think I'll try to contact her on the Neural Net...
