Everything since Maehara was destroyed has.. for lack of a better word, been better than expected - the expected having been our personnel turning on the High Command. We're doing okay for ourselves on the Utsunomiya, what with hydroponics keeping us alive and well fed, however, the Seraphine is currently combat ineffective. We're in a holding pattern in deep space, and have been using a unique technique for jumping using its' jump drive to move the fleet slowly over time, culling the time to destination from 29 years to about 6 months. In the intervening time, We've had no connection to the Neural Net, and as such, We are in the dark about what has happened in the past months. As such, I've been tasked with finding out - and as such, I'm going alone.

No Harpies.. none of my escorts.. it all feels so.. alien. I feel like where we were when Hanamura-sensei fled from Kusari all those years ago.. except all I have is myself.. It feels like so long ago, now.

I'm only now reentering known space.. The only reliable contacts I have are in Natio Octivarium. I'm going to make contact with Taskmaster Kane and the Natio and find out what all has happened. After that.. I've been tasked with trying to find allies in the Sigmas and vicinity that could work with us once we return to Sirius. Personally.. I grow tired of the speeches, the calls to order Hanamura-sensei keeps declaring. We're not rioting, but if anything, we're all just depressed that things went south so fast. It's as if there was a concentrated effort to bring us down at word go by the powers that be.

But I digress.. She's assured me that we're going to return, come hell or high water.. I will hold her to that. I love her dearly.. but I'm not as naive as I used to be.

I've hailed Taskmaster Kane and I should be able to land this fighter at Canberra. From there I'm going to request an appointment with the Natio to discuss matters. I think they'll understand our dilemma. From what I've heard the Natio has had to do dissapearing acts before.

I reported to Birdie-chan about the situation in Bretonia.. It's not pretty.

The Allied forces are all holed up around New London and most of the system is in ruins. It's like scorched earth - the Gauls are destroying everything they see. I did manage to kill a high ranking officer on patrol. Forgot his name, but the rank that came up from his return was that of a Colonel. I'm certain a part of the GRN's command is going to be hurting at least slightly from that one.

I am personally frustrated with the situation here.. We left for six months and all this happens.. I fear the worst when Elena-chan's home planet.. Cambridge.. Whatever god may hold dominion on this realm, please do not let that happen. I'm on my way to Liberty now, and moving onward to Rheinland. From there, I will check on Freeport 11, and then after that, do a quick patrol through Kusari and see how the war with Rheinland is holding up..

I am not going to lie. I personally am depressed by the situation here.. but then again.. I've been depressed since we had to leave the Sigmas.

I've arrived at Freeport 11, and to much surprise, nothing much has changed on the surface outside of a lack of Nomad attacks. I'm tired from having been up all this time since I arrived. I went to the station Diguised as my old alias, and I've been using some casual wear to help blend in. If all goes well, I should just blend in. I'm trying to keep myself out of plain sight for the sake of protecting myself. I don't want people, especially those with a bone to pick with Hanamura-sensei - to know I'm back in Delta. I won't be here but a day, but still - I'd rather keep any enemies of hers out of my hair.

Rheinland and Liberty don't have much to show as I mainly did a buzzing by of their systems. Harmony now has a fully fledged station with shipyards.. it bewilders me to see they're still alive - You would think that LIberty would have sent a battlegroup to eradicate them, but what with the system's travel problems and the Roi... I guess their inaction is understandable.

Rheinland apparently is working with the EFL on some project in Frankfurt - I didn't stick around to find out what, but I did see a EFL Trade lane present on the way to Munich.

I don't know what to really do from here. I will have to go to Kusari, and then back to the Natio to meet with with a delegate from there to get a clearer picture.

I did see a Orillion's Legacy ship before I docked - A doctor Callahan.. The name rings a bell. Maybe Vex-kun and Kalh-sama are still alive.. once I have things more clear.. I could probably ask to speak with her.

Anywho.. I'm going to bed. To think.. I'm only a skip away from where this whole mess started. We should have held our ground..

I've returned to the Natio after staying a while at Freeport 11.

Not much to report, but I'm planning on making an appointment to speak to whoever took then-Taskmaster, now Adjutant Kane's place as our delegate in the government. I haven't heard back from him, which has me concerned for his health. He did mention some sort of injury if I recall right, but I hope he has not relapsed.

Hanamura-sensei said that the battlegroup would be arriving on the outskirts of Tau-44 inside a certain Nebulaic cloud just outside of the star system within a week, and she wanted me to hail her when she arrived.

I saw some pilots head off to Roussillon for a engagement with the Gallic Navy. I also heard reports that things have gone south for the Council. Things could not be more bleak, even if I tried.

Here's hoping that whatever help we could recieve from the Natio to get ourselves going again, that it will eventually lead us to return to Kusari somehow.

Keiji Namura.. that man will pay dearly for destroying Maehara... our home.

The girl's voice is visibly shaken and depressed, on the verge of tears.

I have.. been asleep for so.. so long. My body aches, and craves nourishment after all this time.

Hanamura-sensei and the others.. have been gone for several years. After.. I lost contact with them I placed myself in cryogenic stasis.. in the hopes that they would return. I woke up to find Sirius has changed.. so.. so much. The world I knew.. is so far away now. No more Harpies.. No more of Bride-nee-san.. No more.. Hanamura-sensei..

I.. I hope they're still alive.. all of them. Somewhere. Because honestly.. that is the only thing keeping me from.. taking my ship.. and priming its' nuclear reactor to detonate as it crashes into the Kishiro headquarters in Oita.. is the hope that they're still alive.

But.. for now.. I need to.. I need to find help.. Marisa-san.. Hunt-sama.. There has to be someone out there.. someone from the old days.. who can at least give me some stability.. and maybe.. give me something resembling meaning and purpose in my life again.

The inside of a Hagane can be made out. Mieko's eyes are red from hours of crying, bawling her heart out. On the right control panel rests her automatic pistol.

This message.. is for Hanamura-sensei.. Bride-nee-san.. and the others.. and anyone who.. comes across this recording. For too long, I have ran, and ran.. at least.. when I was with Hanamura-sensei.. I didn't feel like it was running.. I felt.. alive. But now.. years have passed, and this world is so much colder.. so much.. different.

I.. have grown tired of running alone. The Harpies are gone.. Vex-san is gone.. Hunt-sama is dead.. and Marisa.. has yet to respond. I.. I grow tired of this world.. and yearn for the sweet release of death. Golanski.. Kishiro.. Lost Company.. The Commune.. I guess you.. all of you, can count your victory. It may not be Hanamura-sensei's head.. but I am tired of running - and it is my head you will get..

The girl takes the pistol, tears in eyes and frustrated emotionally. She aims it at her head.

I'm sorry.. Hanamura-sensei.. nee-san.. minna-san.. I can't do it anymore...

Goodbye..

Her hand shakes as the barrel rubs against her skull, a subroutine set to commit a non-preserving deletion of her root partition upon the death of her host body. She was all alone now, and would die alone, drowning in self-pity and misery. In days long gone she could have never contemplated taking her own life. But now - she was tired. Her finger starts to pull on the trigger. Memories past from all the experiences she has had in the past 13 years seek through her working memory. A final sanity test, some rogue process somewhere, trying to get her to stop. She pulls tighter and tighter on the trigger.

Nothing. She releases the trigger, and puts the gun down again. She breaks down crying, in tears. She can't will herself to end her life.. maybe because she holds out hope that her friends will come back. Maybe because she just can't give up. She doesn't know - it eludes her. But all now she can do, is cry, which she does, until she eventually passes out, hours later. The feed ends, as an auto-away trigger is activated.

Today I made contact with Curator Firmitas -- or Will, as he goes by, apparently.. His hand reaching out to mine in the depths was enough to lighten my mood. Yesterday.. after what happened.. I went to a house builder with what I could scrounge together - even managing to break into the long-since frozen Starcat Holdings accounts and.. liberate assets. I doubt the Baffin Universal Credit Union will.. be fond of that.. anywho.

The slow freeze of Gran Canaria has left an abundance of land for claiming, and I am the owner of a small home here in the Kieya Woods. It is quite tranquil, the scenery of pine trees and flowing rivers sates my mind. I wonder if this is what Earth was like for Hanamura-sensei.. at least in the rural, mountainous parts of where she lived.

The house is small, but it is homely. Honestly.. I am content with the idea that this may be where I spend my last days. There is something calming about my life ending here, potentially.. amongst the flowers, trees and beautiful animals of this freezing world.. Gran Canaria I feel is an analogy for me.. my heart has grown so cold - and possibly.. one day it would all freeze over, until I am no more.

But.. I won't give up just yet.

I met with Will-san. He was more than amicable with me.. and we had a long discussion about life.. the world.. and me. Suffice to say.. while I hold out hope for Hanamura-sensei and the others to return - I need somewhere.. something to anchor me. Tommorow I will hail Auxesia for recruitment. I hope that.. in spite of what happened before Leviathan, that they will welcome me.. and I will find what I need to move on.

Until then.. I will do some personal honing.. and practice this guitar I acquired from a person here on the Freeport.

She begins to play a tune, music playing, her fingers strumming at the guitar with ease. As the song concludes, the feed ends.
