Nagumo-san,

After deciphering your message, it was clear to us that you do not understand our purpose so well. Your drive for vengeance is just, but we are not a vessel for its deliverance. All things considered, you were not deemed a fitting addition to the Kazoku and have been regrettably denied. We wish you luck in your quest for justice, but you will have to pursue it under a different banner.

Tohashi-san,

I am counting that since you were raised by our own, on our own home, you've been taught everything a Blood Dragon needs to know. You have been approved, but this does not mean your life will be easier than before, instead, it will be even harder. We will carve you into a weapon worthy of our purpose, and I hope you do not shatter in the process.

Welcome, to the family.

Full Name: Akane Akio

Description of physical characteristics: Elderly, can walk without physical aid but is too wizened to run/perform much in the way of advanced athletics/physical labor.

Short Biography: Akane is a native of Planet Honshu, and grew up as something of a prodigy in the field of Optronics. When an armored transport carrying he, other scientists based at Kansai, and their research notes regarding advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) were hijacked by a Blood Dragon act of terror, the young, green Akane grew to respect his captors and defected to them. Currently a respected (if notably eccentric) professor at the hidden Sendai Complex, he is renowned throughout the entire organization for his impressive advancements in the field of AI, with many of his used ships partially or wholly reliant upon the technology.

Is-- Is this thing on? Good, good!

*The man fumbles about for reading-glasses, before putting them on and begins unsubtly reading from a prepared paper*

I am Professor Akane Akio of the Sendai Institute, and I come to you today to express my... *squint*-- My strong desire to work as a scientist in service to the Shogun Watanabe.

I think my... *squint*-- My dossier speaks for itself. I believe I am very close to a breakthrough that could revolutionize snubcraft-combat throughout the Colonies forever, if it is my Lord's will that the technology be shared or sold. Already my personal fighter from my younger, glory-seeking days is completely refitted with unpiloted Artificial Intelligence technology.

Er-- That is, I am still inside the fighter craft, but I am only making minor fine-tuning to the Artificial Intelligence inside, it does all the work. It is advanced enough that it could fend off squadron after squadron of secondary-fleet fighters without any problems suffered in return!

Oh, heh... I'm sorry, I'm just so proud of my life's work! I also have some experience in working with Xenoarcheology and Xenobiology from the years I have called Sendai home.

Just let me get out there into space again and both myself and my creations will serve you until the death! Or... More likely, utter disintegration by a stray photon blast, but still!
