Dreamers of Kusari - Tyroflion - 06-21-2012 .::Opening personal log::. .::Decrypting::. These is a personal diary of Ittō Kaisa Watanabe Yosho, captain of KDF-Inazuma a Komainu class battlecruiser of Kusari Republic. "Kusari Republic, eh? I don't think I'll ever get used to it. Well I should be gratefull. KR is the one that paid for this wonderfull ship and Navy put me in the charge, so if anything I should be gratefull for the goverment I serve. but it still sounds weird and, even if I wouldn't admit it publicly, also wrong. But things are this way nowdays and we can either get used to it and adapt or get left behind like the old guy who was the captain of the last incarnation of Inazuma. But that cruiser has been scrapped and instead the Navy in it's moment of brilliance decided that the next ship of this name shall be a battlecruiser. And I must say I love this decission. The fresh new Komainu armed to the teath, dangerous as a battleship, but with far smaller profile and a thruster for aditional speed is already becoming a symbol of terror for all those pirates and terrorists in Sirius. Inazuma is my third command. My last ship KDF-Houshinjoutai was a Destroyer that met it's end in a fierce battle with a Blood Dragons Togo in defense of Samura station named Sjhiojiri in Nagano. I think that memory of rupturing metal, sparks of electricity and exploding consoles everywhere will stay with me forever. But it is almost a year since this happened. And after countless therapies and psychological sessions I was "deemed fit for command" once again. And the admirality decided I even deserved a better ship. So here I am on the bridge of a Battlecruiser. Surrounded by ensgins half my age who could easily be my children, watched by my senior officers who still regard me as "the man who lost his ship and crew to a lowly pirate" sitting in a chair that still smells like new piece of plastic, ready to face all the threats to Kusari Republic." .:: Transmission Terminated::. Dreamers of Kusari - Tyroflion - 06-22-2012 .::Opening personal log::. .::Decrypting::. "So, last night was terrible. In the evening one of the FTL engines blew up. Nobody knows for sure why. The engineering spent several hours just assesing the demage. Also I had one of those dreams. God, every time I think of those dreams I need to drink. Now where is the sake." Sounds of steps walking across the room screaching of an opened cupboard and the sound of liquor. "So, I have these dreams ever since I lost Houshinjoutai. My therapist says those are just an images of my sub-conciusness that's trying to cope with the loss, but they seem much more real to me. There is always a woman, dressed in Kusari uniform, straight long black hair, eyes that could pierce bodyarmor. She speaks but I don't hear what she's saying. Like if someone covered my ears. I feel like I know her but I am absolutely sure I never met her. And then visions. Glowing shapes swirling in the darkness of space. The feeling of movement in incredible speed. The touch of sun on my skin, unhindered by any clothing. And then the pain. The terrible pain and the feeling of emptiness, like a sudden realisation of how big and empty space really is. And the loss. Voices from my mind just gone. I'm alone. All alone in the universe. And then I usually wake up. I wonder what this all means." "Anyway I created a small program that's looking into the Navys personal files at least those that I can reach for the woman of my dreams. Yesterday I finished with the last of the active members and now it's digging deep into the past. And I won't stop untill I find her." .:: Transmission Terminated::. RE: Dreamers of Kusari - Tyroflion - 02-24-2013 .::Opening personal log::. .:ecrypting::. So, it's a long time since I had the luxury of enough free time to write a personal log. The Republic's assignent are still the same, nothing has changed. Well except the whole "working together with Galia" but otherwise the post is still the same old boring place. Sitting in a middle of nowhere, protecting tradelanes, doing nothing but greeting Gaijin traders passing by all day.... I'm starting to think somebody up there in the chain of command doesn't want me to get into anymore problems... Anyway, apart from the eternal boredom, there is a certain thing that's been keeping me interested. Wattanabe gets up, walks to the edge of the field of view recorded by the camera and pours himself a cup of tea. That woman who's face I remember. She WAS an actual member of Kusari Navy. Amy Masako. A captain in KNF during and after the Nomad War. Oficially retired. But noone seems to know where she went or if she is still alive. And her battleship was never decomissioned. Neither is there a record in the database of who is commanding it. I did get it's coordinates so I think I'll try to find some time in my "bussy" schedule to visit that ship to find out who the hell is flying it. We can see Watanabe reach somewhere behind the camera's field of view. He picks up an old photo. It shows a group of people with Wattanabe standing in the middle, all smiling happily and waving at the camera. Heh, it's almost two years now, since I lost Houshinjoutai but I still miss them. My old crew. Jirou, Kenji, Shoji even little Saburou. I wouldn't be where I am today without them. Well enough day-dreaming. I'm still too young to be nostalgic about my old crew-mates. 40 is no age to day-dream about the past. Let's get back to work. Wattanabe out. .:: Transmission Terminated::. RE: Dreamers of Kusari - Tyroflion - 02-24-2013 .::Opening personal log::. .:ecrypting::. What a waste of time. I flew to the coordinates in the Kayo Cloud in Hokkaido. There was a lots of things there. Gas, explosive gas, Blood Dragons trying to kill you, a Golden Chrysantem trying to castrate you just because you are a male.... No KNF ship though.... In the end I made it back. I'm still surprised my Chimera made it, but hey at least one good thing about this terrible endeavour. Also I took a nap on my way back and had another weird dream. This time it was a place. Several asteroids with a structure built upon one of them. I looked into our database and what I found is astonishing. That place really exists. I'm absolutely sure I've never been there, but somehow I dreamt about it. It's called Tekagi's Arch. Built by late govermenor Tekagi, killed in the Nomad War. The place has been under control of KNF ever since, with the 113th division being the one in command. I still can't explain what's happening. First that weird dream about that Navy Officer, now a place in the northen parts of Kusari that I've never been to. I'll have to think about it for some time. maybe all that boredom is driving me crazy. But hey, my next psych evaluation is in 6 months so I have quite enough time to sort tis mess out. Comm panel nearby beeps, Wattanabe turns to answer it. He reads the message, then turns back to the camera. Seems I have work to do. Maybe this afternoon won't be that boring after-all. Watanabe out. .:: Transmission Terminated::.
