The fuel handler on Freeport 9 has told me that there have been people to the Freeport who have told stories of them seeing 343rd in action once more. Is it true? Has the Imperial Navy truly returned? Tell me this is more than just a rumor. Please, I must know!

Kon'nichiwa, Yamaji-san,

The rumors were no rumors but truth, the 343rd has returned, what is it that you need?

Yukiyama Minako-sama, this is wonderful news!
It brings fire into my heart once more.

I hope you can forgive me, I currently have a stolen Osprey MkII that I have used to escape from the siege of Freeport 11 - the previous owner was already dead.

Currently I am in Sigma-19 with plans to go to Kyushu to find people I once knew. When the fuel handler stated that Dai 343 is resurfacing, my main reason to travel to Kyushu changed. I must find you!

You see, I am Ryo Yamaji, previously Kaigun-Daii to the Imperial Navy. I would truly like to find out more about the new leadership and their motives. This way I can make a final decision whether to rejoin the ranks.

I will be in Kyushu at 1800 Sirian Time. I will not leave until I have met you and made my decision.

Ryo Yamaji

Kon'nichiwa, Yamaji-san,

I am the new leadership, following my cousin Sakuma Hitomi, if you can rejoin is something we have to decide, but since you claim to be experienced, I would give you a chance, come to Kyushu and introduce yourself personally if you want.

Meiyo to yūki,

My sincerest apologies, Yukiyama Minako-sama. My years out of service have left me without manners. Of course it is up to you to decide. And yes, I do indeed have experience in both leadership and stealth reconnaissance work, however being excellent at stealth I have rarely been involved in dogfights, this means that my skills in combat are slightly lacking. I do however believe that what I can do will be of good use to Dai 343.

I am currently orbiting Planet Kyushu, I trust you already see the ship on your defense grid. I greatly look forward to our meeting!

Ryo Yamaji

I have met with {343}Iitaka,H-Chus and {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi who have only further encouraged me to request to rejoin the ranks of Dai 343.

As the Libertonians say, where do I sign up?
