Right now I am communicating with you as a citizen of the Kusari Empire rather than a Governor. I want to report an incident that had taken place in Planet Honshu’s high orbit that might be of interest to all Kusari forces. Hamamatsu prevented their raid from harming any civilians or being able to come any closer. I am attaching a blackbox log of conversation that ensued, as well as any visual evidence I was able to gather to back up my words.

[17.07.829 20:47:33] Touko.Hakkera: What in the...
[17.07.829 20:47:44] GC-Serizawa.Aina: Konichiwa
[17.07.829 20:48:03] Saki.Kawano: What-
[17.07.829 20:48:08] Touko.Hakkera: You tell me.
[17.07.829 20:48:11] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Hello.
[17.07.829 20:48:11] Saki.Kawano: Oh! Konbanwa!
[17.07.829 20:48:18] GC-Triad-4: Konnichiwa [17.07.829 20:48:30] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Friend Kawano-san.
[17.07.829 20:48:36] GC-Maruso.Michiya: I have a question for you.
[17.07.829 20:48:45] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Do you know what I am?
[17.07.829 20:48:55] Saki.Kawano: Hmm... Poetry?
[17.07.829 20:49:00] Saki.Kawano: I mean, is that poetry?
[17.07.829 20:49:00] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Not a bit.
[17.07.829 20:49:04] Touko.Hakkera: What is the meaning of this show?
[17.07.829 20:49:12] GC-Maruso.Michiya: It's a honest question.
[17.07.829 20:49:16] GC-Triad-4: M: I know this person. Has good sake
[17.07.829 20:49:32] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Since it is a hard question, I'll give you a hint.
[17.07.829 20:49:40] Saki.Kawano: I'd appreciate it.
[17.07.829 20:49:51] GC-Maruso.Michiya: I'm a person in a dire need of liquids.
[17.07.829 20:50:03] GC-Maruso.Michiya: And I also don't like my liquids soft. [17.07.829 20:50:16] Saki.Kawano: I like where this is going.
[17.07.829 20:50:21] Touko.Hakkera: Are you advocating for getting intoxicated while fired upon by a battleship?
[17.07.829 20:50:35] GC-Maruso.Michiya: It would appear so. [17.07.829 20:50:39] Saki.Kawano: But should we really hold this conversation here?
[17.07.829 20:50:41] GC-Triad-4: Some sisters have dubious hobbies
[17.07.829 20:50:48] Touko.Hakkera: That explains a lot of your behaviour.
[17.07.829 20:50:49] Akai_Amari: Good sake? Point the direction
[17.07.829 20:50:51] Saki.Kawano: Like that gentleman pointed out, it isn't the safest place to stand.
[17.07.829 20:51:01] Touko.Hakkera: I am not a man.
[17.07.829 20:51:02] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Certainly, this is the wrong place.
[17.07.829 20:51:04] GC-Triad-4: Let us kidnap this booze ship for some privacy alright?
[17.07.829 20:51:12] GC-Serizawa.Aina: I suggest heading over to the nebula.
[17.07.829 20:51:14] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Hai!
[17.07.829 20:51:30] GC-Triad-4: Saki, Follow Maruso
[17.07.829 20:51:34] GC-Maruso.Michiya: How are we going to do that? I don't have harpoons, we can't tether ourselves to it and tow it.
[17.07.829 20:51:39] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Maybe at gunpoint?
[17.07.829 20:51:43] GC-Triad-4: Or suffer the consequences
[17.07.829 20:51:45] Saki.Kawano: Copy that.
[17.07.829 20:51:50] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Yes, that!
[17.07.829 20:51:56] Touko.Hakkera: Trader, are you in distress? [17.07.829 20:52:07] Saki.Kawano: Well, I'm being kidnapped, I guess.
[17.07.829 20:52:15] Touko.Hakkera: Honshu is literally 5 klicks away
[17.07.829 20:52:23] Saki.Kawano: Do I have the choice...
[17.07.829 20:52:25] Saki.Kawano: I don't.
[17.07.829 20:52:35] Touko.Hakkera: Freedom was only 5k away.
[17.07.829 20:52:43] Saki.Kawano: Prison seems more interesting. [17.07.829 21:05:11] Death: Akai_Amari was put out of action by a hostile vessel. [17.07.829 21:06:58] SC-Zuikaku: what is going on?
[17.07.829 21:07:29] Touko.Hakkera: Just watched entire parade of GC kidnapping a transport.
[17.07.829 21:07:36] Touko.Hakkera: Though it can be argued that transport wanted to be captured.
[17.07.829 21:08:29] SC-Zuikaku: Whatever coming on Cruiser should be more than enough.
[17.07.829 21:08:35] Touko.Hakkera: Huh, you again... [17.07.829 21:08:58] Death: GC-Raimei suffered a self-inflicted catastrophic decompression. [17.07.829 21:08:59] Touko.Hakkera: all over Honshu and I think theyre heading towards Tokyo now
[17.07.829 21:09:00] Touko.Hakkera: nvm
[17.07.829 21:09:08] GC-Maruso.Michiya: I could say the same about you! [17.07.829 21:09:12] SC-Zuikaku: planetdiving?
[17.07.829 21:09:15] Touko.Hakkera: Did one of yours just... died?
[17.07.829 21:09:24] Touko.Hakkera: What the hell are you?
[17.07.829 21:09:30] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Atmospheric re-entry.
[17.07.829 21:09:37] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Unplanned, most likely.
[17.07.829 21:09:59] Touko.Hakkera: Life expectancy of GC must be short.
[17.07.829 21:10:16] GC-Maruso.Michiya: You have no idea. [17.07.829 21:10:30] Touko.Hakkera: Yeah...
[17.07.829 21:10:44] Touko.Hakkera: You're not concerned that one of yours just burned in the atmosphere?
[17.07.829 21:11:16] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Concerned? I picked up a pod signal.
[17.07.829 21:11:25] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Plus, what can I do? Un-burn the ship?
[17.07.829 21:11:43] Touko.Hakkera: You realize that if the pod survived, its going to be hitting water at terminal velocity?
[17.07.829 21:11:51] Touko.Hakkera: And assuming she survives even that, she will be at the bottom of the ocean?
[17.07.829 21:12:09] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Doubtful, pods have so many failsafes, it's almost impossible to die.
[17.07.829 21:12:32] Touko.Hakkera: Spaceships are designed to survive from 0 to 1 atmosphere pressure.
[17.07.829 21:12:36] GC-Maruso.Michiya: I mean, I have all kinds of thrusters and life support on mine.
[17.07.829 21:13:06] GC-Maruso.Michiya: With somethings as important as a pod, people don't make compromises.
[17.07.829 21:13:42] Touko.Hakkera: You are extremely callous about loosing precious piece of equipment and possibly a life.
[17.07.829 21:13:59] GC-Maruso.Michiya: What can I do?
[17.07.829 21:14:15] Touko.Hakkera: In your place I would not drink while flying.
[17.07.829 21:14:16] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Literally absolutely nothing at this point but hope for the best.
[17.07.829 21:14:40] GC-Maruso.Michiya: I doubt someone would pull me over and board my ship to check my alcohol levels, don't you think?
[17.07.829 21:15:12] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Plus as a person who is certainly not my father,you can't really give me advise on that.
[17.07.829 21:15:21] Touko.Hakkera: I guess Police will simply wait for you to run out of pilots and ships as you crash every single piece of equipment while...
[17.07.829 21:15:23] Touko.Hakkera: drunk or on drugs.
[17.07.829 21:15:57] GC-Maruso.Michiya: I mean, they aren't doing anything else anyways.
[17.07.829 21:16:23] GC-Maruso.Michiya: And you, what's your story?
[17.07.829 21:16:33] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Why are you camping this battleship and judging others?
[17.07.829 21:16:39] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Don't you have a life of your own?
[17.07.829 21:16:49] GC-Maruso.Michiya: An interesting story to share?
[17.07.829 21:17:02] SC-Zuikaku: Akechi: Konnichiwa
[17.07.829 21:17:07] Touko.Hakkera: *sigh* I work around here, so to speak.
[17.07.829 21:17:13] GC-Maruso.Michiya: And here's my que.
[17.07.829 21:17:32] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Work? As what?
[17.07.829 21:17:35] Touko.Hakkera: But having swarm of intoxicated pilots on trade lanes does not fill me with enthusiasm in going where I need to be.
[17.07.829 21:17:42] GC-Maruso.Michiya: You hunt people? Kill them?
[17.07.829 21:17:59] Touko.Hakkera: I am not a soldier.
[17.07.829 21:18:10] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Than what are you?
[17.07.829 21:18:15] Touko.Hakkera: Wow... you realy don't know, do you? Allright then, I will have you figure it on your own eventually.
[17.07.829 21:18:32] Touko.Hakkera: Police officer, its rather hard to describe events of this evening.
[17.07.829 21:18:43] Touko.Hakkera: Blood Dragons at least act proffesionally.
[17.07.829 21:18:49] GC-Maruso.Michiya: You look like a lapdog of the cops.
[17.07.829 21:19:26] Touko.Hakkera: If you are trying to provoke me, you are wasting your time.
[17.07.829 21:19:26] GC-Maruso.Michiya: A brainwashed husk of a man.
[17.07.829 21:19:33] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Provoke you? Please.
[17.07.829 21:19:44] Touko.Hakkera: Why you insist on calling me a man when I told you I am not one the first time around?
[17.07.829 21:19:44] GC-Maruso.Michiya: I'm just giving it as I see it.
[17.07.829 21:19:57] GC-Maruso.Michiya: A man as in a human being, not a male.
[17.07.829 21:20:59] Touko.Hakkera: Well, why wont you read the news or look up surname of Hakkera?
[17.07.829 21:21:37] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Mostly, because I really don't care.
[17.07.829 21:21:44] GC-Maruso.Michiya: But also because I've better things to do.
[17.07.829 21:21:48] Touko.Hakkera: Your movement trully has no future.
[17.07.829 21:21:56] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Than to look someone up so I can stroke his ego.
[17.07.829 21:22:05] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Everybody seems to think he's someone around here.
[17.07.829 21:22:07] Touko.Hakkera: again "his"
[17.07.829 21:22:11] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Famous superstars in space.
[17.07.829 21:22:17] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Yeah, yeah, whatever.
[17.07.829 21:22:23] GC-Maruso.Michiya: His, hers, its.
[17.07.829 21:22:27] Touko.Hakkera: Your brain must be totally fried at this rate.
[17.07.829 21:22:33] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Fried, no.
[17.07.829 21:22:35] SC-Zuikaku: Akechi: There is no living for a Matriarchat goverment
[17.07.829 21:22:45] Touko.Hakkera: Preffered pronouns is "she" for your record.
[17.07.829 21:23:03] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Dully noted, I'll keep using the wrong ones, seeing how it affects you.
[17.07.829 21:23:41] Touko.Hakkera: Extremely charming.
[17.07.829 21:23:43] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Might even throw a dude in there, just for extra effect.
[17.07.829 21:23:48] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Thank you, I try really hard.
[17.07.829 21:24:42] Touko.Hakkera: How do you plan on overthrowing government? Unless all you do is simply sucking up to the Outcasts?
[17.07.829 21:25:02] Touko.Hakkera: How low had so called followers of Matsuda had fallen.
[17.07.829 21:25:09] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Took you long enough to come up with that.
[17.07.829 21:25:19] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Did you had it written down somewhere, good SIR?
[17.07.829 21:25:27] GC-Maruso.Michiya: I mean dude, sorry.
[17.07.829 21:25:32] GC-Maruso.Michiya: No wait, I mean ma'am.
[17.07.829 21:25:34] Touko.Hakkera: I am baffled at your perceived lack of neurons.
[17.07.829 21:25:35] GC-Maruso.Michiya: My bad.
[17.07.829 21:25:47] SC-Zuikaku: Akechi: Their role now is to fullfill the piry Outcasts and being a Drugslaves.
[17.07.829 21:25:53] SC-Zuikaku: Akechi: Nothing more.
[17.07.829 21:26:15] GC-Maruso.Michiya: I mean, if you were with a dog in a room.
[17.07.829 21:26:16] Touko.Hakkera: I am inclined to agree Zuikaku. She seems to be callgirl, and of the rowdy type that talks back.
[17.07.829 21:26:17] SC-Zuikaku: Akechi: I would not speak more with this Woman
[17.07.829 21:26:28] GC-Maruso.Michiya: The combined IQ would be three, with the majority being the dog's.
[17.07.829 21:26:51] GC-Maruso.Michiya: See,thing is, you are dumb as they come.
[17.07.829 21:26:52] Saki.Kawano: Konbanwa!
[17.07.829 21:26:54] SC-Zuikaku: Akechi: I had a wife who was in deals with Bretonia during Tau War
[17.07.829 21:26:58] GC-Maruso.Michiya: You should've killed me hours ago.
[17.07.829 21:27:01] SC-Zuikaku: Akechi: She is one of you right now
[17.07.829 21:27:14] SC-Zuikaku: Akechi: This is shameless page in my history
[17.07.829 21:27:20] GC-Maruso.Michiya: I've been keeping an eye on you for a long time now.
[17.07.829 21:27:24] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Feeding tactical info.
[17.07.829 21:27:28] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Oh! That transport!
[17.07.829 21:27:37] GC-Maruso.Michiya: I'll get you next time, you space rascal!
[17.07.829 21:27:42] GC-Maruso.Michiya: No escape then! [17.07.829 21:27:47] Saki.Kawano: *clears throat* I paid my due, already!
[17.07.829 21:27:50] SC-Zuikaku: Akechi: You'll never do this.
[17.07.829 21:27:56] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Oh, you'll pay even more!
[17.07.829 21:27:57] Saki.Kawano: Hopefully the law enforcements are here!
[17.07.829 21:27:59] GC-Maruso.Michiya: You shall see.
[17.07.829 21:28:07] Saki.Kawano: *coughs*
[17.07.829 21:28:25] Saki.Kawano: Well, now that I am safe and sound, I should proceed.
[17.07.829 21:28:41] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Okay, fellas.
[17.07.829 21:28:41] Touko.Hakkera: Why were you dealing with these Outcast proxies, Kawano?
[17.07.829 21:28:54] Saki.Kawano: I was not dealing with anyone, pilot!
[17.07.829 21:29:01] Saki.Kawano: They kidnapped me, you saw it.
[17.07.829 21:29:05] Saki.Kawano: I did not have any choice!
[17.07.829 21:29:06] GC-Maruso.Michiya: She was getting robbed blind.
[17.07.829 21:29:08] Touko.Hakkera: I seen you with them, curious why you just didn't make the run for it.
[17.07.829 21:29:10] Saki.Kawano: They made me pay them!
[17.07.829 21:29:14] GC-Maruso.Michiya: And she will be robbed blind again!
[17.07.829 21:29:17] GC-Maruso.Michiya: If not killed.
[17.07.829 21:29:19] Saki.Kawano: Four vessels, one transport.
[17.07.829 21:29:25] GC-Maruso.Michiya: For her disrespect towards us. [17.07.829 21:29:28] Saki.Kawano: You clearly are stupid to make a run for it.
[17.07.829 21:29:38] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Can you believe she called me an alcoholic?
[17.07.829 21:29:50] SC-Zuikaku: Akechi: Hah, a typical Woman
[17.07.829 21:29:51] Saki.Kawano: Did I? I might have done that...
[17.07.829 21:29:54] GC-Maruso.Michiya: ME?! An alcoholic?
[17.07.829 21:29:59] Saki.Kawano: *coughs*
[17.07.829 21:30:03] GC-Maruso.Michiya: That was rude.
[17.07.829 21:30:04] Touko.Hakkera: One of your pilots couldn't steer right and burned in atmosphere. You call that not drunk?
[17.07.829 21:30:05] SC-Zuikaku: Akechi: Cannot deal with a Transport without a pile of four
[17.07.829 21:30:05] Saki.Kawano: Yeah, I should get going...
[17.07.829 21:30:12] Saki.Kawano: I don't want to be in any trouble.
[17.07.829 21:30:14] GC-Maruso.Michiya: I mean, my BOY Touku here tried to insult me.
[17.07.829 21:30:20] GC-Maruso.Michiya: But with little to no success.
[17.07.829 21:30:25] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Such lack of imagination.
[17.07.829 21:30:36] GC-Maruso.Michiya: I pity the fool that she is.
[17.07.829 21:30:40] Saki.Kawano: Planet Honshu, this is Kawano Saki, requesting docking permission. [17.07.829 21:30:44] 829-07-17 21:30:44 SMT Traffic control alert: Saki.Kawano has requested to dock
[17.07.829 21:30:46] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Eitherway, I must depart.
[17.07.829 21:30:56] Touko.Hakkera: At first I thought I would educate you on how to reffer to me, but I merely lost all hope that you could be ever redeemed.
[17.07.829 21:31:01] SC-Zuikaku: Akechi: Run away
[17.07.829 21:31:03] Touko.Hakkera: Not even 20 years of hard labor
[17.07.829 21:31:23] SC-Zuikaku: Akechi: And you are Hakkera, right?
[17.07.829 21:31:30] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Run? But you didn't even bothered to chase me?
[17.07.829 21:31:50] SC-Zuikaku: Akechi: Call your silly woman and try to insult me more
[17.07.829 21:31:50] Touko.Hakkera: Yes, Hakkera.
[17.07.829 21:31:54] Touko.Hakkera: They dont even know who I am.
[17.07.829 21:32:18] GC-Maruso.Michiya: I literally sat right next to a police cruiser and no one thought it's a good idea to point guns at me?
[17.07.829 21:32:45] Touko.Hakkera: Maybe its for the better.
[17.07.829 21:32:49] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Fifteen minutes you had to take me out and when I fly away you call it running?
[17.07.829 21:32:52] GC-Maruso.Michiya: -Laughs-
[17.07.829 21:32:57] GC-Maruso.Michiya: How old are you, kid?
[17.07.829 21:34:07] GC-Maruso.Michiya: What, no stark comeback?
[17.07.829 21:34:22] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Not even an insult?
[17.07.829 21:34:22] Touko.Hakkera: I've found someone far more intelligent to converse with.
[17.07.829 21:34:38] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Try not to fall in love now.
[17.07.829 21:34:39] Touko.Hakkera: Perhaps she was radicalized when you were serving our Great House.
[17.07.829 21:34:47] GC-Maruso.Michiya: I heard police officers are poor performers.
[17.07.829 21:35:23] GC-Maruso.Michiya: Ta-ta, payroll lapdog with undisclosed affilation, see you hopefully never. [17.07.829 21:37:55] Death: GC-Serizawa.Aina was put out of action by Kanto-2 (Gun).
[17.07.829 21:37:58] Touko.Hakkera: I guess lure of credits overcame their need for weap...

Three of Genan had been reported dead, with one commiting suicide by entering planet Honshu’s atmosphere at a sharp angle at a cruise speed. They have exhibited behaviour consistent with heavy alcohol intoxication and perhaps drug abuse other than that of cardamine which could help explain their actions. They are unaware of who I am, which further reinforces my belief that they are not only too incompetent to pose a serious threat to our Empire in any direct way on their own, but also lost sight on whatever delusions they used to rally for in the first place.
I can not guess whether this transport’s pilot is their sympathiser, or genuinely under duress however I cannot shake the feeling she is an indirect threat to House of Kusari and will attempt such stunts again. I believe you will know best how to handle this situation.
With utmost respect, GOVERNOR OF HONSHŪ,

Otegami arigatou gozaimashita, Governor.
We have already been informed by the Captain of the IKN-Kiyohime about the suspicions you erected regarding the named Individual. We are thankful for the details provided on the civilian Kawano Saki. They will be discreetly investigated by our forces and treated just like any other citizen for the time being. In the case of the suspicions about this individual breaking Article II-7. "Pledging support to listed criminal organizations in verbal, written or any other form is a crime" of the Imperial Stellar Codex, coming true, they will be dealt with accordingly.
On the topic of the Golden Chrysanthemums: They have a tendency towards suicidal behavior, be it in the form of radical, extremist suicide bombings or the odd 'high speed tanning' inside an atmosphere. Shed no tears for those who strayed from the path of law and order, merely pity them for they have fallen to the depths of manipulation and drug abuse.
