Ug. I c- can't bel- lieve what just h- happened. O- one of your p- pilots - Aiko, who w- was a f- friend of m- mine - just t- tried to kill me and th- the entire crew of m- my transp- port! Sh- she's completely lost i- it; she w- was going on ab- bout how you - the Elders - w- were all someh- how horrible. Apparentl- ly, she was t- talking to that awf- ful Zetsuwh- whatever woman, and she s- sounded just l- like her. I... t- tried to help h- her see sense, but she w- was way too f- far gone. She someh- how got to t- talking ab- bout turning Oz- zei in to the Emper- ror's awf- ful dictat- torship - and th- then she s- said she should t- turn me in! It w- was absolutely ins- sane, she wasn't m- making any s- sense at a- all. B- but... then, sh-... she... ac- ccused me of... th- things. Things I'd n- never do. I w- was trying to h- help her unt- til then, b- but... th- that's just...

Yoko sighs.

Sh- she ended up sh- shooting me f- for not r- running off and ab- bandoning all of y- you. She w- wanted me to l- leave Ainu, a- and to leave Kusari. She want- ted me to ab- bandoned all of y- you to the Emper- ror. I w- wouldn't. She t- tried to kill m- me and my c- crew for it. She ev- ven tricked a Blood Dragon in a Gunb- boat into sh- shooting at m- me, too.

We w- won. We... sh- shot down Aiko's fighter a- and tract- tored her pod, then g- got away f- from Ainu and th- that gunboat. Aiko's st- still stuck down in h- her pod in m- my Percheron's h- hold right now. I st- stuck an extra oxyg- gen tank on i- it, so it'll l- last a few d- days, but I'm n- not letting her o- out, and sh- she will need f- food, water, a- and... C- Card- damine s- soon enough. C- can't give her the first t- two, and I'm n- not going anywh- where near th- that drug. I'm als- so not coming anywh- where near Ainu unt- til I get a resp- ponse from you. I'm st- staying with the Drag- gons for now. They w- were nice en- nough to let me.

If y- you want the records of o- our convers- sation, lemme know. Also lemme kn- know what you w- want me to d- do with Aiko. And p- please, please, just... c- clear this whole m- mess up. Thanks.

Oh, b- by the way, my t- transport's falling ap- part aft- ter her attack, but o- once all th- this is s- sorted out... w- well, guess we'll t- talk about th- that then.

Those are bad news Yoko, could you bring her to Ainu for an interrogation? Once you are here our engineers will take care of your vessel.

A-... alright. She'll b- be there with- thin half an ho- our. I b- better not g- get shot at ag- gain, though.

Um... s- so, as I w- was s- saying... um... I've g- got a transp- port now. Once it's f- fixed up... w- well, see, I'm g- gonna need to b- be able to p- pay for the crew a- and supplies f- for the Ichih- hara very soon. S- so... um... i- if I supply you w- with... s- some stuff from the oth- ther Houses you might n- normally have trouble g- getting, or r- really whatev- ver you need that I c- can get a h- hold of, 'l- 'long as it's n- not... th- that drug, c- could you help p- pay for the crews' s- salaries?
