Konninchiwa... I suppose it is not my place to call you Sister.
I don't have anything to offer you. I can't promise you the heads of your enemies, nor the resources you need. Instead, I find myself in a position where I must plead help from you. The irony is not lost, I assure you.
Until recently I was Kaigun Shoi Miyagi, posted to the Battleship Myoto. As you may have gathered, my training did not go well. It... Perhaps it was not my first choice to serve in the Naval Forces, but it was certainly not forced upon me. I flew as best as I was able, better even, then many of the other pilots. They chose not to see it. They saw.. Other things. It is not fit to discuss it over a communication, let us suffice to say, that it convinced me to depart. Know that I no longer fly for the Emperor, nor do I wish to.
So.. Here I am. I have nowhere else to turn to. Hai, I've fought against you in the past and I see now how mistaken I was. Perhaps we fought for the same thing; I was just looking for it in the wrong place. I do not ask for your forgiveness, I do not ask for your trust. I just need... I need some time to think. I can only stay in a fighter so long. Watch me, guard me, whatever you think is needed, I just want somewhere to stay. I don't want to leave Kusari. Not yet, anyway. I would guess, from what I've seen of your patrols, that you have somewhere...
You can not change your past, you have to accept it the way it is. You can however change the future and you are right about to do it. We know mercy, we can forgive you for the mistakes you made. There is only one thing you have to accept in exchange for our trust. I will not allow you to stay on our bases before you took a few doses of Cardamine. It is nothing bad, it will not hurt or harm you in any other way, but it will be the first step into the future. Unfortunately we can not allow you close to us before you have done this.
I did not expect such a gracious response. I... I will accept your terms, not that there is much choice, hai? You could offer me a glass of nails just as readily Okasan, and I would drink it willingly. It is a small price when weighed against ones freedom. Cardamine is not easy to obtain here, however, short of raiding a convoy. That much, I am not yet able to do. I suspect the Naval Forces have shut off my jump gate codes, I am certain you see the difficulty.
Perhaps it would be best, if first we were to meet in space?
I would like to meet you in space, but I can not, there is too much work to be done. Work that requires my presence here. You are right in one thing, the Naval Forces will have disabled your gate codes, but that does not stop you from using anomalies, right? There are plenty of them in Kusari. I will give you coordinates for a place where we can meet. Dont be afraid, your scanners and sensor equipment will not work there, but that is what makes this place special.
