Greetings, honorable and esteemed Elders of the Sisterhood.
My name is Yuriko, from the Saito family and I'm currently an Ashigaru among the ranks of the Rising Sons of Kusari. I don't know if you would be asking yourselves how I reached such place, but the reasons are plain simple: I followed the steps of my sister Miyuki who defected from the Naval Forces not long time ago. Once we reached Kyoto and were accepted there, my sister could continue using her Chimaera fighter under the Dragons' flag. In my case, I had no other chance than sticking to the ancient Eagle ship of our family. What can I say? The ship is rusty enough to be easily shot down in any skirmish launched into hostile space.
Needless to say that a Katana fighter would be technically impossible for me to reach, given none of my ancestors were in any way linked to the Hideyoshi's ruling. That's why you are my only chance to prove the Shogunate that I may not be a descendant from the first generations of the Hideyoshi's bodyguard, but that I can make the name of my family earn its place in Kyoto, so a C5-F "Blossom" crafted for me will provide me the necessary means to achieve it... And of course I will be in debt with the Sisterhood until the end of my life. I've got the blessing of the Daimyos to make this request so I'll be patiently waiting for your response.
You seem to be a rare flower amongst the Dragons, I have not heard of many women being allowed to fight within their ranks.
The problem you face is a big one, that is certain.
So I have decided to help you, the ship is yours, treat it well.
