Upon undocking from Battleship Nagasaki in the Enjinia to conduct repairs, I was approached by [KNF]Nobushi of the 66th who was near Planet Kyushu. We spoke for several minutes regarding purpose, politics, and potential peace talks. I have encoded the transmission into this report.
[05.06.2017 21:30:00] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: Quite a unique ship you've got there, Exile.
[05.06.2017 21:30:24] {343}Enjinia: Izu: Repair ships are uncommon then?
[05.06.2017 21:30:46] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: Not necessarily.
[05.06.2017 21:31:21] {343}Enjinia: Izu: Well, someone has to fix the things you guys break. Might as well be me.
[05.06.2017 21:31:43] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: An who's going to fix you if you break?
[05.06.2017 21:32:17] {343}Enjinia: Izu: I am expendable, as we all are. The cause is much greater than any one person.
[05.06.2017 21:32:55] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: Perhaps. But you're underastiamting the worth of an individual.
[05.06.2017 21:33:37] {343}Enjinia: Izu: Not the value of a soldier. Ours is not to question why, ours is but to do and die.
[05.06.2017 21:33:55] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: Oh. So you're nothing but mindless pawns.
[05.06.2017 21:34:10] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: I don't know why I'm surprised. I've heard this multiple times already.
[05.06.2017 21:34:16] {343}Enjinia: Izu: There is a big difference between mindless, and dedicated.
[05.06.2017 21:34:38] {343}Enjinia: Izu: Would you not die for your Gallic-loving leaders?
[05.06.2017 21:35:13] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: I don't even know where you're bringing that from.
[05.06.2017 21:35:57] {343}Enjinia: Izu: Being willing to die for my cause does not make me mindless.
[05.06.2017 21:36:23] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: And what is your cause?
[05.06.2017 21:37:08] {343}Enjinia: Izu: Restoring House Kusari to the independent powerhouse we used to be, under the rule of the Tenno.
[05.06.2017 21:37:25] {343}Enjinia: Izu: The rightful rule.
[05.06.2017 21:38:09] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: So youre cause is to protect, instate and serve a /mere/ individual?
[05.06.2017 21:38:15] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: //*your
[05.06.2017 21:38:48] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: I would have understood your perspective of mindless and dedication if it wasn't the case. But unfortunately for you, I've got
[05.06.2017 21:38:53] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: no hope for you anymore.
[05.06.2017 21:39:11] {343}Enjinia: Izu: The "individual" is the rightful ruler of our House. If not the Tenno, then another worthy of the title.
[05.06.2017 21:40:04] {343}Enjinia: Izu: So far no others are worthy, and no others have legitimate claims to lead Kusari.
[05.06.2017 21:40:45] {343}Enjinia: Izu: Besides, as an "individual", I dislike this in-fighting. It only weakens us.
[05.06.2017 21:40:50] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: It'd still be someone from whatever flock of royalty the imperial house tosses to the throne.
[05.06.2017 21:41:37] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: Oh? Do you now? It was you who started the fighting, and now you shame it?
[05.06.2017 21:42:05] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: It's like murdering someone and then apologizing to him for taking his life away.
[05.06.2017 21:42:24] {343}Enjinia: Izu: The fighting began as a result of the usurping of the government of Kusari from the rightful claim of the Tenno.
[05.06.2017 21:42:41] {343}Enjinia: Izu: Would you have been idle if the situation was reversed?
[05.06.2017 21:43:51] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: Eh. *She sighs audibly* Unlike you, us - the KNF- owe our alleigence to the people, not individuals sitting on thrones -
[05.06.2017 21:44:15] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: harvesting their own entertainment and wealth, nor politicans that wish to achieve their own objectives.
[05.06.2017 21:45:01] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: You wreak havoc in my nation, and I'll get out of my way to end you. Without prejiduce. Whether you're a brethern or not.
[05.06.2017 21:45:11] {343}Enjinia: Izu: The Tenno is the representative of the people. It may be unfortunate to you and I, but we need politicians.
[05.06.2017 21:45:48] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: You needn't to tell me lies, Exile. The Tenno is the representative of his own royal house.
[05.06.2017 21:46:22] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: The People are represented by the parliament, not a selfish individual on a golden chair with silver plates around him.
[05.06.2017 21:46:22] [KNF]Ni.Ujisato.Gamo: Ho! E...E...Enemy...!
[05.06.2017 21:46:38] [KNF]Ni.Ujisato.Gamo: W...What should I do..?!
[05.06.2017 21:46:56] [KNF]Ni.Ujisato.Gamo: Ho! N..No...Nono...Nobushi... You will protect me, r..right?
[05.06.2017 21:46:58] {343}Enjinia: Izu: And precisely what legislation has your own voice been heard on?
[05.06.2017 21:47:14] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: Damare, Gamo.
[05.06.2017 21:47:23] [KNF]Ni.Ujisato.Gamo: G...Gomen...
[05.06.2017 21:47:26] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: Stand aside.
[05.06.2017 21:47:34] [KNF]Ni.Ujisato.Gamo: Hai!
[05.06.2017 21:47:45] {343}Enjinia: Izu: Surely, if the current "leaders" are of the people, then your voice must matter.
[05.06.2017 21:48:14] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: What makes you believe it doesn't?
[05.06.2017 21:48:25] {343}Enjinia: Izu: The Tenno listens to the will of the people, and does not spend time in political debate before deciding.
[05.06.2017 21:48:31] [KNF]Ni.Ujisato.Gamo: E...Eto... It's just a discussion...?
[05.06.2017 21:48:44] [KNF]Ni.Ujisato.Gamo: He's not going to a...attack us, will he...?
[05.06.2017 21:49:08] {343}Enjinia: Izu: I am a repair ship. Attacking is literally the opposite of what I do.
[05.06.2017 21:49:19] [KNF]Ni.Ujisato.Gamo: Ho! I didn't notice!
[05.06.2017 21:49:31] [KNF]Ni.Ujisato.Gamo: *Ensign Gamo sounds relieved.*
[05.06.2017 21:49:40] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: That's where you're wrong. Your Tenno listens to the will of the people that influence him the most.
[05.06.2017 21:50:13] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: Debate is a necessity for the proper and constructive development of both society and a nation.
[05.06.2017 21:50:31] {343}Enjinia: Izu: Such as the one we are having now.
[05.06.2017 21:50:49] [KNF]Ni.Ujisato.Gamo: Eto... S...Sorry to interrupt, but... Sh...Shouldn't we be going now?
[05.06.2017 21:51:04] {343}Enjinia: Izu: Debate only benefits us if it leads to proper action.
[05.06.2017 21:51:05] [KNF]Ni.Ujisato.Gamo: They can s...s...send interception wings any mi...mi...minutes now!
[05.06.2017 21:51:28] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: That's what I'm wating for. You can leave if you want, chicken.
[05.06.2017 21:51:40] [KNF]Ni.Ujisato.Gamo: I c...can?
[05.06.2017 21:51:44] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: Eh.
[05.06.2017 21:51:55] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: I don't recall calling for a wingman.
[05.06.2017 21:52:10] [KNF]Ni.Ujisato.Gamo: A...As a matter of f...f...fact.
[05.06.2017 21:52:19] [KNF]Ni.Ujisato.Gamo: I was ass....ass...
[05.06.2017 21:52:23] [KNF]Ni.Ujisato.Gamo: Assigned...
[05.06.2017 21:52:36] [KNF]Ni.Ujisato.Gamo: To a scouting a...assignment.
[05.06.2017 21:52:45] [KNF]Ni.Ujisato.Gamo: Gomen... Did not expect to f..find you.
[05.06.2017 21:52:48] {343}Enjinia: Izu: Regardless of our stances, this fighting between us must end. If it requires both sides to concede, so be it.
[05.06.2017 21:52:51] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: Talk straight for once.
[05.06.2017 21:53:01] [KNF]Ni.Ujisato.Gamo: G...Gomen..
[05.06.2017 21:53:08] [KNF]Ni.Ujisato.Gamo: It's s...s...stress.
[05.06.2017 21:53:15] [KNF]Ni.Ujisato.Gamo: We're in enemy territory!
[05.06.2017 21:53:31] [KNF]Ni.Ujisato.Gamo: *Ensign Gamo sounds scared to death*
[05.06.2017 21:53:45] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: Bileteral talks are the proper way to ending the conflict, something I've been encouraging myself. But unfortunately, your side
[05.06.2017 21:54:00] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: seems reluctant to indulge in such methods.
[05.06.2017 21:54:03] {343}Enjinia: Izu: We have rampant unlawfuls, the aliens still attack, and there is no telling where Gallia wil stop, if they do.
[05.06.2017 21:54:06] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: And I wonder why.
[05.06.2017 21:54:32] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: Wait- You? On a scouting assignment? You've got to be joking me.
[05.06.2017 21:54:42] {343}Enjinia: Izu: If the Taisho, and the Tenno both agree, I would be willing to facilitate those talks.
[05.06.2017 21:54:45] [KNF]Ni.Ujisato.Gamo: That truth...
[05.06.2017 21:55:26] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: Doubtful. But be my guest.
[05.06.2017 21:55:54] {343}Enjinia: Izu: Perhaps, but if one does not try, then no one can complain that it didn't work.
[05.06.2017 21:55:56] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: Who's your CO, lieutenant?
[05.06.2017 21:56:22] [KNF]Ni.Ujisato.Gamo: Th...That Imperialist sounds like a d..d...descent p..p..person.
[05.06.2017 21:57:26] {343}Enjinia: Izu: I will file my report. I'm sure you will hear if anything changes.
[05.06.2017 21:57:57] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: I'm rather sure your report will hold similarities to previous reports.
[05.06.2017 21:58:03] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: The outcome will be the same.
[05.06.2017 21:58:18] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: Silence.
[05.06.2017 21:58:20] {343}Enjinia: Izu: Still, I will try.
[05.06.2017 21:59:27] {343}Enjinia: Izu: Until next time then.
[05.06.2017 21:59:39] [KNF]Ni.Ujisato.Gamo: Sayonara.
[05.06.2017 21:59:39] 2017-06-05 21:59:40 SMT Traffic control alert: {343}Enjinia has requested to dock
Today, the IKS-Ayanami patrolled from Newcastle, through Tau-31 and then we pushed through Leeds and skirted around the edge of the Leeds planetary defenses. From there, we bombarded several Gallic ships into oblivion, including a Valor, several crew from which we managed to captured, and a now held aboard the HMS-Macduff. Of particular note was a bomber that thought they could torpedo us away. We showed them wrong however.
