Konnichiwa, Mishiro,
I hope this message finds you in good health and that - should you still be visiting Kusari - you have made new, fonder memories than the ones you left with when you were young. The reason why I contact you now is that I have gone over the logs of our previous conversations; in doing so I realized how much I would like to visit the systems you spoke of. You once offered to return the favor of touring you through Kusari in kind and I would like to take you up on that offer.
However, there is an urgent task keeping me in Kusari for the moment. I fear I cannot share much with you, but I do wish to offer you a word of warning. Should you come across sisters of the Golden Chrysanthemums flying the CH- transponder, be wary. They may pose an immense threat.
Please reply to this message if you do encounter them.
I have to admit I was rather happy and surprised to notice a transmission coming by you. In-between now and the last time we spoke I made a few trips back and forth between Kusari and Liberty, I was, of course, unfortunate enough to not come across you again during my time in Kusari even though I have spent quite a while here. I would be lying if I said you aren't one of the primary reasons I keep returning up here every so often. It brings me even greater happiness to know that you're taking my offer and allowing me to repay the favor that I owe you.
I've spent the last two or three days exploring around Kusari, Honshu specifically. Yeah, I decided I'd give the system a go, but I've kept away from the planet's vicinity as I am afraid it's view will only bring me grief and bad memories. In fact, after I would've seen you - and informed you- I would be taking the Sigma route off to the Omicrons - perhaps as your escort - as I was informed just a few hours ago of... something. I will let you guess what that is.
Your task is of utmost importance especially if it involves rogue entities within the ranks of the Chrysanthemums. I have not came across sisters flying under the CH- transponder as of this moment, but I will keep my eyes open, thank you for the warning.
I hope the same, Asai. Please, do take care.
PS: I know, I disobeyed the rules and replied to the message -without- having encountered them. I couldn't help myself, bad Mishiro!
That's great to hear! I haven't been around lately as I went off towards the Omicrons for a quick journey back home. But I can come back to Kusari and we can leave for our travel whenever you want! I'll be packing my necessary things and leaving the Omicrons on my earliest convenience!

Mishiro,
Then perhaps tomorrow would be the right day to embark on our tour. I will have a ship prepared by then. If nothing hinders you, meet me aboard Ainu at 2000 hours Sirian Mean Time.
I am so sorry for not being in Kusari on time, I kinda messed up the time of our meeting entirely. I thought it'd be now but it was a whole hour ago. I'll be around for a while in case you are still available. My apologies for this error.
It has been some time since we last spoke. I hope you find yourself in good health.
Forgive me for not contacting you sooner, but there has been some turmoil amongst the Dragons of late, and I was duty-bound to see it through. I fear my dislike for politics has only grown fiercer since.
If you are in or near Kusari, I would like to meet with you again. Our encounters sweetened the otherwise plain monotony of my patrols.
Seeing a message arrive from you brings me great pleasure! I have indeed found myself in good health, commanding the Blank Dream as of late and beating some Nomad butt out in the Omicrons. That being said, I would love to take a break from all of this and visit Kusari again. It hasn't been that long since I was there but I gotta say I missed the place.
Would be nice if I came across you on my trip back to Kusari, I still owe you that trip to the Omicrons, after all.
I hope the turmoil you're describing that has occurred between the Dragons isn't too important, I assume we'll speak about it in more detail when we meet, but until then do take care and be careful.
