While tinkering with the mechanisms of a Blossom on Takada, I came to a tough decision.
I will be leaving space duty, my times as a fighter pilot are over. Joining the Sisterhood was a tough decision, something I will never regret, but facing my former superiors and comrades in the KNF is something I can no longer wear the weight of. I will always oppose the Emperor's regime and will continue prospecting for the Sisterhood, but no longer in space.
I got myself reassigned to perform duties as a mechanic, on Takada shipyard. I spent quite some time with making my Chimaera fly again, which was a period that gave me a considerable amount of knowledge regarding fighter engineering and repairs. I believe I could be of more use with creating and repairing the Sisterhood's ships until... I clear up certain things in my mind.
I wish all those with whom I flew with a good fortune in your endeavours, we will be seeing each other whenever you come to Takada. If all goes well, I will return.

Konnichiwa sisters!
Today, we brought the Daikoku transport back to Kusari from Rheinland, with some nice looking Blood Diamonds.
After they were unloaded and H-Fuel was loaded into the cargo area, we set sails towards Bretonia, which we successfully reached.
Currently we're waiting on New London for some freight to bring back to Ainu.
That is all!
Bye!
In a brilliant tactical movement, i charged backwards.
I had to deal with a rather unpleasant guest yesterday, at first he passed our and our allies space without a word, not following my orders. Once I stopped him, he dared to insult me and refused to donate something to our cause in order to lower the damage.
Seeing that both my generousity and patience were abused I took the fools Cargo, Military Vehicles, which were accepted willingly by our Bretonian friends.
Sei helped me with the transporting of those goods.
I was able to locate a Hogosha Gunboat today. A Freelancer located it in New Tokyo and asked for some help, so I moved there and made sure that the Hogosha took a rather huge loss. The destruction of this ship should show them that we wont give up our fight.

Um... konneechewa? Sorry, I've never spoken Kusari before...
Anyway. Quick message for a Tsukiko who was flying an Orchid out in Tau 23 earlier... sorry, I've forgotten your last name, this language is going to do my head in, I swear...
Sorry I couldn't be of more help, a Tiger Shark isn't really built for that kind of fight, but it felt good to throw a few missiles on behalf of the sisterhood. Hope to talk in a time and place with less gunfire soon.
Aki Shikio checks the message data base after being towed back to Ainu by a friendly Blood Dragon patrol who finally found her drifting bomber well above the planitary orbit of Kyushu. She sits down to type out a quick report and takes note of the seemingly lack of reports and updates from any other sisters, then chuckels at herself as she is also guilty of not reporting in.
Data Report: Strike Alpha Nine Encryption:
Konichiwa Elders and Sisters,
Some days ago this one was observing space traffic in Kyushu when she caught sight of a Sumarua heavy transport departing Planet Kyushu. One was able to get to a trade lane before it and disable the lane for few moments, long enough to bring the Samura to a halt. One made the demands the Samura pilot drop al his cargo or he would forefit his ship and life. Alas, this trader was not a Kusari born Samura pilot, but one can not allow that to sway her stand, and gave him enough time to respond. When he tried to bribe this one with money, she began to take his ship apart with a barage of Anit-Matter fire. His ship did not last long as there was apperently no armor plating built into the vessel.
**Adendum Report: Power loss during Ion Strom resulted in loss of craft power. Ship and pilot adrift until recovered by Blood Dragon Patrol. Suggest forward commendation to Blood Dragon fighter command for Patrol Unit. Data Cam evidence corupption evident, Sisterhood Advanced Data Processing dept attempting recovery. Cam evidence to be posted as soon as recovery complete.
After that one turned and destroyed the cargo least the Samura attempt to salvage any of it. Proceeding from there this one ran a couple of strikes against various Samura and Kishiro drone transports and escorts until the Navy sent in several of their Novice Piloted Class Destroyers, to which this one choose to retreat from for the time being.
Observation of Hogasha forces seems to indicate to this one a decrease in the Elite Pilot roster and more of an upscale back towards their use of drone fighters again. The notorius General Yar has been sighted only twice in the last three months since being assinged a mission by the Elders during the times this one has been able to log flight hours. Other members of the Hogasha elite have not been in evidence during this ones combat patrols over the last several months. Comclusion of readiness of the Hogosha forces is unreliable at this time due to the inability to get any agent on the inside of their elite piloting forces or track effectively the leadership, namely General Yar and any of his staff.
~Kunoichi~ requests update from Elders and assignment.

Konnichiwa.
Today i've been able to safe four of our Blood Dragon brothers, and collect donations of 1.3 Million Credits.
I'd have surely been able to collect more, but sadly, the traffic today was rather... little, so to say. 1 2 3

In a brilliant tactical movement, i charged backwards.
I took the Inari out to gain us access to some supplies. After a short trip to the Tau 23 system, where I was able to aquire donations in the worth of 6 Million Credits, I moved back to Kyushu. Upon my arrival in Kyushu I spotted a Samura vessel, which was forced to donate 4 Million Credits to our cause. A bit later I met a Freelancer, which more or less willingly donated 200.000 Credits to our cause. Once the Freelancer was gone a Hogosha in a Corsair made vessel arrived. The pilot was rather unfriendly, how they always use to be, so I decided to destroy the ship and kill the pilot. Sadly, when I nearly reached my goal and the Hogosha vessel was heavily damaged a Naval Forces ship arrived at the scene and I had to retreat.

Konichiwa Sisters,
This one has some little to report finally. Earlier today she left Ainu and headed into Kyushu space to roam around and find some 'willing' soul to contribute to our cause, how ever that proved fruitless so this one moved onto New Tokyo and there she found the first of few encounters for the day.
What one found was a Hogasha Marked ship under the name of LEONIDAS. It was rather unfortunate he must not have paid much attention to his flight briefings or whom he should be wary of. One was able to close in on him and when he thought this was was 'friendly' to him and possibly do some piracy, this one showed him the error he made with a well place shot of her SNAC. He did attempt to flee but to no avail, this one was too close and her Disruptors performed flawlessly. This one did not relent until the the reactor of the Hogasha ship went critical, destroying the ship with no hope of recovery by him or his allies.
After the destruction of the Hogasha ship, one moved to Okinawa for a quick run and came across a single Freelancer named Viewer_A. She was able to get him to stop with no threats or harm. As he was not traveling in a very large ship, one made a small request of Two Hundred Thousand Credits that he was more than able to transfer before being allowed to travel on his way.
Finally this one decided to make her way home when she came across a transport known as Myygeeto in Kyushu System. Despite the presence of rookie naval and police ships, she was able to get Myygeeto-san to generously donate Two and a Half Million Credits to the Sisterhood. One believes the Sisters should keep an eye out for this one as he seemed to have moved quite a bit of cargo in a very short time through Kyushu and New Tokyo, we may be able to get him a few more times before he changes his routes and the opportunity is lost.
After that, one returned home with nothing further for the day. Standard repairs and overhaul currently being performed on this one fighter so she will not flying for the next day or so.
