This morning one met up with a couple of younger Sisters in Honshu to help them for a short while. We intercepted a Kusari Navy ID'd Explorer and stopped it for a few moments at the Honshu Gate. The pilot was curious enough indeed, claiming they wanted to leave the service of the Emperor and join our Cause. We held back and tried to question this pilot who in turn used the oppertunity to slip through the gate into new Tokyo. Unfortunately for him we were faster than he expected and caught him soon enough where as he repeated his claims and we began to determine if this was something false or in fact an individual who woke up to the lies that is the Emperor and his Samura masters. How ever this was all disrupted by the cowardly attack of a single Bounty Hunter who caused major damage to my ship, forcing me to return to Roppongi for repairs. By the time I was able to lift off again with temporary repairs, the Bounty Hunter had been shot down by our sisters. Unfortunately, the Explorer was also a casualty of this whole event and damaged beyond salvage. We also received some help it seems from a young gaijin in a Havok Mk2 without us having to ask or even do anything for him. Perhaps we should keep an eye out for this young man and assess his usefullness to our cause. Not long after all this we encountered another Kusari Navy ship, a Gun Boat class, but as we were all either damaged or lacking supplies enough to make a sucsessful attack, we returned home for the morning.

[font=Comic Sans Ms]
Sisters,
Again, visitors from the Sealed Land have traversed to our space, this time they brought their weapons tainted with hate and disrespect along. They were different than the "Brigands" I previously met; their spokesperson claimed to have been a part of a certain "LaBriese" family. They also told me they were friends with the Snake that is Hogosha, they also preferred to ignore my warnings forwarded about their treachery.
A Warrior of Hideyoshi came to the field while I was conversing with the people of the Sealed Land, as they decided to pirate a Zoner right in front of us, the warrior issued directives for the foreigners to leave it alone. Since they simply told the samurai to "shut up," we have decided to slay them for their insolence.
We have taken down their gunboat, the fighter escort it had started fleeing, with the Blood Dragons in pursuit. I returned to Ainu to conduct repairs of my heavily damaged bomber.
For the Sisterhood,
Untersturmführer [haven't shown off with this for a while] Erika Hellstrom

I decided to head out to the Tau's this evening. Oddly enough, I bumped into a Barge of all things as well as a member of the Naval Forces. After taking notice that I had some of her fellow pilots in my hold, I decided to have a bit of fun with her instead of shooting. Taking off like a rocket, I told Miss Takahashi that she would have to come and get the pilots herself!
It was - quite literally - awesome. I ran, she gave chase. First stating out in Tau-29, then heading to Tau-31, Dundee, Edinburgh, Tau-31 again, Tau-23, and eventually Kyushu. Even gave her a bit of a narration on the land marks we passed. Heh... She was pretty antsy about following me into Edinburgh; comical even. Said they'd have her in stocks for chasing me that far into Bretonian territory. Guess the pilots with me kept her on me. Anyway... She seemed nice, and kept up with me well (Though she could use some practice with her pursuing skills). So... I decided she earned her fellow pilots back.
Funny... She has to be the first foe to make me laugh in a long time. And not just any laugh, but a good one. That Takahashi... She offered the suggestion that I join the State Police after serving some time. I told her I was not really into the thought of being in a prison, so she left me to my decision. We both seem to enjoy each others company, though we do not really agree on allegiances. To each their own, I guess.
That woman... She got me thinking on things. Odd things. Stuff I normally would not think to think of. I think I need to meditate on this whole thing. Suddenly I do not feel so well...
Greetings. I must be rather brief in this message, as I and my colleague Dario are currently trying to be traced through our signal. I recently came upon a Kishiro Tech employee in one of my shows by the name of Kuma. Unfortunately he didn't feel like volunteering for our biggest act.
*He smiles*
Enstead he made a rather large donation to it. Frankly, I was really hoping for a volunteer to practice my newest trick. Oh well. Needless to say, he seemed to be in a hurry and rather frightful of volunteering. I couldn't possibly imagine why. He had some cargo on him that instantly made me think of the golden ladies, and I just had to get it for you. I hope you find it most pleasant. I took the liberty of transporting it to one of your stations for safe keeping.
So, lots of stuff been going on lately. For one, we got a pair of miscreants in Orchids making a bad name for the Sisterhood down in Liberty. These two being The.Magician and his companion, Dario.Gaspar. Now I'm not naming names here, but someone around here gave them the things without first doing their homework on these guys. Not a really smart move..
Moving on, we had some trouble with the Independent Miners in the Taus yesterday. They decided to shoot Rika up on her transport, so I decided to shoot one of 'em back. Tough luck; they sent a whole friggin' fleet after my lonesome self in a Blossom. Gah! My blood is still boiling from the whole incident!
Paid a visit to Bretonia, too. Managed to get myself interrogated by some "Mr. Fujii" guy, though his callsign was made out to be Grazinti. Guy said he "feared for my safety;" kept asking for info on Yoko Mori. I swear, that guy simply would not shut up about the subject. Told him little of anything, if anything at all really. Gave him the slip after I had grown tired of his interrogation methods. Interestingly enough, he said he represented a public safety department, yet his loadout of Outcast technology suggested that he was maybe some sort of undercover agent.
Anywho... Lots of stuff. Figured I would mention it to you girls to let you know what I have been up to lately.
Last note: If you see those two renegade Orchids, be sure to snuff them out. Mainly see those guys in Liberty, though they told me in a talk with them that they "entertain all across Sirius." Rrrr.... I still cannot believe the Elder who decided it was smart to give them the things. If you ask me, I would have said "no" outright.
Harmony is the essence of our Movement. Listen to Matsuda's teachings and you will find the truth.
Konnichiwa!
This is my first report in the database. The past month I have learned lots of things and my fighting skills have been improved as well!
[color=#FF6666]★ Well, 2 weeks ago I found a Camara freighter in Chugoku system with G/L Parts on its hold. After a brief fight which I showed the fool that he cannot counter our power, he finally complied with my demands and dropped it's cargo. I also made it to leave the Blood Dragon system.
Blood Dragons... the media always say that they are our allies and our brothers in arms. However, they don't share our ideas. We might have the same goals but we are fighting for a different reason. In the end, when we finally succeed in our struggle, I don't believe that Blood Dragons would really be interested in creating a Kusari of Equality. Remember if women enjoyed freedom during Hideyoshi Shogunate rule in the first three hundred years...
★ Anyway, as I was making a trip to Bretonia in order to establish some contacts I encountered a Zoner Barge in Tau-23. The captain was very kind and he was hauling Cryocubes for Freeport 2 so after a brief conversation I let it continue its route. In Leeds I found a Kishiro Hegemon mining in the Niobium deposits... it was running like a little child so I started firing at him.. unfortunately Stokes was close so it successfully managed to dock there. An hour later I was chased in Leeds orbit by a Kusari Destroyer and a KNF pilot of the Primary Fleet, so I had to go to Edinburgh before I head back home.
★ Leaving Edinburgh jump hole, in Tau-31 system, I found a Gallic Royal Navy capital ship roaming around. My ship regarded it as unknown contact but I am sure it is a GRN ship because of some images that Outcasts have shared with us. The captain's words were very insulting and aggresive: '¢'¢'¢
Half an hour later, in Tau-29 I found a smuggler moving gold to Kusari. I demanded 1 million credits from the smuggler which I got pretty easily. Hopefully the money can be put into good use.
Then I returned to Ainu and finished my first travel to Bretonia.
★ Another day, in Honshu I found a female trader moving Optical Chips in a Firefly. She was aware about the GC Movement and wanted to contribute to our cause, so I asked 30 boxes of optical chips from her, since my Blossom couldn't haul more. Afterwards I had a brief fight with a Farmer's Armored Transport in Shikoku which I forced it to land on Planet Junyo. It was heavily damaged so my effort wasn't meaningless!
★ A week later, me and Saya Hiroyuki visited Liberty. It is very interesting and refreshing to see how is the world of the closed Kusari... the educating trips of new GC members is a great idea! We stayed 2 days there before we return back to Kusari and our cause. I would like to report however that a LPI forced me to drop the cardamine I had in my cargo hold. He was very rude. They regarded me like I was a common drug dealer...
★ Back in Kusari, two days ago, I wasn't in a good mood so my dear friend Saya followed me (in her Orchid) in one of my missions to gather more credits and supplies from Emperor's underlings... In Kyushu Gate we found a Daumann transport from which we successfully got lots of credits. Then a transport belonging to Black Dragon Society jumped and since it was very silent, I engaged it. Soon afterwards Saya arrived in the scene and finished it off. A KNF dog didn't make it to arrive in time, so he just engaged us after the BDS transport was destroyed. A fierce fighting occured but in the end we managed to prevail. Yuyu Matsuda was surely in our side while fighting the Emperor's puppet.
That is all for now. I hope I'll have more successes in the future, always with Yuyu's guidance.

Greeting
Before i submit my report i must thank you again for you sponsor and my rescue, may i be a worthy blade for your use.
Recently I finished the refit for my Blossom, while I am used to the bombers I trained in I find her agility to be remarkable and have configured her for ranged support, heavy with missiles and torpedoes.
Setting out on a shake down patrol to get a feel for her I encountered only a few patrols of police and navy, nothing I could not handle or worth reporting, however, on the last leg of the return I encountered the corsair *ms*maximillion less than 20 clicks from Ainu, within his gunships hull where 8 of our sisters and a few of the blood dragons, I issued challenge and pursued him though I rated my chances as slim against a corsair gunship.
The demand to release our sisters was agreed to but only the dragons where released.
I am sorry to report I was failed to retrieve our sisters, I was unable to close to weapon range before he escaped into Tau-63, although I followed I was ambushed by bounty hunters and in the fight the corsair escaped, I returned to Ainu in failure.

Konnichi wa, dear sisters,
maybe some of you have seen my big sister O-Ren and/or me near Ainu depot in the past.
Both of us are relatively new at the Sisterhood, and are not always sure how to react in a proper manner
with unfamiliar encounters.
I hope this channel is still active, the last entry seems to be made some months ago,
or maybe my encrypting doesn't work properly and i've got the wrong code... .
You see, i try to evade mistakes, and that's the point:
Today, we had a curious encounter at Ainu, a big, nasty ship named
Raider-21 of the [cs]... his markings where not in my iff-database, and he claimed the
GC are in danger, and that the consortium are now in command of the GC-pilots.
It even feeled like he tried to command us around, even if his words are spoken in a friendly manner.
Naturally we refused, but the situation was somehow...
...unclear, so we decided to not engage his ship.
I wondered if he could be a spy for the KNF, wouldn't be the first try of them to undermine us.
So, the next time when we will meet some of this kind, how do we react in a proper way?
Please forgive me if my question is undesired,
Your caution is appreciated, and arigatou for sending this message!
The ship you speak of is likely a member of the Consortium Armada, and should not be considered friendly at all.
They seek to usurp all we've worked hard to achieve these long years for their own selfish benefit, and this is something we Sisters must stand strong against.
Consider such ships hostile to the Golden Chrysanthemum, and ignore any order they attempt give you.
We do not want you to throw your lives away in battles you cannot win, so be smart about how you act, but do not allow them to attempt to sway you to their side.
They are the serpent, and we must not allow their poison to sweep through our ranks of believers.
