Some of you know me already, but most of you probably do not, therefore I will start by introducing myself. I am Aina Serizawa. My homeland used to be on planet Honshu, where I was on 796 A.S. born and raised by authoritative parents, whom I had to obey. Six years later, my sister Naomi was born and from that point, my father, Minoru Serizawa, began to go crazy, probably because of work. He became an alcoholic and it got out of hand. He started acting violent towards my mother, Yuzuki. When, despite being told not to, I reported it to fix the disarray in my family, the Kusarian authorities ignored it. Every single time I had done it.
I finished my physics degree at the age of 22 and by that time, I had chosen to work for Kishiro technologies, because it was the most practical choice as Yukawa shipyard is close to Honshu. Additionally, I wanted to design spacecraft engines, so Yukawa seemed perfect. But they only offered me a position of secretary. Because I needed a job urgently, I could not refuse, however, I was promised a position in the logistics department, and I would appreciate that too. Sadly, they never gave me that position. In the meantime, my mother gave Naomi money and sent her to live with me a week before commiting a suicide.
I suppressed my anger and lived on and so did my sister. Taking care of 2 people is rather difficult, but five years later Naomi got herself a degree, became a nurse and went her own way. There were a plenty of women I met on Yukawa, that I could relate to. We formed a community of sorts and we would talk about our problems, laugh with each other and have drinks. Soon, I became best friends with Akira, a woman from the logistics department. But despite all this, the conditions got worse and only our male colleagues got promoted. They started abusing us and behaved in an inappropriate manner. Complaints to the higher-ups were pointless.
One day on Honsu, I met my sister again and was infuriated when I discovered she was molested by her colleague and there was not done anything about it. That's where I could not take it anymore. My hate for the whole Kusari grew. Akira was the first one, whom I told about my rebellious thoughts. She responded me by giving me a book. Golden Chrysantemums in Bloom was its name. I really liked it.
Every woman in our small community on Yukawa started to wish for a change. A change of the whole political system of Kusari. It seemed naive at first, but what would be the point of continuing our current lives? A crazy idea was born in my head. What if we somehow stole a big ship and desert this forsaken system?
Once, a "Big Dragon" transport landed in the docks of Yukawa to load cargo. The whole crew left the ship to take a break and it was an opportunity we were long waiting for. We seized the transport and took off from Yukawa. Luckily we had experienced pilots among us, so while the flight was sloppy, it worked out nicely. Upon arrival to New Tokyo, we were intercepted by a naval forces fighter wing. They were surely expecting our arrival. We escaped into the Chiba field, but were pursued. The hull took massive damage and was buckling by the time we sumbled upon a jump hole, leading to Hokkaido. On the other side, we were rescued by a wing of Golden Chrysanthemums and escorted to Akita depot. We separated, but from time to time, we pilot the transport up until now.
That is how our new life started. We all share the same goal - to overthrow the government at all costs. I don't want any woman to go through what I did.
Enough about me. The day before yesterday I was patrolling the Sigma-15 system, when I noticed something unusual. Rheinland military vessels were sighted, along with a single corsair vessel. As to what the operation was, I have no more details, but the Corsair bomber was intercepted by military, judging from the damage inflicted on the hull. He was tailing me until we reached Scharhorn asteroid field, where we battled. Luckily enough, I managed to take him down and continue the patrol. The Rheinland military ships were briefly picked up on radar, but I was unable to identify them.
Exhausted by the fight, I retreated to New Tokyo, where I reunited with miss Yunoki. Together, we set course to Kinkaku-Ji station. More sisters joined us, which surprised me, but still, I managed to assert myself as much as possible. Miss Saya first interviewed me as a new recruit, but then we were called to action, because naval forces were spotted in Shikoku. It was a platoon of three fighters, and we were able to take them all down. However, we suffered losses too. My ship got caught, along with an enemy ship, in a missile blast. Luckily, my escape pod was functional, and was retirieved in one piece.
It is an honor to fight alongside you, sisters!
Ending transmission.
