At first let me congratulate our Sister Sei to her good work, keep it up as it is Sei!
I met the KNF Soldier again, after she contacted me and was I able to show her the right way. Here are the records.
[GC]-Rika.Ito.: Konnichiwa Junko
Junko.Okanaya: *Shrugs, then sighs.*
Junko.Okanaya: So you came... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Hai, told you I would...
Junko.Okanaya: May I ask... that we go somewhere deeper into the nebula? I feel unconfortable because of all the civilians... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: *laughs* Hai
Junko.Okanaya: I will... follow you... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Come...
Junko.Okanaya: *To herself:* Good Emperor... what am I doing? [GC]-Rika.Ito.: This place should be fine...
Junko.Okanaya: H... hai... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: And Junko... you are doing the right thing...
Junko.Okanaya: I... thought about the things you said...
Junko.Okanaya: I realized...
Junko.Okanaya: I have been following the same goals all my life...
Junko.Okanaya: Just with a different... master.
Junko.Okanaya: I mean... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Hai?
Junko.Okanaya: You don't see many women in the Kusari Naval Forces, do you?
Junko.Okanaya: Well, I got in...
Junko.Okanaya: I realized, I did so to prove something...
Junko.Okanaya: *Sighs gently.* [GC]-Rika.Ito.: But were you able to prove it?
Junko.Okanaya: I... don't know... I don't think so...
Junko.Okanaya: Well, I thought I did.
Junko.Okanaya: But what you said yesterday made me realize.
Junko.Okanaya: I still am in a lower position than men.
Junko.Okanaya: As in, socially and all. [GC]-Rika.Ito.: *giggles* You ever will be...
Junko.Okanaya: I don't get half the respect I deserve...
Junko.Okanaya: Not even from Gaijins. [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Hai...
Junko.Okanaya: But what... what are your goals?
Junko.Okanaya: How can you alter such a society? [GC]-Rika.Ito.: We need to remove the harmful elements...
Junko.Okanaya: Harmful elements?
Junko.Okanaya: Isn't the cardamine that? [GC]-Rika.Ito.: The Emperor, Samura... all those that try to keep their power...
[GC]-Rika.Ito.: Cardamine is necessary...
Junko.Okanaya: W... why? [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Spies...
Junko.Okanaya: So you alter an entire genetic code just to... flush out spies?
Junko.Okanaya: That still is a rather... conservative approach...
Junko.Okanaya: If not ignorant, excuse me. [GC]-Rika.Ito.: It is the only one we can trust...
Junko.Okanaya: Your movement seems to be larger than it would appear...
Junko.Okanaya: But why would eradicating the Emperor prove to be good for women? [GC]-Rika.Ito.: *laughs* We get rid of him and this society wil be ready for a change...
Junko.Okanaya: What about the males?
Junko.Okanaya: Will they be eradicated too?
Junko.Okanaya: They will need complete reeducation... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: The ones that are willed to live on an equal level with us are welcome
Junko.Okanaya: Equality... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: The others... there wont be much hope for them...
Junko.Okanaya: But as I said... Ri.Xui: Konnichiwa sister, do you require aid?
Junko.Okanaya: The corporates and the Emperor have...
Junko.Okanaya: Wait, who is that? [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Konnichiwa and no everything fine
Junko.Okanaya: I thought this was a secret meeting.
Junko.Okanaya: *Shrugs.* Ri.Xui: Hai. I shall take my leave then [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Arigatou Sister
Ri.Xui: Do not Junko, I am blessed with terrible memory
Junko.Okanaya: Who was that person?
Junko.Okanaya: How did she find us? [GC]-Rika.Ito.: A Sister on a routine patrol, looks like we are still in range...
Junko.Okanaya: H... hai...
Junko.Okanaya: Uhm... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Now Junko, can you imagine a state where men and women are equal?
[GC]-Rika.Ito.: Free...
Junko.Okanaya: Uhm...
Junko.Okanaya: Rhein... land?
Junko.Okanaya: I don't really know, I've never been abroad...
Junko.Okanaya: What the hell? Another contact?
Junko.Okanaya: We are not safe here, Rika... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Hai... looks like he slipped through....
[GC]-Rika.Ito.: Lets move a bit more...
Junko.Okanaya: Hai.
Junko.Okanaya: Whoa! [GC]-Rika.Ito.: We should be alone now...
Junko.Okanaya: The nebula ends? [GC]-Rika.Ito.: *giggles* Hai it does
Junko.Okanaya: Hai....
Junko.Okanaya: I've never been this far out. [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Do you enjoy the view?
Junko.Okanaya: Perhaps it was wrong of me to take my patrol ship.
Junko.Okanaya: Hai... I do...
Junko.Okanaya: Actually... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Another thing none of them wanted you to see...
Junko.Okanaya: This is amazing...
Junko.Okanaya: I always thought Hokkaido was just one, big nebula.
Junko.Okanaya: Looks like...
Junko.Okanaya: You can't let yourself be fooled by appearances... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: *laughs* Hai
Junko.Okanaya: Well...
Junko.Okanaya: Remember when I said I have something to confess?
Junko.Okanaya: Which I never told... anyone? [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Hai, do you want to tell it to me?
Junko.Okanaya: Can I trust you?
Junko.Okanaya: To keep this secret? [GC]-Rika.Ito.: If you want to trust me, someone who should be your archenemy, hai you can...
Junko.Okanaya: I have... already made a decision...
Junko.Okanaya: Just by not attacking you...
Junko.Okanaya: I betrayed the Emperor... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: A good thing, believe me...
Junko.Okanaya: Is there anything more I could lose?
Junko.Okanaya: Do you see me, another confused woman of Kusari as your enemy, Rika? [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Why should I see you as an enemy?
Junko.Okanaya: Because.... I don't see you as my enemy anymore... realizing that I have been surrounded by enemies all my life...
-Encryption; requires an Elders ID to decrypt-
Note to those able to read this:
Keep it a secret, I do not want to break her trust in me.
Junko.Okanaya: Fine...
Junko.Okanaya: *Takes a deep breath.*
Junko.Okanaya: You know... I mentioned that I never had a relationship with any males before... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Hai Sister, you did
Junko.Okanaya: I think you figured out what would... continue already.
Junko.Okanaya: Or need I really tell? [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Its your secret Sister, you should say it
Junko.Okanaya: I loved only one person so far.
Junko.Okanaya: And that person was...
Junko.Okanaya: A woman herself...
Junko.Okanaya: *Sighs in despair.*
Junko.Okanaya: She never learned that I loved her... we were never that close.
Junko.Okanaya: But it is a sinful affliction I obtained.
Junko.Okanaya: And since then...
Junko.Okanaya: I cannot kill it out of myself... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Sinful? *laughs*
Junko.Okanaya: Hai... it... it is against the samurai code...
Junko.Okanaya: My honor... it's all gone... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Which is nothing... but lies...
[GC]-Rika.Ito.: Honor... can you feed children with it?
Junko.Okanaya: Well... no... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Can you help the poor?
Junko.Okanaya: No...
Junko.Okanaya: But with a great Kusari, I can... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Oh?
Junko.Okanaya: Hai... the expansion of Kusari would resolve such... issues... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: A Kusari that will never accept you, as you are...
Junko.Okanaya: *Stops breathing for a moment.* [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Do you really believe in these words?
Junko.Okanaya: T... true...
Junko.Okanaya: But I myself... can't accept who I am... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: *laughs* And... why not?
Junko.Okanaya: It is... against... the traditions... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: There is nothing bad in it...
Junko.Okanaya: It is against nature... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: No...
-Encryption ends-
Junko.Okanaya: I am weak for a Naval Forces pilot...
Junko.Okanaya: I am unworthy to fly with them... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Maybe... because your destiny lies elsewhere?
Junko.Okanaya: It takes me a lot of trouble just to conceal my real self.
Junko.Okanaya: It... does? [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Hai...
Junko.Okanaya: But I want... to make Kusari glorious...
Junko.Okanaya: I want to get rid of my impish emotions by helping a greater good... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: You can, if you help us...
Junko.Okanaya: How... can I help you? [GC]-Rika.Ito.: The Emperor is a malicious being and still you follow him...
[GC]-Rika.Ito.: Leave him, come with me...
Junko.Okanaya: *Shugs, then facepalms on her helmet.*
Junko.Okanaya: I am so scared... I should never feel something like this...
Junko.Okanaya: Truly, I am unworthy of being a Naval Forces warrior. [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Is it that bad to be "unworthy"? Unworthy to follow a liar?
Junko.Okanaya: It's not just... the Emperor! The honor! The traditions! The samurai code!
Junko.Okanaya: All these values I hold important!
Junko.Okanaya: Even though I need to bend my very character just to be able to follow them.
Junko.Okanaya: I still have values! [GC]-Rika.Ito.: You can gain honor by helping those that cant help themselfes...
[GC]-Rika.Ito.: And why do you try to follow things that dont accept you the way you are?
Junko.Okanaya: Why can't I achieve that by helping the Emperor?
Junko.Okanaya: But... do you... accept my diversity?
Junko.Okanaya: *Shrugs.*
Junko.Okanaya: It's not about me!
Junko.Okanaya: It's about Kusari!
Junko.Okanaya: I wish to serve my home as nobly as I can! [GC]-Rika.Ito.: *giggles* You are what you are Junko... And do you serve your home with assisting supression, injustice?
Junko.Okanaya: What do I need to do... to... to achieve a better Kusari then? [GC]-Rika.Ito.: You know the answer...
Junko.Okanaya: I will....
Junko.Okanaya: Need to think about this...
Junko.Okanaya: There is the cardamine.
Junko.Okanaya: I wish not to let the snake into my body...
Junko.Okanaya: Why should I let the impish serpent of cardamine take over my mind? [GC]-Rika.Ito.: The Cardamine... it isnt bad
Junko.Okanaya: Not bad?
Junko.Okanaya: It alters your very soul! [GC]-Rika.Ito.: And the Emperor, what is he doing?
Junko.Okanaya: Helping people live without cardamine.
Junko.Okanaya: Fight against its spreading. [GC]-Rika.Ito.: He is supressing his own people...
Junko.Okanaya: By providing them rehabilitation centres? [GC]-Rika.Ito.: *laughs*
Junko.Okanaya: W... what? [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Have you ever seen someone who came out of these 'centers'?
Junko.Okanaya: Well... no, but...
Junko.Okanaya: I myself never frequently visited any of these centres. [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Never asked yourself where those people were going after it?
Junko.Okanaya: To... work? [GC]-Rika.Ito.: You would have seen one...
Junko.Okanaya: I actually never really thought of this..
Junko.Okanaya: Where are they going then? [GC]-Rika.Ito.: They dont survive those centers...
Junko.Okanaya: Hai! Because the poison takes their mind over! [GC]-Rika.Ito.: *laughs* No because nobody helps them, those centers are lies, as everything else...
Junko.Okanaya: But why is it good if they are addicted to the cardamine in the first place? [GC]-Rika.Ito.: A long life, faster reactions... nothing you would like?
Junko.Okanaya: But it even makes you suffer brain damage, I heard. [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Oh? So my brain is damaged Sister?
Junko.Okanaya: I eeer... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: *laughs*
Junko.Okanaya: *Nervously sniffs.* [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Dont fool yourself Sister...
Junko.Okanaya: I am not... but... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: But?
Junko.Okanaya: Surely, it has to have some sort of negative side effect...
Junko.Okanaya: Otherwise, they wouldn't be banned from all the Houses.
Junko.Okanaya: It, I mean.
Junko.Okanaya: The... cardamine. [GC]-Rika.Ito.: It gives people the possibility to change something... why would those having might give the might away?
Junko.Okanaya: I don't know...
Junko.Okanaya: I will confess...
Junko.Okanaya: I have no idea what the cardamine actually does, other than what I read in the handbooks. [GC]-Rika.Ito.: If you had might... would you give it away to someone else?
Junko.Okanaya: Someone who needs it more, hai! [GC]-Rika.Ito.: You are like me then... not like the Emperor...
Junko.Okanaya: Why... why is that? [GC]-Rika.Ito.: He wont give his might away... he enjoys it too much
Junko.Okanaya: But once he's a sufficiently skilled leader?
Junko.Okanaya: Kusair benefits from him having his might! [GC]-Rika.Ito.: *laughs* The war is his fault... a war that makes innocents suffer...
Junko.Okanaya: Because piracy does not?
Junko.Okanaya: We discussed this point before... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: The rich can share... the ones thathave to leave their homes, cant...
Junko.Okanaya: *Sighs.*
Junko.Okanaya: Your words...
Junko.Okanaya: Are like silk to my ears.
Junko.Okanaya: I realize you may be speaking the right goals.
Junko.Okanaya: But how can they materialize? [GC]-Rika.Ito.: We need to fight for them...
Junko.Okanaya: *Slaps her legs.*
Junko.Okanaya: How?
Junko.Okanaya: Sparking a women's revolution?
Junko.Okanaya: In such a one-sided society? [GC]-Rika.Ito.: For example, we got many suporters...
Junko.Okanaya: Like?
Junko.Okanaya: The Blood Dragons and the Outcasts, I assume?
Junko.Okanaya: *Shrugs.* [GC]-Rika.Ito.: *giggles* Hai, but also within Kusari
Junko.Okanaya: Blood dragons. Not any better than the Emperor. [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Our cause is big....
Junko.Okanaya: I fought Blood Dragons not once.
Junko.Okanaya: They...
Junko.Okanaya: They found it disgusting too that a woman is flying a fighter. [GC]-Rika.Ito.: *giggles*
Junko.Okanaya: Why are we... I mean, you... siding with them?
Junko.Okanaya: They are the same bunch of people as the Emperor's men, just with another goal. [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Because we have to, we have similar goals Sister...
[GC]-Rika.Ito.: Right now we cant risk to fight alone...
Junko.Okanaya: Hai... I see...
Junko.Okanaya: Sister, I wish... I wish to aid you...
Junko.Okanaya: Is there... any chance I could do so...
Junko.Okanaya: With eeer...
Junko.Okanaya: Preserving my loyality to Kusari?
Junko.Okanaya: I mean, the Emperor...
Junko.Okanaya: Or... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: *laughs* You will have to decide...
Junko.Okanaya: I am so confused right now, sister.
Junko.Okanaya: I just don't know what to do... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: And assisting us, will help Kusari more...
Junko.Okanaya: I don't want to commit harakiri.
Junko.Okanaya: I lost all my honor as it is...
Junko.Okanaya: But I am too scared... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Honor... you cant eat it Sister...
[GC]-Rika.Ito.: Why would you need it?
Junko.Okanaya: But I have been living to... preserve my honor all my life.
Junko.Okanaya: It is something I held important. [GC]-Rika.Ito.: And... if someone finds out about... your little secret... do you think they will care about your honor?
Junko.Okanaya: *Gasps.*
Junko.Okanaya: I feel like crying...
Junko.Okanaya: I haven't felt like this since my childhood... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Cry if you need to...
Junko.Okanaya: But... it is... unfitting...
Junko.Okanaya: *Wipes off a tear.* [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Unfitting? Unfitting for a warrior maybe... you arent a warrior anymore...
Junko.Okanaya: I... I am... I am not...
Junko.Okanaya: Indeed...
Junko.Okanaya: *Takes a deep breath, wiping off another tear.* [GC]-Rika.Ito.: You saw the truth...
Junko.Okanaya: It seems...
Junko.Okanaya: I am just another "free woman of Kusari" now... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: 'Just another'? *giggles*
Junko.Okanaya: The nameless women I have killed under orders before... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: You are free...
Junko.Okanaya: I am free... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Nobody will judge about the things you did...
Junko.Okanaya: What... should I... do now? [GC]-Rika.Ito.: You should... feel it
Junko.Okanaya: Well, that is... what do I need to do with it? [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Can you smell it?
Junko.Okanaya: It's in some box... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Open the box...
Junko.Okanaya: *Opens the box, finding the orange substance inside.*
Junko.Okanaya: It is open... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Now can you smell it *giggles*
Junko.Okanaya: Emperor forgive me...
Junko.Okanaya: *Takes a deep breath of the substance.*
Junko.Okanaya: Good... Kusari... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: No... not the Emperor will forgive you... you will have to do that yourself Sister...
Junko.Okanaya: I feel... I feel...
Junko.Okanaya: It is coming... over me...
Junko.Okanaya: This truly is a wonderful place, sister. [GC]-Rika.Ito.: And is it that bad?
Junko.Okanaya: It is... marvelous.
Junko.Okanaya: I feel like being in a dream...
Junko.Okanaya: Everything is just so generous, so great and beautiful.
Junko.Okanaya: The orange dream... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: *giggles* You like it?
Junko.Okanaya: This is... the best thing I have... ever done...
Junko.Okanaya: I can't believe this is an evil I have been fighting...
Junko.Okanaya: It is... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: You know who you should blame...
Junko.Okanaya: Pleasent. Gentle. And forgiving.
Junko.Okanaya: Do I... need to blame anyone?
Junko.Okanaya: This truly is a wonder.
Junko.Okanaya: But right now. [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Who gave the orders to fight against it?
Junko.Okanaya: I could smite down on the Emperor with Kusari's might!
Junko.Okanaya: I feel no longer as one of them, sister. [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Good...
Junko.Okanaya: The Emperor shall fall under the wrath of Kusari's free women. [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Hai!
Junko.Okanaya: Hundreds of years of oppression...
Junko.Okanaya: We will not tolerate it!
Junko.Okanaya: This truly is marvelous... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Come, I will show you something...
Junko.Okanaya: Hai... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Take the power of your navigation systems
[GC]-Rika.Ito.: Just follow me...
[GC]-Rika.Ito.: You will see something not many have seen before...
Junko.Okanaya: Hai... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Which is the key to our survival...
Junko.Okanaya: I already am seeing such things...
Junko.Okanaya: The sun...
Junko.Okanaya: It is beautiful.
Junko.Okanaya: As it lights through this hostile, mysterious cloud. [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Welcome to Ainu Sister...
Junko.Okanaya: Ainu?
Junko.Okanaya: I have heard of this... place before.
Junko.Okanaya: Never knew it existed. [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Hai, you shouldnt...
[GC]-Rika.Ito.: Now you know that it does...
Junko.Okanaya: Hai...
Junko.Okanaya: Sister. [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Hai?
Junko.Okanaya: It seems your sisters are yet unconfortable to process my presence.
Junko.Okanaya: I cannot approach any further... [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Your ship... they do what they have to do...
Junko.Okanaya: I know...
Junko.Okanaya: I don't blame them...
Junko.Okanaya: They too see it as a representation of the Emperor's oppression.
Junko.Okanaya: I have to hide somwhere, though...
Junko.Okanaya: Can you perhaps show me a shelter, sister?
Junko.Okanaya: Or should I attempt returning to base? [GC]-Rika.Ito.: Go and dock Sister, they shouldnt harm you
Junko.Okanaya: Hai...
