Konnichi-wa.
Encountered today a traitor as i was patroling in Seto. It seems he undocked from planet Leeds.
Surprisingly, that one didn't try to blow my vessel as soon as he detected me.
We talked for a while.
Sending here the logs as it gives a good overview of the motivations of those traitors.

[KNF]Ci.Ujisato.Gamo: Helping those bretonians, traitor? ]bd[Gendaito: Maybe. Just making sure this war lasts enough. [KNF]Ci.Ujisato.Gamo: Hmm? Why is that? ]bd[Gendaito: Isn't it obvious? [KNF]Ci.Ujisato.Gamo: Is it? ]bd[Gendaito: Isn't it obvious that we'd seek a weakened enemy back in Kusasri? [KNF]Ci.Ujisato.Gamo: You enjoy to see Kusarians and Bretonians die more and more? ]bd[Gendaito: Not enjoyment. But you blindly follow what the corporations dictate. [KNF]Ci.Ujisato.Gamo: I have no ties with Samura, mind you. ]bd[Gendaito: So, in the end, it's all your own problem. Oh, you do. Naval Forces high command do. Those orders you receive come from Samura. This war? Why happened? [KNF]Ci.Ujisato.Gamo: To protect IMG from Bretonia's grip. ]bd[Gendaito: That's what they told you, right? Ah. [KNF]Ci.Ujisato.Gamo: Well? What is your version then? ]bd[Gendaito: You saw that Samura base in Tau 29. You'll see four more over here once this is all done. And you know what? Nobody will care about the name of your family. Because you're a mere pupper for them. Your military codex is just a mere 'prostitute'. Being used at their own will. [KNF]Ci.Ujisato.Gamo: I'm not fighting to be remembered. ]bd[Gendaito: For bringing the glory to a nation which has been corrupted? [KNF]Ci.Ujisato.Gamo: ie. ]bd[Gendaito: A nation which is unworthy anymore until a change comes? Sad, very sad. [KNF]Ci.Ujisato.Gamo: For that purpose you are ready to kill your own brethren... That is sad. ]bd[Gendaito: Blame the Hogosha and Samura for hiding the truth. They control the media, afterall. [KNF]Ci.Ujisato.Gamo: Truth can take many forms.. *sighs* And when people fight, truth is the first victim. ]bd[Gendaito: And you think our truth is less valid than Samura's? That truth which is ruling over Kusari now? [KNF]Ci.Ujisato.Gamo: Did i say that? ]bd[Gendaito: We wish to remove the corporate influence from the government, bring the glory back to the military forces. I think it's an honorable path. [KNF]Ci.Ujisato.Gamo: Which glory are you talking about... ]bd[Gendaito: Obviously, I guess your superiors tagged us as mere 'terrorists'. Which glory? We're patriots. [KNF]Ci.Ujisato.Gamo: Aren't you killing civilians? That's terrorism in my book. ]bd[Gendaito: Speaks the one who is forced to let the Hogosha be. [KNF]Ci.Ujisato.Gamo: There is evil in any life. They have their use after all, even if their methods are questionnable. ]bd[Gendaito: Even if it's well-known about them committing worse acts, but we're unable to prove it to the population. Well, we've been forced to do this, officer. We don't do this for pure enjoyment, it's simply the way we had to take. [KNF]Ci.Ujisato.Gamo: Did you consider you would have more partisans if you didn't take the path of blood and violence? ]bd[Gendaito: We took this way two centuries ago. Most of them ended up silenced. By.... guess who? [KNF]Ci.Ujisato.Gamo: What did you do? ]bd[Gendaito: Opposition to Samura, maybe? Isn't it what I've been talking about since we met? I told you. Samura and Hogosha have been silencing our voice. [KNF]Ci.Ujisato.Gamo: I meant... What kind of peacefull actions did you take... ]bd[Gendaito: I wasn't alive back then. But we collected proofs. Proofs of those puppetmasters. [KNF]Ci.Ujisato.Gamo: If Samura was controling everything as you claim... How do you explain Kishiro is still operating in Kusari? ]bd[Gendaito: Heh. Perhaps because they still have money to prevail? However. They hold no decision at the moment. Never did. [KNF]Ci.Ujisato.Gamo: How can you be so sure? They have their voice in the council, so i heard. ]bd[Gendaito: They do. But look, is their lobby being extended in this war? No. Only Samura's. [KNF]Ci.Ujisato.Gamo: Hmm... That may be true... But things change. I personally doubt violence is the proper way to get your voice heard, no matter what. ]bd[Gendaito: I told you twice. 'Silenced'. [KNF]Ci.Ujisato.Gamo: You were silenced, hai. Killing people is easier than convincing them. ]bd[Gendaito: Obviously, they'd not want to be removed from their position of power, right? [KNF]Ci.Ujisato.Gamo: What kind of message are you giving to people of the Empire right now? Think about it. That i don't know. Sounds doubtful indeed. But you could have your place within the Empire. To change it from the inside, if you really wish to. ]bd[Gendaito: I can't tell you either. But if population knew the truth about the balance of powers in the government, they'd change their opinion drastically. And officer. Samura won't let any change happening. [KNF]Ci.Ujisato.Gamo: They do at times. Why are Gaijins allowed to trade in Kusari, if so. ]bd[Gendaito: Unless a heavenly force obliterates your battalion here in Taus, who knows. Because it gives money to the House, maybe? Kusari can't work in an isolated economy, I'm afraid. [KNF]Ci.Ujisato.Gamo: Samura could claim they would be able to earn as much if not more, i bet. Hai. ]bd[Gendaito: I don't know what Samura could do at this moment. [KNF]Ci.Ujisato.Gamo: And so much for Kusari people moral superiority. We are not better than others. This war proves it. ]bd[Gendaito: And you'd eventually cry as soon as you realize you do what Samura told you to do. [KNF]Ci.Ujisato.Gamo: I wasn't raised to become a warrior. Following my father orders is what matters for now. ]bd[Gendaito: Then may the Bretonians 'bring' the honor to your family. [KNF]Ci.Ujisato.Gamo: I don't find anything honorable to slaughter people unable to defend themselves. However... A full scale war doesn't allow honour to be part of the balance. ]bd[Gendaito: If you aren't attached to this, then slit your own throat. [KNF]Ci.Ujisato.Gamo: Hmmm? ]bd[Gendaito: Hai, from what you say, you don't enjoy this. And you do this because your father told so, right? [KNF]Ci.Ujisato.Gamo: H...Hai... Failing to his orders would bring shame to our clan. ]bd[Gendaito: Flying under the flag of Samura already brought the shame upon your clan. Oh, let me be less accurate, Naval Forces. Else the truth might hurt. [KNF]Ci.Ujisato.Gamo: *He sighs* Well... That's your opinion. ]bd[Gendaito: Never a traitor. We were the ones betrayed. [KNF]Ci.Ujisato.Gamo: So i heard... ]bd[Gendaito: But I guess your history books claim the opposite. [KNF]Ci.Ujisato.Gamo: The offenses of the past lead to an unending circle. ]bd[Gendaito: So, officer. I guess this ended up in 'traitor' again. Which means I probably should send you back to the hospital in a pod. [KNF]Ci.Ujisato.Gamo: What did you expect... Me to change my allegiance? ]bd[Gendaito: No, but showing yourself more... lenient? I don't know anyways. [KNF]Ci.Ujisato.Gamo: I didn't ask you to betray your convictions. I merely said there were others ways to do so. ]bd[Gendaito: I'm afraid there aren't. [KNF]Ci.Ujisato.Gamo: Ah well... Konnichi-wa bretonians... ]bd[Gendaito: Now seems you have a duty to fulfill over here. 'Enjoy'
However... Soon after, a Bretonian warrior showed up and he asked me to leave the area. Since i refused, we started to fight.
Sadly, that 'Winter-san' was talented and i was forced to eject after a short while.
Thanks to our rescue patrols, i'm not rotting away in one of those Bretonian jail.
I was lucky... No major injuries, for once.
However... Ahem.... I lost my Chimaera.
