>>>Incoming Transmission: ShoSho - Takahashi, Mikako
>>>Time: Week 63, 817 A.S
After being re-assigned to Kusari core space, patrols have been relatively peaceful; except for a few traders who were ignorant of the law: until enlightened. Returning home was a heady experience and in the bustle of it all I neglected to sign my Chimera in for regular maintenance.
I arrived late to a recent outcast incursion including: Huanita.Muchaches (whom the Emperors actual flagship destroyed!) and [XTF]Zaza[R] *. I proved ineffective as I struggled to maintain my ship: re-routing and balancing failing systems whilst battling with defiant flight controls. Luckily Daii Nakamura, Chûsa Kokori and Emperor Kogen himself easily defeated the enemy force. Still: my failure was devastating, and became terribly apparent during the recent dragon attacks.
Their attack was preceded by a misguided criminal named 'Halloween' causing trouble in New Tokyo *. After a hectic system sweep including Shōi Rika, Daii Nakamura, Chûsa Kokori and Chūjō Kitao he was located near the Hokkaido gate. Chūjō Hajime Kitao annihilated the threat in the blink of an eye and led the wing to Kyushu where we happened upon the dragons: WK|Kiyomi{W} , WK|Ujihiro{GL} , WK|tadashi{G} split and attacked a single target each, our forces retaliated with Rika, Kitao and Nakamura whilst the Chûsa and I waited for the moment when the balance would shift. After a while the tactic changed and our forces concentrated on Tadashi, who was the first to jump ship at the hands of Rika. The dragon backup arrived in the form of a gunboat - WK|Kamaitachi which brought Kokori and I into the fight. Against the power of 5 Chimaeras the Kamaitachi was soon destroyed, and prompted the dragons to call in more backup in the form of a Katanas. ]bd[-Ryuu.Noboru and ]bd[Kaga.Takanami joined up with the WK| pilots and the battle drifted across the system, Takanamis' ship was soon debris under the fire Chūjō Kitao. The cumulative damage to my ship had made it a perilous environment: I was forced to leave the fight and make an emergency landing at Kyushu where they are patching her up sufficiently for me to limp back to base. I found it noteworthy that Rika fought hard despite massive damage to her vessel. I left the scene aware of additional mercenaries in the area offering their services, and was confident that the dragons would suffer. >>>Transmission Ends.
