July 20, 826 A.S. Honshu system "Misaki for ONCE can you focus on the-" Chika was cut off by the screaming of the captain. A smirk crossed her lips. "Sore! What's your name dog?""T-takashi!!" the Hercules responded. "Jaa, Takashi-san, listen to my instructions because I'm only giving them once. You're going to cut off any tracking devices on your ship, severe any connections to your superiors, shut down your guns, and follow us. Wakaru?.""Hai!""Misaki, ico." she commanded. Chika's Blossom took point, leading the trio towards the Hiyo Cloud.

Kiku smilled, pulling out a small piece of paper. "Do not worry, I will try to find out everything that's needed. For that however, I will have to see the place of future shrine. It's hard to make a list of needed stuff if I don't know how large it's going to be, how many rooms it will have. Do you know what I am talking about uh? I haven't done this stuff before." Kiku said, looking around carefully.
July 15, 826 A.S., Morioka Aya looked back at the schematics. "Kinkaku-ji is as of yet not under construction, however, when the ground work has been laid I will make sure you get a tour through the complex." She looked at Kiku. "When will it suit you that I visit your shrine on Ainu?"

Kiku looked back at Aya, thinking for a second if her schedule allowed a quick visit. "Next week should be alright and less tense than it's these days. I am quite a busy person so to say, but next week Ibwill make sure I've got time for you, Lady." Kiku said and raised her finger. "if my schedule however allows it, I will contact you as soon as possible. Is it okay?"
July 15, 826 A.S., Morioka The Matriarch smiled. "That will be fine. I see you are a very busy woman, Kiku-san. I did not expect the priestess life needing a schedule. What does it all consist of?" She sat down behind the table and rolled up the schematics.

Kiku was thinking for a second, staring at ceiling. "My schedule consists of many things. Rituals, readings, being a psychologists, somebody you can tell your secrets to, if you want to relieve your stress by sharing some troublesome encounters with me, making sure spirits are on our side. People need it and I am here for them. It just happens now and then that I am quite busy. Not so often however." Kiku said and for a brief moment closed her eyes. "If I were just a priestess, I wouldn't have such a tight schedule. You need to sacrifice much more for a greater good. And I sacrifice my time for others, their smiles and happiness is also mine." Kiku opened her eyes. "Arigatou, however I will have to decline your offer for now."
July 15, 826 A.S., Morioka "Sounds like an honorable task you took upon yourself. Make sure to contact me when I can support you in this endeavour. The welfare of the Sisterhood is a great good and people like you, who dedicate themselves to this cause are valueble." Aya stood up and straightened her kimono. "I must prepare logistics regarding the construction of Kinkaku-ji. I am sorry that I have to ask you to excuse me for now. I shall await your message to visit your shrine."
August 29, 826 A.S. Kinkaku-ji
Chika's room was dark. She lied on her bed, her cat resting on her chest, gently stroking it. She was contemplating recent developments on the station. Research was completed, construction was almost complete, supply ships moving in and out at will. Everything was going according to plan.
Chika's phone rang. She stared at the source of light coming from her nightstand. Why would somebody call at this hour? She debated leaving it alone before deciding that it must be important. "Mos-" The person on the other end screamed before she could finish her sentence. "Watanabe-san, outside!""Eh? Chotto...what's going on?" She opened the window's blinders. Outside she could see her worst fear, a Naval fighter buzzing around the base. The caller continued. "Our guns are online, should we send out the fighters?""Iie, let him go. He already has the word out. We can deal with him later. " Chika hung up, continuing to stare at the fighter. After a few seconds she bolted for the door, running full speed down the hallway while screaming. "Kiri-samaaaaa!"
August 29, 826 A.S., Morioka Shortly after commander Watanabe summoned the Matriarch, they arranged an emergency meeting after the naval forces discovered Kinkaku-ji. The Matriarch, Yume, Chika, and several prominent Lieutenants sat around the table discussing their next move.
"With the Navy discovering Kinkaku-ji, it wont be long until they bring their heavy attilery. We already sent a transmission to our allies informing them of the impending attack and we declared an emergency protocol." Kiri looked around the room. "However, We will not only ward of the incoming attack. The Gen'an Chrysanthemum Sisterhood has identified several high profile targets. Once we secured Shikoku, we will retaliate."
