The Cruiser IKN Nagara was once a Prototype Unit of the Imperial Kusari Navy and was used by the Navy to Develop an Enhanced Type of Cruiser and some Prototype Equipment for use by Naval Forces. But these Experiments went Terribly Wrong and the Cruiser Disappeared without a trace as they Tested an Experimental Prometheum Fuled Jumpdrive that went totally Out of control. While the Ship made the Jump the Results were more than Catastrophic. The drive overheated and the Guidance System Failed Misserable, on top of that they would also Experience a Rupture in the Main Reactor and in several Containment tanks. Before the Crew Even Noticed what had happened or what they could do to stop it the whole ship was already Flooded with Deadly Radiation. A Fact that was made worse due to the Malfunction in the Automated Guidance and control system that Prevented the Emergency Shutdown of the Jumpdrive and the Ejection of the Reactor. Another side effect of this was that the ship would jump uncontrollably in a random pattern. The whole idea behind the Prometheum Jumpdrive was after all to get rid of the Cumbersome Fuel Cells that Jumpships relied upon. And so would the Ship Jump Around the Sirius Sector for years, it was sighted many times but it was always as fast gone as it had appeared. But after years of being a Literaly Ghost Ship, the Nagara would finally stop its journey as the Jumpdrive completely broke Down in the Kyushu System. The Ship would Break Down Deep in the Seiran Dust Cloud and be hidden away from all Scanners and the Usual Smuggle and Patrole Routes. The Gen´an Pilot Kiri Amaririsu would Discover the Nagara after she had to Flee Deep into the Cloud to escape a KNF Patrole as she was on the way back to the Main Gen´an Station of KKJ after a Trade Deal with the Outcasts. Eri and her Crew Discovered that the Ship was a Graveyard and that the Crew was long Dead, but that the Ship itself was still in a Good enough Condition so that the ship could be Repaired and Put to good Use for the Sisterhood to fight the patriarchy of Kusari that Oppresses so many Woman.
After a Long and Detailed Prepare Period the Gen An Sisterhood Returned to the Destroyer Nagara that was hidden deep inside of the Seiran Dust Cloud in Kyushu. They had Modified a Standard Civilian Train With Heavy Lead Shielding and some Smaller Grouse Transports as well. The Train would be Striped of its Container Section and instead Equipped with tow cables and tractor-beam projectors. The Train would be acting as a Makeshift Engine for the Destroyer and would Pull the Ship Behind it, while the Grouse Transports would act as Tug Boats and would keep the Nagara in Place and prevent it from Moving into a Direction that wasn't Wanted by the Sisterhood. Kiri was in command of the Modified Train and would Watch the Procedure from its Bridge Section. With the Blessing of the Matriarch, she felt Proud as the little Convoy moved towards the Location of the Nagara. They had a Heavy Escort of some Fighters and a couple of Bombers with them to Protect against Possible Intrusions by the Lapdogs of the Kusarian Navy. But thankfully the Litle Convoy could reach their destination without any interference by the Lapdogs.
After a Quick Scan of the Destroyer that made sure that they would not run into a trap, the Sisters would begin to Put the Towing Cables in Place and secure the Nagara to become the Property of the Sisterhood. The Radiation Levels that were emitted by the Destroyer were High but with the Modified Ships the Sisters had nothing to fear. The Towing ship with the name 自由な風 Jiyūna kaze (Free Wind) would Go into Position in front of the Nagara. The Other smaller Grouse Tug Boats would keep the ship Stable while everyone got the Destroyer Ready. After a Couple of Hours of Work, they were ready and would Set Course toward the Hokkaido Jumphole. Even though the Modified Train had some Strong Engines they would have to Tow a Massive Dead Weight and therefore they could only Move at a snail's Pace. The Sisters had also kept the Radiation Levels in Mind and had to make sure that they would not be exposed to Dangerous Levels.
After a Couple of Hours, they would reach the Jumphole to Hokkaido and would Make the Jump with the Nagara in Tow. It was a Rough Ride and the Sisters would be Bumped up and down in their seats and all of them would be Relived as they exited the Jumphole in Hokkaido. With this, they would have had the worst behind them as the Jump was the most dangerous thing that could have happened was the Jump. No one knew if the Nagara would survive the Jump as the ship could not be Controlled during it and some of the engineers had the fears that the ship might Collide with the Train at the Exit from the Jumphole. But thankfully everything went well and the Sisterhood could Continue their way to Ainu Depot After they were able to Reach the Depot the Gen´an would Secure the Destroyer so they could start the Decontamination Work as soon as they received the Necessary Equipment that they Requested to buy from the Junkers. For now, the Gen´an Sisters would Relax at Ainu and Celebrate the success of today's Operation.
After the Junker Congress Delivered a Substantial Amount of Cleaning Materials and Equipment for the Ikebana Project. Kiri was quite Excited as she would assemble a small fleet of transports from some of the best smugglers the Sisterhood had to offer. They would also use some Decoys and other forms of Distractions to keep the Lapdogs of the KNF and the KSP Occupied. The Sisters would Call this "Operation Smoke Screen" The Sisterhood would Launch an Attack against Samura Installations and Ships in the Honshu and New Tokyo System to Draw away Forces from the Kyushu System. This Diversion gave the Smugglers enough Opportunity to make it to Hokkaido and to Ainu Depot and Deliver their Precious Cargo. In the end, all of the smugglers made it to Ainu and Delivered the Cargo. But sadly the Operation wasn't a complete success. The Lapdogs could Destroy some of the Decoy Transports and some of the Fighters that Attacked Samura Ships and Installations. Thankfully the Sisterhood could Save many of their Pilots, but not all sisters were that lucky, and some of them would either Die out there in the Darkness of Space or had an even worse fate and were captured by the Lapdogs of the KNF and KSP, just to be brought into the Hellhole that was Fuchu Prison. Of course, the Sisterhood would try to Rescue them at a later time, but sadly for now these Sisters were in the Grasp of the Kusarian State Lapdogs. This was something that made Eri Pretty Sad as she Felt Responsible for the Fate of her Sisters as it was she who had found the Destroyer Nagara in the Cloud and became the one that was in charge of this Whole Operation after all.
But right now she had to concentrate on the Work that lay ahead of her and the Security of her Sisters. The Gen´an Sisterhood would begin the Work by Sending in Some Modified Robots that would do the Heavy Lifting and the Most Dangerous Work. The Attrition Rate among the Robots was pretty High and the Sisters had to deal with many Malfunctions and Defects in the Robotic Workforce. But like this, it was much more safe for them. This work took almost 2 Weeks and even then the levels were only Down enough to allow humans to help with the Fine work that was not able to be done by the Robots. The Sisters would Wear Special Space Suits that were Reinforced with Lead and other Anti Radiation Materials, but even then the Sisters had to be very careful to not get any Leaks or Breaks in the Suits. The Atmosphere was still poisoned with Radiation and there full any Leak in the Suits would be a Life-threatening event. The Suits themself had to be thoroughly decontaminated after the sisters Returned from their Work Shifts back to Ainu before they could get out of the Suit.
The whole Decontamination Process took over 2 Months before the Gen´an Sisters could continue their work without the Suits. All of the Waste and the Broken Robots were gathered in the Hazmat Containers that were delivered by Mister Tillman of the Junker Congress. All of the things he had delivered and the Tips he had Given the Gen´an were pretty valuable to them. But still, they had some Cases of Radiation poisoning and other Health Problems. But the Medicine that the Junkers had also Delivered was more than enough to treat the Affected Sisters and get them Healthy Again. But All of this was worth it as they now had the Ship fully Decontaminated and The sisters could Enter the Ship without having to fear that they would be getting a deadly Dose of Radiation.
The sisters had also given the Remains of the Crew a Naval Funeral as they would have to Shoot the Remains into the Sun. Eri would have preferred to send the Remains back to the Families but this would have broken the Operational Secrecy and the Lapdogs of the KNF and KSP would have found out that the Gen´an were in Procession of the Prototype Destroyer Nagara. Therefore they did the second best thing they could and gave them a Traditional Naval Funeral as they would show their Respect for the Enemy that had in the end brought them an Incredibly powerful tool for the Revolution against the Patriarchy.
After the Decontamination of the Destroyer Nagara The Gen´an Sisterhood would use the Modified Train and the Grouses Again to Tow the Destroyer over to the Chugoku System. But this time the Sisterhood had time to make a Structural Analysis of the Destroyer and to make sure that the ship would not break apart during the Towing. They would strengthen the structure where needed and then secure the tow cables and tractor beams on the ship again. As they had now to Traverse Open Space the sisters would start some Distractions again. But this time on a smaller Scale. They would make sure to hold up or destroy any ships that could detect the Destroyer that would be on the way to the Chugoku Jumphole. Thankfully there wasn't much Traffic in the system anyway. Since the Jump Gate to Gallia was closed after the war the Traffic in the system had almost entirely Collapsed. The only Civilian Traffic these days was to Sapporo Station which was directly at the Jumpgate. And so it was easy for them to make a daring dash through the Gap at the "Kyofu" Radiation Zone. Thankfully the Radiation there was much lower than what the Sisterhood had previously Cleaned from the ship. At this Chanche they would also Dispose of the Radioactive Waste by shooting it at the Sun and Burning it up in the Atmosphere of the Red Dwarf which could reach temperatures of up to 3,500 degrees Celsius. Once they were close enough one of the Grouse Transports would Detach from the Groupe. The remote-controlled ship would then fly Closer to the Red Dwarf and Detonate the Explosive Bolts that held its Cargo Section in Place. The cargo Section with all of the Radioactive Trash inside would then be Propelled by some External Rocket Engines towards the Red Dwarf where it would Burn Up and finally Dissolve for good.
Once they reached the Chugoku System they would then Set Course for Kyoto. The Sisters would Tow the Destroyer into the Shipyard and would then dock their ships and go through the Protocols that the Dragons had set in place to protect their home from the Lapdogs of the KSP and KNF. The Sisters that would stay on Kyoto to get Trained by the Dragons in Capital Ship Operations and those that would help with the Engineering Work would get nice Accommodation at this Floating Rock that was Turned into a Small City on the Inside. Due to the Problems that the Dragons had with Cardamine, the Sisters had to follow Strict Rules for its use on board. They were not allowed to Smoke it or to use it Openly. But the Dragons understood that they needed the Orange Flowers to stay alive, and so they allowed them to use it in less obvious ways. Eri and the other Sisters would agree to this and find this Compromise Quite Fair, after all they were Guests and they needed the Dragons so they wanted to be Diplomatic.
In Fact, Eri was pretty Excited about the things that she would learn while she was on Kyoto. For now, she was the Chosen Commander for the Destroyer, but she would still need to prove herself. Only when the Repairs and Refurbishment of the Destroyer were complete the Matriarch would make her Final Judgement on who would get the Final command over this Remarkable Ship. For now, the Sisters would get comfortable in their new Temporary home for a while. Tomorrow the Real Hard work would begin and the Sisters would have to see what kind of Damage the Systems of the Destroyer have taken and what they would need to Repair it. Eri herself would Join the Team of Blood Dragon Hackers that would decrypt the Data Vault of the Ship and this would Hopefully shine more Light onto the Things that happened with the Ship and lead to it falling into the hands of the Crysantemums in the end.
