A camera feed opens onto a dark, concrete room - lit only by the stray beam of light shining through the small glass port out from the Shiden Cloud. Resting in it's centre was a table, with a basic, clay teapot. In the corner was the silhouette of folded clothing.
An aging Kusarian woman walks slowly into view carrying a laden Satchel under her scared arm. Limping over to the table as she untethers the fastens. Lifting up the flap, a slight purple glows illuminates the leather and the worn eyes that peer down with wondrous curiosity. Hesitating momentarily, a hand takes hold of the orb and places it on the table; next to which the woman kneels down beside. The room swirls in a phantasmagoria of blues and purples which grow stronger as the lights are dimmed. Bewilderment spread across the Kusarian's expression as she began to speak aloud.
"Such majesty... why is beauty held in the most dangerous of things? Is it danger that cultivates the beauty... or is it some infernal ploy to bewitch those into service of beauty..." Suddenly the woman shrieks and stands up, retreating to a corner. Visions of Shoguns and Empress' on strings burn across her retina... strings held by the hands of Spirits. The same visions that have haunted her for months, that plague her sleeping moments and invade her waking thoughts. "Kuso Hana... what are you doing..." Shaking her head, gathering her wits as she comes back to reality, she kneels once again and hurriedly slides open a draw.
Peering inside, she regards the containers of purple liquid with a lustful eye. The same liquid that brought her the echoing vision. "Would it bring me closer to the answers I seek?" Several long moments pass before she looks up at the orb, startled. The...texture... of her thoughts felt weird. Foreign even, as if it was someone else's mind that spoke them. She slides the draw closed once more. Peering into the sphere, she contemplates her position. "What is this thing...?"
She had to wrench her attention away, her eyes growing sore from staring. Nursing them with a rub from the back of her hand, she swore as she registered the time. "I shall find out more about this item, and those that gave it to me. It holds great power... if only..." Rubbing her temple, she shakes her head again. "Careful, lest you loose your soul once more." Opening the satchel, she stashed the orb back into it and closed it. Looking around the room suspiciously, she limps away and the camera feed as a hand smothers it.
[15.02.2016 20:13:21] Kuzunoha|Aoi: ?: This is Naval Forces Patrol Kiku-12. Identify yourself.
[15.02.2016 20:13:51] Hana,Ken: *raises her eyebrow and crosses her arms* ...hai...
[15.02.2016 20:14:36] Hana,Ken: Ken-san... a wandering seeker. *smiles softly*
[15.02.2016 20:14:53] Hana,Ken: Yourself, pilot-sama?
[15.02.2016 20:15:52] Kuzunoha|Aoi: ?: A Naval Forces Officer. Someone, who will have to enforce the quarantine area.
[15.02.2016 20:16:14] Kuzunoha|Aoi: ?: You are under suspicion of being part of an infected group running amock in the area.
[15.02.2016 20:16:37] Hana,Ken: *frowns slightly* an infected group? I am unsure what you mean?
[15.02.2016 20:16:45] Kuzunoha|Aoi: ?: Disable your weaponry, cut your engines and prepare for personnel transfer. Tohoku is off-limits to outsiders.
[15.02.2016 20:17:22] Hana,Ken: *scratches her neck, watching them intently*... very well. *touches the console then puts her hands behind her head*
[15.02.2016 20:18:11] Kuzunoha|Aoi: ?: You are to explain your presence in this area, with every single detail.
[15.02.2016 20:19:33] Hana,Ken: *raises an eyebrow* The Republic need explain every action it takes, mmh?
[15.02.2016 20:19:56] Kuzunoha|Aoi: ?: Answer the questions to ensure your mental stability before boarding.
[15.02.2016 20:20:38] Hana,Ken: That is a curious thing to say... *stern expression* Mental Stability?
[15.02.2016 20:21:17] Kuzunoha|Aoi: ?: Beating around the bush is a sign of ill intent. You have one, last chance.
[15.02.2016 20:21:33] Hana,Ken: Ok... ok... *puts her hands up*
[15.02.2016 20:22:25] Kuzunoha|Aoi: ?: Explain your presence in this system. I am waiting.
[15.02.2016 20:22:52] Hana,Ken: I was seeking somekind of knowledge... I... keep having dreams of this rock. I do not know why... whenever I pass...
[15.02.2016 20:23:16] Hana,Ken: *she looks stressed, her hands itching towards her neck* I can't help but come to gaze upon it.
[15.02.2016 20:23:26] Hana,Ken: Call it... ur... compulsion, if you will...
[15.02.2016 20:24:06] Kuzunoha|Aoi: ?: What is the cause of this... compulsion?
[15.02.2016 20:24:34] Hana,Ken: *looks at the pilot, a scared look in her eyes* ...
[15.02.2016 20:25:22] Kuzunoha|Aoi: *The pilot's face is shrouded and unidentifiable.*
[15.02.2016 20:25:43] Kuzunoha|Aoi: ?: I am waiting.
[15.02.2016 20:26:53] Hana,Ken: *she holds a hand, then slowly moves it down to the side of her side* T...the...*breathes heavily*... the Lights... -
[15.02.2016 20:27:45] Hana,Ken: *pulls up an Artefact* ... they... won't get out of my... head...
[15.02.2016 20:28:05] Kuzunoha|Aoi: ?: We see..
[15.02.2016 20:28:29] Hana,Ken: *looks scared at the pilot, eyeing him discerningly*
[15.02.2016 20:28:59] Kuzunoha|Aoi: *The cold, methodical questioning of the officer only makes the situation more.. unnatural.*
[15.02.2016 20:29:09] Kuzunoha|Aoi: ?: Where did you receive this object?
[15.02.2016 20:30:27] Hana,Ken: I...it... it matters not... *her expression growing stern as she scratches her neck*
[15.02.2016 20:31:16] Kuzunoha|Aoi: ?: Did you follow the.. "voices", on your own will?
[15.02.2016 20:32:03] Hana,Ken: *taking a few moments to study the pilot carefully, her eyes dilate with recognition. She nods slowly*
[15.02.2016 20:32:53] Kuzunoha|Aoi: ?: The last question I will ask: Do you wish to learn more of what it speaks?
[15.02.2016 20:33:48] Hana,Ken: *her eyes grow narrow*... you are... trying to... trick me, Navy-san?
[15.02.2016 20:34:54] Kuzunoha|Aoi: *An unnatural, calm voice echoes the pilot's as she repeats the question* Do you -wish- to learn?
[15.02.2016 20:35:25] Hana,Ken: *she stares at him, a little startled. A moment later, she nods once* Hai.
[15.02.2016 20:36:20] Kuzunoha|Aoi: *the duo of voices speak once more* ?: Stay.
[15.02.2016 20:36:38] Hana,Ken: *bows her head, turning off thrusters*
[15.02.2016 20:38:22] Kuzunoha|Aoi: *with short pauses* ?: Accept.. this 'gift'. Listen to what it speaks. Unite it, with it's brother. A path will open.
[15.02.2016 20:39:05] Kuzunoha|Aoi: ?: And the symphony shall change in accordance.
[15.02.2016 20:39:34] Hana,Ken: *raises an eyebrow, then bows her head* Hai....hai! *she studies it with a glow in her eyes* ... what... what is it?
[15.02.2016 20:40:16] Kuzunoha|Aoi: *The duo of voices stop* ?: Do not expose it's existence to anyone. It is a beacon. A key. Listen.
[15.02.2016 20:40:31] Kuzunoha|Aoi: ?: The voices will be clearer. You will gain new insight.
[15.02.2016 20:41:19] Kuzunoha|Aoi: ?: A clearer way of the Light will be shown.
[15.02.2016 20:41:32] Kuzunoha|Aoi: ?: Now, leave.
[15.02.2016 20:41:48] Hana,Ken: *looks at the pilot, bewildered* A beacon? Insight? *scratches her neck* Who is it's Brother?... hai!
[15.02.2016 20:43:25] Kuzunoha|Aoi: ?: I would not insist on staying, 'seeker'.
[15.02.2016 20:43:33] Hana,Ken: *bows her head deeply*
[15.02.2016 20:44:03] Kuzunoha|Aoi: ?: It's existence shall not be exposed.
Sitting back in the uncomfortable seats that adorned the bridge of the Battleship Sado, Security Officer Toba Nakawaru frowned as orders came in from his Commanding Officer. Holding up a hand onto the earpiece (his own earpiece, Kishiro Model, his 'Pride and Joy'), he nodded silently as he brought up a screen. Leaning forward intently, he stared at the footage.
Within the footage of Cell ni-ichi, the prisoner was looking worse for wear despite her medical care. A broken arm in a roughly tied sling, tears across her flight jacket and clothing... not to mention the obvious shock - she was pale as snow. Despite her predicament, she was busy in conversation with a man sitting across from her. Clad in the uniform of a Naval Captain, he was wearing his characteristic smile - the kind he always wore when dealing with his enemies. It gave Nakawaru the chills.
"Officer, report!" Toba bolted upright. "Commander Ishikawa Hidaeki is currently interrogating the prisoner, sir... and he is clearly enjoying it." Moments passed, and in the silence that followed Nakawaru concluded that no response meant no problem. He narrowed his eyes as Hidaeki held up some kind of mask. Was he baiting her? With what? Wait... he is leaving? Sighing, he kept the feed running. Afterall, it was his job to ensure the prisoner's security. Nakawaru grinned.
Hana closed her eyes, turning her head away from the leaving Commander. Moving her head made her feel dizzy, the combination of adrenaline and shock coming together to defy her senses. Pushing the chair further away from the centre of the cell, she knelt down on the floor and begun to control her breathing. Slowly, but inevitably, the haunting echoes of her visions came to her. She smiled softly.
[17.02.2016 19:26:17] Hana'Ken: *raises an eyebrow*
[17.02.2016 19:27:56] Hana'Ken: Kon'banwa *bows her head*
[17.02.2016 19:28:09] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: Konbanwa. Please cut your engines.
[17.02.2016 19:28:23] Hana'Ken: *sighs, and cuts the engines after coming to a stop*
[17.02.2016 19:28:40] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: Hm.
[17.02.2016 19:28:58] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: What are you doing here. Don't you know this system is off limit?
[17.02.2016 19:29:27] Hana'Ken: May I help you, Sakamo - oh, it is off limits? *scratches her neck* Iie, this was not something I knew.
[17.02.2016 19:30:17] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: You should read again Kusari laws then, miss.
[17.02.2016 19:30:33] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: You are subject to be shot on sight by venturing in Tohoku system.
[17.02.2016 19:31:02] Hana'Ken: Iie, sumimasen... *eyes widen* Pl...please don't kill me. *holds her hands up from the stick*
[17.02.2016 19:32:17] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: Hm..
[17.02.2016 19:33:16] Hana'Ken: *looks at him carefully, putting her hands behind her head* Please.
[17.02.2016 19:33:42] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: Where do you come from?
[17.02.2016 19:34:24] Hana'Ken: *startled, caught off guard* Where do I... Oh, Honshu, Sakamoto-san.
[17.02.2016 19:35:35] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: Planet Honshu is your last takeoff?
[17.02.2016 19:35:42] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: Honshu system is far away.
[17.02.2016 19:36:30] Hana'Ken: Hai, the Tsutsuji fields are beautiful near the main starport.
[17.02.2016 19:37:07] Hana'Ken: Especially this time of year *lowering her hands sowly* Where are you from, Sakamoto-san?
[17.02.2016 19:37:57] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: I'm from Kusari. How did you end up in Tohoku system. You have been flying in Nampo field.
[17.02.2016 19:38:21] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: It is haunted by Blood Dragons.
[17.02.2016 19:39:28] Hana'Ken: *little frown* Ah, sodesuka. The Dragons make good prey, Sakamoto-san... I was pursuing one, which led me, ur...
[17.02.2016 19:39:33] Hana'Ken: *gestures around* here.
[17.02.2016 19:40:11] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: You are collecting bounties?
[17.02.2016 19:40:21] Hana'Ken: *nods her head slowly* Hai.
[17.02.2016 19:41:14] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: You do not appear to be registered to our bounty board.
[17.02.2016 19:42:13] Hana'Ken: That would be correct, Sakamoto-san. *scratches her neck* I am not.
[17.02.2016 19:42:49] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: Please move to D6.
[17.02.2016 19:43:11] Hana'Ken: D6? Why? *suddenly looking guarded*
[17.02.2016 19:43:51] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: I have some difficulty to imagine someone collecting bounties in Kusari and not aware of Kusari laws.
[17.02.2016 19:44:17] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: Please move to Battelship Sado so that your identity can be confirmed.
[17.02.2016 19:44:35] Hana'Ken: *frowns a little* ...hai...ok...
[17.02.2016 19:45:14] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: Hopefully, you are just a lost civilian.
[17.02.2016 19:45:30] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: This is a mistake to come here alone.
[17.02.2016 19:45:45] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: This area is restricted for a reason.
[17.02.2016 19:45:56] Hana'Ken: *looks around her scared* Hai... and - how so?
[17.02.2016 19:46:12] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: As I said. It's dangerous.
[17.02.2016 19:46:17] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: Too dangerous for civilians.
[17.02.2016 19:46:32] Hana'Ken: What is there to make this place dangerous? *frowning in thought*
[17.02.2016 19:46:52] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: I do not have the liberty to tell you, unfortunately.
[17.02.2016 19:47:31] Hana'Ken: *frowns, crossing her arms with a terrified expression* ...ok...
[17.02.2016 19:48:09] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: I suppose it will be easy enough to find out if you belong to the Chrysanthenum.
[17.02.2016 19:48:41] Hana'Ken: *looks at him* It is good news I am not then.
[17.02.2016 19:49:35] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: Indeed. They lure young women with activism and a cause to fight for, only to enslave them using a drug.
[17.02.2016 19:50:05] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: To the point new recruits cannot reintegrate society back.
[17.02.2016 19:50:22] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: It's quite despicable.
[17.02.2016 19:50:50] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: At least Blood Dragons follow an honor code.
[17.02.2016 19:51:02] Hana'Ken: Enslave them? *scratches her neck, mulling over his words for a moment* Rumour has it they take it to sharpen -
[17.02.2016 19:51:06] If you find your ship in Bastille please check the Sanction sub-forum on Discoverygc.com.
[17.02.2016 19:51:20] Hana'Ken: reflexes... or something. Like those 'Casts.
[17.02.2016 19:52:04] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: Perhaps it does for a very small amount of them. But Chrysanthenum or Outcasts hardly have an edge in combat.
[17.02.2016 19:52:15] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: So I wouldn't trust those rumors too much.
[17.02.2016 19:52:33] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: Besides, by taking this drug, women appear to lose the ability to procreate.
[17.02.2016 19:53:35] Hana'Ken: To procreate? A terribly sacrifice *eyes him carefully* Rumours have the knack to exagerate, afterall.
[17.02.2016 19:54:13] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: The worst about all this is Chrysanthenum are not helping the cause they pretend to serve. They harm it more than anything.
[17.02.2016 19:54:34] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: Changing women conditions in Kusari cannot be done using terrorism as a mean.
[17.02.2016 21:10:38] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: Regardless, Chrysanthenum shouldn't be truster.
[17.02.2016 21:10:41] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: Trusted.
[17.02.2016 21:11:00] Hana'Ken: *still with her hands behind her head, she nods slowly - a scared look in her eye* ...noted...
[17.02.2016 21:12:02] Hana'Ken: So, ur... may I leave soon Sakamoto-san?
[17.02.2016 21:12:44] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: You will have to dock to Sado where you will be examined and asked a few questions.
[17.02.2016 21:13:22] Hana'Ken: *frowns* ... this is a little extreme, iie?
[17.02.2016 21:14:23] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: As I said, patrols are authorized to open fire on all the ships that are found in this area.
[17.02.2016 21:15:18] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: Violating a restricted area is not a trivial thing, miss.
[17.02.2016 21:15:23] Hana'Ken: *sighs* ... hai, understood... *she presses a few console commands, and the ship begins to dock*
[17.02.2016 21:17:45] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: *A team of Marines is waiting on Sado docks*
[17.02.2016 21:17:54] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: Marine Sarg : That's the ship. Spread out.
[17.02.2016 21:18:08] Hana'Ken: *the ship docks, and she exits the cockpit. Seeing the Marines, she places her arms on the floor next to her and kneels -
[17.02.2016 21:18:15] Hana'Ken: with her hands on her head*
[17.02.2016 21:19:25] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: *Two marines make her raise and palpate her to look for weapons*
[17.02.2016 21:20:04] Hana'Ken: *they would find no extra than the sidearm she had placed on the ground* Try not to tickle.
[17.02.2016 21:20:25] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: Marine Sarg : Tell the technicians they can come to inspect the ship. Madam, you are under arrest.
[17.02.2016 21:20:50] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: *One Marine moves her arms in her back and cuff her*
[17.02.2016 21:21:04] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: Marine Sarg : We're going to the cells.
[17.02.2016 21:21:52] Hana'Ken: Wa...wait! Please... don't do this, I was only passing through the system. *terrified expression on her face*
[17.02.2016 21:22:17] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: Marine B : Silence!
[17.02.2016 21:22:38] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: Marine Sarg : You will stay in a cell until you can be interrogated.
[17.02.2016 21:23:08] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: *The Marine Sarg raises an eyebrow, studying her* Nobody is going to hurt you for now. It's just a security measure.
[17.02.2016 21:24:40] Hana'Ken: *she smoothed her hair, her hands shaking with nerves. She looked at him discerningly* ... ve...very well.
[17.02.2016 21:25:27] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: Marine Sarg : Let's move. *The team is bringing the team to the security cells quarters.
[17.02.2016 21:26:32] Hana'Ken: *As they walked, she looked around her taking in the scene and the route. She would flinch if any were to touch her*
[17.02.2016 21:27:44] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: *They arrive in the security quarters and the marines open a cell before untying her*
[17.02.2016 21:27:51] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: Marine A : Step in.
[17.02.2016 21:28:43] Hana'Ken: *she hesitates, before reluctantly taking a step in and turning to face them* ...this is injustice...
[17.02.2016 21:29:34] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: *The Marines ignore her and close the cell. It's an empty cell with only a bed*
[17.02.2016 21:29:34] BD|Mt.Warusawa: ?: Battleship Sado in range, all gunnery crew to alert status.
[17.02.2016 21:30:10] Hana'Ken: *she looks around the cell, letting out a sigh. Kneeling down in the middle of the room facing the door, she -
[17.02.2016 21:30:13] Hana'Ken: closes her eyes*
[17.02.2016 21:30:21] BD|Mt.Warusawa: ?: Battleship Sado of the Kusarian naval forces, this the the Blood Dragon primary warship Warusawa.
[17.02.2016 21:30:45] BD|Mt.Warusawa: ?: Respond or we will be forced to wake up your crew by force.
[17.02.2016 21:30:57] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: Battleship Sado : This is Battleship Sado, we have you on our scope, identify yourself.
[17.02.2016 21:31:31] BD|Mt.Warusawa: ?: Idenification is clear, however sending, Blood Dragon front line battleship Warusawa....

[17.02.2016 21:32:38] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: Battleship Sado : Strike wings will be launched immediately.
[17.02.2016 21:32:44] Hana'Ken: *slowing her breathe to a steady rythym, Hana kept her eyes closed and clasping her hands together in her lap*
[17.02.2016 21:33:29] BD|Mt.Warusawa: ?: As you wish Sado, if you plan to attack, then retaillation will be met. All gunners, focus fire on the Sado's

[17.02.2016 21:34:58] Hana'Ken: *Hana does not move, only opening her eyes to look at them*
[17.02.2016 21:35:19] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: Marine A : Get up. You will follow us.
[17.02.2016 21:36:26] Hana'Ken: *she narrows her eyes at them,before standing up to follow*
[17.02.2016 21:36:52] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: *The prisonner is sent to an interrogation room where two officers are waiting*

[17.02.2016 21:50:02] BD|Mt.Warusawa: Steel: Thats a negitive May, priority change, get her out of there, continue fire on the Sado.
[17.02.2016 21:50:12] Hana'Ken: seems extreme, Officers.
[17.02.2016 21:50:40] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Hm. Konnichiwa. Please have a seat.
[17.02.2016 21:51:04] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: Battleship Sado : They don't stand a chance against our shields!
[17.02.2016 21:51:05] BD|May.Ling: Hana, you'd probably be better off a bit further from that ship.
[17.02.2016 21:51:30] Hana'Ken: *she scratches her neck, bowing her neck slightly* Kon'banwa... *she takes a seat* This seems a bit extreme.
[17.02.2016 21:51:43] Hana'Ken: *static from the deactivated commlink*

[17.02.2016 21:52:35] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: Marine Sarg : He found it necessary to have her interrogated.
[17.02.2016 21:53:00] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: *coughs*
[17.02.2016 21:53:00] BD|May.Ling: Wouldn't rather trigger the home flet yet.
[17.02.2016 21:53:04] Hana'Ken: *holds onto the table as the ship rocks from the incoming fire. She frowns ad crosses her arms, looking at the table*
[17.02.2016 21:53:20] BD|Mt.Warusawa: Steel: I want to see...can they defend three fronts...?
[17.02.2016 21:53:31] BD|May.Ling: Ah and wouldn't it be the brave one Ishikawa.
[17.02.2016 21:53:33] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Hm. Where is the admiral Sakamoto then? He just dumped her here?
[17.02.2016 21:53:44] BD|Mt.Warusawa: *The crew goes quiet*
[17.02.2016 21:53:56] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: Marine Sarg : I do not know about Admiral Sakamoto whereabouts.
[17.02.2016 21:54:24] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: Marine Sarg : Do you want me to inform about his location?
[17.02.2016 21:54:50] Hana'Ken: *She grips onto the table as the Sato takes fire*
[17.02.2016 21:55:13] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: I was just curious. Go and ask him if he needs the prisoner later...
[17.02.2016 21:55:18] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: Marine Sarg : Come on, girl. It didn't shake that hard.
[17.02.2016 21:55:30] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: Marine Sarg : Yes sir!
[17.02.2016 21:55:55] Hana'Ken: *looks at the Marine*... try not to blame one for being a little jumpy. *frowning at him*
[17.02.2016 21:56:52] BD|May.Ling: Well I doubt you'll be getting to walk out of this this time..
[17.02.2016 21:57:13] BD|Mt.Warusawa: huh?
[17.02.2016 21:57:14] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Anyway. Civilian? Welcome to the Sado. Do you have any idea why you've been captured?
[17.02.2016 21:58:08] Hana'Ken: *she continues to look at him, trying to hide her nerves* This area of space was supposedly restricted...
[17.02.2016 21:58:26] BD|May.Ling: Of course it is.
[17.02.2016 21:58:37] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Well.

[17.02.2016 21:59:00] BD|May.Ling: You'll just stand and watch?
[17.02.2016 21:59:08] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: The Sado will tear you to shreds.
[17.02.2016 21:59:30] BD|Shana.Nesho'en.: Well whatever you might think I dont see it doing a well enough job at "tearing us to shreads".
[17.02.2016 21:59:48] Hana'Ken: Though... by the sounds of it... *listening to the fire* Seems it is not as restricted as you would like, iie?
[17.02.2016 21:59:54] BD|Mt.Warusawa: Steel: She's not moving. If its like any usual warship we've faced, she'll melt with enough firepower or flee before hand.
[17.02.2016 22:00:00] BD|May.Ling: Maybe it can be a nuisiance for the bigger vessels.. But to me that's just a pimpmle in the face of Tohoku.
[17.02.2016 22:00:59] BD|Mt.Warusawa: Steel: Send a comm response, get the Kongo out here, now!.
[17.02.2016 22:01:24] BD|May.Ling: So, brave Ishikawa, are you just going to stand and watch.. or are your batteries low?
[17.02.2016 22:01:37] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: Nice taunting.
[17.02.2016 22:01:42] BD|Mt.Warusawa: Steel: Don't am on the smaller crafts, keep fire on the warship alone.
[17.02.2016 22:01:42] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Hm.
[17.02.2016 22:01:48] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: I thought you would be scared.
[17.02.2016 22:01:53] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: I mean, have you won a fight yet?
[17.02.2016 22:02:10] Hana'Ken: *glances at the door as the Sato rocks*
[17.02.2016 22:02:16] BD|May.Ling: Ahh.. yees.
[17.02.2016 22:02:23] BD|May.Ling: Well let's have a deal what do you think?
[17.02.2016 22:02:38] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: What kind of deal?
[17.02.2016 22:03:16] BD|May.Ling: How about me and you sort this out with one another. Just me and you. A couple of kilos from here, hm?
[17.02.2016 22:03:27] Hana'Ken: *looks at the interogators, seeing if they are distracted*
[17.02.2016 22:03:32] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: Looks like you have a ticket.
[17.02.2016 22:03:40] BD|May.Ling: Ha..
[17.02.2016 22:03:56] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: I don't think that would work.
[17.02.2016 22:04:04] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: There are two other dragons to be dealt with as well.
[17.02.2016 22:04:35] BD|May.Ling: Well you wanna deal with me first? Or all of us at the same time?
[17.02.2016 22:04:42] BD|May.Ling: Your choice..
[17.02.2016 22:05:01] BD|Mt.Warusawa: ...
[17.02.2016 22:05:20] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: I believe we should deal with them without delay.
[17.02.2016 22:05:30] BD|Mt.Warusawa: ?: *Another female voice* Ping confirmed, I see you. Target the engines, if this is a battleship, its shield
[17.02.2016 22:05:33] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: I guess so.
[17.02.2016 22:05:39] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: We need space cleaned for strike wings to deal with Warusawa.
[17.02.2016 22:05:42] BD|May.Ling: So be it then.
[17.02.2016 22:05:44] BD|Mt.Warusawa: will center piece on its exposre point.

[17.02.2016 22:05:58] BD|Shana.Nesho'en.: Good.. some blood to be spilled under the banner.
[17.02.2016 22:06:03] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: They may be here for the prisonner.
[17.02.2016 22:06:11] [KNF]Ka.Ryoma.Sakamoto: I start to suspect some ties.
[17.02.2016 22:06:14] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: We shall destroy the insulting Ling-san firrst.

[17.02.2016 22:25:34] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: *As she crawls along she gets an elbow from one of the guards into her chest*
[17.02.2016 22:26:22] Kes'Reena: **..'ours' ~spectate/learning~ 'human-kin' (curious) | 'ours' (wonder) why 'Red Lizards' ~combat/engage~ 'Land Protectors..**
[17.02.2016 22:26:23] Order|Atlas-1: Whatever you're doing Dragons, do it fast. We've got two Nomads and entire set of KNF that I do not doubt will pursue.
[17.02.2016 22:26:46] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: They are far too damaged to continue their assault!
[17.02.2016 22:26:46] Hana'Ken: *Hana cries in pain as she lets go of the railing. The Cargo bay doors burst open, venting the flightdeck.- *
[17.02.2016 22:27:11] Ren.Ishiyama: Two nomads? Which one is the other?
[17.02.2016 22:27:13] BD|Mt.Warusawa: ?: Thats it, bay doors open. Kongo, disegage, I repeat, disengage.
[17.02.2016 22:27:15] BD|Mount.Kongo: ?: The cargobay is venting!
[17.02.2016 22:27:28] Hana'Ken: *Hana flies several metres before her dislocated arm gets lodged in a railing. She holds her breath -
[17.02.2016 22:27:31] Hana'Ken: trying not to scream*
[17.02.2016 22:27:34] Ren.Ishiyama: Is it this fellow?
[17.02.2016 22:28:09] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: *All of the personnel in the bay simply tries to get through a hatch into a safe compartment of the ship.*
[17.02.2016 22:28:22] Kes'Reena: **..'yours' metal husks are -massive/enormous- (curious)..**
[17.02.2016 22:28:22] BD|Mount.Kongo: ?: Damage report?
[17.02.2016 22:28:43] BD|Mt.Warusawa: ?: Medium on scale, but we'll deal with it later.
[17.02.2016 22:28:54] Order|Genesis: Better stay clear, Nomad.
[17.02.2016 22:29:17] BD|Mt.Warusawa: ?: Kongo, RTB for recall.
[17.02.2016 22:29:21] Kes'Reena: **..'ours' are -harmless (confused)..**
[17.02.2016 22:29:28] Hana'Ken: *With her spare hand, Hana grips the railing tightly, her legs dangling towards the empty vacuum*
[17.02.2016 22:29:36] [KNF]KDS-Shirayuki: Dragons are leaving.
[17.02.2016 22:29:38] [KNF]KDS-Shirayuki: Orders?
[17.02.2016 22:29:39] Order|Atlas-1: Join escort with the Dragons. We don't have firepower to take on all of that here anyway.
[17.02.2016 22:29:48] Order|Genesis: Confirmed.
[17.02.2016 22:29:50] BD|Mount.Kongo: ?: Copy... plotting course...
[17.02.2016 22:29:57] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Do not pursue.
[17.02.2016 22:30:02] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: We have a battleship to fix up.
[17.02.2016 22:30:04] [KNF]KDS-Shirayuki: Understood.
[17.02.2016 22:30:06] Kes'Reena: **..'ours' ~sence~ 'shadow-walkers' (caution)..**
[17.02.2016 22:30:09] BD|Mt.Warusawa: ?: Warusawa RTBing.
[17.02.2016 22:30:11] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Look for any survivors.
[17.02.2016 22:30:13] [KNF]KDS-Shirayuki: Setting up defence perimeter.
[17.02.2016 22:30:25] Hana'Ken: *Seeing the Dragons leave, several tears run down her face*
[17.02.2016 22:30:29] Order|Genesis: Seems like we have a follower.
[17.02.2016 22:30:36] Order|Genesis: I will take care of that.
[17.02.2016 22:30:41] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: We have contacts remaining.
[17.02.2016 22:30:47] Order|Genesis: Get lost already.
[17.02.2016 22:31:05] Order|Atlas-1: This Nomad will not get a hint. Destroy it.
[17.02.2016 22:31:09] Hana'Ken: *Hana and any remaining marines in the hold would pass out*
[17.02.2016 22:31:22] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: What? A Rheinlander?
[17.02.2016 22:31:30] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: You have some explaining to do.
[17.02.2016 22:31:37] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: The civilian as well.
[17.02.2016 22:31:37] Eiszeit: can i help you with something?
[17.02.2016 22:31:55] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: This system is off limits for anyone not authorized by the Naval Forces.
[17.02.2016 22:31:58] Ren.Ishiyama: Tourist von Kyushu?
[17.02.2016 22:32:00] KNI|Karasu.no.Kage-II: We are the ones with questions, rheinland agent?
[17.02.2016 22:32:09] KNI|Karasu.no.Kage-II: *.
[17.02.2016 22:32:30] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: We are free to engage and destroy your ships if you don't find an explanation fast.
[17.02.2016 22:32:41] Order|Genesis: Well done!
[17.02.2016 22:32:45] Order|Atlas-1: Nomad neutralized.
[17.02.2016 22:32:49] Order|Genesis: Back to the dragons.
[17.02.2016 22:32:54] Eiszeit: Oh. I didn't know.
[17.02.2016 22:33:02] Ren.Ishiyama: Another Order cruelty against the wildlife.
[17.02.2016 22:33:02] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Shirayuki make sure nobody approaches the battleship.
[17.02.2016 22:33:04] BD|Mt.Warusawa: ?: RTB confirmed from high command, crew, were pulling out.
[17.02.2016 22:33:07] Order|Atlas-1: Kongo is clear, Warusawa on other hand is still in danger zone.
[17.02.2016 22:33:14] [KNF]KDS-Shirayuki: Hai. Our weapons are ready.
[17.02.2016 22:33:14] Order|Genesis: Copy.
[17.02.2016 22:33:19] Eiszeit: How can we solve this problem?
[17.02.2016 22:33:23] BD|Mt.Warusawa: ?: Warusawa copy for recall, moving to extraction
[17.02.2016 23:06:36] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: *A few hours later, Hana would find herself in the same room again, her arm in a sling, but her body still bruised. -
[17.02.2016 23:07:05] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: They seemed to have given her a small dosis of adrenaline to wake her up and keep her awake for a bit.*
[17.02.2016 23:07:25] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Will she wake up now? *Ishikawa was talking to some person behind her* This is a damn mess..
[17.02.2016 23:08:29] Hana'Ken: *Hana groaned as she slowly opened her eyes, wincing suddenly when she tried to straighten up. Her eyes rolling -
[17.02.2016 23:08:49] Hana'Ken: a little, she slowly focused on the person in front of her* ...
[17.02.2016 23:10:04] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: *Ishikawa narrowed his eyes, staring at her.* Ah. There you are. It seems we got interrupted earlier.
[17.02.2016 23:11:17] Hana'Ken: In....urgh... *she clutched her arm with her free hand* Indeed. *she looked at him, defeat in her eyes* Where were we?
[17.02.2016 23:12:01] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: *He sighed* We didn't get very far. So I think it would be nice if you would introduce yourself.
[17.02.2016 23:13:21] Hana'Ken: *grtting her teeth* Hana...Ken. *she closed her eyes, and when she opened them she had a little more focus*
[17.02.2016 23:13:55] Hana'Ken: It seems you treat lost souls rather harshly... -san?
[17.02.2016 23:14:40] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: It is a harsh world out there. I am Ishikawa Hideaki, commander of the battleship Sado.
[17.02.2016 23:15:18] Hana'Ken: *she bows her head low* An honour, Hideaki-san.
[17.02.2016 23:16:30] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: *He waves it off* Please. It will be enough if you just answer my questions. First of all, are you the same Hana Ken that I -
[17.02.2016 23:16:42] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: saw flying with those radical chrysanthemums?
[17.02.2016 23:17:36] Hana'Ken: *raises an eyebrow, rubbing her stomach* ... judging by the scene that just occured, there is little room to argue, hai?
[17.02.2016 23:17:39] Hana'Ken: *forces a grin*
[17.02.2016 23:18:54] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: I just want to make sure. *He smiles at her.* So, the dragon attack was for you then?
[17.02.2016 23:19:39] Hana'Ken: *she goes to cross her arms, but winces from the pain. She settles for placing a hand under her sling* ...
[17.02.2016 23:21:18] Hana'Ken: *she looks at him sternly*
[17.02.2016 23:22:47] Hana'Ken: *she keeps silent*
[17.02.2016 23:23:38] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: *He looks at her for a while and then sighs* Well, it was a redundant question anyway. What were you doing in Tohoku?
[17.02.2016 23:24:41] Hana'Ken: Believe it or not... I did indeed manage to loose my way in the Nampo cloud. *scratches her neck* Nightmare to -
[17.02.2016 23:24:59] Hana'Ken: navigation systems, that cloud is... never knew how Dragons find their way.
[17.02.2016 23:25:13] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: So you were just passing through then?
[17.02.2016 23:25:38] Hana'Ken: Indeed. Sadly... wrong place, wrong time. *frowns* Fate is fickle, is it not?
[17.02.2016 23:26:56] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: If you want to call it fate.. Ah well. I now have the pleasure of wondering what to do with you...
[17.02.2016 23:27:02] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: You're still part of the chrysanthemums?
[17.02.2016 23:28:22] Hana'Ken: *looks at the table, almost...sad?* Iie... they turned their fire upon me long ago.
[17.02.2016 23:28:44] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Oh. That is interesting. Tell me how that happened.
[17.02.2016 23:30:48] Hana'Ken: *she looked in his eyes discerningly for a moment* ... the drive for power is present in all, Ishikawa-san. I left to seek -
[17.02.2016 23:31:47] Hana'Ken: some answers... *scratches her neck* conflict takes it's toll on both sides. On my return, they attempted to slay me.
[17.02.2016 23:32:04] Hana'Ken: *looks at the floor, wiping the corner of her eye*... little more to say...
[17.02.2016 23:33:10] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Huh.. Well internal strife is not unheard of. What are you doing in Kusari then? Staying with the dragons now?
[17.02.2016 23:35:05] Hana'Ken: Travelling. *glancing up at him, a frown on her face* Hideaki-san... what are you after here?
[17.02.2016 23:36:21] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Hm. Knowledge I suppose? It's not every day I have to chance to interrogate one of the big enemies of the republic.
[17.02.2016 23:38:33] Hana'Ken: *forces a grin as she leans back in the seat, ignoring how uncomfortable it was* 'Big Enemies'? You overate me, Hideaki-san.
[17.02.2016 23:39:46] Hana'Ken: *scratches her neck, idly*... I shall have to ask a favour of you, sadly.
[17.02.2016 23:40:03] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Well you seem to enjoy the label.. *He raises an eyebrow.* A favour?
[17.02.2016 23:40:45] Hana'Ken: Hai. *her expression was... uncomfortable* In, ur... whatever is left of my vessel would be a Cardamine breather...
[17.02.2016 23:41:19] Hana'Ken: If you are wanting to have a civil discussion, it would be to the benefit of both of us if I were to have it.
[17.02.2016 23:41:53] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Oh that. *He chuckles.* It must be horrible to live with that. You will be able to hold out for a little longer, yes?
[17.02.2016 23:42:32] Hana'Ken: It is indeed... a taint of the past that, sadly, persists. *She scratches her neck* ...hai, ok.
[17.02.2016 23:43:55] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: I have given orders to fetch something for your needs.. In the meantime, tell me what your current goals are.
[17.02.2016 23:45:01] Hana'Ken: To find handsome Naval Commanders and force them to talk to me *chuckles, then winces as she clutches her ribs*
[17.02.2016 23:45:56] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: *He smirks at her.* Are you trying to get on my good side now?
[17.02.2016 23:46:18] Hana'Ken: Is it working? *forcing a grin through the pain*
[17.02.2016 23:48:14] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: It depends on what you expect from that. Do you think some sweet words will make me release you?
[17.02.2016 23:50:22] Hana'Ken: Of course not. You have enough of my respect to not consider that a possibility.*sitting forward* Despite the propoganda -
[17.02.2016 23:50:40] Hana'Ken: the Naval forces of the Republic do not appoint fools for Commanders.
[17.02.2016 23:52:08] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Then what? *He tilts his head as he looks at her* Just better treatment?
[17.02.2016 23:52:20] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Or.. do you actually like me? *He smiles*
[17.02.2016 23:55:13] Hana'Ken: Even foes may treat each other with civility, if given the opportunity. *raises an eyebrow* Treat me as you will.
[17.02.2016 23:57:01] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Alright then. So will you tell me now what you're currently trying to achieve in Kusari?
[17.02.2016 23:57:43] Hana'Ken: Iie. I shall not. *looking at him with a soft smile*
[17.02.2016 23:59:30] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Then what will I have to do to make you tell me? I do not enjoy hurting unarmed people..
[18.02.2016 00:00:32] Hana'Ken: *retains her smile* If hurting me is what you must do... then you shall not be having an enjoyable day.
[18.02.2016 00:03:34] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: That's why I'm trying to avoid it. *He sighs* Will you not cooperate with this handsome Naval Forces commander?
[18.02.2016 00:04:31] Hana'Ken: Despite his charm, I must. *looking him sternly in the eye*
[18.02.2016 00:06:34] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: *He looks back into her eyes.* You said your chrysanthemum friends hate you now. You have no reason to protect them.
[18.02.2016 00:07:57] Hana'Ken: *she keeps a neutral face, retaining eye contact. She keeps silent* ...
[18.02.2016 00:09:07] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Hm. Hana... chan. Try to be a good girl and answer my questions, alright? Remember where you are.
[18.02.2016 00:10:37] Hana'Ken: It is precisely because of where I am, Hidaeki-san, that I must refuse. I am sure you understand.
[18.02.2016 00:12:51] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Do you think you can just keep saying no? If you cooperate we could offer you some nice deals. Like not going into prison.
[18.02.2016 00:15:06] Hana'Ken: The force which weaves the threads of fate is larger than you or I, Hidaeki-san. I must keep saying no to you.
[18.02.2016 00:15:43] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: *He sighs* How annoying. Some other questions then? Where do you live currently?
[18.02.2016 00:16:25] Hana'Ken: *looks at him discerningly, tucking her hand away to avoid revealing her shaking nerves* Among the Stars... freeport to freep-
[18.02.2016 00:16:27] Hana'Ken: ort.
[18.02.2016 00:17:09] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: I see. Well, Hana, how old are you now?
[18.02.2016 00:17:51] Hana'Ken: 43. *raises an eyebrow* A curious question.
[18.02.2016 00:18:17] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: *He shrugs* Where were you born?
[18.02.2016 00:18:37] Hana'Ken: *she scratches her neck* ...Honshu...
[18.02.2016 00:19:43] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: When did you join the Chrysanthemums then?
[18.02.2016 00:20:55] Hana'Ken: It has been a long time... hmm... *looks at the ceiling thoughtfully* Since I was 21. A Yume approached me -
[18.02.2016 00:21:12] Hana'Ken: she... made a lot of sense.
[18.02.2016 00:22:30] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: I see.. aren't you a bit old to be fighting now? Or does the cardamine make you feel young enough?
[18.02.2016 00:24:07] Hana'Ken: *attempts to shrug* Age only dulls the Spirit if one lets it, so... as you can see... I still resist the Republic's -
[18.02.2016 00:24:12] Hana'Ken: attempts to subdue us.
[18.02.2016 00:25:09] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Hm. Very well. *In the meantime a soldier has brought a breather device, putting it on the table in front of Ishikawa.*
[18.02.2016 00:25:39] Hana'Ken: *Hana leant forward, reaching out to take it as soon as it was out of the guard's hands*
[18.02.2016 00:25:53] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: *Ishikawa grabbed her wrist, stopping her* Not yet.
[18.02.2016 00:26:35] Hana'Ken: *frowning, she pulled back her hand.* ...
[18.02.2016 00:27:19] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Do you still have contacts in the sisterhood?
[18.02.2016 00:27:55] Hana'Ken: If your brethren fired upon you, would you still keep contacts with them? *tucking her hand in the sling*
[18.02.2016 00:28:28] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Maybe you still have some people there who don't hate you?
[18.02.2016 00:29:29] Hana'Ken: I doubt it *frowning*
[18.02.2016 00:29:50] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Well. Isn't it much nicer here then? I don't hate you after all.
[18.02.2016 00:31:27] Hana'Ken: *raising an eyebrow* I am not so sure... given the 'enemies' speech from earlier.
[18.02.2016 00:32:31] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Well, that doesn't mean that I hate you. *He smiles at her* I have some respect for you.
[18.02.2016 00:33:21] Hana'Ken: huh... *looking at him disceringly* That is a first... forgive me for not taking you at face value on that one.
[18.02.2016 00:34:17] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Hm? Do I seem untrustworthy? Have I done anything to deserve that judgement?
[18.02.2016 00:35:37] Hana'Ken: Not as of yet, Hidaeki-san. *leaning back, looking around* What happens now? Whisked away to some -
[18.02.2016 00:35:44] Hana'Ken: dark corner of Kusari... or...?
[18.02.2016 00:36:10] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Or? Well, it's a good question. What do you think we should do with you?
[18.02.2016 00:36:38] Hana'Ken: *forces a grin* Release me, no strings attached.
[18.02.2016 00:37:23] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: *He chuckles* That would be very unreasonable of us. Do you think we're stupid?
[18.02.2016 00:38:32] Hana'Ken: No harm in some wishful thinking. *smiles slightly* If I was in your position... I would be dead by now. - So...
[18.02.2016 00:38:41] Hana'Ken: I'd rather not answer your question.
[18.02.2016 00:40:01] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Well of course we have some access to torture and whatnot. But I'd rather not use that.
[18.02.2016 00:40:08] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: It would be better if you just cooperated.
[18.02.2016 00:41:31] Hana'Ken: As you've seen, I must refuse to cooperate. *bows her head slightly* Sumimasen.
[18.02.2016 00:42:49] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Hm. How long does it usually take until the withdrawal symptoms start to kick in?
[18.02.2016 00:43:51] Hana'Ken: Not long enough, regretfully. However, if you think that course of action is effective you are mistaken. *looking into
[18.02.2016 00:43:54] Hana'Ken: his eyes sternly*
[18.02.2016 00:46:50] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Well I heard it is quite hard to deal with for addicts. *He gives her a neutral look back.* You really think you're strong?
[18.02.2016 00:47:31] Hana'Ken: *raises an eyebrow, keeping his gaze as she leans back*
[18.02.2016 00:47:37] Hana'Ken: Hai.
[18.02.2016 00:48:40] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Well all we have to do is wait then, right? *He picks up the breather, spinning it between his fingers*
[18.02.2016 00:49:31] Hana'Ken: *the only reaction as a slight twitch of an eye* ...very well...
[18.02.2016 00:50:18] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: But if you want to talk at any time, just say so. I'll find a more comfortable room, some sake, something to eat...
[18.02.2016 00:51:10] Hana'Ken: You are not going to break me, Hidaeki-san. *sighs, then crosses her arm*
[18.02.2016 00:51:46] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: I'd be happy if I wouldn't need to. You're such a charming woman after all.
[18.02.2016 00:53:47] Hana'Ken: *grins slightly* such a shame about this conflict for Kusari's heart, hmm?
[18.02.2016 00:54:12] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Well.. I don't have a problem with all these women. They seem to have a problem with me. *He shrugs*
[18.02.2016 00:54:51] Hana'Ken: They have a problem with who commands you. You just happen to be the one who shoots back at them. *shrugs*
[18.02.2016 00:55:57] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: There are plenty of opportunities for women in Kusari. I would say becoming a terrorist is the worst choice one could make.
[18.02.2016 00:56:16] Hana'Ken: Some of us would disagree *forces a grin*
[18.02.2016 00:57:55] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Well I know that by now. They usually don't feel above flirting with us despicable men though.
[18.02.2016 00:59:05] Hana'Ken: well... that is their perogative *scratches her neck* As with all peoples, some enjoy it, some don't.
[18.02.2016 01:00:29] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Well, you must be craving it by now... It has been a few hours since you had a chance to inhale some..
[18.02.2016 01:01:45] Hana'Ken: *she did indeed look pale, but she shook her head* Iie... arigato. *forces a smile*
[18.02.2016 01:02:43] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: You're trying to be so brave. And for what? For the people that betrayed you and tried to kill you?
[18.02.2016 01:03:11] Hana'Ken: *she raises an eyebrow, but keeps silent* ...
[18.02.2016 01:03:49] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: *He held the breather up in front of her* Are you sure you don't need this?
[18.02.2016 01:04:47] Hana'Ken: As long as you hold it to ransom for my cooperation, I must say yes. *smiling softly*
[18.02.2016 01:06:03] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Hmph. Is my goodwill not worth cooperating? You could escape from this life with my help.
[18.02.2016 01:08:56] Hana'Ken: As I said, Hidaeki-san, I will not choose to give you the information you seek... goodwill or otherwise. *continues to-
[18.02.2016 01:09:07] Hana'Ken: smile softly*
[18.02.2016 01:09:58] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: *He frowns at her.* Have it your way then. *He takes the breather and gets up, walking to the door.*
[18.02.2016 01:11:47] Hana'Ken: *she turns her head to speak as he leaves* Hidaeki-san... May the Stars keep you, for now. *she kneels down in the -
[18.02.2016 01:11:55] Hana'Ken: middle of the room and closes her eyes*
[18.02.2016 01:13:00] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: *He looks back at her and then leaves, guards following along. She is left alone in the room for now.*
Kneeling in front of her table, she spoke her message with a tear in her eye. Her voice faltered as she put her hands in her lap, hiding their shaking from view. Withdrawal from the dream, the cardamine that sustained her, had taken it's toll. Hana could easily be said to have aged a decade in the space of that one long week. Her skin bore scars from the self-inflicted scratches... anything to ignore the pain of her torture. She shuddered, and taking a deep sigh she focused on finishing the rest of the message.
Closing the datapad, she sat back on crossed legs. "Whilst Hidaeki was honourable... they shall pay..." Rubbing her forehead, she held out a hand in front of her face and frowned deeply. It's blurred form floated in front of her, swaying as the withdrawals kicked in once again. "Where...Where did I put it..." As she fumbled around in her satchel for her breather, it occurred to her her life as a Chrysanthemum could never be the same... the damage to her body from the lack of cardamine had taken too much a toll.
"Perhaps...perhaps it could be..." Moments later, she found herself staring at the pulsing form of the orb on her desk. "Perhaps... it could be brought back. It would only..." With only a moments thought, Hana moved to the other side of the desk and took out the purple vials she coveted. "...hai...". She brought a vial up to her mouth, and swallowed the contents in one gulp. Bringing her head back up, she looked around carefully. "Nothing..." Suddenly, the flowing blues of the orb assaulted her eyes. Screaming, she fell backwards as the visions of her past returned to her.
Hana limped quietly down the stone corridor, lit by the rays of the Maltese sun flowing through the occasional window. Her satchel bag weighing heavy on her shoulders as she moved slowly to allow her blurred vision to keep pace. The purple dream had not healed her, as she had hoped, yet it had given her searing visions. Visions of a place of worship on Malta, the very same she had made pilgrimage to many moons ago at the start of her involvement with the Sisterhood of Dreams. Nostalgia kicking in, she took a moment to gaze into memory.
With a slight smile forming on her lips, she pushed upon a set of double doors into chamber of mediocre size. The décor left much to be desired, a stone walled room with a a large roof-window. Centered in the middle of the room was a statis chamber. "...as Tolomon-sama said it would be." Limping into the middle of this room, she set aside her coat and satchel bag - taking care to remove the orb from within. Hana held it carefully in her hands, for Thomas-sama had made it clear what this object was. It was an alien power core... her salvation... her transcendence.
Smiling softly, she removed her clothing and walked back to the middle of the room. The chamber opened for her. "...all suffering comes to an end..." Climbing into the chamber, she held the orb with both hands and leaning back she clutched it to her chest. Her eyes closed as the chamber shut, locking her in. "...'Oneness' at last..." The chamber flooded with purple fluid, the liquid cardamine rising slowly over her lips as they curved into a blissful smile.
[29.02.2016 20:40:20] Hana,Ken: *raises an eyebrow, squinting* ...Kon...Kon'banwa?
[29.02.2016 20:41:36] Hana,Ken: Who...who is there? *leaning close to her console*
[29.02.2016 20:42:27] Hana,Ken: *stares up at the blur in front of her view*
[29.02.2016 20:42:56] Oracle|ThreeWinds: Few things escape the eyes of truth when you have an orb in your posession.
[29.02.2016 20:43:33] Hana,Ken: *suddenly sits up with a guarded expression* ... who are you?
[29.02.2016 20:44:03] Oracle|ThreeWinds: Thomas. Are you well?
[29.02.2016 20:44:43] Hana,Ken: *she scratches her neck, a look of recognition slowly coming to her eyes*
[29.02.2016 20:45:01] Hana,Ken: We... have met before, i think. A long time ago. *smiles slightly*
[29.02.2016 20:45:39] Oracle|ThreeWinds: At the beginning.
[29.02.2016 20:46:39] Hana,Ken: *she nods slowly* To answer your question... hai, well enough to still be alive. How have the Stars treated you -
[29.02.2016 20:46:42] Hana,Ken: in this time?
[29.02.2016 20:48:21] Oracle|ThreeWinds: We are doing as we do. Not as harshly as youve been I sence.
[29.02.2016 20:49:42] Hana,Ken: *nods slowly, looking at the sun* ... torture brings with it it's perils. As does not being connected with the dream...
[29.02.2016 20:49:58] Hana,Ken: it's...being held from me took a heavy toll.
[29.02.2016 20:50:36] Oracle|ThreeWinds: hrm.. no. I sence plenty within you. This is something else.
[29.02.2016 20:51:19] Hana,Ken: Plenty since... *raises an eyebrow, looking at his blurred form* what is it you sense?
[29.02.2016 20:51:58] Oracle|ThreeWinds: *** -feel- /your/ "cusp" ***
[29.02.2016 20:52:45] Oracle|ThreeWinds: Your path.. is at a moment of change.. the ones the held you did evil.. but it was from ultimate weakness that they act.
[29.02.2016 20:53:07] Hana,Ken: *closes her eyes, rubbing her forehead as she listens*
[29.02.2016 20:53:38] Oracle|ThreeWinds: You can become one... with the ideal self, if you let go of that weakness. This is not the end. it is the end of the begining.
[29.02.2016 20:55:16] Hana,Ken: *she opens her eyes slowly, and looks in his direction with an expression of awe*
[29.02.2016 20:55:45] Oracle|ThreeWinds: Take the orb. Familiarise yourself with it. ive told it the template. but you must embrace the change in a safe place.
[29.02.2016 20:56:19] Hana,Ken: This... ideal. *she scratches her neck* ... you can... understand my visions? *she holds th orb in her hand*
[29.02.2016 20:56:47] Oracle|ThreeWinds: many have transitioned already.
[29.02.2016 20:57:23] Oracle|ThreeWinds: Though many fools and fortune hunters pick intact orbs such as those from the void.. they do not know they might as well have
[29.02.2016 20:57:43] Oracle|ThreeWinds: plucked our eye to see them.. and know everything around them.
[29.02.2016 20:58:32] Oracle|ThreeWinds: They live. they are alive. and yours knows you. Is can transform you.. as you have all the material needed..given you.
[29.02.2016 20:59:05] Hana,Ken: Ah... I see now what it is *examining the orb closely, tapping it softly* This transformation... what happens to me?
[29.02.2016 21:00:17] Oracle|ThreeWinds: Accepting in conciousness when your in your space... the cocoon envelops you. Its strands loosen and you awake.
[29.02.2016 21:00:47] Oracle|ThreeWinds: before a pilgrim. emerging a goddess
[29.02.2016 21:01:11] Hana,Ken: *raises an eyebrow* ... yuo have a guest.
[29.02.2016 21:02:15] Oracle|ThreeWinds: admit you dont see that everyday
[29.02.2016 21:02:26] Hana,Ken: *waves a hand dismissively*... nevermind. *staring at the orb* ... a goddess?... will I be healed?
[29.02.2016 21:02:31] Hana,Ken: *looks at Thomas hopefully*
[29.02.2016 21:03:16] Oracle|ThreeWinds: Weakness is a.. substence of mortality.
[29.02.2016 21:03:47] Oracle|ThreeWinds: Healing... no.. its beyond health
[29.02.2016 21:04:39] Oracle|ThreeWinds: you will join.. a family all other seraphim know each other. live for one another. the needs of the self are the needs of all.
[29.02.2016 21:05:39] Hana,Ken: *her expression turns slowly into a soft smile* Like the 'Oneness' I used to dream of... *she clutches the orb closely and nod*
[29.02.2016 21:05:44] Hana,Ken: //*nods*
[29.02.2016 21:06:23] Oracle|ThreeWinds: That is..of course. your choice. the other way is to sacrifice all that it was to be human...
[29.02.2016 21:07:19] Oracle|ThreeWinds: The light is brilliant.. but the substence of things. are memories thoughts.. no more touch bad or good as youve known.
[29.02.2016 21:09:49] Hana,Ken: The 'Oneness' of those, urm... you called them Seraphim? That 'Oneness' is what I've have sought for -
[29.02.2016 21:09:56] Hana,Ken: my adult life...
[29.02.2016 21:10:30] Oracle|ThreeWinds: They were much the same way. They created themselves.. the spirits knowledge i have assisted.. but it was them.
[29.02.2016 21:11:41] Hana,Ken: I...I would be remiss not to say I am fearful of this future... *holding the orb up to her eyes, studying it*
[29.02.2016 21:12:24] Oracle|ThreeWinds: Many reside at the temple. Tolomon.. the leader of maltas seraphims was my student for ten years.
[29.02.2016 21:13:24] Oracle|ThreeWinds: Though youd only need to meet him.. not sure if it would affirm what is truly your decision. but life is change and....
[29.02.2016 21:13:44] Oracle|ThreeWinds: this change brings greater life.
[29.02.2016 21:14:17] Hana,Ken: Would it... aid in the transformation if it were under Toloman-san's guidance?
[29.02.2016 21:14:57] Oracle|ThreeWinds: Wouldent matter. We can only provide a place of safety. the change is.. all yours.
[29.02.2016 21:15:53] Hana,Ken: Perhaps... if you would permitt me entry, the temple where you reside may be the safety place I can think of for this
[29.02.2016 21:15:57] Hana,Ken: transcendence.
[29.02.2016 21:17:02] Oracle|ThreeWinds: *sends direct co ordinates.* Try not to land on the flowers.
[29.02.2016 21:17:15] Oracle|ThreeWinds: Youll find the campus is vary open.
[29.02.2016 21:17:32] Hana,Ken: *bows her head* Domo arigato, Thomas-san.
[29.02.2016 21:18:48] Oracle|ThreeWinds: settle in first.. become comfortable.. At least that much.
[29.02.2016 21:19:29] Oracle|ThreeWinds: Otherwise. Our home is yours.
[29.02.2016 21:20:20] Hana,Ken: *bows her head again* I am thankful for your guiding light, Thomas-sama. *she looks at the sun again* ... the end
[29.02.2016 21:20:35] Hana,Ken: to the suffering is...it brings a strange feeling with it.
[29.02.2016 21:21:47] Oracle|ThreeWinds: intimidating.
[29.02.2016 21:21:55] Oracle|ThreeWinds: But.
[29.02.2016 21:23:58] Oracle|ThreeWinds: Well that thought ran off..
[29.02.2016 21:24:13] Oracle|ThreeWinds: oh i remember
[29.02.2016 21:24:29] Oracle|ThreeWinds: its like living without seeing the color green.
[29.02.2016 21:25:20] Oracle|ThreeWinds: Youll find.. it was just another color. in short.
[29.02.2016 21:25:26] Hana,Ken: *grins, and tilts her head slightly* A curious interpretation.
[29.02.2016 21:28:12] Oracle|ThreeWinds: Side question. Howe did you fly this far when you feel that bad.
[29.02.2016 21:29:00] Hana,Ken: *grins slightly* ... delusional determination... or at least it /was/ delusional until it brought me to here and now.
[29.02.2016 21:29:43] Oracle|ThreeWinds: Hrmm.. i know that state. i used autopilot though.
[29.02.2016 21:30:25] Hana,Ken: That... and the purple dream lent strength enough to get here.
[29.02.2016 21:31:37] Oracle|ThreeWinds: I do have errands in the city. but the place is easy to find.
[29.02.2016 21:32:02] Hana,Ken: *nods her head slowly* I understand
The silence that had presided over the chamber for twelve days, like a ghostly sentinel, suddenly gave way to high pitched hiss. The seal of the chamber's doors unlocked to the sound of bulky metal clamps unfastening. Purple liquid spilled out in a torrent, flooding the rooms stone floor yet the level of the liquid dropped as it ran into drains placed in crevasses of the stonework. Hana lay naked in the chamber, the sunlight beaming down from above glistening off her skin.
Her eyes shot open as she gasped for oxygen, rolling out of the chamber onto the floor as her diaphragm spasmed coming to life once more. For what felt like an age, she clung onto the edge of life but slowly and surely her breathing slowed and her vision returned to her. Dragging herself to where her now drenched clothes lay, she pulled them on ignoring their state. She pulled herself into a corner, looking at her hands as they shook in her lap. A blue glow emanated from her satchel. Reaching in, she went to pick up the orb yet no contact a splitting headache struck her. Clutching her temples as her senses overloaded, she screamed. Fire... my brain... is on fire! Kuso... wait, these voices. So many voices. So much noise, get out get out ge- Her eyes went wide as realisation struck her, and a soft smile crept across her face. Kon'nichiwa. She sat there for close to an hour, looking out of the window in the ceiling towards the sun as her mind burnt it's way to her new destiny. Her smile grew blissful when she closes her eyes, concentrating on the nuances of her new mind. Her new soul. 'Oneness'...
She need not look to the door as she felt someone approaching. The double doors parted as two robed figures walked into the room, Tolomon-sama and another. "You survived then. Good." His accomplice passed him a bag, which he removed a stick of bread from. "Kusarian bread, from Honshu. Your old home I believe." He offered her the bread. Taking it in two hands, she took a large bite and paused to let it settle. Only several seconds passed before she gagged as her stomach returned the goods and she wretched into a drain at her feet. "It is done then." His lips slowed curved into a smile, his eyes narrowing slightly in concentration.
