Konnichiwa Mi-chan,
Sorry for the delay. I had to take a detour and pick up a powered armor that I bought from the Order.
I think the best course of action is to gather as many samples as we can during our stay.
10 containers of the objective specimen is enough. We can bring back 5 samples each. That will be enough to ensure that both the Golden Chrysanthemums and myself can start growing our own plants.
The other containers can be used to gather additional interesting species. I can kinda picture my own garden with Gaian flora.
The TAZ opened their library for me a while back and I took the time to copy some of the data regarding Gaia to my ship. 2 plant species stood out for me. Too bad the information was incomplete as Gaia is largely unexplored. That will be up to us.
I hope you are alright after yesterdays mess? I have to admit, I was a bit worried again. I hope things get clear within the next days, all this is too suspicious to me. I kept mostly shut about it so far unless what I told you already. I didn't receive a reply so far though.
But I would prefer to focus on our planned vacation trip. I doubt we need anything more, I already got the few things you told me we miss.
Tell me when I can help you with anything. I might be a Golden Flower and did quite a few horrible things myself but I did not attempt to mass murder civilians.

Hi Mi-chan
I took matters into my own hand and brought this incident to the Shogunate. They claim to be completely ignorant about this. Basicly they tried to shoo me away with a generic answer and I suspect they want to cover it up. Maybe you can make something out of the reply they gave me.
I've heard your name but I don't think we've yet to have the pleasure. Before I begin, I should make sure you are aware that the Shogunate was not, and is not, aware of any of your immediate personal connections - not that this any relevance, as you will soon realise.
Firstly, there has been no Shogunate sanctioned hostilities against installations within the Kepler system as of late. Whoever, or whatever, caused this was not associated with the Shogunate in any way shape or form. I stress this because, as I would assume you know well, the diplomacy of the Dragons is kept in a very fragile state with many organisations and we aim to keep this in perfect balance.
This Togo does raise concerns. I cannot, or rather will not, go into detail as to our actions or opinions on this situation. However, there will be actions taken. I understand your concern for this delicate matter and how there may be personal feelings interjecting themselves here, but clarity is required. Stow your hostility while we deal with this situation, as an aggressive attitude will get neither of us anywhere.
You are not currently in a position to demand things or judge us. You are considered our ally but you clearly do not recall how the politics of the Blood Dragons conduct themselves. The Shogunate does not have direct control over all, and renegade clans are more than capable of causing havoc if they lose their way, or fall back on being filthy rōnin.
Be patient.

I am not that much of an idiot that they can make me believe that they do not know who flies that Togo.
What in Amaterasu's name is this? The Shogunate's Minister of War shows up and leaves you with anything but no useful information? He could atleast admit the Togo's alignment. That weirdo crawling up to state they are very far in a certain part of that Auxesian even told us the Clan this Togo originates from.
Either they try to cover things up there to avoid revealing their own involvement in this mess, a case I hopefully am right to consider unlikely, or they try to cover up that this Togo and the Clan behind it is involved in any form to the attack on your friends.
The mere statement that the Shogunate of now has seemingly unsufficient control over the Clans is a sad sign, a few years ago you would have never heard such a sentence.
It will be the best to wait if they say anything more. I am way too curious about this anyways. A hell lot of suspicious people appeared around Kepler, all of them could have their hands in this. If that is the case, we face more than just murderers. Let's hope for the "best" scenario and it is just that one Clan and the people they support. Such trifles could be dealt with easily.
I might investigate this myself, I contacted the Overwatch afterall. Maybe they are willing to help too.
Take care and please don't take unnecessary risks or atleast tell me when you do.

I know what Auxesia said. The fact that they would know more than the Blood Dragons is rediculous.
That is why I said this is probably a coverup. Since when do they have unknown Togos flying around?
Always interesting when you can gain more information from your enemies than your allies.
Makes me wonder what else they are hiding. They seem to believe me to be completely ignorant.
This Ando clan seems to be problematic. And the Shogunate seems to want to keep them hidden. I wonder why.
Did you have experience with this clan before?
Let us just keep a close eye on Kusari and that Ando Clan, just like that weirdos working with Auxesia. I guess that is all we should do until the Overwatch, I hope Golanski himself, reaches back to me. We shall meet some time soon to discuss everything else.

Konnichiwa Mi-chan,
I informed Admiral Golanski about the incident and included all the evidence on this topic.
So let him burn this whole Ando thing to the ground, while we go on vacation to Gaia.
Knowing him, he will not leave this information untouched.
So you contacted him too, that's great to hear. I guess I will just tell him not to await another message from me but to focus on the evidence you provided.
That means we are back to our vacation plan. Let me think whatelse we need. You wanted to make a small base camp, hai? Tell me what you already have for this so I can organize the rest.
Hope to hear from you soon, I am looking forward to Gaia.

Hmm,
I am sorry we got attacked by that bounty hunter in Delta. I saw Golanski and wanted to follow him.
I guess I drew the attention when I attacked that capital ship.
Hope you made it out alive.
As for base camp. Something makeshift will do. I practicly live on my ship anyway
I think we are pretty much adequately prepared...
I am all fine. No worries. I understand why you did it. But that doesn't really matter right now.
Regarding our camp plans, hai, something quickly built should suffice. We should get the last things gathered for it. I could really need our vacation soon.
Hope to hear from you soon and please do not ask why I am already awake.
