Identification:Hayashi Aiko, Nakai Clan Subject:Long Live the Dragons
Aisatsu,
I have several reports to make; the first is that while patrolling the Hokkaido system I had encountered a single Kaigun fighter that appeared to take offence in my singing, the logs are attached.
[04.11.2019 19:44:07] BD|N.Hayashi: Aoki hana saku daichi, kedakaki waga kokyou yo~ !
[04.11.2019 19:44:15] [KNF]Ni,Akira.Tokoyma,: Uh?
[04.11.2019 19:44:36] BD|N.Hayashi: Ohaiyogozaimasu. - So there is someone listening?
[04.11.2019 19:44:44] [KNF]Ni,Akira.Tokoyma,: There is.
[04.11.2019 19:45:06] BD|N.Hayashi: Gomen, did I disturb your patrol?
[04.11.2019 19:45:23] [KNF]Ni,Akira.Tokoyma,: It seems I finally have some fun.
[04.11.2019 19:45:44] BD|N.Hayashi: Fun is objective Kaigun.
[04.11.2019 19:45:50] BD|N.Hayashi: Or was that subjective. Hm.
[04.11.2019 19:46:34] [KNF]Ni,Akira.Tokoyma,: So where are you hiding?
[04.11.2019 19:46:43] [KNF]Ni,Akira.Tokoyma,: To make this less painful for you.
[04.11.2019 19:46:43] BD|N.Hayashi: Kaigun-sama, the hidden Dragon never reveals her secrets.
[04.11.2019 19:47:09] [KNF]Ni,Akira.Tokoyma,: So cowards.
[04.11.2019 19:47:28] BD|N.Hayashi: Bushido, bakayarou! One must know when to fight.
[04.11.2019 19:47:56] BD|N.Hayashi: Ohaiyo, care to join me for the view?
[04.11.2019 19:48:41] BD|N.Hayashi: Try flying 'above' the Shiden.
[04.11.2019 19:50:41] BD|N.Hayashi: *she sighs* Having trouble?
[04.11.2019 19:50:55] [KNF]Ni,Akira.Tokoyma,: Uh who knows. --Joined by one of Takeda Clan-- [04.11.2019 19:51:18] BD|T.Takayomi: Hey there
[04.11.2019 19:51:20] BD|N.Hayashi: I told you, above the Shiden, baka! Or do I have to come down there into that ghastly soup? [04.11.2019 19:51:36] BD|N.Hayashi: Single KNF contact in Hokkaido. Position unknown. Last sighted near Ainu.
[04.11.2019 19:51:54] [KNF]Ni,Akira.Tokoyma,: Come so I gladly end you. [04.11.2019 19:52:05] BD|T.Takayomi: Roger coming
[04.11.2019 19:52:09] BD|N.Hayashi: Ne! You come to me!
[04.11.2019 19:53:51] [KNF]Ni,Akira.Tokoyma,: Just show up.
[04.11.2019 19:54:12] BD|N.Hayashi: I have! Shine.
[04.11.2019 19:54:44] [KNF]Ni,Akira.Tokoyma,: I know you are stalling. Don't worry.
[04.11.2019 19:54:52] [KNF]Ni,Akira.Tokoyma,: The more the merrier.
[04.11.2019 19:55:16] BD|N.Hayashi: I was simply enjoying the view above the Shiden, enjoying being human for once.
[04.11.2019 19:55:34] [KNF]Ni,Akira.Tokoyma,: Oh really? [04.11.2019 19:55:35] BD|T.Takayomi: got you on scanners
[04.11.2019 19:55:39] BD|N.Hayashi: Hai.
[04.11.2019 19:56:39] BD|N.Hayashi: One must appreciate the simple pleasures in life, else you can lose yourself.
[04.11.2019 19:57:14] BD|N.Hayashi: Aisatsu Dragon, glad to have you with me.
[04.11.2019 19:58:04] BD|N.Hayashi: Bakayarou Kaigun! ... You still there?
[04.11.2019 19:58:18] [KNF]Ni,Akira.Tokoyma,: Of course. I'm just waiting for you.
[04.11.2019 19:58:37] BD|T.Takayomi: *caught* glad to see you, dragon Hayashi i am Keigatsu Takayomi one of fighters of Daimyo Takeda.
[04.11.2019 19:58:56] BD|N.Hayashi: Hai hai... WHERE!? Yowamushi!
[04.11.2019 19:59:17] [KNF]Ni,Akira.Tokoyma,: At the jumpgate obviously.
[04.11.2019 19:59:23] BD|N.Hayashi: It is an honour to fly with one of Takeda Takayomi-san.
[04.11.2019 19:59:46] BD|N.Hayashi: *she mimics mockingly* 'At the jumpgate obviously' - Hai hai... which?
[04.11.2019 19:59:47] BD|T.Takayomi: Same for you Hayashi-san
[04.11.2019 20:00:02] [KNF]Ni,Akira.Tokoyma,: I'll let you guess.
[04.11.2019 20:00:32] BD|N.Hayashi: Anata o koroshimasu.
[04.11.2019 20:01:03] BD|T.Takayomi: There
[04.11.2019 20:01:07] BD|T.Takayomi: Right
[04.11.2019 20:01:07] BD|N.Hayashi: See him.
[04.11.2019 20:01:13] [KNF]Ni,Akira.Tokoyma,: Ha. As expected. [04.11.2019 20:01:18] BD|N.Hayashi: Too close to the station.
[04.11.2019 20:01:31] BD|T.Takayomi: ah still hiding behaind stations ha?
[04.11.2019 20:02:08] BD|N.Hayashi: Dragon Hayashi Aiko of Nakai Clan. - Whom do I have the pleasure of facing this day?
[04.11.2019 20:02:38] [KNF]Ni,Akira.Tokoyma,: Uh does it matter?
[04.11.2019 20:02:50] [KNF]Ni,Akira.Tokoyma,: I'm guessing you want to both take on me.
[04.11.2019 20:03:20] BD|N.Hayashi: If one desires to truly fight with honour, they fight with their name known so that the victor can pay respects in their fall.
[04.11.2019 20:03:35] BD|T.Takayomi: *laugh* we are not cowards like your Naval forces we fair one by one
[04.11.2019 20:03:46] BD|N.Hayashi: Hai Takayomi-san.
[04.11.2019 20:03:55] [KNF]Ni,Akira.Tokoyma,: Ok then, who's first?
[04.11.2019 20:04:17] BD|T.Takayomi: So you or me?
[04.11.2019 20:04:18] BD|N.Hayashi: I was here first, I was challenged. I shall face you, whomever you are.
[04.11.2019 20:04:25] BD|T.Takayomi: Rog
[04.11.2019 20:04:28] [KNF]Ni,Akira.Tokoyma,: As you wish.
[04.11.2019 20:04:40] BD|T.Takayomi: Go go
[04.11.2019 20:06:37] BD|T.Takayomi: Konabawa sister
[04.11.2019 20:06:44] Fallen.Spring: Konbawa!
[04.11.2019 20:06:52] BD|T.Takayomi: Stand down for this one
[04.11.2019 20:07:14] Fallen.Spring: Sure, sure. Wouldn't want to spoil the boys' fun
[04.11.2019 20:07:47] Fallen.Spring: While they honorably slaughter each other *she says with a hint of sarcasm*
[04.11.2019 20:07:49] BD|T.Takayomi: You are more than welcome here, we are honor fighters we dont attack in group
[04.11.2019 20:11:02] Fallen.Spring: *she sniffs a bit of cardamine from the ship console* They seem good at not killing each other however!
[04.11.2019 20:13:21] BD|N.Shizumo: Hayashi!! Strike true, sister.
[04.11.2019 20:14:04] BD|T.Takayomi: Watch for mines
[04.11.2019 20:14:52] Fallen.Spring: Cardamine anyone? I have enough for a small party!
[04.11.2019 20:15:13] BD|N.Shizumo: Absolutely not, sister of the GC.
[04.11.2019 20:15:30] Fallen.Spring: Well... your loss brother *she smiles*
[04.11.2019 20:16:22] nagano: Konnichiwa.
[04.11.2019 20:16:31] nagano: We're reading many hostile ships.
[04.11.2019 20:16:43] Fallen.Spring: The cavalry arrives...
[04.11.2019 20:16:51] BD|N.Shizumo: Oh... oh my...
[04.11.2019 20:16:52] nagano: Pilot, do you need assistance?
[04.11.2019 20:16:58] Fallen.Spring: I do not have enough of cardamine for your ship though
[04.11.2019 20:17:02] Fallen.Spring: Sorry
[04.11.2019 20:17:10] BD|N.Shizumo: Sister of the GC, are your bomber weapons in tune?
[04.11.2019 20:17:22] nagano: Sounds like a threat to me.
[04.11.2019 20:17:25] Fallen.Spring: My aim is true [04.11.2019 20:17:39] Death: [KNF]Ni,Akira.Tokoyma, was put out of action by BD|N.Hayashi (Gun).
[04.11.2019 20:17:41] [KNF]Ni,Akira.Tokoyma,: Maybe kill the others?
[04.11.2019 20:17:44] Fallen.Spring: Yay!
[04.11.2019 20:17:47] Fallen.Spring: *claps*
[04.11.2019 20:17:48] BD|N.Hayashi: It was an honour.
[04.11.2019 20:17:52] nagano: Pilot captured.
[04.11.2019 20:17:57] BD|N.Shizumo: Haysahi!!
[04.11.2019 20:17:57] Fallen.Spring: Point one for the good guys!
[04.11.2019 20:17:59] nagano: Honour? Get lost.
[04.11.2019 20:18:01] Fallen.Spring: And gals!
[04.11.2019 20:18:05] BD|N.Hayashi: Ohaiyo Shizumo-kun!
[04.11.2019 20:18:14] nagano: Scram before the big one joins in.
[04.11.2019 20:18:16] BD|N.Shizumo: Ohaiyo! You have honored Nakai clan today.
[04.11.2019 20:18:19] BD|N.Hayashi: Hai! --Retreating from the Battleship--
[04.11.2019 20:18:33] BD|T.Takayomi: If he fire smoke him Fallen
[04.11.2019 20:18:34] BD|N.Hayashi: Should we alert the Dragon's Claw to this vessel?
[04.11.2019 20:18:37] BD|T.Takayomi: we cover you
[04.11.2019 20:18:43] nagano: GC ship, drop that contraband within ten seconds.
[04.11.2019 20:18:56] nagano: *powers up weapons*
[04.11.2019 20:19:01] BD|N.Shizumo: Break break!
[04.11.2019 20:19:02] Fallen.Spring: Screw you! That's my cardamine!
[04.11.2019 20:19:11] nagano: If you say so.
Towards the end of the fight, we encountered what we assumed to be a reserve battlegroup Tokugawa-class vessel, ID: 'nagano'. Myself and Shizumo chose to retreat and alert Dragon forces within Chugoku of such a vessel's presence whilst the Chrysanthemum and Takayomi remained, however once we had scrambled to neutralise the Battleship, it had already fled.
Whilst Dragon Takayomi returned to Chugoku for important business, myself in my Nodachi Bomber and the Nakai Clan Cruiser Hamamatsu decided to proceed deeper into Kusari in order to make a statement, what we encountered was not to be expected. Logs attached.
[04.11.2019 20:40:57] BD|N.Hayashi.: Ohaiyo Corsair. Consider talking this out?
[04.11.2019 20:41:06] Amused.Pepe: Looks like I've caught myself a cabron today.
[04.11.2019 20:41:11] Amused.Pepe: Charging weapons.
[04.11.2019 20:41:19] Amused.Pepe: Opening fire! For Crete!
[04.11.2019 20:41:25] BD|N.Hayashi.: B-baka!
[04.11.2019 20:43:05] BD|N.Hamamatsu: Kumahata: This is the Hamamatsu. Cut your engines.
[04.11.2019 20:43:25] BD|N.Hamamatsu: Kumahata: Have it your way. [04.11.2019 20:44:40] Death: BD|N.Hayashi. was put out of action by Amused.Pepe (Gun).
Unfortunately, my Nodachi was no match for this Corsair's Titan, he was also an expert enough of a pilot to evade the Hamamatsu's guns and promptly fled the scene after the destruction of my vessel. The joke was on him though, I did not expect to win and ejected from my bomber shortly before it's destruction, making myself appear like debris. The Hamamatsu brought me aboard and ferried me back to Chugoku.
Once I had returned to Chugoku, I had desired to get straight back out there and wasted no time to launch yet again in my fighter, where I linked up with Dragon Shizumo. He shall have a report of what followed. As shall Takayomi for the other engagements and encounters we had.
As a final note, I am deeply concerned about the presence of these Corsairs as noted in the attached communication. - May I suggest we inform the Order and Apostatas of this?
[04.11.2019 23:30:26] BD|N.Hayashi: Banzai!
[04.11.2019 23:30:26] GC-Kirisame: All clear
[04.11.2019 23:30:43] GC-Hattori.Ayumi.: Beam in those pilots...
[04.11.2019 23:30:44] BD|N.Hayashi: Arigato Chrysanthemums.
[04.11.2019 23:30:49] GC-Kirisame: Thanks for the assistence
[04.11.2019 23:31:00] BD|N.Hayashi: Corsairs have no business being in Kusari.
[04.11.2019 23:31:08] GC-Hattori.Ayumi.: Agree'd.
[04.11.2019 23:31:26] GC-Hattori.Ayumi.: Hopefully next time they will stay where they belong...
[04.11.2019 23:31:33] GC-Kirisame: Corsair presence in Kusari has been unusaully large recently
[04.11.2019 23:31:54] GC-Kirisame: One of our transports was attacked yesterday
[04.11.2019 23:31:56] GC-Hattori.Ayumi.: foolish for enterting a space full of their enemies...
[04.11.2019 23:32:03] BD|N.Hayashi: I have a feeling the Hogosha might be behind it. - It's worth an investigation.
[04.11.2019 23:32:17] GC-Hattori.Ayumi.: Agree'd.
[04.11.2019 23:32:26] GC-Kirisame: Make sure your pilot gets proper medical treatment
[04.11.2019 23:32:36] BD|N.Hayashi: Hai, their lives are my own.
[04.11.2019 23:33:26] GC-Kirisame: We will make our way back to Matsuda.
[04.11.2019 23:33:30] BD|N.Hayashi: We shall see what information we can dig up on this, it will likely require a joint-operation to get to the bottom of this.
[04.11.2019 23:33:37] BD|N.Hayashi: As always, it has been an honour to fight beside you.
[04.11.2019 23:33:41] GC-Kirisame: I need to restock my ship
[04.11.2019 23:33:48] GC-Hattori.Ayumi.: Pleasure is ours.
[04.11.2019 23:34:02] GC-Hattori.Ayumi.: Safe Skies, Hayashi-san
[04.11.2019 23:34:02] BD|N.Hayashi: Arigatogozaimasu. - Till we next draw blades.
[04.11.2019 23:34:12] GC-Kirisame: Sayonara blood dragon
Long live the Dragons! Glory to Nakai Clan!
Arigato,
Hayashi Aiko
Dragon of Nakai Clan.
When contending with a monster, you'd be wise to give the devil his due.
