As I have said before, maintenance was needed in a couple of our bases and I was required by my sisters to make such tasks. Strengthening the structure of the modules and making sure that our life support does not go off suddenly are not quite the most glamorous of jobs; but someone needs to do it; if you want some amateurs to do it, fine by me but if some sisters got out to the vacuum of space due to negligence, the Matriarch will not be happy at all.
With all due respect, if Misaki-san has grown up, I am the Queen of Bretonia. Besides her bravado against a cruiser and some piracy victories, I do not see how she can be better than me, considering the recent circumstances. Kusari Naval Forces have been dwindling for the most part and, even more, the current situation at home has been quite calmed, to say the least. It is no wonder that Misaki could have been improving herself in terms of accomplishments, but it does not say much about further dangerous confrontations or taking drastic decisions that could risk all of us. Additionally, our friendship with Junker’s Congress has done nothing right now; it does not matter if they cooperated in the past, you know that loyalties tend to change, and putting those people on a pedestal could backfire on us; especially if the animosities displayed by that last junker are the norm now.
Regarding the “successful” operation: The intel is worthless, as we are not conducting important duties in Pennsylvania and long-term tasks with doomed Zoners does not sound profitable at all, and we wasted precious time that it made the transaction with the Junker a laughable tip, in comparison to a whole normal patrol through our space.
If you want to leave my complaint as “noticed” only, fine. Whatever. But mark my words, Yume-san: If Misaki screw things up, if she gets sloppy…I will be the first to laugh at her grave; assuming that she did not sacrifice our sisters in the process, in a non-sensical quest to figure out what a drunk woman can do with her ship. Sacrifice is part of our lives, but dying in vain will not serve our cause.
