Excuse me, if I hurt your feelings Sada-san, but you started right of the bat with the suggestion to put one of our Sisters in a jailcel. If you can't handle my critical assessment of the situation, that isn't my problem. The Matriarch and I will need a far stronger case before we will even considder this.
Ofcourse you are free to bring in recommendations and suggestions at any time, but how do you think this will affect morale when you put our own sisters behind bars on such weak accusations and personal bias? You complain about people getting 'soft', but you are on the wrong adres with me if you think you can manipulate me with that defensive self victimisation because I didn't agree with you. Call it what you will when I add some halfhearted attempt at humor within these transmissions. They were only meant to illustrate the errors in your narrative.
So spare me that "if my words are not taken on a more serious tone and you are trying to search a nitpicky and unnecessary quarrel with each word I use, only to defend Misaki; that means that my rank is worth nothing and my accomplishments have been in vain, as I do not have even the authority to suggest how things could be done with lesser members and I do not have enough weight in this organization to make prosper our faithful cause."
What are you? A GC or some teenager throwing a tantrum? I at least expect some proper defence to accompany this to prove me wrong. You came here with your suggestions, but when I put them to the test it ended like this. Some lamentation on how you haven't been heard and how your rank means nothing. Well sunshine, if you want us to take corrective measures against sisters, you will need more than 'my gut feeling' or some personal observation of someone 'getting soft'. Or do you want us to start acting like the oppressive regime we are fighting every day? Knowing this, can you not understand why I have been sceptical of your evaluation?
Also. Your last comment is most striking off this all. you directed this message to all Gen'an GC. Yet when I replied, it is suddenly a problem. I am really sorry that I didn't notice that critical thought was not allowed. I will inform the Matriarch that you forgot how communications system work while doing your maintenance work on Ainu. Again, this is a childish way of saying that you don't want to talk to me and reeks of self victimisation. "I am not getting my way. Aknowledge me or I will go somewhere else."
I am sure you are above this kind of behaviour.

Konnichiwa,
This afternoon, I met with some high-ranking sisters among your Gen'an Chrysanthemums organization. They allowed me to accompany them on a convoy starting from Kinkaku-ji base. Although not officially part of the Sisterhood, I was allowed to carry their beloved commodity, Shigeakiki Tea all the way to Planet Malta in Omicron Alpha. That was the safe part of the trip.
From Malta, we loaded up some Orange and delivered it back to Kinkaku-ji base. Still felt safe.
From Kinkaku-ji, we loaded more Shigeakiki Tea and hauled it to Beaumont Base where we fetched a good price. Along the way, my computer systems refused to connect with the trade lanes and I coudn't travel across them. The scary part was flying extremely slow through Xeno territory without the ability to sail across the lanes. I would have panicked, but we were well protected with multiple escorts. No signs of Xenos were discovered.
On the way back from Beaumont, we picked up more Slaves and took the Virginia System on through the Omicrons back to Malta. Along the way, right on the other side of a trade lane, we ran into a very surprised member of the Order. The ships callsign was Order|Epsilon-1. I don't think he was expecting a convoy of such size and force. We greeted him politely, and left him wondering what we might do.
Following the return to active duty of the sisters Akiyama Ahmya and Akiyama Mayu, we have observed that they can handle themself outside the confines of our stations and being contributive to our organisation. Both have been bestowed the rank of Yūrei.

Suzuki Himari and Chou Tsuji have both been promoted to the rank of Karyūdo.
Amaririsu Kiri was chosen to be a new officer in the logistics division and has been assigned the rank of Katanamochi
Matsumoto Hotaru is assigned the rank of Senjōzaki for being one of our best fighter pilots and her ability to pass on some of her experience to our newer recruits.
Hinohara Yuuko has rejoined the inner leadership circles as Shirei-kan. We will honor her request that she won't be pulled away from Misaki too often. Therefore Yunoki Misaki is put under her jurisdiction. Which also means that Sada needs to complain to Yuuko from now on when Misaki does something wrong.

Well, today marks our first battle commanding the Tatsumaki, which is surprisingly excellent at breaking apart tiny little gunboats! If only we'd gotten there earlier to rescue the transports, but... at least we avenged them?
Especially annoying, small, KSP cruisers. A regular annoyance with the callsign Minato_Takahashi. Once we got into the fight and put pressure on them, it seems all they could do is quake in fear at the might of our punishment. They practically gave themselves up, and after the gunboat was scrapped, all that was left was the VHF, which we supported against using disruptor missiles to ensure they could not escape. Our fellow sister, Matsumoto Hotaru was the one to take the kill.
But! We didn't shoot our guns. Wouldn't dare to interrupt a duel like that, that's like, so rude! We only performed an act of... uh, karma, so to speak. Anyways, the important part is that they're both dead, and your stars saved the day! Signing off!
[08.05.2022 19:25:29] GC-Tatsumaki: SA: Well, looks like we have some bad bad people to punish!
[08.05.2022 19:25:40] GC-Tatsumaki: SE: Let's get em, sis. all hands to battlestations!
[08.05.2022 19:28:52] Death: Minato_Takahashi was put out of action by GC-Tatsumaki (Gun).
[08.05.2022 19:30:03] GC-Tatsumaki: SA: Tatsumaki standing by for assistance! They won't be getting away!
[08.05.2022 19:31:03] Death: Yuki.Sinon was put out of action by GC-Matsumoto.Hotaru (Mine).
Yesterday we got some Info about the Transfer of some of our Captured Sisters from Liberty to Kusari. We had to act fast so that they don't end up in the Hellhole called Fuchu Prison. The Sisters were Captured by the Liberty Navy as they Brought some Shige to Liberty. Together with sister Misaki and a Team of our Best Fighters we were able to Capture the Oasis Liner as it was in the Dark Matter Storm that Covers the Kepler system. The Crew of the Prison Liner offered only little Resistance as we Boarded the Ship so that was in better shape than we had expected.
After a Litle Check of the Systems, we Decided to Keep the Liner and Bring it back to Kinkaku-ji after we made a Stop at the Noshima Freeport to Search the Ship Intensly for Potential Tracking Devices. The ship is Currently Moored at Kinkaku-ji and in the Care of our Sisters from the Engineering Department. They will Rip the Prison Cells out and install Cargo space for our Logistics needs. I have named the ship Tetsuhana or the Iron Flower. It is a Big Ship and should become a good addition to our Logistics Fleet. Arigato to Sister Misaki for helping us Capture the Ship, it will help Supply our Sisters and our Friends with the Delicious Shige.

[size=large]Konnichiwa, Sisters.
I must admit, it's been some time since I've been of any use in the field for the Gen'an. Between dealing with various things in my life among others things, I've not had much chance to get out in space.
We were escorting one of our liners to Alpha and on the return trip, we happened across a Kusari Intelligence Officer by the name of Yuzu Takeda and an accompanying Gunboat. Not entirely sure what came of their gunboat, but I dealt with the Fighter and was victorious. He fought well, I'll give him that.
Looks like it was round two with that Minato_Takahashi. I don't know what the hell happened with the Tatsumaki but I think another sister commanded it without my permission because my quarters are all out of place. Damn it! Well, whatever. Some Outcast gunboat tagged along with us and apparently was deaf or couldn't hear our comms, because I told him multiple times that I called dibs on the damn thing. He just dove in anyways and stole my kill, but not before the gunboat retreated to backup by automated station turrets and a battleship. Then I finally had clearance to jump in because of the change in balance, and we wiped it pretty easily. Thank god for cerberus turrets.
[19.05.2022 17:49:09] Minato_Takahashi: Scanners indicating four hostiles
[19.05.2022 17:49:17] SkyShip: police pls leave the system

[19.05.2022 17:50:07] SkyShip: you have 10 sek for leave
[19.05.2022 17:50:17] GC-Tatsumaki: T: Oi, Outcast, stand down. They're mine.
[19.05.2022 17:50:19] Minato_Takahashi: Negative, maintaining position
[19.05.2022 17:50:22] Takeda.Yuzu: So, two gunboats and two fightrs.
[19.05.2022 17:50:29] SkyShip: ok all guns ready
[19.05.2022 17:50:32] Minato_Takahashi: Hai
[19.05.2022 17:50:36] GC-Matsumoto.Hotaru: Haha, this Outcast captain is entertaining
[19.05.2022 17:50:43] GC-Tatsumaki: T: You got wax in your ears, Outcast? Stand down!
[19.05.2022 17:50:56] GC-Tatsumaki: T: That police gunboat is mine.
[19.05.2022 17:51:01] SkyShip: time to die scums
[19.05.2022 17:51:06] Minato_Takahashi: Takeda, follow me
[19.05.2022 17:51:16] GC-Tatsumaki: T: Is this guy deaf?
[19.05.2022 17:51:17] Takeda.Yuzu: It appears your ''friend'' is stubborn.
[19.05.2022 17:51:29] Minato_Takahashi: Takeda
[19.05.2022 17:51:32] Takeda.Yuzu: Seems so.
[19.05.2022 17:51:35] Minato_Takahashi: Come, now
[19.05.2022 17:51:47] Minato_Takahashi: There is no reason to die in vain
[19.05.2022 17:52:14] GC-Tatsumaki: T: Where do you think you're going?
[19.05.2022 17:52:28] GC-Matsumoto.Akira: What's going on here, then?
[19.05.2022 17:52:29] Minato_Takahashi: Weapons hot!
[19.05.2022 17:52:37] GC-Tatsumaki: T: Already shooting, huh? Fine by me, I love it this way.
[19.05.2022 17:52:39] Takeda.Yuzu: *chuckles*
[19.05.2022 17:52:39] GC-Matsumoto.Hotaru: This is becoming a bit chaotic. I guess I will just observe how it plays out
[19.05.2022 17:52:40] GC-Matsumoto.Akira: This seems handled.
[19.05.2022 17:53:09] GC-Tatsumaki: T: Outcast, you baka.
[19.05.2022 17:53:18] Minato_Takahashi: ?: Take the tradelane to Tsushima, we should have backup there
[19.05.2022 17:53:31] Takeda.Yuzu: I think you should punish him... or her, ladies.
[19.05.2022 17:53:43] GC-Tatsumaki: T: Stop running and fight, coward!
[19.05.2022 17:53:46] Takeda.Yuzu: Deaf people are kind of.... a problem.
[19.05.2022 17:54:03] GC-Triad-4: Hold it right there
[19.05.2022 17:54:09] Takeda.Yuzu: Lady.
[19.05.2022 17:54:09] GC-Tatsumaki: T: Guns on standby because this idiot doesn't listen. I wanted to get down and dirty.
[19.05.2022 17:54:14] GC-Triad-4: Yes?
[19.05.2022 17:54:29] GC-Tatsumaki: T: But I hate unfair fights. So the stupid gaijin gets the kill now. Damn it.
[19.05.2022 17:54:40] Takeda.Yuzu: Why cutting my way?
[19.05.2022 17:54:52] GC-Triad-4: Anyone else wants this one? Else I will handle it
[19.05.2022 17:55:04] GC-Matsumoto.Akira: I'll take them.
[19.05.2022 17:55:10] GC-Triad-4: Fine by me
[19.05.2022 17:55:11] GC-Matsumoto.Akira: How about it, Yuzu?
[19.05.2022 17:55:20] Takeda.Yuzu: *sigh*
[19.05.2022 17:55:24] GC-Matsumoto.Hotaru: *shrugs* It doesn't matter to me
[19.05.2022 17:55:28] Takeda.Yuzu: So that's what she lives...
[19.05.2022 17:55:29] GC-Matsumoto.Akira: Powering up weapons. Going offensive.
[19.05.2022 17:55:31] Death: 5th|Charlotte.Wilkes: suffered a self-inflicted catastrophic decompression.
[19.05.2022 17:55:38] Takeda.Yuzu: Alright.
[19.05.2022 17:55:40] GC-Matsumoto.Akira: Let's fight with honor.
[19.05.2022 17:55:59] GC-Matsumoto.Hotaru: Good luck, sister!
[19.05.2022 17:57:12] GC-Tatsumaki: T: This isn't the first time we've heard of this cowardice from the police...
[19.05.2022 17:58:06] GC-Tatsumaki: T: The Dragons also told us about a little fly that keeps running to his buddies when he's losing. Guess I should hop in to-
[19.05.2022 17:58:08] GC-Tatsumaki: Even things out.
[19.05.2022 17:58:33] GC-Tatsumaki: T: All hands to battlestations!
[19.05.2022 18:00:13] Death: Minato_Takahashi was put out of action by SkyShip (Gun).
[19.05.2022 18:00:22] GC-Tatsumaki: T: What a moron.
[19.05.2022 18:00:32] GC-Triad-4: So much for his honor
I was tipped off that a large Samura transport was in New London filled to the brim with Liberty Ale. Turned out my intel was correct as evidenced by the following picture that I took at the scene.
But then the question arose on what to do with the remaining spaceborne booze. I didn't want it to go to waste, so I decided to transmit a signal to everyone in the system to come pick it up for a price. To my surprise the offer was answered to one of the ships of All World Enterprises. You know, those guys from that station in Shikoku. I sold the stuff to him, but he also transmitted me a bunch of codes to contact them. They seem to want to do business with us.
I will send the codes to whoever is going to work on this thing. They are safely stored on my ship's computers and I have no clue what to do with it. Details are in the logs below.

[24.05.2022 23:38:45] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: You are the first to come here
[24.05.2022 23:38:50] AWES-Opportunity: was your call open to all?
[24.05.2022 23:39:02] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Found this collection of booze and I cant carry all of it
[24.05.2022 23:39:18] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: two million and you can take all that remains
[24.05.2022 23:39:25] AWES-Opportunity: well, I can do that deal
[24.05.2022 23:39:43] [2022-05-24] 23:39:42 You have received 2.000.000 credits from AWES-Opportunity
[24.05.2022 23:39:53] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: And yes I reduced the fee for AWES
[24.05.2022 23:39:54] AWES-Opportunity: now can you do us a favor?
[24.05.2022 23:39:58] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Sure?
[24.05.2022 23:40:39] AWES-Opportunity: Our executives have issued our captains a directive should we come across any GC in our travels...
[24.05.2022 23:40:57] AWES-Opportunity: apparently they are interested in opening up a dialogue with leadership
[24.05.2022 23:41:12] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Hmm. I can pass that message along
[24.05.2022 23:41:19] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Any specifics?
[24.05.2022 23:41:22] AWES-Opportunity: I have a code for transmisisons I'm to provide

[24.05.2022 23:41:36] AWES-Opportunity: *code sent*
[24.05.2022 23:42:10] AWES-Opportunity: our chief of intelligence is eager to try and see if we have mutual goals
[24.05.2022 23:42:35] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: So... how do I use these codes?
[24.05.2022 23:42:41] AWES-Opportunity: very funny to meet you out here though! They'll never believe me at base!
[24.05.2022 23:43:11] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Well, I was lured by the smell of Liberty ale
[24.05.2022 23:43:22] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: And seems like I hit paydirt
[24.05.2022 23:43:29] AWES-Opportunity: Those frequencies will be to a secure channel... just hailing them will get the private channel to our intel chief
[24.05.2022 23:43:43] AWES-Opportunity: nice
[24.05.2022 23:43:55] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Alright... I will see what Yume makes of this

[24.05.2022 23:44:19] AWES-Opportunity: If all goes well, I'm told he could arrange a meet around our Shikoku HQ
[24.05.2022 23:44:28] AWES-Opportunity: we thank you
[24.05.2022 23:44:41] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Well we will be in touch then

[24.05.2022 23:45:05] AWES-Opportunity: we will!
I was away for a while, not taking part in our merry raids against the chauvinist scum. However, I can't call this time wasted - I was in Malta, working for an important Maltese - de Motti is the family, some of you may remember this family, one of the founders of Cadiz Cartel. It looks like these guys are planning to return to the big game and they hint that they remember how useful Gen'an was compared to other cells. Seems like it's about to get fun.
