if you are getting this message, you should be already awaken from pod stasis. I made sure that dirty Cardi addict won't make you his slave and I delivered you to the Freeport 6 in Tau-29. You fought like a true warrior against that Outcast.
However weird it may sound, I hope you will take care about yourself. Kusari needs people like you.
I am always proud to witness people of our House fight for what they believe to be right.
You are furthermore a lady true to her word. I wish the current political situation allowed us to call each other friends.
That said, I would humbly advise you to be more careful with your promises.
Mercy is sadly often a weakness, and I doubt your hierarchy would be glad to hear you released someone as involved in the creation of the Republic as I am.
You are perhaps belonging to House Mori. Contrary to what your pilots seem to believe, only a very few noble houses lost their status, following the proclamation of the Republic.
Perhaps I could inquire about them and give them some news from you.
"A lady true to her word"? Oh my, this is why I hate written word on the Neural Net. Don't let my appearance distract you, dear lady. I truly hate my "gift" of looking more like a female - some say I'm even feminine enough to fit one of these Blossom Class fighters!
With jokes aside, yes, I do belong to the House Mori - to the branch who was loyal to the Emperor however. The branch that indirectly was in control of fiefs inside Kyushu System (more correctly, Planet Kyushu, southern hemisphere) was completely wiped out - all but me did not survive the, sadly successful, massacre.
As for your advice, heed my word dear lady: we do not fight against Kusari itself, but against threat that may shatter it and destroy it. On a more private note, I, one of few, can understand the movement that has taken place in order to prevent destruction of our Nation, yet my loyality stays with the Emperor as I feel obligated to fulfill my duties.
All in all, I respect your obligation to the Republic, good warrior always fulfill his duties towards the master. Let us both pray that we will never met on the battlefield, if forced to do so.
Maybe one day we could be able to call ourselves "friends".
I assumed you were a female because of your first name, Tsuzumi. I should remember such a first name is indeed gender agnostic.
What happened to your family is tragic. Please accept my sincere condolences. I did not recall the Republic taking such terrible measures. There were indeed some troubles on planet Kyushu, however.
Such an unrest always is a threat for citizens safety and rule of law, as you certainly know.
That said;
I have to say my orderly couldn't help laughing when reading those transmissions.
He eventually said "Maybe in ancient Naval Forces traditions, losing to outcasts brands you a woman in front of your peers.". Yet I do not remember it. Perhaps I should order a search in the archives of the Admiralty.
The embarassment of yours is to be returned with my own embarassment. I also thought I was talking with a lady, for what I am sorry. I believe we can both agree communication through NNCC is the most flawled way of such. Ever.
Privately speaking, My own superior - who is aware of me sending messages to you - had to walk out from the room and bursted out a loud laughter, when she heard I was taken for a girl. It took her long minutes to stop, I must shamefully admit.
Please accept my deepest apologies once again for this double-sided misunderstandment in communication. As Libertonians would say, "we are even" in this matter.
