Naval Operations Headquarters [Message Dump]

Salute,

On the 16th of August at approximately 1336, I, Captain Kiyoko Hayashimura of the 66th Division, proceeded to conduct a patrol into the Frankfurt system of the Federal Republic of Rheinland in accordance with the Rheinland Treaty of the 13th of June of the year 820. During my trip through the Sigma-13 system, I encountered a fighter squadron from the Rheinwher commandeered by Admiral Driedrik Sterr as well as a GMG detachment presumably led by Guildmaster Kara Yukari in the close vicinity of Helgoland station. Unfortunately, I was only able to catch a glimpse of the conversation before the GMG ships proceeded to dock on the station.

However, I was granted the opportunity to converse with Admiral Sterr as a representative of the Kusari Kaigun. Admiral Sterr expressed his concern to the latest GMG actions towards Rheinland and in the Sigmas, claiming that the GMG Guildmaster had opened fire on his ship as the Rheinwher officers were enforcing the Sigmas Treaty signed between the Federal Republic of Rheinland and the Gas Miners Guild. I was relayed to a news article published by the Rheinland Imperator, a Rheinland newsletter, the article expressed concern and materialistic evidence of the GMG's association and possible alliance with Rheinland criminal and terrorist organizations such as the Red Hessians Army, as well as intergalactic terrorist organizations such as the Sirius Coalition Revolutionary Army. It is not far fetched that the GMG would collaborate more openly with criminal organizations inside of Kusari if they had already declared their association with Rheinland terrorist organizations. Thus, in accordance with the responsibilities given to me by attaining my rank, I took the opportunity to express the Naval Forces concern of the GMG's actions and reassured the welfare of Kusari's good relations with our Rheinland neighbors. In addition, Admiral Sterr approved my request to relay evidence and more information regarding the GMG's latest actions to the Kaigun; thus, the admiralty circle should be expecting a communication soon. Following the conversation, I was given the liberty to join the Rheinwher pilots on their way back to Frankfurt where the Rheinwher pilots departed for their headquarters in Munich.

At approximately 1709, two hostile dragon ship under the affiliation of the Tears of Izanagi subgroup were spotted in the vicinity of the Tau-37 jump hole in the Nagano system. My orders for the pilot to stop were met with compliance. Thus, I proceeded to interrogate the pilots about their presence and assignment; nothing of significant interest despite their willingness to put a stop to the Cardamine trade through Kusari. The Dragons expressed their neutral and indecisive stance towards the terrorist organization of the Golden Chrysanthemums, I attempted to manipulate the pilots into convincing their leaders to denounce the Chrysanthemums to help put an end to the Cardamine business in Kusari. However, the pilots were mindless warriors, seemingly incapable of expressing their own thoughts or advice to their leader; thus, the outcome of the discussion is yet to be known. Taking into consideration that I was outnumbered two-to-one against the Dragons, and as a token for their cooperation, I escorted the Dragons to their battleship, Kokura before departing for Matsumoto.

On another note, the 66th Expeditionary Taskforce has not received any new orders following the call back to Kusari from the Omicrons as the Exiles captured planet Kyushu. The 66th efforts have been mainly focused on enforcing the 2nd Fleet against the Exile forces. However, as the conflict seems to be calming down, the 66th is requesting new directives from the admiralty board.

That is the end of my report. Unity! Honor! Vigilance!

Hayashimura signing off.
