So many cycles have passed that I have become uncertain as to where I stand with my sisters. I remember a time where we dreamt in unity. Alas... years of wound licking in a cell and the world turns.
I request permission to harbour my shuttle at Kinkaku-ji. My intentions are to meet those who crusade in Matsuda's name, and make peace with you all.
...I understand if, regrettably, peace cannot be found. Petals fall, yet Ajisai grow anew in the summer. If it is to be the case then may fate play it's hand."

Konnichiwa Sister,
I believe we haven't met before. I am Taishō Kiri, Matriarch of the Golden Chrysanthemum Gen'an Movement. Your frequency indicates you are a Chrysanthemum so you are ofcourse welcome on the Shrine Base Kinkaku-ji.
I chose to take up this transmission personally because you piqued my interest. Your encryption is unfamiliar to us. What cell did you originate from? Do not be concerned about our stance towards you. Time does not fade the bonds that connects us, it only strenghtens it. Just as Matsuda's ideals live on through us.
You speak of a cell. I take from this that you either escaped or were recently released. Are you in need of medical aid or any other form of support?
In better circumstance... I would open a video communication and pay proper respects to your position. Please forgive my brevity.
I am need of medical aid - my right arm is peppered with metallic shards, with a loss of sensation. I also humbly request for Cardamine to be available on landing. There has been a distinct lack of it since the departure from Honshu and I ...urgh... I can feel my skin crawling.
I am Hana Ken, first, aaar... first of the Sisterhood of Dreams. A KSP black site on Honshu has been my prison for... stars... two years? Three? I think I was being transferred when the train was attacked. I do not know by whom. I made an escape then.
I didn't believe you were still alive, we were looking for you but there was no trace nor proof you were still among the living.
Come back to Kinkaku-ji and find me on deck 3, I will take care of your arm and needed supply for Cardamine. Old sisters will unite once more.
Matriarch, I can handle the stuff for Hana Ken if you need someone to look after her for a while, we used to be in same cell so I know her well. She was one of the sisters which accepted me and Yoshigahara into GC. I can vouch for her.

Sato-san, I need you to go with Kiwako Kiku to meet Hana Ken at Kinkaku-ji's docks. She requires medical assistence upon arrival and take a supply of cardamine with you. Known injuries are metal shrapnel in the right arm and loss of sensation.
Kiwako-san, since you seem to know her, I will leave her into your care. If there is anything you require, contact me. I have sent Emiko to support you with her medical expertise.
Ken-san, I am interested to meet with you in person as soon as you regain your strenght. With Sato and Kiwako, you are in good hands
Kiku... my dear sister... I feel blessed by the stars to know that you are still alive and well, and a priestess no less! I trust time has been kind to you, but we shall have the chance to converse properly soon enough. My shuttle has made it into the Shikoki system and I have nearly made it to Kinkaku-ji.
...
Your readiness to help me is overwhelming. Thank you. I look forward to meeting you all.
