Subject: After Action Report - Jump Drive Expedition
Priority: High

As part of a mission to test our capabilities with the experimental jump drive technology, the IKN Harukaze took part in an expedition using Tohoku as the main staging point. We were instructed to not divulge any information to personnel not of Gold Class clearance about our destination. The primary goal was to secure and retrieve the long-lost IKN Niyodo back into Kusari.

Unfortunately, intelligence reports have uncovered Liberty's motives for the Niyodo. Fortunately, our fleet arrived just in time, but not upon learning the existence of a heavy lifter called "Argonaut-3". After analysis was done, our priority soon changed to retrieving the lifter back to Kusari for analysis. We were prepared for a possible conflict with Liberty, however they brought a whole fleet determined to secure the ship in their hands.

While we suffered numerous losses attempting to retrieve the Argonaut, it jumped to Kepler, where we faced an unexpected threat in the form of Lane Hackers. With most of our fleet battered from Liberty's unprovoked attack, they forced us to retreat to Shikoku, where the IKN Harukaze is undergoing repairs for the time being. Reinforcements sent into the border were sufficient to deal with a surprise Liberty attack in Galileo. Eventually, the Argonaut was last seen headed to Liberty, but further intelligence shows that the Hackers were in control of it.

Though the end result was quite unfortunate for our side, we are fortunate Liberty has not seized the Argonaut for their own purposes. In the meantime, I recommend increasing border security in case a future war breaks out between Kusari and Liberty.

Sixty-Sixth's Itsumaden reporting in. I bring terrible news.

Following proximity alerts of a large warship near Heaven's Gate, a standard sweep was conducted. The wreckage of the IKN-Numazu was located slowly drifting towards the Izu Field, seemingly destroyed in battle with either Order or Dragon forces.

Ichigaya and the Arch report no communications or calls for aid by the vessel, albeit they were able to confirm it was scheduled to arrive at Ichigaya later today. A local KOI contingent and Ichigaya's salvage wing are already about tow the remnants to the drydocks. They have requested from me to inquiry about the possibility of utilizing the wreck for one of their next experiments. Personally, I would say that we let them. The near magical results of the past years make me believe that they will find better use for the wreckage than salvaging it at Yokohama.

Apologize me overstepping the ranking order, but I urge the NOH and command to facilitate new standard routines given the frequency of assaults surrounding the Arch and our current distraction due to Liberty's foolish games. The Sixty-Sixth will remain at the Arch to assist the KOI in repelling hostile incursions, but we are unable to muster the amount of warships that may be required for this task. We are spreading our forces thin but we cannot falter.

In service of Kusari,
