It's been awhile since my last writing. I guess I'll have some days to catch up now. At the moment I'm in the medical ward after a confrontation with the Aoi Iseijin in this system.

Yesterday I lost my fighter during the fights in the Taus. It was a strange spectacle, so much war and bloodshed happening so near to our borders. Such bloodshed would have reached our planets if the decision to stop the war had not been taken. It is this young peace, this fragile republic that the Navy defends.
The situation out there is complicated, I'm sure of that now. But even inside Kusari, and even amongst the KNF there are dangers.

I had heard from the veterans that a year ago a full division had deserted our ranks for unknown reason and escaped Kusari. Many guessed that the mysterious disappearance of a high ranking official during operations in the Taus was the reason, but no official report was issued, and rumors stood just as rumors.

However, certain events have brought these issues back to the fore. The missing division suddenly returned to Kyushu and surrendered to our forces. Apparently their leaders were of great interest to high command, for several operations were halted and many squadrons were put in high alert.

A certain task force was assembled in New Tokyo and instructions were given to it's members. According to intelligence gathered from the deserters, a high ranking officer had been cooperating with foreign organizations to weaken the strength of the navy, and was in the process of defecting.
The taskforce encountered the fleeing officer aboard his battle cruiser in the New Tokyo System. The officer was none other than the Kaisho Nagata of the main fleet.
A long pursuit to the north ended in Tohoku, were the fleeing vessel led it's pursuers into a trap. To my surprise his allies were the iseijin, the humans who had become possessed by alien entities, and the vice-admiral was amongst them. Their forces overwhelmed the destroyers leading the taskforce and proceeded to eliminate all of the navy forces.
I was amongst the pilots shot down, and only by luck did reinforcements from the battleship Sado prevented the capture of many of the stranded pilots.

I have been wounded on my shoulder, and while it's not critical, it will take some days before I'm transfered to Hiroshima or New Tokyo for full recovery. Doctor said it would take at least a week to be discharged from the hospital, and probably a month until I could recover completely from it.
