Hmph. Hajime mashite, friend. That will be the last time you mention that name though.

The Golden Chrysanthemums are not what they used to be anymore. The young ones are far too concerned with trivial issues and I'm afraid the current leadership has lost sight of our real goals. To answer your question - yes, I do still have my old Blossom around. It can fly but is in very poor shape, unfortunately. Regardless, It is not safe for me to talk from where I am. We must meet. I will arrange for the ship to be delivered to Ames station in Kepler and I will be escorting it.

See you soon.
