Yo- Konnichiwa,

At 1915, during a raid on Imperial occupied space in Kyushu, I was intercepted by an Imperial unit in the vicinity of planet Kyushu. Following a prolonged discussion and some rather rude statements by the imperial towards me, an engagement occurred between the two of us. Thankfully, Itto Kai Isayama was present to take my pod back home in case I fail. But I did not, the imperial ship was neutralized. During our trip back to New Tokyo, we were halted by another imperial ship. Unfortunately, Isayama-san failed to eliminate the target and was ejected out of his ship. The Imperial managed to slip away before I was able to react properly. Isayama's pod was recovered and was delivered to Nagumo for medical checks.

That should be it, I suppose.

Arigato.

[21.04.2017 16:45:23] [22.04.2017 19:14:32] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: Konbanwa!
[22.04.2017 19:14:45] {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi: You have quite the nerve, pilot. Greetings.
[22.04.2017 19:14:51] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: Oh?
[22.04.2017 19:15:23] {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi: Well, either that or the news about the new - or old- authoritieson Kyushu have not reached you yet.
[22.04.2017 19:15:31] {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi: Nonetheless a bold move to pass like this
[22.04.2017 19:16:36] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: It has reached us, but I don't acknowledge it.
[22.04.2017 19:17:07] {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi: Good thing you don't have to acknowledge the facts for them to be real
[22.04.2017 19:17:18] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: And I don't know who has the nerves here, the last time I saw you, you took the lane back to Tsushima as soon as you saw me in
[22.04.2017 19:17:20] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: scanner range.
[22.04.2017 19:17:38] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: If you plan to capture a system, you should be able to defend it properly.
[22.04.2017 19:18:16] {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi: Did I? Shame on me for not registering the fly you are on my sensors, but I had more urgent issues to deal with than a lone
[22.04.2017 19:18:17] {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi: fool.
[22.04.2017 19:19:14] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: Funny how you all seem to underestimate this 'fly', but in the end your ships becoem wreckage.
[22.04.2017 19:19:24] {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi: So, is that what brings you here I guess? To test out our forces? To scout? Or simply to annoy
[22.04.2017 19:19:40] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: Words are tough, Imperial. Don't speak words you are't able to uphold with actions.
[22.04.2017 19:20:15] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: Maybe all three of those. Watching annoyed imperials is very entertaining to me.
[22.04.2017 19:21:07] {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi: I know what your kind is capable of very well. Which does not make this a fragment less questionable to me.
[22.04.2017 19:21:32] {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi: However, yyou do not need to tell me that words mean little in this world. Actions speak often for themselves.
[22.04.2017 19:21:43] {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi: Myy actions. The actions of your kind. Anyones.
[22.04.2017 19:22:06] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: Prove it then.
[22.04.2017 19:22:15] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: Or don't actually.
[22.04.2017 19:22:39] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: Not that it would matter to me, I'll just be flying here doing my job.
[22.04.2017 19:23:29] {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi: I am sure you would prefer the latter. Others said the same thing. That did not stop me. So, what will your actions be when I
[22.04.2017 19:23:49] {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi: will take it upon me to strike you down, and, eventually, what you dare to stand for?
[22.04.2017 19:24:45] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: Uphold my duty as a soldier of Kusari and take you down. Simple and crystal clear.
[22.04.2017 19:25:55] {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi: Very well. Then there is no avoiding our swords crossing here, today. But before that, answer me one question if you will.
[22.04.2017 19:26:14] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: Hai?
[22.04.2017 19:27:07] {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi: Where were when they let our house die? When they left us behind? Were you doing your duty as a soldier? Or were you not just
[22.04.2017 19:27:18] {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi: the thug that rammed the knife in your friend's back?
[22.04.2017 19:28:03] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: You're knocking on the wrong doors, imperial. It was -you- who put yourselves in this position, not the Republic.
[22.04.2017 19:28:17] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: You rap what you sow.
[22.04.2017 19:28:23] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: reap, rather.
[22.04.2017 19:28:57] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: It was not the Republic that waged wars on multiple fronts and weakened Kusari, it was your naiive emperor.
[22.04.2017 19:29:21] {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi: The Republic is nothing but another humiliation imposed on us by those who broke this nation's spirit. You cannot betray what
[22.04.2017 19:29:25] {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi: by all rights should not be.
[22.04.2017 19:29:28] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: So you should be asking that question to yourself.
[22.04.2017 19:30:13] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: I'm rather sure the hundreds that died to your empire's mistakes would disagree.
[22.04.2017 19:30:20] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: If you honor the dead at all.
[22.04.2017 19:31:04] {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi: I honour them every waking moment. I honour the wingmen at my side who fell in Tau-31 when you abandoned us. I honour those
[22.04.2017 19:31:06] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: You're free to say that you claim whatever you want, but in the end, it is only in your mind
[22.04.2017 19:31:30] {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi: who were captured by you and had not the luck I did. I honour those who have to live under your rule.
[22.04.2017 19:31:52] {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi: And revenge will restore their legacy
[22.04.2017 19:32:20] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: Unironically, delusion clouds your minds.
[22.04.2017 19:32:47] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: Yet also unironically, the imperials also throw the blame of their mistakes at others.
[22.04.2017 19:33:12] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: The deaths of those people are all on your emperor's hands.
[22.04.2017 19:33:48] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: Yo, Isayama-san!
[22.04.2017 19:33:49] {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi: It might, it might not. After all, war makes man mad. But, Republican, there are always two sides of the medal. And I dare say
[22.04.2017 19:33:59] {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi: the blood on yours looks alot more atrocious
[22.04.2017 19:34:11] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: And so would an imperial say.
[22.04.2017 19:34:35] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: Yo?
[22.04.2017 19:35:14] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: An odd greeting.
[22.04.2017 19:35:21] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: Despite the 'efforts' of your empire, we were able to stop further bloodshed with the Gauls.
[22.04.2017 19:35:48] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: E-Eh.. Nevermind that.
[22.04.2017 19:35:59] {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi: You think you stopped it? You have not seen these monsters' bloodlust. They came here to kill. Not to conquer, but to slaughter
[22.04.2017 19:36:03] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: Currently dealing with a really- really annoying Imperial.
[22.04.2017 19:36:13] {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi: And you became their willing assistant.
[22.04.2017 19:36:14] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: Oh. Are you engaged in a fight?
[22.04.2017 19:36:28] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: Do you see us fighting the Bretonians and Libertonians with the Gauls, Imperial?
[22.04.2017 19:37:04] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: If you count yourselves as part of the bloodshed, then unfortunately for you, you're out of the equation.
[22.04.2017 19:37:13] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: Iie. Not yet.
[22.04.2017 19:37:38] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: Unlike you, we have the ability to co-exist with our nations.
[22.04.2017 19:37:58] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: I am on my way.
[22.04.2017 19:38:08] {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi: No, I will give you that. But that puts you only merely above them. And the only thing you have is the ability to let your
[22.04.2017 19:38:11] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: Whereas you only follow your lust for power and wage war on nations.
[22.04.2017 19:38:22] {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi: allegiance swing in the wind
[22.04.2017 19:38:48] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: Tch. Hypocrites. The empire was no different than what the Gauls are now.
[22.04.2017 19:39:08] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: So now you go honorful and all once you've taken a taste of your own poison?
[22.04.2017 19:39:18] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: Your double-standards disgust me.
[22.04.2017 19:40:03] {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi: Your ignorance disgusts me just as well. Were you even around to witness the war the the Bretonians? There was a cause, a clear
[22.04.2017 19:40:35] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: Konbanwa.
[22.04.2017 19:40:39] {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi: goal and a clear code of warfare that we always obliged. And the conflict was almost settled when you showed your ugly faces
[22.04.2017 19:40:49] {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi: back at ho- oh see. The fly is procreating.
[22.04.2017 19:41:11] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: Yo! Isayama-san.
[22.04.2017 19:41:21] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: Again with the yo..
[22.04.2017 19:41:23] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: Anyway.
[22.04.2017 19:41:23] {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi: Greetings, pilot.
[22.04.2017 19:41:28] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: What is happening here then?
[22.04.2017 19:41:41] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: Nothing. Just your regular annoying imperial.
[22.04.2017 19:42:32] {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi: It is bad enough that you stand on the side that you are on, Republican. Don't make it worth with this childish attitude
[22.04.2017 19:42:50] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: You're a funny person.
[22.04.2017 19:42:56] {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi: You, other one, I suggest to keep your wingmen in check a little better.
[22.04.2017 19:43:31] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: He's my wingman- Wait. Am I your wingman, or are you my wingman?
[22.04.2017 19:43:34] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: What's wrong with Ryuzoji-kun that I would need to keep her in check more?
[22.04.2017 19:43:58] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: Since we are of the same rank, seniority decides who is in command.
[22.04.2017 19:44:09] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: Hmm.
[22.04.2017 19:44:31] {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi: Just listen to her. That's not the conduct of a warrior. What, are they using conscripts now to fill your ranks or do they just
[22.04.2017 19:44:37] {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi: not care about proper training anymore?
[22.04.2017 19:45:08] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: Hah. Naiive. Being a soldier isn't only about the muscles.
[22.04.2017 19:45:11] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: Ryuzoji-san went through training like any other Naval Forces pilot.
[22.04.2017 19:45:18] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: Even though, I can tell you that I have those.
[22.04.2017 19:45:44] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: I'm not quite informed about her age, but the way she talks may be related to her youth.
[22.04.2017 19:46:06] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: What Isayama-san said is correct. If you don't believe it, I'm more than willing to demonstrate.
[22.04.2017 19:46:30] {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi: Then there either were some flaws in her upbringing or in the mental preparation during trainings. But go ahead, demonstrate.
[22.04.2017 19:46:43] {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi: This conversation is starting to turn in circles anyway, sadly.
[22.04.2017 19:47:27] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: Very well. And I can give you my word that if you manage to take me out -- even though I doubt it -- Isayama-san will leave you
[22.04.2017 19:47:39] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: alone. Will you not, Isayama-san?
[22.04.2017 19:47:46] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: Uhm..
[22.04.2017 19:48:01] {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi: Don't fool yourselves, you won't.
[22.04.2017 19:48:02] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: Are you sure you want that?
[22.04.2017 19:48:11] {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi: But I cannot deny an offer for a proper duel.
[22.04.2017 19:48:17] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: Well. I'd want someone to take my pod back home, you know.
[22.04.2017 19:48:42] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: But you won't need to do that.
[22.04.2017 19:48:57] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: Right.
[22.04.2017 19:48:59] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: Shall we?
[22.04.2017 19:49:08] {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi: On your mark, Republican.
[22.04.2017 19:49:13] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: Koi.
[22.04.2017 19:51:49] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: You know, despite being as what you said 'a childish person', I'm quite reliable.
[22.04.2017 19:52:16] {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi: I'll give you that
[22.04.2017 19:53:49] Death: {343}Yamamoto.K-Shoi was put out of action by [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji (Mine).
[22.04.2017 19:54:12] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: Told you, you won't be needing to do it!
[22.04.2017 19:54:22] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: Well, good job, Ryuzoji-san.
[22.04.2017 19:54:44] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: I would not have enjoyed leaving after seeing you blow up.
[22.04.2017 19:55:19] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: O-Oh. That's sweet of you.
[22.04.2017 19:55:25] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: Is it..?
[22.04.2017 19:56:09] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: I-I mean, let's head back home.
[22.04.2017 19:56:28] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: If you say so.
[22.04.2017 20:01:25] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: Uhm. No?
