Audio logs, 12th October, 804 A.S., taken from the blackbox of the Nara, a Passenger Liner.

Takeo Sen: Konbanwa, Samura Transport Nara, cut your engines.

Nara: Samura Transport Nara to Takeo Sen. Konbanwa, Dragon, as you can see, I have passengers onboard my transport, and have no wish to see them come to harm. What is it that you want?

Takeo Sen: Good, good. Then you will accede to my demand. Space that man Toshiro Hisakawa who is onboard your ship now.

Nara: What?! There is no such person on my ship.

Takeo Sen: Do not lie to me, captain. I know that he and his family are on your ship. I don't even care for them. I'm here to kill one man, and one man only. If the rest of
you have to die, so be it, but do not say that I didn't give you a way out.

Nara: Surely there must be another way! I cannot take this man's life. I'm authorised to give you credits in these situations. Perhaps you can spare this man's life?

Takeo Sen: No, there isn't. Now, I am running out of patience. Space that tyrant and I will let you, your crew and the rest of your passengers live. That man will be dead anyway. After I destroy your liner.

Nara: Wait, wait! Let me contact my superiors.

Takeo Sen: I'll give you 3 seconds. Three, two...

Nara: Fine! Fine! May I be forgiven, for this man's blood...

The woman plays the logs, over and over, listening to it for over 15 minutes. Quietly listening to every detail of an encounter that occured over 20 years ago. The name of the dragon. Takeo Sen. The most resounding detail. "I will find you." She whispers to herself. The woman leaves the room, with the audio logs still running on repeat, much to the curiosity of the Samura captain who steps into the Nara's deck 8 hours later.
