Everything since Maehara was destroyed has.. for lack of a better word, been better than expected - the expected having been our personnel turning on the High Command. We're doing okay for ourselves on the Utsunomiya, what with hydroponics keeping us alive and well fed, however, the Seraphine is currently combat ineffective. We're in a holding pattern in deep space, and have been using a unique technique for jumping using its' jump drive to move the fleet slowly over time, culling the time to destination from 29 years to about 6 months. In the intervening time, We've had no connection to the Neural Net, and as such, We are in the dark about what has happened in the past months. As such, I've been tasked with finding out - and as such, I'm going alone.

No Harpies.. none of my escorts.. it all feels so.. alien. I feel like where we were when Hanamura-sensei fled from Kusari all those years ago.. except all I have is myself.. It feels like so long ago, now.

I'm only now reentering known space.. The only reliable contacts I have are in Natio Octivarium. I'm going to make contact with Taskmaster Kane and the Natio and find out what all has happened. After that.. I've been tasked with trying to find allies in the Sigmas and vicinity that could work with us once we return to Sirius. Personally.. I grow tired of the speeches, the calls to order Hanamura-sensei keeps declaring. We're not rioting, but if anything, we're all just depressed that things went south so fast. It's as if there was a concentrated effort to bring us down at word go by the powers that be.

But I digress.. She's assured me that we're going to return, come hell or high water.. I will hold her to that. I love her dearly.. but I'm not as naive as I used to be.

I've hailed Taskmaster Kane and I should be able to land this fighter at Canberra. From there I'm going to request an appointment with the Natio to discuss matters. I think they'll understand our dilemma. From what I've heard the Natio has had to do dissapearing acts before.
