Konbanwa,

I encountered a strange signature in Honshu that I went to investigate. It was a battleship class Unioner vessel called the Sirene. I actually still have no idea what it was doing there but they told me that they were displaced there because of a hyperspace jump.

[21.10.2019 22:18:30] UN|GEIST-SLF-Sirene: essential given our current assignment."
[21.10.2019 22:18:40] GC-Hanazakari: Misaki: This ship has... oh they removed the missiles of this ship...
[21.10.2019 22:18:42] UN|GEIST-SLF-Sirene: ?: "We have been monitoring the withdrawal of the Rheinland navy."
[21.10.2019 22:19:12] GC-Hanazakari: Misaki: Hai, they are gone.
[21.10.2019 22:19:28] UN|GEIST-SLF-Sirene: ?: "Konabanwa, Miss Misaki. If that is your surname."
[21.10.2019 22:19:41] UN|GEIST-SLF-Sirene: ?: "I profess the Rheinlander in me struggles with Kusarian convention."
[21.10.2019 22:19:45] UN|GEIST-SLF-Sirene: *another chuckle.*
[21.10.2019 22:19:51] UN|GEIST-SLF-Sirene: ?: "Ah. We live and learn."
[21.10.2019 22:20:20] GC-Hanazakari: Misaki: No my surname is Yunoki
[21.10.2019 22:20:38] UN|GEIST-SLF-Sirene: Arno: "Miss... Yunoki."
[21.10.2019 22:20:40] GC-Hanazakari: Misaki: But Misaki works
[21.10.2019 22:20:53] UN|GEIST-SLF-Sirene: Arno: "Then Misaki will be our form of address."
[21.10.2019 22:21:11] GC-Hanazakari: Misaki: That works
[21.10.2019 22:21:26] UN|GEIST-SLF-Sirene: Arno: "Crysanthemum. Do you believe that the withdrawal of the Rheinland navy is in earnest?"
[21.10.2019 22:21:33] UN|GEIST-SLF-Sirene: Arno: "This is your territory, not ours."
[21.10.2019 22:21:57] UN|GEIST-SLF-Sirene: "Ideally we would rely on local partners. But this is Kusari."
[21.10.2019 22:22:09] UN|GEIST-SLF-Sirene: *another belly-laugh against the bulkheads*
[21.10.2019 22:22:11] GC-Hanazakari: Misaki: We only encounter them in sigmas right now
[21.10.2019 22:22:15] UN|GEIST-SLF-Sirene: "...and there are few of them postwar."
[21.10.2019 22:22:33] UN|GEIST-SLF-Sirene: Arno: "You hear that, crew?"
[21.10.2019 22:22:51] GC-Hanazakari: Misaki: I dislike those Rheinlanders
[21.10.2019 22:22:51] UN|GEIST-SLF-Sirene: *there's an audiable cheer in the backdrop, delayed in synthetic echo by the comm system relaying the message.*
[21.10.2019 22:23:05] GC-Hanazakari: Misaki: They trashed a few of my ships
[21.10.2019 22:23:13] UN|GEIST-SLF-Sirene: Arno: "then you and I are of the same mind."
[21.10.2019 22:23:40] UN|GEIST-SLF-Sirene: Arno: "Do not blame the soldier for the acts of the general. Although it is easy to do so. The General does not kick in the...

[21.10.2019 22:23:55] UN|GEIST-SLF-Sirene: Arno: "Many brave Rheinlanders were sent to die out here."
[21.10.2019 22:24:24] UN|GEIST-SLF-Sirene: Arno: "It is a... horror... that our houses are reduced to numbers, not people."
[21.10.2019 22:24:41] GC-Hanazakari: Misaki: I am a squad leader. I do not get to make many decissions
[21.10.2019 22:24:45] UN|GEIST-SLF-Sirene: Arno: "The followers of Matsuda would know much of this, if the rumours are true."
[21.10.2019 22:25:07] UN|GEIST-SLF-Sirene: Arno: *audiably suprised* "You have a chain of command, in a sisterhood like your own?"
[21.10.2019 22:25:19] GC-Hanazakari: Misaki: Ofcourse we do.
[21.10.2019 22:25:48] UN|GEIST-SLF-Sirene: *the voice warms.* "More than much can be said about the Unioners. Men work because of their vocation, and their choice."
[21.10.2019 22:26:41] GC-Hanazakari: Misaki: I fight for the Sisterhood because they gave me a home
[21.10.2019 22:28:00] UN|GEIST-SLF-Sirene: Arno: "As do I, with the Unioners."
[21.10.2019 22:28:14] UN|GEIST-SLF-Sirene: "We may not agree on every position. Yet they have entrusted this vessel to me."
[21.10.2019 22:28:21] UN|GEIST-SLF-Sirene: "The chain of command bends to capacity."
[21.10.2019 22:28:43] UN|GEIST-SLF-Sirene: "Or, in some examples, to legend. Just with the Chrysanthemums with Yuyu Matsuda's legend."
[21.10.2019 22:28:50] GC-Hanazakari: Misaki:I was raised in a prison colony
[21.10.2019 22:29:21] UN|GEIST-SLF-Sirene: ?: "Conn, we've recieved recall orders."
[21.10.2019 22:29:45] GC-Hanazakari: Misaki: Does that mean you leave?
[21.10.2019 22:30:02] UN|GEIST-SLF-Sirene: Arno: "Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on your point of view, yes."
[21.10.2019 22:30:26] UN|GEIST-SLF-Sirene: Arno: "This vessel is but only one ship and it is needed in multiple systems for multiple sorties."
[21.10.2019 22:30:33] GC-Hanazakari: Misaki: I do not know enough on you to decide
[21.10.2019 22:30:36] UN|GEIST-SLF-Sirene: Arno: "We took a hyperspatial jump to reach Honshu."
[21.10.2019 22:30:48] UN|GEIST-SLF-Sirene: Arno: "We will use conventional means to travel back to our sourcepoint."
[21.10.2019 22:30:58] UN|GEIST-SLF-Sirene: Arno: *he chuckles* "Ah, well, my friend, nor do I."
[21.10.2019 22:32:07] UN|GEIST-SLF-Sirene: Arno: "It was a pleasure, Chrysanthemum."
[21.10.2019 22:32:24] UN|GEIST-SLF-Sirene: Arno: "My name is Arno Schultsky. If your movement is ever in need of supplies, or a contact in Rheinland, contact us."
[21.10.2019 22:32:39] UN|GEIST-SLF-Sirene: Arno: "Matsuda is not without her readers in the south, now that the war is desperately over."
[21.10.2019 22:32:57] GC-Hanazakari: Misaki: I will just chase you for now
[21.10.2019 22:33:42] UN|GEIST-SLF-Sirene: ?: "Aye aye. Preparing to depart."
[21.10.2019 22:34:00] UN|GEIST-SLF-Sirene: "Naturally. Take us out."
[21.10.2019 22:34:13] 2019-10-21 22:32:39 SMT WARNING: A hyperspace breach is being opened by UN|GEIST-SLF-Sirene
[21.10.2019 22:35:30] UN|GEIST-SLF-Sirene: Arno: "My name is Arno Schultzky, Chrysanthemum."
[21.10.2019 22:35:30] GC-Hanazakari: Misaki: Well Sayonara
[21.10.2019 22:35:39] UN|GEIST-SLF-Sirene: Arno: "I hope you remember me, as I will remember you."
[21.10.2019 22:35:54] UN|GEIST-SLF-Sirene: "Sayonara."

After the unusual apparition has vanished back into Sigmas I trapped a couple of Bowex transports filled with Gold Ore, along with Sister Sumire. We managed to extort them for 10 million in total. I guess I now deserve a new bottle of Sake.

[21.10.2019 23:18:15] GC-Ame.Sumire: I can afford a lot of time out here, but maybe your ship can't.
[21.10.2019 23:18:21] GC-Hanazakari: Misaki: We could always call in a transport to pick it up
[21.10.2019 23:18:44] Bowex)Basil.Adams: Three million. Each. Price of doing business with beautiful women i suppose.
[21.10.2019 23:19:03] GC-Ame.Sumire: Uhmm I like more five
