Krumai's Journey to the Light

[Krumai]

Tohoku System

It has been two days since I towed the Jestak towards Heaven's Gate. The ship was refitted with new guns that appear half-organic in nature. During that time it was inevitable others would turn against me. I have come to embrace the light, even at a price of severing past ties with the Cubhras Handhas. From this moment on I am no longer a member due to their quick realization of me being infected. I am now a member of the Aoi Iseijin, or in the old language, the Hapā́Ham PáraHnaras.

Hokkaido System

It all started several weeks ago. A routine patrol near the Tohoku jumphole uncovered the presence of an Aoi fighter that managed to disable a Sutinga. Later, I met Enma Loyola and Eliza Valdez and had a somewhat nice conversation. The feeling of light first came to me. That was the main reason I created this journal in the first place. Everything made sense to me, though I hid that fact even with my own members of the cell. Later, a week ago, a battle broke out near Ainu between the Gen'an and their allies and the Nomads. They were crushed, although one Nomad vessel was disabled. It was during this time I felt that I had to choose my destiny. These Nomads were in fact calling for me, knowing I was most susceptible for I was a devout worshipper of my own religion's concept of light. It was about to become irresistible.

New Tokyo System

While on a routine patrol in New Tokyo, I was ambushed by the KNF. One of their "members" was Manto. Sooner enough the Gen'an somehow knew of my plans, refusing to help me and led to the Jestak being severely crippled when its systems failed. I managed to escape, heading towards Ainu suffering only minor injuries. The technicians there said it could take months to repair the Jestak due to heavy damage. This was the last straw. I took out my snubcraft and did what was best for me.

Hokkaido System

I encountered "Manto" for the second time. The Gen'an were not that friendly to me, as they kept accusing me of being a Nomad sympathizer. It became apparent "Manto" wasn't just a KNF officer, he was a member of the Aoi. I learned of this fact after he disabled the Gen'an ships that were out to engage him. I came upon the large structure in Tohoku and from now on I fully embraced myself as an infectee. Needless to say they did the repairs in just a day, though they had to install these hybrid weapons.

January 14-15, 828 AS

The first encounter was uneventful. I pretended to be my old self when I had a nice talk with a secondary fleet Order pilot who was suspicious of me at first, but was not that aggressive to me. Then came the second encounter. It was during this time I escorted Ly's transport when I noticed an Order vessel who was a member of the primary fleet. From that point I was exposed, and I did the only thing: to openly acknowledge myself as an infected. As I look with my purple eyes, I compose my last poem for the journal:

"Nú Hr̥túš Hásti, mana Hušā́s" (The time is now, my Ushas)
"Hsn̥tyaH ráwkʲasaH HáykaH Hásmi" (I am one with the true light)
"NáHu smád sárHway n̥dHtím bʰárāwas" (Together we shall bring freedom to all)
"YámHa-stáHnam gʲʰí Hsuĉráwās Hásmi" (For YámHa-stáHnam I am well known)
