Today I was honored to leave the Sendai base for the first time with you. My parents were not happy at first - but even they couldn't ignore my resolve. They have given me our family vessel they used for they research jouneys - the Magpie, which was promptly retrofitted to be at least reasonably battle worthy. I wish to gain command's trust and earn a proper Blood Dragon vessel when I leave the En'enra rank.

I must say I feel overwhelmed - just not too long ago I was a humble civilian daughter of down to earth scientists, dreaming I would one day join you in battle while studying at the Sendai Research Complex. And today I was thrust into the middle of something that truly blew my mind. I have never even seen one of these ships up close, and now I was here, trying to face them head on for our cause in a former science vessel.


I am sitting here in my escape pod, shaking, crying from the shock. I feel horrified yet...alive. Petrified about the thorn ridden journey that awaits me, but thrilled at the same time, looking forward to what's possible and the difference I can make. I did my best to help our brothers and sisters - in the end I have drawn out a cruiser and slowed it down for a very long time - but it was too much, I was too big of a thorn in their side and got sent packing into my escape pod.

I will be awaiting your arrival to retrieve me - please, hurry.
