Viewing Report

Konnichiwa,

I've finally decided that I should dive in on the event myself, and I have to admit it was pretty fun.

I begun chasing DrPayne from Shikoku all the way to Tau-23 where I realized I would never catch up to him so I stopped, that was where SDI+Starwalker, an Interspace transport, stumbled across me and I thought I'd give him a shot instead.

Turns out the Captain of the ship was very cooperative and wanted to acquire some Shigeakiki from me, and it was then that I noticed I had none on me because I forgot the shipment back at Kinkaku-ji. I quickly came up with a compromise that would make him not lose interest and told him he can come with me until Shikoku so I can go grab a shipment and give him some while in return I would escort him to Orkney, his destination, and make sure he's safe. Oddly and unexpectedly enough he agreed to my offer.

After a pretty fun journey to Shikoku which you were present for, Misaki-chan, I reached the shrine, got the Shigeakiki, gave it to him and then escorted him to Orkney as my promise to him said. An uneventful escort of course, as you know.
