CONSTRUCTION LOG MESSAGE 5/1.07.829

---

[indent]Log, Shimamori Masahito, captain of "Zuiryu". The modification of the vessel to "Mizu" class is effectively completed. Having consulted with the Chief Administrator Tokunaga, the crew originally hired for "Hitachi" will be appointed to "Zuiryu". All chief positions were preserved, and the number of the service staff was reduced due to the size of the vessel to 44 people. Herein are attached the dossiers of the Chief personnel for the security division as well as for myself. Until the field tests with the KNF are completed, the crew is not expected to change. Further adjustments are possible depending on the performance of the staff.

Security Division:

Matsumoto Takahashi - Chief of Security Age: 42 Sex: Male Origin: Minamimito, Planet Honshu Rank: Captain (KNF) Background: KNF Marine Corps Experience: Kusari-Bretonia War (813-818), First Kusari-Gallia War (818) Clan Rank: Kashira Family: Wife, two children Profile: Captain Matsumoto Takahashi is the current Chief Security Officer of "Zuiryu". He was trained as a marine with specialisation in close-quarter skirmishes and melee. Matsumoto participated in the war against Bretonia and Gallia as a part of a boarding team and rose to the rank of captain. Following the collapse of the imperial government and the onslaught of the civil war, Matsumoto retired due to his unwillingness to take sides in the civil war. His warfare experience and expertise in melee made him a desirable employee in the civilian security market. After three years of work for Kishiro on Honshu, Matsumoto received an offer to join Shimamori clan as a security officer. Familiarity with the clan from his native island of Haneda led Matsumoto to swear an oath to the clan and be hired for life as a samurai. By 827 Matsumoto reached the rank of kashira (samurai-captain) and was put in charge of the security of "Zuiryu". Personal Notes: diligent, loyal, serious, laconical, collects plush toys for his younger child.

After the doctorate, Professor Hoff returned to Rheinland to partake in stellar movement research aboard Heisenberg Research Station as a part of Kusari research team. His contribution to the research efforts and facilitation of cross-cultural cooperation earned him a place at the prestigious Morita Memorial Observatory, one of the oldest in Kusari. Thereafter, Hoff was invited in the capacity of a senior astronomer to Tenmei University on Honshu to observe the Sigma cluster which was seen much better from the system as compared to New Tokyo. There, he rose to the position of the Head of Astronomy Department but decided to focus on stellar observation and not on teaching and administrative duties. At Tenmei University Professor Hoff got acquainted with marquess Shimamori and was invited to chair a mapping expedition into the Sigmas aboard "Zuiryu". His team was in charge of discovering and mapping Chubu system. Personal Notes: verbose, pedantic, not good at communication skills, speaks Rheinlandic fluently and has a sympathy for Rheinland (married to a citizen of Rheinland).

Administrative Division:

Tokunaga Teruo - Chief Administrator Age: 47 Sex: Male Origin: Hinomarumachi, Honshu Background: International University of Nakano, Honshu, M.B.A. in Business Administration Experience: Manager at Morinaga Electronics Ltd. (807 - 813), Department Head at Morinaga Electronics Ltd. (813 - 818), Shimamori Restaurant Chain Administrator (818 - 824), Shimamori Castle Administrator (824 - 829) Clan Position: Bugyo (administrator) Family: Divorced, one child Profile: Tokunaga Teruo is a reliable administrator of the Shimamori. He gained his experience by managing an electronics company for a while and not saving the company but also successfully cutting a piece of the electronics pie in the domestic to Kishiro world of Honshu. The company's success eventually was its demise when its owner eventually decided to sell the enterprise to Kishiro. Clan Shimamori at that time had already taken note of a talented administrator and offered him a lucrative position at the clan's sushi restaurants in Minamimito. Diligent service and increased efficiency of the said restaurants eventually convinced the clan leadership to employ Tokunaga as the administrator of Shimamori Castle, de facto making him the second administrator after the administrator of the clan affairs. Tokunaga pledged an oath to the Shimamori clan in 824 after assuming the duty of the clan, preferring the stability of the life-long hire, and was awarded the corresponding bugyo title. Following the failure with "Hitachi", Tokunaga was appointed the Chief Administrator of the modified "Zuiryu". Personal notes: traditionalist, religious (shinto), loner, grumpy.

Her skills obtained at vocational school were honed throughout her rich experience of working for Kishiro and at both major spaceport and regional spaceports. . Her skills at overseeing both automatised drone surveying missions and maintenance of the ship made her a good candidate for the position of Chief Engineer at "Zuiryu" in 823. Nomura specialises in robotics and is indispensable for the current exploratory missions of "Zuiryu".

She applied for permanent employment at the Clan in 826 and passed all the necessary tests. Her credentials indicated she served diligently and impartially to both sides in Kusari Civil War focusing on healing rather than the war itself. Her experience of working under duress and with soldiers made her a good candidate for rendering medical services to the retainers of the Clan. Her senior position aboard "Hitachi" was her first major promotion. However, the "Hitachi" project failed and thus she was offered to lead the medical team aboard the modified "Zuiryu". Doctor Sekiguchi will be in charge of a rather small team of medical doctors to observe the security protocol when dealing with samples and to provide medical assistance to the crew. Unlike some other more experienced medical crew, Dr. Sekiguchi swore fealty to the Clan and is under permanent employ. Personal Notes: suffers from insomnia for a few days after a jumgate / jumphole, very attached to her only child, energetic and enthusiastic, good organiser.
