Proud servants of the Empire and her people,
We stand before the shattered unity of our nation.
What transpired today in New Tokyo's orbit can only be described as a warning sign.
The Lord Protector, still to be treated as MIA, is a man of unbendable loyalty to the Emperor and the people of Kusari. Witnessing his turn against order, to wage chaos and attempt to usurp the system his Imperial Majesty assisted in shaping, is deeply unsettling.
As a close friend and loyal brother in arms to Admiral Okamoto, I have feared Mitsuo-sama's reaction to be of rage. However, nobody could've predicted for rage to turn into blindness. His goal was noble, his cause lives on, but his path was misguided. Unity against the adversaries of our nation, unity against those pledging and threatening to subdue who we are, unity against those who want to see our future generations suffer. To show no remorse in battle, to be a beacon of loyalty, the will to fight to the last breath. These values were represented by the Lord Protector.
His legacy took a dark turn during its last breaths but we shall honor what he has done for Kusari until this point.
United we stand. For Kusari until our last breath. Against any usurpations, foreign or domestic. For His Imperial Majesty Emperor Kogen-dono! For the Imperial Diet! For our beloved and so that Mitsuo-dono's sacrifice was not in vain. It opened our eyes; Kusari must remain vigilant, for else it could all shatter in an instant. Never to falter, tenno heika banzai!
