My baking powder issues might be over due to the assistance of Miwa-san. He recommended Okuno baking powder to me, hailing from Kyushu. While under gunfire, I decerned this might be a good substitution from that coagulating stuff I got from Junyo.
So now, Okuno might be the key to winning the sigma cooking contest!
Anyway, I left a bunch of angry KNF pilots behind, of which one apparantly had a brain aneurism from talking to me. Flight logs are included.
[30.04.2026 18:34:17] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: We'll get there momentarily.. oh-huh.
[30.04.2026 18:34:19] [KNF]Sk.Toshiyuki: Speak of the devil and he shall arrive.
[30.04.2026 18:34:30] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: What?
[30.04.2026 18:34:44] [KNF]Sk.Toshiyuki: Tsk-tsk.
[30.04.2026 18:34:50] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: That's probably one to debrief about too.
[30.04.2026 18:34:50] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: Whassap?
[30.04.2026 18:35:03] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: Actually, that could make for a fine trial.
[30.04.2026 18:35:17] [KNF]Sk.Toshiyuki: Hm, it might.
[30.04.2026 18:35:18] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: How would you proceed with such a situation, Arakawa-san?
[30.04.2026 18:35:24] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: Oh hay, now that you are all here
[30.04.2026 18:35:34] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: I have an announcement to make
[30.04.2026 18:35:46] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: I'm sorry girl but I'm married to the job.
[30.04.2026 18:35:50] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: So spare me.
[30.04.2026 18:35:56] [KNF]Ni.S.Arakawa|13th: Detain the criminal scum. Put them through screening. Labor camp, perhaps?
[30.04.2026 18:36:00] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: This is unrelated to work
[30.04.2026 18:36:11] [KNF]Sk.Toshiyuki: We're all ears.
[30.04.2026 18:36:16] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: There will be a cooking event
[30.04.2026 18:36:24] [KNF]Sk.Toshiyuki: What?!
[30.04.2026 18:36:27] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: And we need contestants
[30.04.2026 18:36:31] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: Not a bad approach, just Chrysanthemums are prone to blow themselves up rather than to surrender to prison labo- oh uh.
[30.04.2026 18:36:31] [KNF]Ni.S.Arakawa|13th: Cook... ing... ?
[30.04.2026 18:36:32] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: What.
[30.04.2026 18:36:53] [KNF]Sk.Toshiyuki: Goddess spare me, please tell me I'm not hallucinating this.
[30.04.2026 18:37:04] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: Color me surprised. I expected anything but a /cooking contest/?
[30.04.2026 18:37:04] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: So we want to participate in this chef contest in the sigmas, but there needs to be a preliminary held here in Shikoku
[30.04.2026 18:37:38] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: Oh and
[30.04.2026 18:37:49] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: There is no violence involved
[30.04.2026 18:37:51] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: A Chrysanthemum wanting to partake in some cooking contest in the Sigmas. Sounds like a whacky idea by these Newport -
[30.04.2026 18:37:53] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: weirdos.
[30.04.2026 18:38:11] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: *she shrugs*
[30.04.2026 18:38:23] [KNF]Ni.S.Arakawa|13th: Perhaps they could find redemption through a new path, one that brings joy -- rather than hatred?
[30.04.2026 18:38:24] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: Well, here is to trying new stuff
[30.04.2026 18:38:26] [KNF]Sk.Toshiyuki: I'm curious to hear out what the recruit makes of this?
[30.04.2026 18:38:45] [KNF]Ni.S.Arakawa|13th: Hai! It sounds suspicious to me.
[30.04.2026 18:38:52] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: You can send the recruit to be the KNF team
[30.04.2026 18:38:55] [KNF]Sk.Toshiyuki: Ha-ha, I didn't expect to barge into, well, whatever this is today.
[30.04.2026 18:39:23] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: Refining their own cooking skills is.. admirable? I mean.. uh. Honestly, this is just.. off?!
[30.04.2026 18:39:45] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: For the record, Arakawa-san, this is definitely not how these situations usually go.
[30.04.2026 18:39:56] [KNF]Sk.Toshiyuki: You don't say.
[30.04.2026 18:40:02] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: Actually, normally this is exactly what happens
[30.04.2026 18:40:12] [KNF]Ni.S.Arakawa|13th: Hai! For the record, I can make a tiramisu that would knock your /socks/ off.
[30.04.2026 18:40:23] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: Did we ever have a 'normal' conversation?
[30.04.2026 18:40:42] [KNF]Ni.S.Arakawa|13th: You know this Chryssy'mum?!
[30.04.2026 18:41:00] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: I can't recall holding a conversation with a Chrysanthemum to begin with. I'm called out for real trouble.. or well-
[30.04.2026 18:41:07] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: apparently also for babysitting these days.
[30.04.2026 18:41:08] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: Oh I have seen the Miwa person before
[30.04.2026 18:41:28] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: My memory is quite foggy.
[30.04.2026 18:41:42] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: Less drinking on the job then
[30.04.2026 18:41:59] [KNF]Sk.Toshiyuki: Ha, if only. I could well make do with some New Tokyo sake.
[30.04.2026 18:42:05] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: To be fair, drinking improves my memory
[30.04.2026 18:42:10] [KNF]Sk.Toshiyuki: Not the point, either way...
[30.04.2026 18:42:38] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: A tiramisu...
[30.04.2026 18:42:41] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: I mean.
[30.04.2026 18:42:50] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: Tiramisu...
[30.04.2026 18:42:56] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: now you are talking
[30.04.2026 18:43:09] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: Explaining why the recruit managed to get a ship wrecked not even twenty minutes into their first patrol..
[30.04.2026 18:43:13] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: Would also be an interesting ship name actually
[30.04.2026 18:43:16] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: That paperwork sounds like a headache.
[30.04.2026 18:43:23] [KNF]Sk.Toshiyuki: Sure does.
[30.04.2026 18:43:53] [KNF]Ni.S.Arakawa|13th: Hai.
[30.04.2026 18:44:30] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: Just out of pure curiousity. What's the deal with that chef contest in the Sigmas then?
[30.04.2026 18:44:44] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: A grand prize? Fame? Just for the passion at cooking?
[30.04.2026 18:44:47] [KNF]Sk.Toshiyuki: Yeah, do tell us more.
[30.04.2026 18:44:59] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: Honestly, there was this news announcement about it... What was the name again... let me check
[30.04.2026 18:45:58] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: So it takes place in the sigmas. The actual chef contest
[30.04.2026 18:46:14] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: There is this liner. Hawaii?
[30.04.2026 18:46:27] [KNF]Sk.Toshiyuki: Yes, yes, I believe that's the name.
[30.04.2026 18:46:35] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: Well I wanted to enroll, but was told I needed to have won a prelimenary first
[30.04.2026 18:46:35] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: Ah, hai. Quite expensive, that one.
[30.04.2026 18:47:01] [KNF]Sk.Toshiyuki: Why not try it out at the nearby freeports? Why ask us?
[30.04.2026 18:47:05] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: So in order for Kusari to send their chefs, there need to be a preliminary held here first
[30.04.2026 18:47:24] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: Because, no contests are held there at the moment
[30.04.2026 18:47:30] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: We need to organise one
[30.04.2026 18:47:48] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: So I was like, lets do this at Noshima
[30.04.2026 18:48:02] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: now it just needs contestants
[30.04.2026 18:48:12] K'Hara|Cth'Rehk-Goru perished at Smoke.Screen's hands(62%)
[30.04.2026 18:48:15] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: So I simply advertise
[30.04.2026 18:48:27] [KNF]Sk.Toshiyuki: Sounds to me like a whole lot of work put in for the chance to see it get cracked down upon by the KOI.
[30.04.2026 18:49:01] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: They would just a food battle royale and get edibles thrown at them
[30.04.2026 18:49:10] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: *find
[30.04.2026 18:49:30] [KNF]Ni.S.Arakawa|13th: A-are you under the influence right now, Advertiser Chryssy'mum?
[30.04.2026 18:49:56] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: Yes, but that doesnt matter. The plan was already there
[30.04.2026 18:50:34] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: I mean, so long as the food isn't laced with anything strange.. I'll join that crackdown just for the snacks.
[30.04.2026 18:50:48] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: Isnt it proof enough that this chef contest is legal by the fact I tell you the details?
[30.04.2026 18:51:38] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: The chef contest itself, seeing as it would fall under Gas Miner jurisdiction and they probably stopped caring about -
[30.04.2026 18:51:43] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: the crazy events held on the Hawaii.
[30.04.2026 18:53:03] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: I first though a food war was violence with food, but it turned out to be different
[30.04.2026 18:53:36] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: I was already imagining gauls hitting people with bread
[30.04.2026 18:53:58] [KNF]Ni.S.Arakawa|13th: *muffled laughter*
[30.04.2026 18:54:37] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: I'd much prefer a second Lorraine but beating them with bread would be at least /something/.
[30.04.2026 18:55:01] [KNF]Sk.Toshiyuki: Ah, if only Okamoto were still with us.
[30.04.2026 18:55:27] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: We could team up with this contest and throw sushi at them or whatever for the laughs
[30.04.2026 18:55:30] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: Don't. Remind. Me. I was that close to- ehrm.
[30.04.2026 18:55:45] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: Please don't waste decent food like this.
[30.04.2026 18:55:50] [KNF]Ni.S.Arakawa|13th: Sounds like a waste--- exactly!
[30.04.2026 18:55:55] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: True...
[30.04.2026 18:56:00] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: Throw Synth Paste at them, I guess.
[30.04.2026 18:56:14] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: Anything Libertorian, actually.
[30.04.2026 18:56:21] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: Even the farmer alliance would appreciate this
[30.04.2026 18:57:38] [KNF]Ni.S.Arakawa|13th: That'd be the only good use for the stuff...
[30.04.2026 18:57:58] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: Mmh. Anyway.
[30.04.2026 18:58:08] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: Good point. We should ban synth food from the contest
[30.04.2026 18:58:27] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: Just because its yuck
[30.04.2026 18:58:27] [KNF]Ni.S.Arakawa|13th: Hai. For a dirty Chryssy'mum, you have some sense, it seems.
[30.04.2026 18:58:40] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: dirty in what way?
[30.04.2026 18:59:04] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: So any other rules you propose?
[30.04.2026 18:59:15] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: I am still working on them
[30.04.2026 18:59:44] [KNF]Ni.S.Arakawa|13th: Anarchistic. Stubborn... with little respect for harmony. Those are the ways you sully yourself-- off the top of my head.
[30.04.2026 19:00:54] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: Well, cooking is a sort of harmony you must respect
[30.04.2026 19:01:12] [KNF]Sk.Toshiyuki: Bah, my services are required elsewhere. Miwa, take care of this recruit, I'm quite fond of them already.
[30.04.2026 19:01:18] [KNF]Sk.Toshiyuki: I'm sure we'll meet again.
[30.04.2026 19:01:26] [KNF]Ni.S.Arakawa|13th: Hai. It was a pleasure.
[30.04.2026 19:01:29] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: Very well. You weren't scheduled for this one anyway.
[30.04.2026 19:02:30] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: Cooking is indeed harmonic though. Now then, Arakawa-san.
[30.04.2026 19:02:46] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: How harmonic will it be here then, I wonder.
[30.04.2026 19:03:15] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: Umakai-san, how are your zen cooking skills?
[30.04.2026 19:03:40] E\V/-Matheus.Licht was obliterated by "Geist"(38%)
[30.04.2026 19:04:11] [KNF]Ni.S.Arakawa|13th: Power down your weapons. Cut your engines. Allow us to take you into custody, perhaps we could find you treatment for your..
[30.04.2026 19:04:17] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: I'm fairly decent, nothing to offer to a contest. Rarely cook for anyone but myself and rarely get to cook.
[30.04.2026 19:04:33] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: Ah, she's made her decision.
[30.04.2026 19:04:38] [KNF]Ni.S.Arakawa|13th: ---horrid conditions, that way you might find redemption. We could cook together, some day?
[30.04.2026 19:04:42] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: Huh?
[30.04.2026 19:05:25] [KNF]Ni.S.Arakawa|13th: I will promise to visit you, during any and all programmes you might need to... cleanse yourself.
[30.04.2026 19:05:51] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: I mean, I could use a shower
[30.04.2026 19:06:06] [KNF]Ni.S.Arakawa|13th: I'm sure they have those! Probably decent ones.
[30.04.2026 19:06:15] [KNF]Ni.S.Arakawa|13th: That work, anyway.
[30.04.2026 19:06:15] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: By the way Umakai, what baking powder do you recommend?
[30.04.2026 19:06:35] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: Please don't tell me you use Cardamine as baking powder now..
[30.04.2026 19:06:36] E\V/-OCV-APEP got divebombed by Fur'batan(36%)
[30.04.2026 19:06:48] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: I found this bag on Junyo, but it is total garbage
[30.04.2026 19:06:50] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: Arakawa-san if you're set on this, just get to it then already.
[30.04.2026 19:06:58] Masamura: " Yoi ichinichi o, Kyaputen !"
[30.04.2026 19:07:08] [KNF]Ni.S.Arakawa|13th: What the--?
[30.04.2026 19:07:11] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: Who is Masamura?
[30.04.2026 19:07:13] [SC]Saito.Haruto was shot out of the skies by Der'Jak(40%)
[30.04.2026 19:07:25] Masamura: Me
[30.04.2026 19:07:42] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: Hey, are you interested in a cooking contest?
[30.04.2026 19:08:04] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: They seem more interested in keeping their distance.
[30.04.2026 19:08:12] [KNF]Ni.S.Arakawa|13th: GOD DAMN IT. Chyssy'mum! You will power down and enter our custody or we WILL be forced to open fire.
[30.04.2026 19:08:13] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: We can follow it
[30.04.2026 19:08:27] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: Chill Arakawa
[30.04.2026 19:08:33] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: We talk about cooking
[30.04.2026 19:08:37] [KNF]Ni.S.Arakawa|13th: *sighs audibly*
[30.04.2026 19:08:48] Turning.Circle.Infinity was blown out of the stars by Kan'na'ta(37%)
[30.04.2026 19:08:55] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: Junyo and baking powder, you said. Can't tell, honestly.
[30.04.2026 19:08:56] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: What is your favourite dish, Arakawa?
[30.04.2026 19:09:01] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: I'm from Kyushu.
[30.04.2026 19:09:13] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: I am from Miura
[30.04.2026 19:10:22] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: I honestly should have brought some food with me
[30.04.2026 19:10:30] [KNF]Ni.S.Arakawa|13th: I'm sorry, you left me no choice...
[30.04.2026 19:10:59] E\V/-OCV-Shadow_wolf was blown out of the stars by K'Hara|Qetesh(25%)
[30.04.2026 19:11:15] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: I suppose at least something gets cooked today then.
[30.04.2026 19:11:23] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: Damn, that one made me cringe myself.
[30.04.2026 19:11:47] Death: WAMBO{nl} was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[30.04.2026 19:11:56] E\V/-Trevor.Tugev was killed by Bomad-2(61%)
[30.04.2026 19:13:05] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: HOLD!
[30.04.2026 19:13:05] [KNF]Ni.S.Arakawa|13th: POWER DOWN, DAMN IT.
[30.04.2026 19:13:18] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: I got a scratchy nose
[30.04.2026 19:13:25] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: Uh- well.
[30.04.2026 19:13:26] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: So anyway
[30.04.2026 19:13:28] [KNF]Ni.S.Arakawa|13th: Is your life a joke to you?
[30.04.2026 19:13:32] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: Baking powder
[30.04.2026 19:13:42] [KNF]Ni.S.Arakawa|13th: *long, extended sigh*
[30.04.2026 19:13:46] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: You say you are from Kyushu
[30.04.2026 19:13:53] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: What is a good brand there?
[30.04.2026 19:14:40] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: Mmh. Okuno? It's at least one of the larger brands.
[30.04.2026 19:14:42] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: Anyway.
[30.04.2026 19:14:52] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: Okuno...
[30.04.2026 19:15:00] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: Gotta write that down
[30.04.2026 19:15:16] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: I think the Nitto Kaii wasn't joking.
[30.04.2026 19:15:38] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: About what?
[30.04.2026 19:16:01] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: You didn't really listen to her, huh.
[30.04.2026 19:16:16] [KNF]Sk.Umakai.Miwa: You know what, don't mind me.
[30.04.2026 19:16:22] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: I was busy tracking down Okuno
[30.04.2026 19:16:30] [KNF]Ni.S.Arakawa|13th: I think perhaps the truth is too difficult for them, Miwa-san.
[30.04.2026 19:16:40] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: Hm?
[30.04.2026 19:16:42] [KNF]Ni.S.Arakawa|13th: To confront oneself, it can be terrifying.
[30.04.2026 19:17:20] [KNF]Ni.S.Arakawa|13th: To so willingly throw your life away... why?
[30.04.2026 19:17:26] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: Can we do this existential crisis after I made a cake that isnt terrible?
[30.04.2026 19:17:40] [KNF]Ni.S.Arakawa|13th: *Undistinguishable yelling*
[30.04.2026 19:17:57] GC-Yunoki.Misaki;: WAIT!
[30.04.2026 19:18:35] [KNF]Ni.S.Arakawa|13th: Why?!
