Miyo Shirane, reporting from the field! Okay... In the Kyushu system today, I was idling near Tsushima Depot observing one of the sisters of the Golden Chrysanthemums. She stopped two trade vessels and demanded from them a donation to the sisterhood. They were the Morphic and the Basalt. The two traders laughed it off and fled with the sister in pursuit. Standard affair, right? |Com: Docking…|::static:: -oticed she’d followed them all the way from Kyushu through to Frankfurt. What an exciting chase; this must be news! I began pursuit and caught up in New Berlin by cutting through Sigma-13 into Frankfurt. Somehow, I ended up in a fire fight between the Unioners and the Wild but that’s a bit off topic, I guess… Anyway! They made a full circle back and lost me but I caught up again by heading straight to Kyushu since I had a hunch they’d be returning. Apparently the sister, ship ID was ‘Aki Shikyo’, had caught on to me because every other trade lane behind her was down. How rude! She even taunted me, she said –Miyo’s tries to imitate a tough voice- “Not as fast as you thought you were, Reporter?” I wasn’t about to lose. Well… I want to say that but the two traders began making confusing, erratic movements to confuse the GC sister and it worked. I was following her, and her movements were even more confusing so I got lost going back and for between Kyushu and New Tokyo. Eventually I caught her again but I’d only then realized that the traders escaped. Apparently she wasn’t happy about losing them after ten systems because she messaged me –tough voice- “If you keep following me, you will die.” She left to the Hokkaido system, so naturally I’ve followed. I waited a bit so I wouldn’t run into her at the jump gate.

I found their base in Hokkaido and returned to the gate to New Tokyo while eavesdropping on their communications. Haha~ Apparently that sister from before, Aki Shikyo, is only an initiate or something! There was some kind of dispute about her having shot down another sister, too. I can’t tell if it was actually infighting or if something went awry during a bout. The ones named Hayley Winters and Sara O’Connel seem to have some authority. I’m reluctant to get closer because I don’t want to be in sensor r- |Sensor emitting a klaxon| Son of a… Speak of the devil, it’s Winters… and two others…! I’ll jus- ::static:: -ave to get out of here. Now. |Com: Docking…|
::long period of static::
::Miyo sighing heavily:: Okay… now that I’ve gotten to the trade lane I can stop sweating tachyons… I’m going to dock at Shinjuku Station and lay low. It seems I got into New Tokyo fast enough that they didn’t notice me. Almost… W-why is she getting closer? Uh… Um…! |Com: Your request to dock is granted. Please proceed to Dock 2.| Whew…
::gap in the audio::
Miyo, again! There was something in Kyushu before I decided to chase the GC. Two Outcast ships sending communications about transporting “cargo” and that the cargo was “female.” One of the ships discovered me and demanded to know my purpose for eavesdropping. Apparently, they want an outlet into the media because they demanded an interview and claimed that they’re Outcasts that aren’t actually Outcasts. I’m kind of interested but… Oh, I’m being hailed. By… oh, dear. Hayley Winters. ::Miyo inhaling deeply:: |Winters: Miyo, can you come out here?| …I…Oh. This isn’t good. ::brief static; followed by Miyo speaking into her headset:: “That was rude of me. Yes?” |Winters: You have Blood Dragon pilots in your hold. I’m going to need those back.| Oh, crap… I just found them in the aftermath of a fight and turned them in for reward money… “Um…This is awkward.” |Winters: Very uncool.| “I-is there any chance you… won’t kill me?” |Winters: How about you make a donation to the sisterhood so we can get them back.| “That… That’s not a question is it?” |Winters: ‘fraid not, bup.| Crap… I don’t have a lot. I hope she doesn’t ask for more. |Com: Transaction complete.| Maybe…Maybe I should send more just in case… |Winters: Thank you for your donation. Have a nice day!| “Y-yes…” ::Miyo audibly exhaling:: Right… Okay. I’m going to go have a heart attack now.
