I have had the honour recently of both flying with new recruits, and meeting the new Taisho ' Isami Kondo and his wife Otsune.
I arrived in new tokyo and flew with Arakaki, until we happened upon a Katana flown by a freelance Mercenary marked 'Saerieve'after recommending that they change their ship, they fired upon Arakaki. The nimble craft emitted some kind of disorienting frequency which made engagement nauseating. After an extended battle, Arakakis' ship must have suffered some kind of over-heating malfunction, when it exploded. I stayed to cover the pods drift and was defeated after a wearying skirmish. I would advise any pilots to avoid conflict with this combatant until we can better understand how to counter its' abilities.
Later, after a period in,what I heard the Cryer staff obscenely call a 'Womb', I was introduced briefed by the new Taisho, where it was explained to me how he and Hiroito attended academy together. Otsune-domo served Tea in the traditional manner, as the Taisho told me of Hiroitos' health and tales of their service together. After an enlightening discussion on the modern applications of Bushido, the Taisho tested my skills with a blade. I am not ashamed to say that Kondo-sama drew blood within moments, as a master of Tennen Rishin-ryū he is far beyond me. I will keep the scar as a reminder of the day, and of the lessons learned. The second physical reminder of what I must become.
I had the pleasure of meeting one of the state police who I met whilst they took care of a Suspicious pilot named 'creeping.death'. Soon after, I witnessed a new convoy escorted by a liberty gunboat, 'John_Krispo': it's IFF transponder broadcast Bretonia mining and metals identifiers. I explained the issue and made sure that the convoy left the core safely.
In new tokyo, I managed to hold off a chrysanthemum named Ino Yakamura for a while, whilst a trader 'chakie chan' was able to escape. I fought the addict until a freak wave of energies and debris ruined her craft.
Later still I met members of the Lee family, (Keiko and Hekkera) who quickly attacked with two katanas, their torpedos and mines quickly decimated my craft and they left me for dead.
A day later I chased a 'trader' named 'Merkosh': a mastodon pilot bound for liberty with plutonium. Though I explained the law, he managed to evade me. Apart from the odd blockade runner, and dragon incursions, most of what I have observed near the capital has been peaceful and lawful commerce. I would like to commend Taiki Ono, Daisa Takato, Masaiko Tanaka and Yuki Arakaki. Transmission ends...
