Back on Track

[Ryummel]

The Chimidoro slipped silently through the Nampo Cloud, evading every rock the forward cannon stumbled upon, heading to the outpost settled by the Blood Dragons back on the eve of the Nomad War, Ryuku. Nowadays, this little fortress hidden in the mists is offering shelter to the convoys coming from Sendai Research Station and to the very few Order patrols which were taking a closer look to the Arch. But this time, the Arch or the potential Nomad threat there weren't among the plans of Itagaki Dato.

Once Dato's shuttle docked with Ryuku, the Chimidoro activated its cruise engines and disappeared from the scanners. Even when the distance between Kyoto and Ryuku was minimal, the risks of being ambushed by the forces coming from the Arch were high enough to bring a cruiser to escort a member of the Shogunate. But now he reached safe haven, and his sole purpose in that place was knowing what happened with the freelancer who was given one of the most valuable treasures coming from Kyoto. But not only that, even Dato developed some sort of comradeship feeling to this foreigner, probably the one who would prove the Shogunate that not every gaijin would pose a threat to Kusari as some others had proven.
