Proud servants of the Empire and her people,

It saddens me to speak to you under these circumstances.
Kaigun Gensui Okamoto was an icon, a symbol of a true Kusari warrior. Fiercely loyal to the people of Kusari, compassionate, wise, unbending and a masterful strategist.
His loss is a tragedy beyond measurement and we shall carry his spirit and love for Kusari in our hearts.

War is on the horizon and the Admiralty cannot sit idly permitting a vacant seat. This seat is now mine, so permit me a brief introduction.

The name is Kojima Akenobu, aged 54. Serving the Empire as part of the Imperial Guard since 31 years. Commander of the Ashuradō Special Forces since 821 AS. In light of changes occurring to the Naval command structure in the nearby future, I was granted the rank of Kaigun Gensui with the blessing of His Imperial Majesty Kogen-dono and Shogun Ikeda-dono.

Command over the IKN-Matsumoto previously held by Kaigun Gensui Okamoto will hereby be transferred to Kaisho-ho Kojima Orochi, as my position does not permit me regular frontline duties. Following the assassination of Okamoto-sama, the Ashuradō Special Forces were called into active duty and I am unable to leave his Imperial Majesty's side for the time being.

With my new privileges, I am hereby issuing the first general order:
All fleet command is hereby recalled to the Shogunate's headquarters in the Kōkyo Imperial District. The restructuring of the IAF begins now.

For Kusari until our last breath.
Kaigun Gensui Saejima Akenobu
1st Major Fleet
