SENDER: Major Brett Kensington "Makiri", Battlegroup Ouroboros RECIPIENT: LILITH SUBJECT: Akiha Nodoka, I'm reporting that during an engagement she undertook alone, Major-Aspirant Akiha went missing. Conflicting reports of her dying from a GMG transport's CIWS fire penning her cockpit, and being disabled by a Nomad, of all things, are going around. These are irrelevant to me. As.. tragic to lose a wingman and adjutant as this was.. I've put out a request for replacement and.. a honorable discharge for Akiha. She was diligent and valiant, loyal to the cause to the bitter end. I pray her death.. if true - was swift and painless. I hope these requests will be approved in short order, ma'am. Maj. Brett Kensington Sanzu Special Developments Group (Sanzu DEVGRU) Battlegroup Ouroboros

CODE OERLIKON. CODE OERLIKON. Until further notice Auxesia is considered redesignated as Unfriendly-NOFORN. SANZU, as well as HUMINT sources in the field have obtained intelligence suspecting that Sapphire Raven is an Infectee or otherwise under Slomon K'hara influence. Furthermore, we have reason to believe that Leviathan may be under this influence as well. Exemptions to this directive are individual operators which have been designated over the CENTCOM intranet. All personnel not part of XRT, SANZU, or CENTCOM are to avoid Auxesian contact at all costs. Do not offer support, do not disclose any information that they were once allowed to receive. ROE remains as fragged prior - do not engage unless engaged, do not give them incentive to engage. We are dealing with an extremely delicate situation here - I would rather we feign amicability for as long as we can until we are fortified against any threat they could pose. We are to commence with Operation Reshaper in the coming year. Construction and Logistics crews are to report to the Tau Corridor for standby. That is all. Nodoka Hanamura

SENDER: Major Setsuna Kobayashi, Battlegroup Ouroboros RECIPIENT: Commander Nodoka Hanamura, Battlegroup Ouroboros SUBJECT: Report 0716835 Hanamura-sensei, I've taken the liberty of pursuing a familiarization flight through Kusari, though I have done so with assistance from a pair of gallic pilots, Namely Lucie and Gabrielle Dubois. Their IFF response was Union Corse, but to our understanding they weren't exactly tightly affiliated. We had made some chatter, and discussed the cause, engaged in idle chat.. And I have posited recruiting them to the cause. They seem to have promise and could be of use in the Kotetsu Division. They are.. quite unaware of Sirian affairs and the sort. So familiarization may be needed. Spoiler [16.07.2025 22:50:59] Gabrielle.Dubois: [Yawns] Hey Lucie. Another sleepy night. How are you doing after the journy from the Omegas? [16.07.2025 22:51:37] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: K: Java, this is ODS Mendicant Didact, to moor for refuel. [16.07.2025 22:51:38] Lucie.Dubois: Kind of beaten. My eyes are burning, gosh. [She yawns quietly.] Pardon.. [16.07.2025 22:52:12] Gabrielle.Dubois: I think I still feel sleepy. Oh. Another ship. [16.07.2025 22:52:34] Gabrielle.Dubois: And a very pretty one too! I havn't seen anything like that in Gallia. [16.07.2025 22:52:51] Lucie.Dubois: Hey.. you wanted to watch that much holo-tv in the night... [16.07.2025 22:53:00] Gabrielle.Dubois: Mnngg, I regret it. [16.07.2025 22:53:11] Lucie.Dubois: Oh. That is a large ship. [16.07.2025 22:53:48] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: K: And.. connected. Didact is recieving. [16.07.2025 22:53:58] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: K: Greetings Union Corse pilots. [16.07.2025 22:54:22] Lucie.Dubois: Oh uh.. Hi. Uhm. Person. [16.07.2025 22:54:48] Gabrielle.Dubois: Good day! [16.07.2025 22:55:00] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: K: I suppose introductions are in order.. I am Major Setsuna Kobayashi, Battlegroup Ouroboros. [16.07.2025 22:55:06] Gabrielle.Dubois: May I ask a question, what is such a lovely ship doing in this asteroid system? [16.07.2025 22:55:23] Gabrielle.Dubois: Ah, good to meet you, Major. Your ship does not look like a warship? [16.07.2025 22:55:27] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: K: I am the commanding officer of both this ship and the head of the Mizurashi Diplomatic Section that operates it. [16.07.2025 22:56:03] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: K: We were departing from a hold in Tau-44 for some time. [16.07.2025 22:56:27] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: K: My command is not tasked with combat - we, well as the name goes - are diplomats for the cause. [16.07.2025 22:56:56] Lucie.Dubois: I remember our diplomats. They.. shot first and asked questions.. uhm. Never? I think that's how it went. [16.07.2025 22:56:57] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Soft power, keeping up relations.. occasionally cooperating on campaigns with combat units but more in oversight. [16.07.2025 22:57:06] Gabrielle.Dubois: Seems suitable to me. It's impressive to see you. What do you represent? Please excuse us, we are new from Gallia. [16.07.2025 22:57:09] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Very poor diplomats. [16.07.2025 22:57:56] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Ouroboros is a revolutionary movement that was established originally in 825 AS. Our leader had fled Kusari years ago and after [16.07.2025 22:58:09] Gabrielle.Dubois: Yes, well... one of the many reasons we are not in Gallia anymore, as my sister said. [16.07.2025 22:58:25] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: time in Zoner society, saught to reclaim the house as a social democracy. [16.07.2025 22:58:53] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Though over time and through.. some very difficult times - we have evolved to be a populist 'big tent' progressive movement. [16.07.2025 22:59:02] Gabrielle.Dubois: I heard Kusari is an evil empire who wants to invade people... seems tough to try to form a democracy in such a place. [16.07.2025 22:59:33] Lucie.Dubois: Oh yes, I heard about the invasion into.. the Taus? Gallia pushed htem out, I think. [16.07.2025 22:59:37] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Kusari.. is a lovely place, host to millenia of culture.. but it is plagued by many things.. [16.07.2025 23:00:05] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: An oligopolic government, puppeteered by the Keiretsu. [16.07.2025 23:00:20] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Misogynist mistreatment and rampant xenophobia. [16.07.2025 23:00:53] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Aggressive collectivist thought that disregards the individual, that has only gotten worse as time goes on. [16.07.2025 23:01:05] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: As opposed to the toxic individualism you see in Liberty.. [16.07.2025 23:01:12] Lucie.Dubois: I.. don't really know much about politics. [16.07.2025 23:01:26] Gabrielle.Dubois: Same here... But this does not sound healthy. [16.07.2025 23:01:28] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: You don't need to. All you need to know is we fight for the people. [16.07.2025 23:01:32] Gabrielle.Dubois: Why do they hate girls? [16.07.2025 23:01:57] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: It is a cultural issue that manifested from the Sakura coup that happened centuries ago. [16.07.2025 23:02:31] Lucie.Dubois: But how could they ever hate girls. We are lovely. [16.07.2025 23:03:26] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Mm.. The issue stems from old chauvinism that's plagued mankind for millenia. [16.07.2025 23:03:43] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Males as the protector, females as the breeder, carer.. hidoi.. [16.07.2025 23:03:52] Gabrielle.Dubois: I think... I understand. [16.07.2025 23:03:59] Gabrielle.Dubois: You remember what happened to us, sister? [16.07.2025 23:04:06] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: I used to be a Chrysanthemum so.. the matter hits home to me in particular. [16.07.2025 23:04:14] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: But... these days the Chrysanthemums are lost. [16.07.2025 23:04:36] Lucie.Dubois: Mhm.. I do. How could I ever.. forget that nightmare. [16.07.2025 23:05:13] Gabrielle.Dubois: I don't pretend to know many of these groups, but yours seems nice. What are you doing to help? [16.07.2025 23:05:59] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: At the moment, we're trying to rebuild our numbers, though talks are going on at the moment with regional powers to establish [16.07.2025 23:06:04] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: supply and support networks. [16.07.2025 23:08:01] Lucie.Dubois: Mhm. We don't know much about sirius yet. We never really left Gallia until recently. [16.07.2025 23:08:16] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: If I may ask, why did you leave Gallia? Seems as if it was under duress. [16.07.2025 23:08:38] Gabrielle.Dubois: Ah, you could say as much. We don't want to go back. [16.07.2025 23:09:16] Lucie.Dubois: Ehm.. Let's just say that... bad things happened. And we had to get out. [16.07.2025 23:10:00] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: I see.. Well, I must forwarn you that Sirius is no stranger to hostile faces. [16.07.2025 23:10:32] Gabrielle.Dubois: Well, we are in a more powerful place now. We have fighters, and guns. Not like before. [16.07.2025 23:10:37] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: You would be wise to strike your Union Corse IFFs and register as Freelancers with the IMG. They usually hand out those IFF [16.07.2025 23:10:41] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: codes like candy. [16.07.2025 23:10:59] Lucie.Dubois: I wonder. Your group does seem rather nice. We are in need of uhm, credits. [16.07.2025 23:11:25] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: You shouldn't even need to be on an active contract.. regardless. Most houses will not want to do business with Gallic [16.07.2025 23:11:25] Gabrielle.Dubois: I would not be opposed to helping other girls like us. [16.07.2025 23:11:31] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: unlawfuls. [16.07.2025 23:11:56] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Quite the opposite, they likely would want to see you out of their space. [16.07.2025 23:12:00] Lucie.Dubois: H-Huh. The Unione Corse is considered legal in Gallia. [16.07.2025 23:12:43] Gabrielle.Dubois: More like your Freelancers, yes, though perhaps more organized. [16.07.2025 23:13:04] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: I see. That being said.. I do have personal funds I can give you if you are scraping at the barrel. [16.07.2025 23:13:28] Lucie.Dubois: I mean. I am not opposed to.. funds but. I rather work for it. Sis? [16.07.2025 23:13:43] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Consider it a small gift. [16.07.2025 23:13:46] Gabrielle.Dubois: Mnn, I do not want personal funds, non. Please, I will return this. [16.07.2025 23:13:59] Gabrielle.Dubois: I would much rather work for it, yes. [16.07.2025 23:14:03] Gabrielle.Dubois: And serve something better. [16.07.2025 23:14:12] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Sadly I've not much work for you. [16.07.2025 23:14:54] Ebethron: RO: I see nothing moved around in my absence. [16.07.2025 23:15:01] Gabrielle.Dubois: Ah. So what is your orginization doing then? [16.07.2025 23:15:15] Gabrielle.Dubois: Oh, another liner. [16.07.2025 23:15:19] Gabrielle.Dubois: Good day. [16.07.2025 23:15:23] Lucie.Dubois: Bonjour! [16.07.2025 23:15:30] Ebethron: RO: Minarchists. [16.07.2025 23:15:41] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Mizurashi tends to be on standby. We don't see much of it. [16.07.2025 23:15:46] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Action, that is. [16.07.2025 23:15:59] Gabrielle.Dubois: We are not Monarchists! [16.07.2025 23:16:07] Ebethron: RO: I know. [16.07.2025 23:16:09] Lucie.Dubois: Eww. I take offense. [16.07.2025 23:16:14] Ebethron: RO: Hence why I didn't say that. [16.07.2025 23:16:29] Gabrielle.Dubois: Then what did you say? [16.07.2025 23:16:29] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: If you think we are minarchists, you are sadly mistaken. [16.07.2025 23:16:48] Ebethron: RO: I'm talking to the Corsican. [16.07.2025 23:16:58] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Corsican..? [16.07.2025 23:16:59] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: What? [16.07.2025 23:17:19] Ebethron: RO: Don't know who or what you are, I've never seen Zoner guerrilla in a luxury yatch before. [16.07.2025 23:17:28] Ebethron: RO: Yeah, the Corse folk. [16.07.2025 23:17:45] Gabrielle.Dubois: Well please excuse us if we do not understand. The words are confusing. [16.07.2025 23:17:50] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Here.. we go again.. I swear, I am going to demand Hanamura-sensei do *something* about these IFF codes... [16.07.2025 23:18:14] Lucie.Dubois: Uh. I do not know much about politics. And those words sound very political. [16.07.2025 23:18:15] Ebethron: RO: It's fine mate, I've lost the meaning half the time when talking to gauls myself as well. [16.07.2025 23:18:57] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Yes [16.07.2025 23:19:23] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: There.. on a secure line. [16.07.2025 23:19:25] Gabrielle.Dubois: You requested a comms invite, Major? [16.07.2025 23:19:42] Ebethron: RO: Alright, time to pick a path. [16.07.2025 23:19:46] Lucie.Dubois: Now I have to behave! [16.07.2025 23:19:47] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: The one issue we have had for the longest time is that people keep mistaking us for Zoners because of a fleet-wide IFF issue. [16.07.2025 23:20:05] Gabrielle.Dubois: Well, there seems to be many paths ahead. [16.07.2025 23:20:11] Gabrielle.Dubois: Many directions to go. [16.07.2025 23:20:13] Lucie.Dubois: They seem.. rocky. [16.07.2025 23:20:15] Ebethron: RO: Ronnie, you got a coin, a chip, one of those fancy medals from the war, something that can flip? [16.07.2025 23:20:47] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: I suppose a familiarization flight for us through Kusari is overdue.. and given we're not exactly welcome in Kusari.. I suppose [16.07.2025 23:20:50] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: you have your job. [16.07.2025 23:20:55] Ebethron: RO: Oh yeah, give me the GRN medal, that'd be a fun one. [16.07.2025 23:21:12] Ebethron: RO: Folks, tails or heads? [16.07.2025 23:21:16] Gabrielle.Dubois: We have no medals to give, I'm afraid. Are there any coins in your ship, sister? [16.07.2025 23:21:24] Gabrielle.Dubois: I suppose we could go on a flight, yes. [16.07.2025 23:21:29] Gabrielle.Dubois: At least to look around. [16.07.2025 23:21:32] Ebethron: RO: I don't need yours, got something already. [16.07.2025 23:21:33] Gabrielle.Dubois: What do you think, sis? [16.07.2025 23:21:35] Lucie.Dubois: Tails. [16.07.2025 23:21:40] Lucie.Dubois: Sure! [16.07.2025 23:21:42] Gabrielle.Dubois: Tails it is then! [16.07.2025 23:21:47] Ebethron tossed tails [16.07.2025 23:21:56] Gabrielle.Dubois: Seems to be our lucky day. [16.07.2025 23:22:08] Lucie.Dubois: It is simply our charm that made the coin land on tails. [16.07.2025 23:22:22] Gabrielle.Dubois: Well, good luck. I hope the journy treats you well, strange one. [16.07.2025 23:22:33] Death: Berry.Dingle was put out of action by a hostile vessel. [16.07.2025 23:22:45] Lucie.Dubois: Bonjour! [16.07.2025 23:22:45] Gabrielle.Dubois: Hello hello! [16.07.2025 23:23:29] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Good to see you both made it. We'll enter cruise as soon as the formation is here. [16.07.2025 23:24:06] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: K: Helm, Commence familiarization flight. [16.07.2025 23:24:37] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: H: Yes ma'am, route is plotted, helm manuvering, aye. [16.07.2025 23:25:00] Lucie.Dubois: I've red through the neural net. Seems like Kusari is the only house we are not welcome. [16.07.2025 23:25:20] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: K: You know, she wants us to establish a base out here.. this area may be best. [16.07.2025 23:25:38] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: FCO: It's better than Galileo. [16.07.2025 23:25:47] Gabrielle.Dubois: Youv'e done more reading than me, sis. [16.07.2025 23:25:57] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: K: And yes, that makes three of us. [16.07.2025 23:25:59] Gabrielle.Dubois: Do you know why we are not welcome? I remember there was a war, is it about that? [16.07.2025 23:25:59] Lucie.Dubois: Of course! I need to protect us. [16.07.2025 23:26:07] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Careful, gas pockts here. [16.07.2025 23:26:14] Gabrielle.Dubois: ACK! That is not protecting! [16.07.2025 23:26:34] Lucie.Dubois: Hey, I am trying! [16.07.2025 23:26:43] Lucie.Dubois: This thing isn't exactly fast... [16.07.2025 23:26:55] Gabrielle.Dubois: You had to pick the heavy one! [16.07.2025 23:26:57] Gabrielle.Dubois: Heh [16.07.2025 23:27:15] Lucie.Dubois: I thought the smaller one fits to you more. It's just as cute. [16.07.2025 23:27:54] Gabrielle.Dubois: Yes but the big one has more room. [16.07.2025 23:28:02] Lucie.Dubois: That's why I took it and not you~ [16.07.2025 23:28:18] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Cutting here. [16.07.2025 23:28:20] Gabrielle.Dubois: W-wait, what's that supposed to mean? [16.07.2025 23:28:23] Gabrielle.Dubois: Okay! [16.07.2025 23:28:27] Gabrielle.Dubois: We are on our way. [16.07.2025 23:28:31] [OOC] Gabrielle.Dubois: NP. [16.07.2025 23:28:47] Lucie.Dubois: So I can be the protector and protect you when you come over. [16.07.2025 23:29:21] Gabrielle.Dubois: Heh. Okay, that sounds more cozy~ [16.07.2025 23:30:12] Gabrielle.Dubois: I can see this system looks very pretty. [16.07.2025 23:30:26] Lucie.Dubois: It is! It has two stars. [16.07.2025 23:30:57] Gabrielle.Dubois: A lot less cloudy than the one we come from. [16.07.2025 23:31:02] Gabrielle.Dubois: And look at that pretty planet. [16.07.2025 23:31:15] Gabrielle.Dubois: It's the same color as our ship lights and engines! [16.07.2025 23:31:34] Lucie.Dubois: Oh, it is! [16.07.2025 23:31:54] Gabrielle.Dubois: I would like to fly to it. [16.07.2025 23:31:58] Gabrielle.Dubois: Fly through the rings. [16.07.2025 23:32:28] Princesse.Perdition: Eh? [16.07.2025 23:32:37] Princesse.Perdition: What is this? [16.07.2025 23:32:40] Gabrielle.Dubois: Hmm, look at that [16.07.2025 23:32:54] Gabrielle.Dubois: Salute, Princesse! [16.07.2025 23:33:06] Princesse.Perdition: Oh, Corse. Bienvenue! [16.07.2025 23:33:12] Gabrielle.Dubois: Seems like another from our home is here as well? [16.07.2025 23:33:18] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Brigand Vessel, this is the Ouroboros Diplomatic Ship Mendicant Didact. State intentions? [16.07.2025 23:33:32] Princesse.Perdition: Oui. Though I gather I shouldn't interfere. [16.07.2025 23:33:52] Princesse.Perdition: My intentions are to cause trouble and make money. Though not at the expense of relations... [16.07.2025 23:34:03] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: We are on a familiarization flight through Kusari, these Corsicans have been hired to provide escort. [16.07.2025 23:34:16] Lucie.Dubois: I heard that the kusarian's are bad. So, if you do it to them I doubt I would care. [16.07.2025 23:34:25] Gabrielle.Dubois: Well, it seems like the right place to do it. We just got done talking about how... poorly Kusari is treating its people. [16.07.2025 23:34:32] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Good company, I must admit. [16.07.2025 23:34:43] Princesse.Perdition: Yes, Corse makes for good company. [16.07.2025 23:34:53] Princesse.Perdition: In my experience that is. [16.07.2025 23:34:57] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Indeed. [16.07.2025 23:35:18] Gabrielle.Dubois: We know how to throw some pretty good parties at the very least! [16.07.2025 23:35:29] Gabrielle.Dubois: And as for flying, well, I feel like I've gottne the hang of it. [16.07.2025 23:35:43] Princesse.Perdition: Certainly! The Argenton is a favorite hangout of mine. [16.07.2025 23:36:00] Princesse.Perdition: I suppose I should leave you to your journey. [16.07.2025 23:36:03] Gabrielle.Dubois: Sadly, I do not think we will be going back to Gallia any time soon. [16.07.2025 23:36:29] Princesse.Perdition: Why's that? If you don't mind my asking. [16.07.2025 23:36:48] Gabrielle.Dubois: Ah, sister, what should we say? [16.07.2025 23:36:58] Gabrielle.Dubois: I am not sure if I trust this one. [16.07.2025 23:37:23] Lucie.Dubois: Well. We have been in Gallia for long enough. We sought to spread wings to Sirius. [16.07.2025 23:37:26] Lucie.Dubois: And it's gone. [16.07.2025 23:37:37] Gabrielle.Dubois: Oui! Well... perhaps for the best. [16.07.2025 23:37:39] Lucie.Dubois: Why. [16.07.2025 23:37:46] Lucie.Dubois: Do they ASK AND THEN FLY OFF?! [16.07.2025 23:37:58] Lucie.Dubois: AAAAAAAAARRRRRRHHHHHHHH! [16.07.2025 23:37:59] Gabrielle.Dubois: I think they got impatient. Heh. [16.07.2025 23:38:08] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Can't be helped. [16.07.2025 23:38:10] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Oh? [16.07.2025 23:38:14] Princesse.Perdition: Oh no, I'm still here. [16.07.2025 23:38:15] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: There they are again. [16.07.2025 23:38:17] Gabrielle.Dubois: They are back! [16.07.2025 23:38:28] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Sensor coverage is difficult here it seems. [16.07.2025 23:38:31] Gabrielle.Dubois: And they are gone. [16.07.2025 23:38:37] Lucie.Dubois: Heh. [16.07.2025 23:38:48] Lucie.Dubois: Magic. [16.07.2025 23:38:54] Princesse.Perdition: It's the dust, plays havoc with your scanners. [16.07.2025 23:39:03] Gabrielle.Dubois: Well, now we know. [16.07.2025 23:39:10] Gabrielle.Dubois: The wonders of Sirius dust. [16.07.2025 23:39:13] Gabrielle.Dubois: Kusari dust. [16.07.2025 23:39:24] Lucie.Dubois: Does that mean it's imperial dust..? [16.07.2025 23:39:37] Gabrielle.Dubois: Maybe? At least until the empire is overthrown. [16.07.2025 23:39:58] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Hardly. Kusari hasn't been imperial for years. But it doesn't mean that it has gotten any better. [16.07.2025 23:39:58] Princesse.Perdition: I didn't know Corse was interested in regime change... [16.07.2025 23:40:18] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: To our 2 o'clock, if you see the planet in the distance. [16.07.2025 23:40:22] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Kyushu. [16.07.2025 23:40:24] Lucie.Dubois: We need to get our transponders changed. I am running out of excuses. [16.07.2025 23:40:48] Gabrielle.Dubois: I suppose we should change them, yes. Though not like we readily associate with the rest. [16.07.2025 23:40:48] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: My family came from there. Humble farmers. [16.07.2025 23:40:53] Lucie.Dubois: We are interested in many.. things. Usually, uhm, legal things. Yes. [16.07.2025 23:41:24] Gabrielle.Dubois: I see. That blue ball over there. [16.07.2025 23:41:34] Gabrielle.Dubois: It looks... very blue for farms. Ocean farming? [16.07.2025 23:41:55] Princesse.Perdition: Ooo, one day I hope to have a yacht like that. I'd throw parties even the Corse would be impressed by. [16.07.2025 23:42:14] Lucie.Dubois: Pfff. My parties are the best anyway. [16.07.2025 23:42:45] Gabrielle.Dubois: Well, if you would like to join us, maybe we could all collaberate here with the one already present. [16.07.2025 23:43:35] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: The situation on Kyushu is dire - farmers barely getting by as Synth Foods comes in from Liberty to co-opt any land that has [16.07.2025 23:43:57] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: been lost as a result of the farms being torn apart by recent typhoons. [16.07.2025 23:44:28] Gabrielle.Dubois: Ah. Storms... I don't like storms. [16.07.2025 23:44:53] Gabrielle.Dubois: I hope they can recover. [16.07.2025 23:45:08] Princesse.Perdition: Anything like the hurricanes on Marne? Those become storms of trash when they go on long enough. [16.07.2025 23:45:13] Gabrielle.Dubois: What is a Liberty corperation doing here anyway? [16.07.2025 23:45:19] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Corporate exploitation has affected Kyushu for years. Foreigners.. or the Keiretsu. [16.07.2025 23:45:21] Gabrielle.Dubois: Oui, I have heard of those, Princesse. [16.07.2025 23:45:46] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: We've.. no problems with the gaijin.. many are in our ranks, but.. companies like Synth have nothing but their own malicious [16.07.2025 23:45:54] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: greed to bring to Kusari. [16.07.2025 23:46:30] Princesse.Perdition: *yawn* Well... the trade lanes bring little but empty holds here. I'd best be on my way. [16.07.2025 23:46:34] Princesse.Perdition: Au revoir! [16.07.2025 23:46:39] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Take care, Brigand. [16.07.2025 23:46:47] Gabrielle.Dubois: Goodbye, Princess! I hope to see you again! [16.07.2025 23:46:55] Princesse.Perdition: You as well, Corse! [16.07.2025 23:47:22] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: We may want to seek shelter somewhere for the moment. Come - If memory serves there is a Freelancer-run facility in Shikoku. [16.07.2025 23:47:25] Gabrielle.Dubois: Hmm... Greed is bad. Everyone should just work together. [16.07.2025 23:47:37] Gabrielle.Dubois: Oui! We will come! [16.07.2025 23:48:20] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: I joined the Ouroboros originally because I had grown disgusted by the GC. To this day I still have to take Stabiline to keep [16.07.2025 23:48:22] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: myself alive. [16.07.2025 23:48:33] Gabrielle.Dubois: What is wrong with you? Are you okay? [16.07.2025 23:48:58] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: The GC require that new members be exposed to Cardamine. At least, in most sects. [16.07.2025 23:49:25] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: It is.. extremely addictive, and relapse can result in death if not taken regularly. Continued heavy exposure can even require [16.07.2025 23:49:54] Rules Tip: Do not disconnect from the server to escape player versus player interaction. Your ship will remain helpless in space for 2 minutes and you will not be able to reconnect during this time. [16.07.2025 23:49:59] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: one to go to the Outcast homeworld to immerse themselves in the Cardamine-rich atmosphere. [16.07.2025 23:50:13] Lucie.Dubois: That.. sounds horrible. [16.07.2025 23:50:18] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: It is. [16.07.2025 23:50:21] Gabrielle.Dubois: Yeah, I am so sorry. [16.07.2025 23:50:37] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: But.. I did it, because I wanted to fight for my home. But Hanamura-sensei offered me.. and so many others another choice. [16.07.2025 23:51:47] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Flying through here when I was younger.. always reminded me of Cotton Candy. [16.07.2025 23:52:45] Gabrielle.Dubois: This system is beauteful. [16.07.2025 23:52:51] Gabrielle.Dubois: I love the colors, the clouds. [16.07.2025 23:52:54] Lucie.Dubois: It is very pretty. [16.07.2025 23:52:57] Gabrielle.Dubois: The shimmering of the sun is amazing! [16.07.2025 23:53:05] Gabrielle.Dubois: When we get up tomorrow, will you show us around? [16.07.2025 23:53:08] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: It is. See why I said Kusari has its' own beauty? Even in the face of all this harshness? [16.07.2025 23:53:19] Gabrielle.Dubois: Oui. I do. It only makes me want to help your cause more. [16.07.2025 23:53:21] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Yes. We've not any taskings at the moment so I don't see why not. [16.07.2025 23:53:23] Gabrielle.Dubois: I will dock for now. [16.07.2025 23:53:32] Gabrielle.Dubois: Come on sis. Thank you very much, Major.

You also have my approval to dispense funds if needed to cover any combat you may find yourself in during the familiarization flight. I advise you stay away from Chugoku and Tohoku for the time being. TSK activity is going on in those regions and they.. were not pleased when we suddenly dropped in on them during some sort of fleet exercise. We are still awaiting a response from them, so avoiding any further diplomatic faux pas would be greatly appreciated. Nodoka Hanamura

SENDER: Commander Nodoka Hanamura, Battlegroup Ouroboros RECIPIENT: OCS Skidbladnir Bridge Crew; Major Brett Kensington, SANZU DEVGRU SUBJECT: Regarding today's events ALCON; ALCON; ALCON - This message pertains to the incident that occured today around 22:40 Hours today. Firstly - I hope you enjoy your shore leave on Barrier Gate. I recommend the ramen shop there, as it's probably as close to food from my home as you'll get in this age. Secondly - I.. again apologize for my outburst and prior.. distasteful conduct unbefitting of an officer, let alone your leader. I hope, given the circumstances revolving around the late Joshua Hunt, and his importance to me, that you understand and forgive my error. Thirdly, this interaction with the Auxesian operator Bandit is to not be disclosed. Oerlikon remains in effect. Depending on what comes of the situation with them and Kusari, I may consider restarting diplomatic relations with Auxesia. That being said.. I appreciate Major Kensington for.. trying to resolve the matter with the operator. Fourthly. Upon conclusion of your 72 hour shore leave you are to report back to Galileo to resume intelligence gathering. This will come after Skidbladnir is returned to you following repairs to the EOW suite.. which are long overdue. Your sacrifices are greatly appreciated by me. Do not let my erroneous, emotionally-burdened statements prior dissuade you or convince otherwise. Project Nozomi is going as planned and we should be able to plant the flag as it were in due time - and with the help of our comrades in the region, it will stand against the winds that Maehara fell to. In the mean time, whilst Kotetsu is on fleet defense, you shall be our eyes and ears. Take pride in what you do, for snubcraft win fights, capitals win battles - but intelligence and cunning - win wars. Ouroborosu, banzai. Nodoka Hanamura

SENDER: Commander Nodoka Hanamura, Battlegroup Ouroboros RECIPIENT: FACTION-WIDE BROADCAST SUBJECT: Alea iacta est ALCON; ALCON; ALCON - Yesterday, OCS Skidbladnir made brief yet important contact with Kusari state forces in Galileo as part of intelligence gathering operations. Remnants of Liberty snubcraft and other vessels were witnessed at the scene as the ship arrived on station and immediately withdrew to avoid an overwhelming attack by the KNF forces. At this point, a conflict between House Liberty and Kusari is inevitable. As such, our ROE will be updated accordingly. EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATE, until otherwise directed: ALL FORCES ARE TO ENTER A STATE OF NEUTRALITY WITH HOUSE LIBERTY. OPENING FIRE ON LIBNAV, LIBSECFOR and LIBPOLINC FORCES IS FORBIDDEN. FURTHERMORE, UNLESS OTHERWISE AUTHORIZED FOR THE SAKE OF THE AFORMENTIONED IFF ISSUE, UNTIL OUR IFF CODES CAN BE UPDATED, DO NOT ENGAGE KUSARI FORCES. Yes. These people are corporate swill-drinking, authoritarian-loving flying garbage. But at this juncture they are a useful mass of idiots that could help us by way of distracting Kusari for long enough to ensure we can establish a foothold in their backyard. Regardless, Make no mistake. Liberty are not our friends. And any attempt by them to offer an olive branch will be met with a firm rebuke. As for the order to not engage KUNAVFOR and KUOFFINT assets, this is to avoid confusion given our.. embarassing predicament regarding the Militant IFF we have been squawking for quite some time. I am hoping we can get this issue resolved soon. I get you are asking why this is a concern. Our friends in Pennsylvania are in dire straits, and on the off chance that Kusari, like we are, is exploiting existing wounds in Liberty like theirs - which I have no doubt that they are, I would much rather we not stymie any chances at reprisal and assistance when it comes to the PLF and their associated causes because they manage to mistake us for one of them. The fire rises further, my comrades. Let us exploit this to our advantage. Ouroborosu, banzai. Nodoka Hanamura

SENDER: Major Brett Kensington "Makiri", Battlegroup Ouroboros RECIPIENT: LILITH SUBJECT: Sudbury Anomaly Nodoka, I wanted to bring something to your attention - according to assessments from the XRT operating out in the Libero-Bretonian borderworlds, they are reporting that the astronomical trajectory of the Sudbury anomaly we faintly picked up during Ootori's exploration of the Ontario system last year is expected to make impact with Planet Salina in the Coronado system in the coming weeks. OSINT reports from scientific mailing lists we've been able to subscribe to anonymously suggest it's more likely to hit one of its' moons, but at this point we're not exactly certain. XRT's hypothesizing that this *might* be part of a greater chain of Dom'kavash-related communications or energy transfer - to what ends is anyone's guess. I know we're gearing up to return to Kusari, but.. I fear that if the course continues as is, we might have it entering our neck of the woods sooner rather than later - and god knows what it'll do when it finishes.. whatever in the fuck it's doing. Me and my command upon return of Skidbladnir from maintenance to Barrier Gate will gladly undertake any kind of anomaly assessment, conditions notwithstanding. Maj. Brett Kensington Sanzu Special Developments Group (Sanzu DEVGRU) Battlegroup Ouroboros

SENDER: Commander Nodoka Hanamura, Battlegroup Ouroboros RECIPIENT: XENOBIOTIC RESPONSE TEAM; Brett Kensington, Sanzu DEVGRU SUBJECT: Re: Sudbury Anomaly Brett, You have my blessing to pursue a brief assessment of the impact site and if able, assess whether or not this may pose a threat to us, Kusari or humanity at large. Once you've undertaken that, you're to return to observations in the Galileo system. Nodoka Hanamura

SENDER: Major Jae-un Song, Battlegroup Ouroboros RECIPIENT: 7th Fighter-Bomber Squadron "Tukap" SUBJECT: ORDERS FOR DEPLOYMENT / DIR734 DIRECTIVE 734 KOTETSU FITBDG, STRATOPSCOM OCS UTSUNOMIYA 0300Z 16AUG835 AUTH DOECHAJGI SITUATION For the past 5 years, the system of Pennsylvania has been under Libertonian occupation as a result of accusations of Zoner society in the system hosting Hellfire Legion remnants, Insurgents and other counter-government groups. This culminated following the shootdown of a LSF satellite in orbit over Erie, which brought about the termination of the protectorate status of Erie and the greater Pennsylvania system, and installation of a Navy/LPI joint military junta, which has overseen and partaken in countless crimes against humanity and oppressive acts against the denizens of the system in pursuit of corporate profit and exploitation. As such, CENTCOM has dedicated intelligence, logistics and operational support to forces in the theater, hereafter known as the NAZCA Special Joint AOR. Furthermore, TASKFOR RAMKA has been established, consisting of the OCS Seireka (FFG-01) , OCS Rumako (GBG-03), OCS Rathgrith-II, (GB-05), OCS Yuudachi (FCT-01), OCS Karaage (FCT-02), OCS Kuga (FVB-01) and OCS Manabe (FVB-02), as well as components of the 14FITBOMBDRON 'Notak'. CENTCOM has deemed it fit to escalate support to the Pennsylvania resistance in solidarity with militant activity beyond the initial employment of TASKFOR RAMKA for direct support of allied troops in contact by saddling 7FITBOMDRON to Notak's 1st and 2nd flights for this campaign. We can further confirm presence of Der Platform, New Dawn, PLF and Ashen Hull, and other paramilitaries in the NAZCA Special Joint AOR. MAJ Setsuna Kobayashi of Mizurashi Section shall be handling strategic-level command temporarily from the Skidbladnir until relieved by MAJ Jae-un Song at a later date. Tactical directives shall be handled by OCS Seireka commander LT Kyoya Kirigaya, with joint tactical command being overseen by allied commander Siara Solatra, New Dawn Movement. Succession of command shall be detailed further in COMMAND AND SIGNAL section of this order. MISSION 7FITBOMDRON, pursuant to TASKFOR RAMKA's directives outlined in Directive 732, shall in coordination with elements of TASKFOR RAMKA and allied forces, engage in extensive guerilla warfare campaigns against LIBSECFOR, LIBNAV, and LIBPOLINC forces (hereafter referenced as LIBFOR) within the NAZCA SJ-AOR and possibly within vicinity of the SJ-AOR as needed by CENTCOM or in support of allied troops in contact. EXECUTION Priority targets are corporate, LIBFOR and other transports that may be carrying combat supplies not bound for CP PINNACLE or HP HAIFA, logistics satellites and installations, temporary mooring stations, along with their escorts and security detail the latter only if possible). Priority on GMG, Interspace, Ageira, DSE and LIBFOR Merchant vessels. Secondary objectives are to support Ouroboros and allied ISR, PSYWAR and EWAR efforts. Launch and commit tactics are authorized at your discretion unless otherwise ordered by command. CBRN use is NOT AUTHORIZED AT THIS TIME. The ROE for the OKAZAKI AOR does not apply in this AOR. Engagement of LIBFOR is expressly authorized. However, due to reports of KOI involvement in militant activity, and the delicate situation they find themselves in, all operators in the NAZCA SJ-AOR are to be WEAPONS HOLD W/R/T Kusari Intelligence operators. Do not engage unless engaged. Furthermore, AUXESIA, XENO ALLIANCE, TASKFOR PROMETHEUS, LOVELACE CIRCLE are to be treated as friendly INDFOR. Intelligence sharing is forbidden unless otherwise advised by CENTCOM. Sustainment will provided via OTV Murasaki, OTV Murakami, and allied logistics operations. Requisition shall be handled by TASKFOR RAMKA CO. Defer all EROs, SROs and MROs to LT Kyoya Kirigaya or his adjutant. Maneuvers shall be in accordance with guerilla doctrine, to minimize LIBFOR QRF response effectiveness and maximize 'shock & awe' to devastate morale. Priority on operator survival over short-term success in the battlespace. Additional targets or orders may be provided as addendums to this DEPORD as the situation in the theater develops. Taskings shall be issued via the Joint Tasking Order. Pay close attention to your fragment and affirm with your CO on daily taskings. COMMAND & SIGNAL Command: LT Kyoya Kirigaya Location: OCS Seireka, CP PINNACLE. Succession of Command: LT Kyoya Kirigaya > Siara Solatra (NDM) / COUNTERPOINT (PLF) > MAJ Setsuna Kobayashi > MAJ Jae-un Song > CMDR Nodoka Hanamura Signal: Local Link 32 hub established at CP Pinnacle. Fallback relays are OCS Seireka, OCS Skidbladnir. Relays DL to UTSUNOMIYA. Maj. Jae-un Song Kotetsu Fighter Brigade CO
