Takao

[Mao]

~An introduction~

December 4th, 821 A.S. Yokohama Shipyard

The third "Komainu"-class battlecruiser of the Kusari Naval Forces is leaving the "dry-docks". A skeleton crew of only 50 men is on board. The ship will be undergoing tests for the next 3 months, under the direct supervision of an engineer team that also built it. Representatives from both Samura and Kishiro are part of the crew. The captain is a young naval officer that received his first command. Yokohama suggested a full test of the weapons systems in Nagano.

December 6th, 821 A.S. Rishiri system, grid E-5
The ship receives its first assignment. A number of Golden Chrysanthemum fighters has been discovered. Weapon tests are beginning. A fighter wing is assisting the battlecruiser but they only engage to keep the Chrysanthemums from running away. Automatic turrets are calibrated during this mission. Hit ratio raises with 8%, reaching 69%. The results are satisfactory for a ship armed with anti-capital ships weaponry.

December 8th, 821 A.S. Nagano system, grid C-6
Electronic warfare is being tested when a "Togo"-class battleship appears and attempts to engage. With their sensors scrambled, the enemy has to rely on manual targeting systems which are outdated on old battleships such as the "Togo"-class. The battlecruiser uses it's speed and maneuverability to keep its distance from the heavier unit while dealing damage from long range with its powerful turrets. The ship sustained minor damage and one member of the crew suffered a concussion, slipping on wet floor when he rushed to announce the successful destruction of the enemy.

December 21st, 821 A.S. New Tokyo system, Planet New Tokyo orbit
The newly comissioned battlecruiser is christened "Takao" by the wife of the newly elected president of The Kusari Republic. During the same day, Takao receives the rest of its crew. The supervising team leaves the ship. One hundred active crew members and a squad of thirty marines will call this ship "home" for long periods of time.

---

January 1st, 822 A.S. Honshu system, Yukawa Shipyard
The new assignment of KDS-Takao is called "Protection of Kusari assets in the Honshu system". Weekly patrol cycles were completed by the ship. Daily scout patrols were done by the scout ship on board.

August 08th, 822 A.S. Honshu system, Yukawa Shipyard
KDS-Takao departs to New Tokyo where the crew will receive an extended leave before their new assignment. The captain is invited to a dinner party held by the Admirality board.

---

August 29th, 822 A.S. New Tokyo system, Yokohama Shipyard
The crew mourns the death of one of their members. Ensign Sato Minamimoto and his family were found dead in their house. A KSP investigation is underway. Apart from engineer Minamimoto, the entire crew returned from their leave. The new orders are to attend to the "New Tokyo War Games", a series of simulations meant to train the KNF officers to fight against the Imperial Navy. New tactics are to be put to the test. Captain's creativity is encouraged as long as it doesn't cause damage to the crew or the Naval Forces assets.

January 25th, 823 A.S. New Tokyo system, grid F-5
KDS-Takao encountered an alien entity and a hostile Order capital ship. The size of the alien ship is bigger than anything known to date. It resembles the Nomad "Marduk" but behaves very different. The captain decides not to engage the two ships. Important information is gathered.

Official report of the captain:

The Takao was scheduled for a routine inspection on Yokohama. On our way we encountered an alien entity (Ish'tar) and an Order capital vessel (Order|CV-Sanity). The alien ship was different from any known Nomad forms. Bigger and... different. Our systems gathered some data but I don't think we can rely on it. Primary fleet destroyer Okinoshima also arrived at the location. We decided to observe. The Order was communicating with the alien. All I could gather was that this specific individual was some sort of Overseer and not exactly a Nomad... something else.

Unnecessary to say that the presence of the huge alien, order and two KNF warships in proximity of Narita attracted attention. However, we didn't expect an Outcast Battleship (72nd|MNS-Aurora). We convinced the captain of said vessel to leave Kusari. Okinoshima escorted the foreign warship. Takao remained to observe the situation. That's when another hostile capital vessel appeared. a Dragon Cruiser (Saito.Dosan). Fearing that the Order ship will team up with the new arrival, I decided to not engage and continued to observe the situation.

After a while, Liberty Security Forces arrived. Both the alien and the Order used cloaking technology and vanished. The LSF wing was escorted by members of KSP and Naval Forces to New Tokyo for questioning. You will have to get data about that from other sources because Takao remained where the alien was seen. Readings were still showing anomalies in the area. And they were right. The alien ship re-emerged. This time it contacted us, directly, on secure channels. Unknown protocols. There are no data in the ship's computer about that so you'll have to take my word for it.

Using NeuralNet commercials or movie scenes, the alien was communicating with me. It warned us about the LSF as they are very dangerous and... cheered about us detaining them. Then it... erm... explained the encounters it had with LSF, all times ending in a firefight. It said they wanted something from it but I couldn't understand what.

The alien vanished as it appeared and I was able to return to my duty. The Dragon cruiser suspected us of being infected by the entity. I assured him we're fine and asked him to leave and he did just that. However, several other Dragon fighters, Chrysanthemums and even an Outcast Gunship arrived on the scene. They continued accusing my crew of alien infection and even demanded we commit sepuku. Luckly, our side was also reinforced.

I would like to note the presence of another unknown vessel (Kate.Miller) that showed a very friendly attitude towards us, when she learned we had contact with the said entity. A battle started and we emerged victorious. Then we headed to Yokohama and here we are.

KDS-Takao engages enemy Blood Dragon, Outcast and Golden Chrysanthemum vessels. Three successful detonations confirmed.

Following the recommendations of Primary Fleet officers, Takao enters lockdown at Yokohama Shipyard. Kempeitai and Tokkeitai representatives are expected to arrive.

January 30th, 823 A.S. New Tokyo system, Yokohama Shipyard
Agents Kuma and Kiyohime representing Kempeitai and respectively Tokkeitai have come to interrogate the officers. Prior to this encounter, Captain Kim Sung Park downloaded a portion of the secondary database to a datapad and then deleted the contents from the ship's system. The datapad was given to a certain ensign with a set of instructions. He should be transmitting everything on that pad to a certain Kate Miller once communications are restored.

The crew has, again, been tested for Nomad infection while the officers were interrogated on the bridge. The civilian rescued several days ago gave birth to a healthy boy. At some point, the interrogation has gone totally wrong. Gun fights between marines started on board the Takao. The bridge remained in lockdown. Portions of the interrogatory have been broadcasted through the entire ship. The Tokkeitai agent showed very little respect to the life of the crew members.

[29.01.823 22:20:15] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Hail Takao.
[29.01.823 22:22:32] KDS-Takao: Officer: Konnbanwa, officer.
[29.01.823 22:22:49] [KNF]'Kiyohime': I'm 'Kiyohime', Tokkeitai cell.
[29.01.823 22:23:20] KDS-Takao: Officer: Ah, hai! I suppose you're here to inspect us, sir?
[29.01.823 22:24:06] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Madam. I heard your crew is already taken care of by Kempeitai for examination.
[29.01.823 22:24:38] [KNF]'Kiyohime': However, I would like to see in person the Commanding officer of the Heavy Unit Takao.
[29.01.823 22:25:07] KDS-Takao: Officer: We have underwent medical examinations and ship repairs. No one has questioned us yet. I will inform the captain.
[29.01.823 22:25:08] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Kim Sung Park, was it?
[29.01.823 22:25:19] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Very well.
[29.01.823 22:25:23] KDS-Takao: Officer: Hai, that's the captain.
[29.01.823 22:27:03] KDS-Takao: Kim: Konnbanwa, Kiyohime. Before we being I'd like to make a complain. This matter is taking too long, sir.
[29.01.823 22:28:06] KDS-Takao: Kim: Konnbanwa, Kiyohime. Before we begin, I'd like to make an official complain. This matter is taking too long, madam.
[29.01.823 22:29:01] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Your concern is noted, Captain.
[29.01.823 22:29:51] [KNF]'Kiyohime': However, I certainly do not need to remind you we must be cautious when it comes with any interaction with those aliens.
[29.01.823 22:31:12] [KNF]'Kiyohime': The 113th division has already been lost, and not so long ago, a member of the Admiralty has been compromised...
[29.01.823 22:31:16] [KNF]'Kiyohime': I'm sure you understand.
[29.01.823 22:31:54] KDS-Takao: Kim: I know the procedure, officer and I understand your concern. Maybe we'll be able to leave Yokohama after this meeting.
[29.01.823 22:33:29] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Hai. The only thing left is your interrogation.
[29.01.823 22:34:23] KDS-Takao: Kim: You make it sound so shady, officer. But whatever you have to ask, go ahead.
[29.01.823 22:34:53] [KNF]'Kiyohime': My apologies. I do not mean to cause you stress.
[29.01.823 22:35:25] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Hold on...
[29.01.823 22:35:55] [KNF]'Kiyohime': I will reach Yokohama soon.
[29.01.823 22:36:20] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Consequently, I would appreciate you gather your top officers.
[29.01.823 22:37:23] KDS-Takao: Kim: Understood. My 2IC, engineering, comms and navigation officers are on the bridge.
[29.01.823 22:37:33] [KNF]'Kiyohime': I shall be there soon.
[29.01.823 22:38:28] KDS-Takao: Kim: I won't be able to get the medical officer here. She's taking care of a pregnant passenger that we rescued that day.
[29.01.823 22:39:13] [KNF]'Kiyohime': A pregnant passenger?
[29.01.823 22:39:59] KDS-Takao: Kim: Hai. A civilian.
[29.01.823 22:40:30] KDS-Takao: Kim: We rescued her before encountering the subject. She was forced to remain on board.
[29.01.823 22:40:41] [KNF]'Kiyohime': When did that happen?
[29.01.823 22:42:17] KDS-Takao: Kim: On 25.01.823, 22:34 we rescued the pilot of an escort ship that was attacked by Blood Dragons in grid F-6
[29.01.823 22:42:53] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Fine. We will clarify this. Make way. I am docking.
[29.01.823 22:43:59] KDS-Takao: Kim: The hangars are empty. You are cleared for dock.
[29.01.823 22:45:19] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *The chimaera docks. Meanwhile, a Marines squad enters in the ship and gather in the Battlecruiser docks*
[29.01.823 22:46:52] KDS-Takao: *An ensign meets them and asks...* The officers are on the bridge. Would you like me to show you the way?
[29.01.823 22:47:47] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Marines officer : We were requisitionned by the Tokkeitai. Awaiting for the officer.
[29.01.823 22:48:27] KDS-Takao: Ensign: Oh, you're not... them. My appologies. *he's visibly scared of this inspection*
[29.01.823 22:48:45] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *A woman gets out of the Chimaera. She scans the area, like a weapon turret would, and heads to the Marines team*
[29.01.823 22:49:11] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *She stares at the Ensign*
[29.01.823 22:50:48] KDS-Takao: Ensign: Konnbanwa, sir... madam. The crew is in their quarters... I mean, the officers, madam, they're on the bridge.
[29.01.823 22:51:36] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Lead us there. *She simply says while keeping staring at him*
[29.01.823 22:52:35] KDS-Takao: Ensign: I eh... hai. *he moves towards the elevator that gets them to the upper levels of the ship*
[29.01.823 22:53:20] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *The officer and the marines team follows*
[29.01.823 22:53:37] [KNF]'Kiyohime': How is the crew holding up, Ensign?
[29.01.823 22:54:27] KDS-Takao: Ensign: We're fine, madam... some of us haven't seen our families in months. I was supposed to go home yesterday.
[29.01.823 22:54:45] [KNF]'Kiyohime': I see. Did you notice weaknesses among your ranks?
[29.01.823 22:54:54] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Any suspicious behavior?
[29.01.823 22:55:24] KDS-Takao: Ensign: Emmm, no madam but I'm only working in the docking bay.
[29.01.823 22:55:35] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Understood.
[29.01.823 22:56:21] KDS-Takao: A long corridor opens in front of the elevator, at the top level. At the end there's a door with a sign reading "CIC"
[29.01.823 22:56:45] KDS-Takao: Ensign: There's the bridge, madam.
[29.01.823 22:57:11] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Arigato, Ensign. You may leave now. *Says the officer before getting in*
[29.01.823 22:57:51] KDS-Takao: *he wanishes in a second, braking all kinds a sprint records*
[29.01.823 22:58:52] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *The Marines team spreads out as soon as they reach the bridge, making sure to keep everyone in check*
[29.01.823 22:59:11] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Tokk Officer : Konbanwa. I hope I'm not interrupting anything.
[29.01.823 22:59:55] KDS-Takao: *a bit surprised by the squad of marines, Kim replies* You are actually. We're busy being bored.
[29.01.823 23:00:15] KDS-Takao: Kim: Kiyohime, I suppose?
[29.01.823 23:01:29] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Hai. Naval Forces Secret Police. Glad to meet you all.
[29.01.823 23:02:05] KDS-Takao: *The officers bow* Kim: A pleasure... I hope.
[29.01.823 23:02:46] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Certainly. At ease men. I'm not here to cause you more trouble than you already had.
[29.01.823 23:03:01] [KNF]'Kiyohime': I'm just doing my job, as you are doing yours.
[29.01.823 23:03:20] [KNF]'Kiyohime': The Ensign who lead was telling me you have been in operation since several months?
[29.01.823 23:03:26] [KNF]'Kiyohime': lead us*
[29.01.823 23:03:55] KDS-Takao: Kim: Hai, some of us are on the ship for... what? Five months?
[29.01.823 23:04:10] KDS-Takao: 2ic: Six, sir.
[29.01.823 23:04:28] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Times are difficult as you are certainly aware.
[29.01.823 23:04:49] [KNF]'Kiyohime': The Naval Forces are still attempting to get back to full strength.
[29.01.823 23:04:55] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Everyone has to do its part.
[29.01.823 23:05:25] KDS-Takao: Kim: We're not complaining, madam. We're career officers. But the lower grades need their leaves.
[29.01.823 23:05:39] KDS-Takao: Kim: We don't want a mutiny.
[29.01.823 23:05:42] [KNF]'Kiyohime': That said, if this interrogation is conclusive, I will make sure to add to my report your crew should be allowed to get some -
[29.01.823 23:05:44] [KNF]'Kiyohime': rest.
[29.01.823 23:06:10] KDS-Takao: Kim: That would be great.
[29.01.823 23:07:15] [KNF]'Kiyohime': But enough with this for now. I would like you all to sit on the other side of the strategic desk here.
[29.01.823 23:07:24] [KNF]'Kiyohime': So that I can have you all on my sight.
[29.01.823 23:07:38] KDS-Takao: *the offciers comply*
[29.01.823 23:08:21] [KNF]'Kiyohime': The officer gestures the officer to lower their guard but stay on alert
[29.01.823 23:08:23] [KNF]'Kiyohime': **
[29.01.823 23:08:33] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Do not worry about those soldiers.
[29.01.823 23:08:41] [KNF]'Kiyohime': They are merely a precaution.
[29.01.823 23:08:46] [KNF]'Kiyohime': In case something goes wrong.
[29.01.823 23:09:21] KDS-Takao: *Kim shows a smile that fades away instantly*
[29.01.823 23:10:27] [KNF]'Kiyohime': First, let me know explain in detail while I am here.
[29.01.823 23:10:36] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *The officer makes a pause, reflecting*
[29.01.823 23:10:57] [KNF]'Kiyohime': // let me explain qq
[29.01.823 23:11:55] [KNF]'Kiyohime': As you know, I belong to the Tokkeitai. My duty is to ensure Naval Forces personnel loyalty.
[29.01.823 23:12:29] [KNF]'Kiyohime': It is true we arrested members of the Admiralty before. We only answer to the ministry of defence.
[29.01.823 23:12:59] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Consequently, it would be unwise to hide anything from me.
[29.01.823 23:14:58] KDS-Takao: *The Engineering officer stops tokkeitai officer* So you answer to a politician... great.
[29.01.823 23:15:25] [KNF]'Kiyohime': So does the Admiralty.
[29.01.823 23:15:42] KDS-Takao: Kim: Kaito-san! You will answer when you're asked!
[29.01.823 23:16:13] KDS-Takao: Kim: Appologies for the officer, madam.
[29.01.823 23:16:31] [KNF]'Kiyohime': That is not a worry.
[29.01.823 23:16:37] [KNF]'Kiyohime': We appreciate free speech.
[29.01.823 23:17:21] KDS-Takao: Kim: We're not here to debate politics as he tried to.
[29.01.823 23:20:24] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Hai.
[29.01.823 23:21:50] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Sadly, politics are in everything. But it's not the purpose of this meeting.
[29.01.823 23:26:54] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Now if you please, we will do a short review of your last assignments.
[29.01.823 23:27:22] KDS-Takao: Kim: Hai... how far back do you want to go?
[29.01.823 23:27:36] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Those five months should do. Please go on.
[29.01.823 23:28:26] KDS-Takao: Kim: We're in a tactical combat re-training program.
[29.01.823 23:28:39] [KNF]'Kiyohime': So this is a newly commissioned heavy unit?
[29.01.823 23:29:11] KDS-Takao: Kim: Hah? No. This is the 3rd of its kind. Commisioned in December 821.
[29.01.823 23:29:48] KDS-Takao: Kim: Prior to this program we have been stationed in Honshu.
[29.01.823 23:30:01] [KNF]'Kiyohime': I see.
[29.01.823 23:30:33] KDS-Takao: Kim: Now we're supposed to learn how to beat old KNF tactics... you know, for the Exiles.
[29.01.823 23:31:02] KDS-Takao: Kim: We haven't had one battle with them. The most dangerous enemy we had so far are the Dragons.
[29.01.823 23:31:55] [KNF]'Kiyohime': The Imperials. Hai. It's quite an issue.
[29.01.823 23:32:19] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Sadly, Kusari did not experience civil war since the Samura coup.
[29.01.823 23:33:04] KDS-Takao: Kim: Hai. So that's our story for the last 5 months. New Tokyo and occasionally Hokkaido patrols.
[29.01.823 23:34:05] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Hm.
[30.01.823 16:54:25] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *The agent nodded in a dismissive way* Let's not get into politics indeed. As soldiers, you role is not to comment on house -
[30.01.823 16:54:43] [KNF]'Kiyohime': executive decisions, but to execture orders given to you.
[30.01.823 16:55:18] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Leave petty political struggles to the Parliament and the Admiralty.
[30.01.823 16:55:43] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Execute, that was..
[30.01.823 16:57:49] KPT-Yougekiki.50: *The Tokketai agent is informed Kempeitai officers arrived at Yokohama*
[30.01.823 16:59:31] KDS-Takao: Kim: As I said, please excuse officer Kaito. He's a bit nervous with all this waiting.
[30.01.823 17:00:33] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *The Yokohama main dock security officer leads the Kempeitai agent(s) towards the Takao mooring point*
[30.01.823 17:01:05] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Tokk agent : There is no need for nervosity if you have nothing to hide.
[30.01.823 17:01:51] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Do you have something to hide, Kaito-san? *She asks, expressionless*
[30.01.823 17:02:31] KDS-Takao: Engineering officer: Appologies, madam. I have nothing to hide, of course but I don't have to agree with our politicians.
[30.01.823 17:02:55] KDS-Takao: Eng. Officer: After all, we're a democracy, aren't we?
[30.01.823 17:03:26] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *The marines squad sarg moves forward to whisper something to the Tokk* Ho. It appears you will have another guest, Kim-san.
[30.01.823 17:03:51] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Kempeitai has arrived, this will surely turn to be a quite interesting meeting.
[30.01.823 17:03:53] KPT-Yougekiki.50: *To her team* Proceed deck by deck. Test everyone with no exception. I will be on the bridge.
[30.01.823 17:04:56] KDS-Takao: Kim: Interesting? Why? This will longer now... Kempeitai will probably repeat the questions you asked.
[30.01.823 17:05:17] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Fortunately, I did not ask a lot of them yet.
[30.01.823 17:06:03] KPT-Yougekiki.50: *Minutes later, the Kempeitai agent arrives on the bridge*
[30.01.823 17:06:03] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *The Tokk gestures the Marines team to move away from the bridge main entry*
[30.01.823 17:06:45] KDS-Takao: Kim: You're on board a warship. Evey moment spent here, in "dry-docks" is a moment away from the...
[30.01.823 17:07:07] KDS-Takao: Kim: Ah... and there we have our kempeitai agent.
[30.01.823 17:07:23] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *The Tokk makes a step towards the agent, studying her in a rather cold way* Welcome.
[30.01.823 17:07:39] KPT-Yougekiki.50: Konbanwa. I'm Senior Agent Kuma.
[30.01.823 17:07:54] [KNF]'Kiyohime': I am 'Kiyohime', Tokkeitai.
[30.01.823 17:08:20] KDS-Takao: Kim: Konbanwa, captain Kim Sung Park, under investigation *a smile appears on his face*
[30.01.823 17:08:28] [KNF]'Kiyohime': I wasn't expecting Kempeitai to interfere in this meeting.
[30.01.823 17:08:45] KPT-Yougekiki.50: We take Nomad occurences very seriously.
[30.01.823 17:08:56] [KNF]'Kiyohime': So do we.
[30.01.823 17:08:59] KPT-Yougekiki.50: My team is currently testing all crew members.
[30.01.823 17:09:18] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Again? *She raises an eyebrow* I suppose that's necessary.
[30.01.823 17:09:23] KDS-Takao: Kim: Testing -all- the crew members? Again? Are you out of your mind?
[30.01.823 17:09:43] KPT-Yougekiki.50: We have procedures, Captain.
[30.01.823 17:10:00] KPT-Yougekiki.50: If we have to test two, three, or four times, we will.
[30.01.823 17:10:25] KDS-Takao: Kim: I officialy protest. This is outrageous! The entire crew of 150 people were already medically tested in the 3 days we...
[30.01.823 17:10:29] KDS-Takao: spent here.
[30.01.823 17:10:43] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Kuma, perhaps you should then oversee the examination process, and let me conclude this.
[30.01.823 17:11:32] KDS-Takao: Kim: Your agencies should really share information. This wouldn't have happened if you did that.
[30.01.823 17:11:42] KPT-Yougekiki.50: You may. I will be testing the bridge's crewmen myself for the time being.
[30.01.823 17:11:56] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Your protest is duly noted, Kim-san *She says, staring back at the Captain*
[30.01.823 17:13:01] KDS-Takao: Kim: Leave my crew alone. Do your interrogation and let's be done with this.
[30.01.823 17:13:17] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Tokkeitai is not responsible for this. We are a small cell. We cannot have one operative behind each Captain of the fleet.
[30.01.823 17:13:53] KPT-Yougekiki.50: *The KPT agent begins to roam around the bridge, testing crewmen with her kit*
[30.01.823 17:14:50] KDS-Takao: *The only crew members on the bridge are the high ranking officers, called by the Tokkeitai agent to this meeting*
[30.01.823 17:15:29] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *The marines look at her, curious about those tests. The Tokk observes her for a while, before adding : * Besides, your -
[30.01.823 17:15:48] [KNF]'Kiyohime': organization is not known for its reliability, no offense intended.
[30.01.823 17:16:13] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Consequently, I am not certain sharing Intel with any cell of the Kempeitai would be a wise move.
[30.01.823 17:16:41] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Which cell is worth our trust? We have no authority to police your personnel.
[30.01.823 17:17:02] KDS-Takao: *Captain, 2ic, Engineering, Comms and Navigation officers. The medical officer is missing.*
[30.01.823 17:18:34] KPT-Yougekiki.50: I will refrain from commenting on such statements.
[30.01.823 17:19:14] KDS-Takao: *Kim observes the Kempeitai agent and her medical kit. he nods in support of the Tokkeitai agent affirmations*
[30.01.823 17:20:18] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Suit yourself. *She reports our attention to the Captain* Five months you said. It is odd High Command never ordered a full -
[30.01.823 17:20:19] [KNF]'Kiyohime': rest.
[30.01.823 17:20:44] KDS-Takao: Kim: Ah, finally, we're back to that.
[30.01.823 17:20:55] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Hai. I find this peculiar.
[30.01.823 17:21:29] [KNF]'Kiyohime': This may be an hint about the Admiralty incompetence regarding assets deployments.
[30.01.823 17:21:51] [KNF]'Kiyohime': A hint, even.
[30.01.823 17:21:55] KDS-Takao: Kim: We never had a -full- rest, indeed. But the crew had short leave periods. And only one of the officers could be on leave.
[30.01.823 17:22:56] KDS-Takao: Kim: The ensign you meet later was about to get his leave on the day when the events occured. And...
[30.01.823 17:23:08] KDS-Takao: ... he was supposed to be back... in two days.
[30.01.823 17:23:13] [KNF]'Kiyohime': He complained about that, hai.
[30.01.823 17:23:19] KDS-Takao: Kim: That's two days from now.
[30.01.823 17:24:01] [KNF]'Kiyohime': We will get more details from the Admiralty about this. I suspect your unit has been used for an experiment.
[30.01.823 17:24:31] KDS-Takao: Kim: I won't comment on that.
[30.01.823 17:25:09] [KNF]'Kiyohime': We shall then please get to the real subject, if you please.
[30.01.823 17:26:00] [KNF]'Kiyohime': The report you have sent, while informative, was lacking some key data. I will like to collect it now for further examination.
[30.01.823 17:26:17] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Would like, even....
[30.01.823 17:26:21] KPT-Yougekiki.50: *With proper observation skills, you may see an occasional frown from the KPT Agent*
[30.01.823 17:26:42] KDS-Takao: *The engineering officer was fixing the kempeitai agent*
[30.01.823 17:27:26] KDS-Takao: Eng. Officer: Are you sure your trinket toy is not from Kishiro? Their tools are crap, most of the time.
[30.01.823 17:27:34] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *The Tokk was focusing on the Captain, so she can't have seen anything*
[30.01.823 17:28:30] KDS-Takao: Kim: What parts you think are... lacking? *Kim ignores the officer*
[30.01.823 17:28:42] KPT-Yougekiki.50: Such information is classified.
[30.01.823 17:29:41] KDS-Takao: *The officer smiles sarcasticly* Of course you'd want to keep that a secret. Eveyone would laugh if you'd actually use Kishiro.
[30.01.823 17:30:16] [KNF]'Kiyohime': We have quite a Samura Keiretsu supporter here, it seems.
[30.01.823 17:30:35] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *She says, staring at the officer*
[30.01.823 17:30:47] KDS-Takao: *The other officers exchange smiles and kicks about the joke of the eng. officer*
[30.01.823 17:31:16] KDS-Takao: Eng. Officer: Hai! Is that illegal now?
[30.01.823 17:31:24] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Who is working for Samura in your family again? I do not recall from your file... Was it your father or your brother..?
[30.01.823 17:31:58] KDS-Takao: Eng. officer: Ohoho, the agent has done her homework. Bravo. It's my father.
[30.01.823 17:32:29] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Does he still gambles every saturday?
[30.01.823 17:32:44] [KNF]'Kiyohime': But maybe I'm confusing the files. We do so much 'homework'.
[30.01.823 17:33:01] KDS-Takao: Eng. Officer: My father? So that's where my money are?
[30.01.823 17:33:45] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Hm. Regardless. Your report was just a summary of the events. I will need to access to the ship data core.
[30.01.823 17:33:49] KPT-Yougekiki.50: *The Agent listens to her short range radio and answers. You are unable to understand what they are talking about*
[30.01.823 17:35:16] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Secondly, you notified having done some communication with the Alien. I hope you have a good memory.
[30.01.823 17:35:37] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Otherwise, I will be forced to ask you to participate to a little experiment to make you remember..
[30.01.823 17:35:48] KPT-Yougekiki.50: *After testing the comm and navigation officers, she moves to the engineering officer and starts scanning him with the
[30.01.823 17:35:51] KPT-Yougekiki.50: handheld device*
[30.01.823 17:36:04] KDS-Takao: *Kim stares at the agent* I do. And everything is logged in the main data banks.
[30.01.823 17:36:58] KDS-Takao: *The engineering officer examins the tool* Hah, certainly not Kishiro. Fine, you can test me with this.
[30.01.823 17:37:28] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Ho. Phase detectors. Interesting. *Says the Tokk as she observes the device used by the Kempeitai agent*
[30.01.823 17:37:33] KPT-Yougekiki.50: *The tool appears to be a combination of tech of various origins*
[30.01.823 17:39:46] KDS-Takao: Kim: So, you want me to tell you what we "discussed" with the entity?
[30.01.823 17:40:37] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Hai.
[30.01.823 17:41:12] KDS-Takao: Kim: Entity that wasn't a Nooomad *he said that looking suggestively at the Kempeitai agent that claimed they take Nomad...
[30.01.823 17:41:14] [KNF]'Kiyohime': While you do so, I'm certain the Kempeitai agent right there will conveniently run a memory consolidation integrity test -
[30.01.823 17:41:18] [KNF]'Kiyohime': with her equipment.
[30.01.823 17:41:22] KDS-Takao: ...occurances very seriously*
[30.01.823 17:42:48] KPT-Yougekiki.50: This is definitely very interesting.
[30.01.823 17:43:09] KDS-Takao: Kim: Fine. First of all, the alien had the ability to "broadcast" segments of movies, commercials and other videos directly
[30.01.823 17:43:20] KDS-Takao: Kim: ...to our terminals.
[30.01.823 17:43:45] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Broadcast...?
[30.01.823 17:43:56] [KNF]'Kiyohime': I believe it is the first time I hear something like this.
[30.01.823 17:44:29] KDS-Takao: Kim: It sent us direct signals... I don't find a better word to explain that.
[30.01.823 17:45:18] KDS-Takao: Kim: And of course this would be the first time because... you haven't met such an alien before.
[30.01.823 17:45:30] KDS-Takao: Kim: No one did...
[30.01.823 17:46:09] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Perhaps it was just an illusion. Some leitmotiv destined to make you think you recognize it, as something relevant for your -
[30.01.823 17:46:11] [KNF]'Kiyohime': mind.
[30.01.823 17:47:11] KDS-Takao: Kim: Ha? I'm a trained KNF officer. My mind is under my direct control. I know what was real and what was... not there.
[30.01.823 17:47:26] KPT-Yougekiki.50: I believe it would explain the unusual patterns.
[30.01.823 17:47:44] [KNF]'Kiyohime': When did that Alien broadcast this? Could you recognize a goal in it?
[30.01.823 17:48:26] KDS-Takao: Kim: It was a way to communicate. The selection of clips was a response to my questions.
[30.01.823 17:48:35] [KNF]'Kiyohime': I see.
[30.01.823 17:48:39] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Now, Kim-san.
[30.01.823 17:49:00] KDS-Takao: Kim: It also had telephatic capabilities... like the Nomads.
[30.01.823 17:49:07] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Make an effort and try to recount that conversation from the beginning, without omitting any detail.
[30.01.823 17:49:59] KDS-Takao: Kim: This is what I'm trying to do but you and your colleague keep interrupting.
[30.01.823 17:50:18] KPT-Yougekiki.50: *The KPT agent moves away from the group, communicating with cryptic words over radio once more*
[30.01.823 17:50:45] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Hai. We are listening.
[30.01.823 17:50:48] KDS-Takao: Kim: So, the first... ideas that appeared in my mind were some sort of warning.
[30.01.823 17:51:13] KDS-Takao: It has happened when the LSF wing appeared.
[30.01.823 17:51:32] KPT-Yougekiki.50: *The Tokketai agent is able to understand some of them: Concerning, Not Positive*
[30.01.823 17:51:53] KDS-Takao: They were... labeled as dangerous.
[30.01.823 17:52:41] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *The Tokk eyes moves to capture an image of the Kempeitai agent, without her head moving in any way. She reports her attention-
[30.01.823 17:52:44] [KNF]'Kiyohime': to Kim*
[30.01.823 17:53:11] KDS-Takao: When the other KNF officers escorted them to New Tokyo, the thoughts started to change to some kind of cheer...
[30.01.823 17:53:50] KDS-Takao: *Kim is too absorbed by the story to notice anything*
[30.01.823 17:54:37] KDS-Takao: Kim: That's when the entity re-appeared. It was clear it was scared of the LSF. And if you read the logs, you'd know why.
[30.01.823 17:55:00] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Then?
[30.01.823 17:55:43] KDS-Takao: Kim: It sent ideas of experiments being done by LSF to other aliens. It even pictured aliens doing experiments on LSF...
[30.01.823 17:55:49] KDS-Takao: but that was an illusion
[30.01.823 17:56:16] [KNF]'Kiyohime': How do you know that part was an illusion but not the others?
[30.01.823 17:57:08] KDS-Takao: Kim: Everything was an illusion... the part with aliens experimenting on LSF personnel was a.... how to put it?
[30.01.823 17:57:28] KDS-Takao: Kim: Something like eye for an eye. Or would you like if we did the same to you?
[30.01.823 17:58:00] [KNF]'Kiyohime': You are not very clear.
[30.01.823 17:58:16] [KNF]'Kiyohime': You stated what you experienced was not an illusion earlier.
[30.01.823 17:58:24] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Now you say everything was an illusion.
[30.01.823 17:59:00] KDS-Takao: Kim: Listen, what you have to understand is that that alien was sending its ideas directly to my brain... so everything was
[30.01.823 17:59:01] KPT-Yougekiki.50: *The Agent can be seen analysing the results of the scans as the item emits a series of beeps*
[30.01.823 18:00:05] KDS-Takao: Kim: ...an illusion. But the way the last part appeared was like it was asking a rethorical question.
[30.01.823 18:00:51] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Right. The Alien hatred for LSF. Which is odd. Kempeitai and Naval Forces actively hunt and destroy Aliens as well.
[30.01.823 18:01:10] KDS-Takao: Kim: You don't get it, do you?
[30.01.823 18:01:44] KDS-Takao: Kim: This wasn't your usual alien. The one you hunt down. It was something else and LSF might have their hands on it.
[30.01.823 18:01:55] KDS-Takao: Kim: Or had their hands on it.
[30.01.823 18:02:17] KPT-Yougekiki.50: The entire crew is cleared.
[30.01.823 18:02:25] [KNF]'Kiyohime': What makes you so sure it's any different from what we know? Aliens are known for their trickery mindset.
[30.01.823 18:02:33] [KNF]'Kiyohime': It was just toying with you.
[30.01.823 18:03:01] KPT-Yougekiki.50: There are no cases of infestation or mental link.
[30.01.823 18:03:08] KPT-Yougekiki.50: The patterns however are quite disturbing.
[30.01.823 18:03:25] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *The Tokk gazes at the Kempeitai agent* Elaborate?
[30.01.823 18:03:50] KDS-Takao: *Every officer on the bridge are listening to the captain, except the eng. officer* Eng. officer: You're damned right... what?
[30.01.823 18:04:24] KDS-Takao: Eng. Officer: What patterns? Your toy has Kishiro parts in it, damn it!
[30.01.823 18:04:33] KPT-Yougekiki.50: When the nomads... "talk" with humans, they leave damaged brain connections behind.
[30.01.823 18:04:51] KPT-Yougekiki.50: Depending on the power of the nomad, this damage can be greater.
[30.01.823 18:04:56] [KNF]'Kiyohime': None this time?
[30.01.823 18:05:06] KPT-Yougekiki.50: This is where it is strange.
[30.01.823 18:05:12] KPT-Yougekiki.50: All crewmen report perfect health.
[30.01.823 18:05:22] KDS-Takao: Eng. officer: Can't you understand this wasn't a Nomad?
[30.01.823 18:05:32] KDS-Takao: Kim: Kaito, enough!
[30.01.823 18:05:32] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Only the Captain may have been 'contacted'. What about Kim-san?
[30.01.823 18:06:32] KPT-Yougekiki.50: What is the possibility of having 150 crewmen with not a single disease or viral infection of any kind.
[30.01.823 18:06:56] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *The tokk takes a pause to reflect on this*
[30.01.823 18:07:22] KPT-Yougekiki.50: This is the exact definition of what people would call the perfect human.
[30.01.823 18:07:27] KDS-Takao: Kim: 153, I'm sure you know about our civilian passenger and the two dragons that we captured.
[30.01.823 18:07:34] [KNF]'Kiyohime': The probability is low, but not equal to zero.
[30.01.823 18:07:59] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Taking hasty conclusions is never good.
[30.01.823 18:08:08] KDS-Takao: Kim: Your machine is not working properly, agent.
[30.01.823 18:08:28] KPT-Yougekiki.50: If that thought makes you feel better.
[30.01.823 18:08:47] KDS-Takao: Kim: Our medical officer has reported a flu case last week. I don't know if that was solved.
[30.01.823 18:08:56] [KNF]'Kiyohime': You really imply all that crew had been 'healed' by that Alien to reach perfect biological operation?
[30.01.823 18:09:42] KPT-Yougekiki.50: As you said, we shall not make any hasty conclusion.
[30.01.823 18:09:55] KPT-Yougekiki.50: But I will take a sample of your blood, Captain.
[30.01.823 18:10:06] [KNF]'Kiyohime': If such is the case, what would even be its motive.
[30.01.823 18:10:31] [KNF]'Kiyohime': I could be anything. A biological agent we are unable to detect, working as a time bomb.
[30.01.823 18:10:47] KPT-Yougekiki.50: After what we've witnessed in the Omicrons, that question is highly relevant, Kiyohime.
[30.01.823 18:11:15] KDS-Takao: Kim: One thing is for sure. Not many men live to tell stories about Marduks. While this was the similar shape, it wasn't that..
[30.01.823 18:11:20] [KNF]'Kiyohime': We had two stupid officers who somehow made their way to Omicron Delta, two weeks ago.
[30.01.823 18:11:23] KDS-Takao: ... aggressive.
[30.01.823 18:11:25] [KNF]'Kiyohime': They are still in observation.
[30.01.823 18:11:58] KPT-Yougekiki.50: *She reconfigures the tool, a small panel slides out*
[30.01.823 18:12:04] KPT-Yougekiki.50: Place your finger here.
[30.01.823 18:12:19] KDS-Takao: *Kim does as required of him*
[30.01.823 18:12:27] KDS-Takao: Kim: Will it hurt?
[30.01.823 18:12:34] KDS-Takao: *He then laughs*
[30.01.823 18:12:59] KDS-Takao: Eng. officer: I'm not bleeding over a Kishiro tool...
[30.01.823 18:13:13] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Enough with your Kishiro phobia.
[30.01.823 18:13:48] KPT-Yougekiki.50: Just place your finger here.
[30.01.823 18:14:10] KDS-Takao: *the officer mumbles something. You can hear a few bad words but he agrees to place his finger*
[30.01.823 18:14:55] KDS-Takao: *Internal comms get active. Incoming transmission from the medical bay*
[30.01.823 18:14:55] KPT-Yougekiki.50: *the captain feels pain for a split millisecond as the tool emits one of these hateful beeps*
[30.01.823 18:15:27] KDS-Takao: ???: Med to Bridge. Come in.
[30.01.823 18:15:44] KPT-Yougekiki.50: Agirato for your flawless cooperation.
[30.01.823 18:15:53] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Perhaps you should answer that...
[30.01.823 18:16:00] KDS-Takao: Kim: I told them not to disturb us....
[30.01.823 18:16:20] KDS-Takao: Comms officer: This is the bridge. What is it, doctor?
[30.01.823 18:17:01] KDS-Takao: Doc: You better change the numbers, we're 154 as of now.
[30.01.823 18:17:16] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Ho.
[30.01.823 18:17:21] [KNF]'Kiyohime': The pregnant woman.
[30.01.823 18:17:24] [KNF]'Kiyohime': I forgot her.
[30.01.823 18:17:36] KDS-Takao: Comms: You disturbed us for that, doc?
[30.01.823 18:17:43] KPT-Yougekiki.50: *she frowns*
[30.01.823 18:17:49] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Actually, this may be of some interest.
[30.01.823 18:18:03] KDS-Takao: Doc: It seemed important. Don't need to be so annoyed.
[30.01.823 18:18:15] KDS-Takao: Kim: And how is that important?
[30.01.823 18:19:07] [KNF]'Kiyohime': If we are in front of a biological hazard, bio data coming from a new born could be invaluable.
[30.01.823 18:19:11] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Hai, Kuma?
[30.01.823 18:19:39] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Remind me of the mother, Kim-san, please?
[30.01.823 18:19:40] KPT-Yougekiki.50: I am more concerned on how much it could have been affected.
[30.01.823 18:20:31] KDS-Takao: Kim: The mother... we picked her escape pod. Data recorded showed that she was part of a freelancer trading convoy.
[30.01.823 18:20:59] [KNF]'Kiyohime': I believe both of them should be put in stasis for now.
[30.01.823 18:21:30] KPT-Yougekiki.50: I agree.
[30.01.823 18:21:45] KDS-Takao: Kim: The poor lady was forced to give birth on this ship because of this stupid lockdown. Her husband doesn't even know that
[30.01.823 18:21:49] KDS-Takao: ...she's alive
[30.01.823 18:22:00] [KNF]'Kiyohime': That's perfect then.
[30.01.823 18:22:07] KPT-Yougekiki.50: Captain, please understand this.
[30.01.823 18:22:12] KDS-Takao: Kim: And now you want to keep her here even longer?
[30.01.823 18:22:14] [KNF]'Kiyohime': She will therefore become the property of the Tokkeitai.
[30.01.823 18:22:18] [KNF]'Kiyohime': ie.
[30.01.823 18:22:27] [KNF]'Kiyohime': We will move her and the newborn to Yokosuka.
[30.01.823 18:22:40] KDS-Takao: Kim: My Gods...
[30.01.823 18:22:41] KPT-Yougekiki.50: If you were affected like these initial results show. What makes you think this entity did not do anything further to this new?
[30.01.823 18:22:42] [KNF]'Kiyohime': As... Bio sample, so to speak.
[30.01.823 18:22:52] KPT-Yougekiki.50: *newborn
[30.01.823 18:23:09] [KNF]'Kiyohime': That is what we shall investigate on, Kuma.
[30.01.823 18:23:12] KPT-Yougekiki.50: We cannot take any risk in this situation.
[30.01.823 18:23:27] [KNF]'Kiyohime': What do you suggest then? Immediate termination?
[30.01.823 18:23:46] KPT-Yougekiki.50: Confinement and observation.
[30.01.823 18:23:52] KDS-Takao: Kim: How about you let them go and keep an eye on them. Observe them from a distance...
[30.01.823 18:24:20] KDS-Takao: Kim: If anything happened, it should be allowed to evolve naturally and you could get the right readings
[30.01.823 18:24:27] [KNF]'Kiyohime': I'm glad you agree then, Kuma. Those the mother and the newborn will be put in stasis and sent to Yokosuka for observation.
[30.01.823 18:24:40] KDS-Takao: Kim: No, they won't!
[30.01.823 18:24:50] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Please relay the order to put them in stasis at once to your Medical officer.
[30.01.823 18:25:13] [KNF]'Kiyohime': They won't..? *Asks kindly the Tokk while staring at Kim*
[30.01.823 18:25:36] KDS-Takao: Kim: Keep in mind that the mother and her son are now my responsability.
[30.01.823 18:25:44] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Not anymore.
[30.01.823 18:25:55] KDS-Takao: Kim: As long as they're on my ship, they are, agent!
[30.01.823 18:26:11] [KNF]'Kiyohime': This was not a request, Captain. It was an order.
[30.01.823 18:26:32] KDS-Takao: Kim: Initial medical tests showed that the mother and her son are fine. That will be enough.
[30.01.823 18:26:38] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Comply. Or do you prefer me to arrest you? It can be done.
[30.01.823 18:26:58] KPT-Yougekiki.50: //brb
[30.01.823 18:27:47] KDS-Takao: Kim: Agent, let's not fight over this, please. You don't get to order me on my ship. If only one of your men touches that boy..
[30.01.823 18:28:04] KDS-Takao: ...without my approval, I'm making everything public.
[30.01.823 18:28:32] KDS-Takao: Kim: The KNF will not abduct civilians for your sick experiments!
[30.01.823 18:29:09] KDS-Takao: Kim: And if you think for a second that I will allow you to arrest me over this, you're gravely mistaken.
[30.01.823 18:29:12] KPT-Yougekiki.50: Captain Kim, this is out of your control.
[30.01.823 18:29:34] KDS-Takao: Eng. Officer: That's the spirit, captain!
[30.01.823 18:29:41] [KNF]'Kiyohime': You appear to have forgotten where your loyalty lies. The Tokkeitai has dealt with Admirals in the past. A Captain like yourse-
[30.01.823 18:29:52] [KNF]'Kiyohime': lf is nothing to us.
[30.01.823 18:30:09] KDS-Takao: Kim: This is not out of control, agent.
[30.01.823 18:31:07] KDS-Takao: Kim: I am here to protect civilians of Kusari and others that visit our house. You're not doing that.
[30.01.823 18:31:18] KPT-Yougekiki.50: *she slowly slides her left hand close to her holstered gun*
[30.01.823 18:31:30] KDS-Takao: Kim: That's where my loyalty is. Agent!
[30.01.823 18:32:00] KPT-Yougekiki.50: And what if that child was interfered if? What if that child, years from now, becomes the bane of all mankind.
[30.01.823 18:32:07] KPT-Yougekiki.50: *interfered with
[30.01.823 18:32:11] [KNF]'Kiyohime': That's exactly what Tokkeitai is doing. Our means to do so may be often unethical, but someone has to take those.
[30.01.823 18:32:19] [KNF]'Kiyohime': And if you are not ready to take them, we shall.
[30.01.823 18:32:27] KDS-Takao: Kim: Keep your hands at bay. We have 30 loyal marines on board. Keep that in mind.
[30.01.823 18:32:35] KPT-Yougekiki.50: Do you want to be known as Captain Kim, the one that caused the human race to be wiped?
[30.01.823 18:32:57] KDS-Takao: Kim: You will observe the family, without interfeering. That's the only sollution to this.
[30.01.823 18:33:14] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Those Marines are not here. *She gestures her Marines to guard the entrances and to keep the ship officers in check*
[30.01.823 18:34:20] KDS-Takao: Kim: Oh please... I'm sure you remember the ensign. He has a datapad containing every bit of information regarding this.
[30.01.823 18:34:47] KDS-Takao: Kim: If we don't get out of here alive and free, he sends everything on the neuralNet.
[30.01.823 18:35:20] KPT-Yougekiki.50: That is not a concern.
[30.01.823 18:35:28] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Blackmail now? How low can you fall.
[30.01.823 18:35:30] KPT-Yougekiki.50: You do not want protocol shoukyo to be activated.
[30.01.823 18:36:06] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Kim-san! I will try to summarize things slowly. If you do not comply at once, I will have no remorse to execute you for treason
[30.01.823 18:36:10] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Right here. Right now.
[30.01.823 18:36:22] [KNF]'Kiyohime': And you know this is part of our attribution.
[30.01.823 18:36:23] KDS-Takao: Kim: I fall?! I fall, agent? What about you and the kempetai abducting civilians?
[30.01.823 18:36:51] KPT-Yougekiki.50: If they are discovered to not have been interfered with, they will be released.
[30.01.823 18:36:56] KPT-Yougekiki.50: We are not heartless.
[30.01.823 18:37:20] [KNF]'Kiyohime': The ends justify the means.
[30.01.823 18:37:38] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Keep honor for fairytales. This universe has no place for it.
[30.01.823 18:37:54] KDS-Takao: Eng. Officer: Cap, I say we finish them and take the ship to Kyushu.
[30.01.823 18:38:25] [KNF]'Kiyohime': You are no wise.
[30.01.823 18:38:32] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *The t
[30.01.823 18:39:04] KDS-Takao: Kim: Arrest him.
[30.01.823 18:39:10] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *The Tokk sighs and makes a call using her comm device*
[30.01.823 18:39:21] [KNF]'Kiyohime': If this keeps going, you shall all end in a cell.
[30.01.823 18:39:39] KDS-Takao: Eng. officer: What? Captain!
[30.01.823 18:39:43] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Do you think this will help those civilians you claim to want to protect?
[30.01.823 18:40:05] [KNF]'Kiyohime': I just called our headquarters.
[30.01.823 18:40:52] KDS-Takao: Kim: Arrest him, I said! *The engineering officer reaches his handgun and aims at the Kempeitai agent*
[30.01.823 18:41:34] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *The Tokk stares calmy at the officer* What are you waiting?
[30.01.823 18:41:51] KDS-Takao: *The other officers on the bridge take cover behind terminals*
[30.01.823 18:41:57] KPT-Yougekiki.50: What a situation you are now in.
[30.01.823 18:42:29] KDS-Takao: Eng. Officer: They were right. You have absolutely no honor left in you. Kusari is doomed.
[30.01.823 18:42:36] [KNF]'Kiyohime': You won't shoot? Fine. *She eyes a Marine to disable him*
[30.01.823 18:42:57] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *The Marine aims at the kneecap of the officer...*
[30.01.823 18:43:35] KDS-Takao: *The officer fires his weapons but misses and falls on the ground*
[30.01.823 18:44:13] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *The Tokk eyes again one Marine to capture him*
[30.01.823 18:44:39] [KNF]'Kiyohime': By the authority given to Tokkeitai by the Ministry of Defence, you are now under arrest.
[30.01.823 18:44:43] KDS-Takao: Kim: You could have done before he went for the gun.
[30.01.823 18:45:03] KDS-Takao: Kim: Kaito-san, you dishonored the crew of this vessel.
[30.01.823 18:45:31] KDS-Takao: Kim: Now, agents. Let's calm down a little.
[30.01.823 18:45:37] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Now, Kim-san, give the order to put the two civilians in stasis.
[30.01.823 18:45:43] [KNF]'Kiyohime': I am calm.
[30.01.823 18:46:00] KDS-Takao: Kim: Not before you answer some of my questions.
[30.01.823 18:46:30] [KNF]'Kiyohime': You are -this- close to end an a cell for the rest of your life. Do you really wish to push your luck?
[30.01.823 18:46:36] KPT-Yougekiki.50: *She seizes her radio* All Kempeitai assets, prepare for protocol shoukyo until I dismiss this order. Nobody leaves this ship.
[30.01.823 18:46:37] KDS-Takao: Kim: How long will you keep them? What will happen to them? Will the father be informed?
[30.01.823 18:46:50] [KNF]'Kiyohime': But I suppose I can answer your questions if they are not related with classified data...
[30.01.823 18:47:07] KDS-Takao: Kim: You are on my ship, agents.
[30.01.823 18:47:44] [KNF]'Kiyohime': We would be on Heaven's gate that it would not change anything about our authority.
[30.01.823 18:47:50] KPT-Yougekiki.50: Your ship is our ship until you are cleared.
[30.01.823 18:47:54] KDS-Takao: *Kim makes a sign to the Comms officer that had grabbed a radio when he went for cover*
[30.01.823 18:48:04] [KNF]'Kiyohime': About your question, the father will be informed they are detained.
[30.01.823 18:48:40] [KNF]'Kiyohime': They will be released when the Tokkeitai deems it acceptable.
[30.01.823 18:48:49] KDS-Takao: *The officer presses one button and then leaves the radio on the floor*
[30.01.823 18:49:43] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Why are you so concerned about them?
[30.01.823 18:49:52] KDS-Takao: Kim: You will inform him right now, in my presence. The woman can give you the contact informations.
[30.01.823 18:49:56] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Emotional bounds are a weakness.
[30.01.823 18:50:03] KPT-Yougekiki.50: Is there something you are not telling us regarding these individuals?
[30.01.823 18:50:05] KDS-Takao: Kim: They've done nothing to deserve this ordeal
[30.01.823 18:50:23] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Plenty of people have done nothing to deserve what they experience...
[30.01.823 18:50:26] [KNF]'Kiyohime': One more, one less.
[30.01.823 18:50:33] [KNF]'Kiyohime': What matters is the bigger picture.
[30.01.823 18:50:42] [KNF]'Kiyohime': As a Battlecruiser Captain, you should know this.
[30.01.823 18:50:47] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Your crew is your family.
[30.01.823 18:50:47] KDS-Takao: Kim: There's no bigger picture, agent.
[30.01.823 18:50:53] [KNF]'Kiyohime': There is one.
[30.01.823 18:51:11] KDS-Takao: Kim: Fine, there is one. Let me explain it to you.
[30.01.823 18:51:32] [KNF]'Kiyohime': As a Captain, you should know you have to take decisions that might get your crew in danger for nothing... Just because it -
[30.01.823 18:51:35] [KNF]'Kiyohime': was an order.
[30.01.823 18:51:51] [KNF]'Kiyohime': The lives of your crew matter less than your orders. The bigger picture.
[30.01.823 18:52:05] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Some suffer for all to prosper.
[30.01.823 18:52:07] KDS-Takao: Kim: We are officers of the Kusari Naval Forces. We have chosen this career because we wnat to defend civilians of injustice
[30.01.823 18:52:20] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Injustice is everywhere.
[30.01.823 18:52:35] KDS-Takao: Kim: The mother already saw her death before her eyes when she was attacked by the Dragons
[30.01.823 18:53:05] KDS-Takao: Kim: Medical exams showed nothing wrong with her or her child.
[30.01.823 18:53:12] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Stop getting emotionally invested in this.
[30.01.823 18:53:30] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Or, as Kuma pointed out... Are you hiding something about them?
[30.01.823 18:53:40] KDS-Takao: Kim: I am not. I cooperated with you this entire time. But this is too much.
[30.01.823 18:53:51] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Nothing is too much for Kusari.
[30.01.823 18:54:36] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Take it as a token of your loyalty, if you really need a reason...
[30.01.823 18:54:38] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Now comply.
[30.01.823 18:54:57] KDS-Takao: Kim: This is not the Kusari I want to defend then.
[30.01.823 18:55:25] KDS-Takao: Kim: Officer... *he looks at the Comms officer*
[30.01.823 18:55:42] [KNF]'Kiyohime': You don't understand, Kim-san.
[30.01.823 18:55:54] [KNF]'Kiyohime': You truly don't understand, and this is saddening.
[30.01.823 18:56:21] KDS-Takao: Comms officer: Hai! *he shouts into the radio* Engage!
[30.01.823 18:56:42] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *The Marines raise their weapons, ready to fire at the officers*
[30.01.823 18:57:19] KDS-Takao: Kim: Right now, your other marines, are being captured... or killed by my marines on the ship.
[30.01.823 18:57:35] KPT-Yougekiki.50: It doesn't matter.
[30.01.823 18:57:44] [KNF]'Kiyohime': You cannot win this.
[30.01.823 18:57:48] KPT-Yougekiki.50: You will not be able to go anywhere.
[30.01.823 18:57:53] KPT-Yougekiki.50: Protocol Shoukyo is active.
[30.01.823 18:57:54] [KNF]'Kiyohime': This will only bring your downfall.
[30.01.823 18:58:27] KDS-Takao: Kim: Maybe. But I know I died for the right reasons. That is, of course, if you don't want to change your orders.
[30.01.823 18:58:30] KPT-Yougekiki.50: We are ready to go down with the ship if it is so, to safeguard Kusari.
[30.01.823 18:58:44] KDS-Takao: Kim: Kusari is not at stake here!
[30.01.823 18:58:52] [KNF]'Kiyohime': It always is.
[30.01.823 18:59:00] KPT-Yougekiki.50: You have not seen what we've seen.
[30.01.823 18:59:16] KDS-Takao: *Kim smiles* Neither have you.
[30.01.823 19:00:08] [KNF]'Kiyohime': You see as as despicable people taking inhuman decisions... Yet if those decisions were not taken, plenty of civilians would
[30.01.823 19:00:08] KDS-Takao: Comms officer: Sir... most of the marines were captured. Two dead. A few are still fighting.
[30.01.823 19:00:11] [KNF]'Kiyohime': not be safe.
[30.01.823 19:00:24] [KNF]'Kiyohime': us, even..
[30.01.823 19:01:24] KDS-Takao: Comms officer: The doc has reported that he can't contact the father of the child.
[30.01.823 19:01:49] KDS-Takao: Kim: Of course she can't.
[30.01.823 19:02:36] KDS-Takao: Kim: Open the comms, agent! Open them and inform him yourself that his wife and child are being held hostage on a KNF ship.
[30.01.823 19:03:40] [KNF]'Kiyohime': And what will you do once I do this?
[30.01.823 19:04:59] KDS-Takao: Kim: I will let you arrest me.
[30.01.823 19:05:46] KDS-Takao: Navigation officer: Sir! You can't do that.
[30.01.823 19:05:50] [KNF]'Kiyohime': And you think this will get things any better?
[30.01.823 19:06:28] [KNF]'Kiyohime': If you so wanted to protect the civilian population, you would accept two lives must be sacrificed.
[30.01.823 19:06:41] KDS-Takao: Kim: Hai! The woman will be treated fairly since her husband will know what's going on. She's a libertonian citizen.
[30.01.823 19:06:53] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Because such a sacrifice would allow you to keep protecting more and more civilians.
[30.01.823 19:06:55] KDS-Takao: Kim: You won't risk an international incident.
[30.01.823 19:07:17] KDS-Takao: Kim: Find another way to protect Kusari, agent! This is not the right way!
[30.01.823 19:07:45] [KNF]'Kiyohime': The Tokkeitai exists since centuries. Who are you to question our methods?
[30.01.823 19:08:12] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Our actions protected Kusari again and again.
[30.01.823 19:08:31] [KNF]'Kiyohime': We may just be boogeymen to you Naval Forces personnel.
[30.01.823 19:08:44] [KNF]'Kiyohime': But we always have a good reason to do what we do.
[30.01.823 19:08:44] KDS-Takao: Kim: So did mine and guess what? I haven't abducted civilians or experimented on them.
[30.01.823 19:09:23] [KNF]'Kiyohime': We are facing a potential infection here. We must take all the measures to protect mankind against it.
[30.01.823 19:09:46] KDS-Takao: Kim: No, we're not. The medical tests showed everything is in order.
[30.01.823 19:09:48] [KNF]'Kiyohime': You should be glad we do not prognize the extermination of the Takao crew.
[30.01.823 19:09:57] KDS-Takao: Kim: They're as human as you and me.
[30.01.823 19:10:00] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Precognize, even.
[30.01.823 19:10:58] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *Sighs* Fine. Would you approach for a moment, Kim-san?
[30.01.823 19:11:30] KDS-Takao: *Kim throws a radio at the feet of the agent* Make the call.
[30.01.823 19:11:43] KDS-Takao: Kim: Then I'll apporach.
[30.01.823 19:11:50] KDS-Takao: Approach*
[30.01.823 19:12:52] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *The Tokk stares at Kim* I swear the father will be informed.
[30.01.823 19:13:06] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Will you now question my integrity?
[30.01.823 19:13:28] KDS-Takao: Kim: Your promises mean nothing. You have no honor as you pointed out yourself.
[30.01.823 19:13:44] [KNF]'Kiyohime': My patience is running low.
[30.01.823 19:13:47] KDS-Takao: Kim: Open the damned comms!
[30.01.823 19:14:43] KDS-Takao: Kim: Know this, agent. You won't leave this ship alive. The last part of our conversation has been heard by everyone on board.
[30.01.823 19:15:11] [KNF]'Kiyohime': I'm afraid nobody will leave this ship alive at this rate.
[30.01.823 19:15:12] KDS-Takao: Kim: You can't possibly hope that you'll convince them to let you go after what you said.
[30.01.823 19:15:47] KDS-Takao: Kim: That's true. So, make the call, and arrest me. That's the only way.
[30.01.823 19:16:55] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *The Tokk bends to get the comm device* Are you expecting it to be magically linked with the Neural node of the father?
[30.01.823 19:17:44] KDS-Takao: Kim: No, that's for you to open the comms. The details of the father's neuralnet are on this terminal.
[30.01.823 19:19:53] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *The Tokk reaches the terminal while staring at Kim. She then proceeds to do what's needed to reach the destination*
[30.01.823 19:20:14] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Konbanwa. *She says on the radio*
[30.01.823 19:21:08] KDS-Takao: *While the comm channels are open, the Ensign sends the contents of his datapad to a new destination. The transmission...
[30.01.823 19:21:49] KDS-Takao: ... is traced to a person named Kate Miller*
[30.01.823 19:23:39] [KNF]'Kiyohime': This is 'Kiyohim', come in.
[30.01.823 19:24:03] [KNF]'Kiyohime': e*
[30.01.823 19:24:12] KDS-Takao: Kim: Comms, can you confirm that she's using the right channel?
[30.01.823 19:26:37] KDS-Takao: Comms: Yes, sir. It's the right channel.
[30.01.823 19:27:23] KDS-Takao: Kim: Good, agent. See, we're getting along.
[30.01.823 19:27:32] [KNF]'Kiyohime': I'm calling you to inform you your wife and your newborn child will be detained by Kusari Naval Forces for an undefined amount-
[30.01.823 19:27:36] [KNF]'Kiyohime': of time.
[30.01.823 19:28:33] KDS-Takao: Comms officer: He's going mad, sir...
[30.01.823 19:28:55] KDS-Takao: Kim: See what you're causing with your methods?
[30.01.823 19:29:03] [KNF]'Kiyohime': We will make sure to get back to you to inform you about their well being.
[30.01.823 19:29:23] [KNF]'Kiyohime': I sadly cannot reveal anything about this affaid, I'm sure you understand.
[30.01.823 19:29:28] [KNF]'Kiyohime': affair*
[30.01.823 19:31:10] KDS-Takao: *Kim slowly throws his sidearm on the floor and gestures to one of the marines to cuff him*
[30.01.823 19:31:46] KDS-Takao: *The marine looks at the Tokkeitai for confirmation*
[30.01.823 19:32:32] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *The Tokk cuts the transmission* We would have informed the father anyway. All this is a waste of energy.
[30.01.823 19:33:02] KDS-Takao: Kim: No, you wouldn't have.
[30.01.823 19:33:15] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *She gestures the Marine to not do so for now* Come to me, Kim-san.
[30.01.823 19:33:32] KDS-Takao: *Kim approaches*
[30.01.823 19:34:35] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *The Tokk stands before him, looking at him scornfully* You have made things incredibly difficult.
[30.01.823 19:35:13] KDS-Takao: Kim: At least I'm not infected.
[30.01.823 19:35:20] [KNF]'Kiyohime': You also have questionned my authority before your subordinates. This deserves a reward.
[30.01.823 19:36:47] KDS-Takao: Kim: Everyone should when authority is walking a dangerous path.
[30.01.823 19:37:42] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *The Tokk proceeds to suddenly beat him down in a ruthless way, aiming at all the imaginable sensible points of his anatomy.
[30.01.823 19:37:44] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *
[30.01.823 19:38:38] KDS-Takao: *The move takes Kim by surprise and he hits the ground, in pain*
[30.01.823 19:40:03] KDS-Takao: *The navigation officer points his gun at the agent* That's enough!
[30.01.823 19:40:11] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *The woman keeps giving him kicks in the belly with a great deal of diligence, without displaying a hint of emotion*
[30.01.823 19:41:02] KDS-Takao: Nav. officer: I said -that's enough-! The man is unarmed. Act professional!
[30.01.823 19:42:04] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *She eventually stops, and stares at the Navigation officer* His behavior was calling for it.
[30.01.823 19:42:16] KDS-Takao: Nav. officer: You better hope he can order those marines to stand down or you won't get off this ship.
[30.01.823 19:42:23] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Cuff him *She then says to the Marine who was still waiting, with a wtf face*
[30.01.823 19:42:51] KDS-Takao: *The navigation officer holsters his gun*
[30.01.823 19:44:59] KDS-Takao: *Badly hurt, with his hands arround his stomach, Kim tries to say something* Yo...u, bit...
[30.01.823 19:45:28] [KNF]'Kiyohime': I may be a bitch, Kim-san. But I serve Kusari as much as you do.
[30.01.823 19:45:54] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Now get up.
[30.01.823 19:47:08] KDS-Takao: *He gets up on his feet but barely maintains his balance*
[30.01.823 19:47:42] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *She places a hand on his shoulder* I understand you desire to see those civilians safe. You have my word they will be treated-
[30.01.823 19:47:47] [KNF]'Kiyohime': As correctly as possible.
[30.01.823 19:48:14] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *She then removes her hand* Unlike you...
[30.01.823 19:48:21] [KNF]'Kiyohime': You are under arrest.
[30.01.823 19:48:51] KDS-Takao: Kim: You... your wor...d mea...ns shi...t
[30.01.823 19:49:21] [KNF]'Kiyohime': I am a member of this First trust circle. My word actually means a lot.
[30.01.823 19:49:38] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Believe what you want, regardless.
[30.01.823 19:51:24] KDS-Takao: Kim: Are we... done he.. here?
[30.01.823 19:52:16] [KNF]'Kiyohime': You put words out of my mouth. We shall leave with you two, the civilian female and her newborn.
[30.01.823 19:53:44] KDS-Takao: *Kim gives her a killer look*
[30.01.823 19:54:49] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *She ignores his stare, while getting in touch with the med bay using the bridge comm array* Medical officer, prepare the lady-
[30.01.823 19:54:59] [KNF]'Kiyohime': and her baby for statis.
[30.01.823 19:56:13] KDS-Takao: Doc: We're ready... as a side note I do not agree with this.
[30.01.823 19:56:36] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Noted.
[30.01.823 19:57:22] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *She then closes the comm line* Let us move.
[30.01.823 19:58:12] KDS-Takao: *When the doors of the bridge open, 6 marines aim their guns towards them. Kim signlas them to lower their weapons*
[30.01.823 19:58:14] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Marines, we are leaving. *She says to the Marines squad*
[30.01.823 19:58:41] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Your men are obeying you well. I'm impressed.
[30.01.823 19:59:45] KDS-Takao: *Signs of a small gunfight could be seen. The body of a marine lays just in front of the elevator*
[30.01.823 20:00:15] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *The Tokk ignores them and gestures the team to advance*
[30.01.823 20:02:49] KDS-Takao: *When they pass the lower levels, members of the crew watch the beaten captain and show disgust towards the Tokk*
[30.01.823 20:03:38] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *The Tokk glances at them calmly* Good evening.
[30.01.823 20:04:34] KDS-Takao: *The Doctor waits outside the medical bay*
[30.01.823 20:04:51] KDS-Takao: Doc: They're ready... agent.
[30.01.823 20:05:25] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Arigato, medic. Did you put them in stasis chambers?
[30.01.823 20:05:55] KDS-Takao: Doc: Hai.
[30.01.823 20:06:56] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Very well. I'm calling a worker team from the docks to help with their transport *she says, before using her comm unit*
[30.01.823 20:08:20] KDS-Takao: *The doctor looks at the captain* Doc: What have you done to him? This man requires medical attention.
[30.01.823 20:08:33] [KNF]'Kiyohime': Do not worry. We will take care of this.
[30.01.823 20:10:38] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *The workers team arrive. The Tokk orders them to move the stasis chambers*
[30.01.823 20:11:26] KDS-Takao: Doc: What will happen now, agent?
[30.01.823 20:12:01] [KNF]'Kiyohime': They will be transferred to Yokosuka for observation. Do not worry, no harm will be done to them.
[30.01.823 20:15:14] [KNF]'Kiyohime': *The group eventually leaves the ship. Plenty of marines are waiting them outside*

Following a KSP report on a illegal base, Takao relocated from the Hokkaido system and proceeded to investigate and plan the removal of said base. A gunboat belonging to the Hogosha group known as Sigma Wing was already on scene. Tactical assessment found that the base had absolutely no defenses. Takao opened fire and removed the station minutes later. The Medium Blue Green of Kusari claimed the remaining debris.

The presence of Tokkeitai agent 'Sankai' and the interdiction of rest time, keeps the crew under pressure. However, there has been no sign of misconduct from anyone, including the officers. Takao is heading to Yokohama where it should receive new personnel and possible new officers for the open positions.
