The Arch Storm

[Shagohad]

One mind, one goal, one purpose...

Sahaquiel

On the darkest of days and the brightest of nights, we prowl.


The alluring embrace of our benefactors is graced by their abodes. We acquire teeth.


The intimate embrace of the minds is satisfied by an individual. She prayed to us for a better tomorrow. She received a more better today.


Her sister was not so favorable, her ignorance amusing us.


With our acquaintances made, we returned to the Arch, bearing no gifts worthy of our family. We apologize.

One mind, one goal, one purpose...

Sahaquiel

We left, towards the Empire, we scouted out a suitable civilian transport, we took took his scientists.

In Honshu we found some foolish pilots, too loud, too dangerous...

Sahaquiel: Halt, in the name of the Taishogun!
Sahaquiel: We will not warn you again!
Shadowhunter: mnh?
Sahaquiel: One chance trader
Shadowhunter: what do yousa want from me, nomad rheinland?
Sahaquiel: Taishogun forgive us...
Sahaquiel: We require some of those parts
Shadowhunter: from me?
Sahaquiel: Those lane parts, I require 30 of them
Dr.Centura: why?
Shadowhunter: give him 30
Shadowhunter: he will destroy you if you dont give him
Dr.Centura: will you pay?
Sahaquiel: You don't have a choice
Shadowhunter: give him 30 of your gate/lane parts
Sahaquiel: Last chance
Shadowhunter: why are you a nomad infected rheinland military soldier?
Sahaquiel: Move along
Shadowhunter: pay him doc
Shadowhunter: ok
Sahaquiel: You saw nothing
Shadowhunter: please answer question
Dr.Centura: your mom saw nothing
Sahaquiel: We do not need to
Shadowhunter: why are you a nomad infected rheinlander?
Sahaquiel: Such rude words...
Sahaquiel: We am in control here, observe

They fell, we gathered the debris.

In New Tokyo, there was a Liner full of guns, we hailed it.

It refused to respond, we opened it up and took what we wanted.

More useful cargo for the cause...

Success.

Home is behind, the world ahead.
There are many paths to tread,
Through shadow, through the edge of night!
Until the stars are all alight.
Mist and shadow, cloud and shade,
All shall fade, all shall fade...

[font=Century Gothic]Kusari Stars summoned Our Family, and the Rising Stars answered. We departed Home on a quest of knowledge and enlightenment.
Into New Tokyo We venture as Kempetei Serpents, concealing Our Minds from undesirable views.
Bending weak minds to Our Will, We spread wings freely.

Silently and patiently We have waited, and the prey approached.



We meet one who is worthy.



We lure him into Our trap, and illuminate his thoughts.




Time passed, and We proceeded back Home. By destroying Samuradepots under Kempetei masks We cause Chaos.
Plenty of gifts for the Family, Mother shall be pleased.

Amy Masako

She left home, and scouted Hokkaido in the Soburin, a target. A lone Samura transport, it died alone without escorts, Amy gathered it's scraps.

At the gate to New Tokyo, she found a lone bumblebee, this one was empty,

IKN-Soburin: This is Kusari Naval Recon Wing, Aoi 113
IKN-Soburin: I am ordering you to stop your ship
IKN-Soburin: Immediately
Bigu`: for?
IKN-Soburin: Routine scan
Bigu`: ok
IKN-Soburin: Looks clear to me
IKN-Soburin: You may proceed

The ship obeyed, and thus lived.

In New Tokyo she found her target, a Naval Soldier by the name of Seiji Akimoto. Strings had been pulled to ensure his patrol was with the Soburin, he was tested.

Seiji.Akimoto: Konnichiwa, captain
IKN-Soburin: Konnichiwa
Seiji.Akimoto: Ions... *Sighs*
Seiji.Akimoto: So... What are the patrol protocols today?
IKN-Soburin: You're with me, we're patrolling Honshu
Seiji.Akimoto: Honshu... Quite strange, the Nagumo always assigned me to both Kyushu and New Tokyo
IKN-Soburin: I pulled some strings
Seiji.Akimoto: Oh, I see...
IKN-Soburin: Forgive me, I didn't introduce myself
IKN-Soburin: Captain Michiba, I've had my eye on your for some time
Seiji.Akimoto: *Scratches his head* Oh, Hai...
Seiji.Akimoto: Michiba... I think we had a talk few weeks ago, am I right?
IKN-Soburin: That is correct
IKN-Soburin: Was speaking to your superiors about having you reassigned
IKN-Soburin: Standard patrols are beneath you
Seiji.Akimoto: Oh, really!?
IKN-Soburin: You potential is wasted, I intend to have you assigned to a more... 'hands on' job
Seiji.Akimoto: So...? *Frowns*
IKN-Soburin: So today I assess you one last time
IKN-Soburin: Come Seiji
Seiji.Akimoto: Right behind you
Seiji.Akimoto: Are we moving to... the Sigmas?
IKN-Soburin: Just to the gate
IKN-Soburin: Heard of some Artifact smugglers coming through here...
Seiji.Akimoto: Do we have their vessel's transponders?
IKN-Soburin: Nope, nothing. Old fashioned scanning
Seiji.Akimoto: *Chuckles* Received

We waited, until a Smuggler entered Honshu from Sigma-13, right on time. It wasn't the right smuggler, this one had Military Vehicles, but it proved a worthy test.

Seiji.Akimoto: Hold it!
Shadow.Iron: wild??
Shadow.Iron: and whatta??
IKN-Soburin: Hold still for a Scan...
IKN-Soburin: Hold it...
IKN-Soburin: It's not Artifacts Seiji
Seiji.Akimoto: *Hmpf!* Military UAVs... Where are you taking them?
IKN-Soburin: It's worse
IKN-Soburin: Where are they headed?
Shadow.Iron: i taking 'em to tau-31 its a kusari bs here
IKN-Soburin: I don't like this Seiji, that's an illegal ship
IKN-Soburin: He clearly holds no license to trade these through Kusari
IKN-Soburin: You are free to engage
Shadow.Iron: idiot

The Smuggler must have gotten caught in some darkmatter going in the jump back to Sigma-13, because he was destoryed almost immediately.

Seiji preformed admirably though, Amy will see that he is... aquired.

The following gifts were collected and returned home,

[Jansen]

One mind, one goal, one purpose...

Rin Masaki

We left the family, masked as a Naval Forces Officer.

We encountered two warships, they nearly destroyed our cover so we left them alone.

Returning home we brought gifts for the family.

Intruders. The most troublesome xenophobes.

We tried to feign distress. We instead chose brutality.











Our family is safe.

"THE HULL HAS BEEN BREACHED AND THE SCIENCE IS LEAKING OUT!"

[Akura]

One mind, one goal, one purpose...

Amy Masako

She left the grand Arch to visit Hokkaido, awaiting a recruit,

Aquene.Kinky: Konnichiwa.
IKN-Kakushi: Konnichiwa
IKN-Kakushi: I've been waiting for you
Aquene.Kinky: Hmm, strange.
IKN-Kakushi: You'll be patrolling with me today pilot
Aquene.Kinky: I was assigned by Battleship Matsumoto to do a scannning sweep but ...
Aquene.Kinky: Nobody told me I've got to ''meet someone'' ?
IKN-Kakushi: I pulled some strings, you'll be with me
IKN-Kakushi: I am Captain Michiba, I know exactly who you are though...
Aquene.Kinky: Strange.I never heard of that ... 'division'
Aquene.Kinky: If you say so ...
Aquene.Kinky: -switching on private frequency
Aquene.Kinky: Hai, that's not the way I was supposed to go to ... ? I guess this is gonna be interesthing
IKN-Kakushi: Just a quick review, follow orders and do as you normally would
Aquene.Kinky: I'm all yours

They moved to Kyushu, and found Arael, a brother,

Aquene.Kinky: Konnichiwa.
Arael.Kazuko: Konnichiwa.
IKN-Kakushi: Konnichiwa Arael
IKN-Kakushi: This is Lt Kazuko, one of my finest men
Aquene.Kinky: Hai, nice to meet you.
Arael.Kazuko: *Salutes smartly*
Aquene.Kinky: I hope you won't mind that I dont have any stronger armor but believe me im not being paid well ...
Aquene.Kinky: Do you know anything that Naval force's HC now taxes every trader that passes through Tau's with MV ? It's kinda odd...
Aquene.Kinky: traffic has been lovered lately ...
Arael.Kazuko: Taxes? Fascinating...

They moved through Kyushu together, finding a Police Pilot on the lanes,

IKN-Kakushi: Konnichiwa pilot
Aquene.Kinky: What brings you here Jinko-san ?
IKN-Kakushi: We're running scans of all ships passing through
Nikasha_Jinko: just saw something and dropped out of transit.
Nikasha_Jinko: Sayanoara
IKN-Kakushi: Safe patrol

Soon enough a civilian transport arrived, empty,

Aquene.Kinky: Hold it toaster.
Arael.Kazuko: Toaster, halt your vessel.
Aquene.Kinky: Strange ship callsign though.
Aquene.Kinky: Hai, halt for an scan sweep.
IKN-Kakushi: Clear to me
IKN-Kakushi: Move along citizen
Arael.Kazuko: Nothing suspicious. Move along.
Arael.Kazuko: He isn't Kusaran.
IKN-Kakushi: He's not carrying anything, none of our concern

They moved to New Tokyo, space was empty save a Daumann convoy, they destroyed it and took the crew, along with a large amount of Food Rations.

Patrols through New Tokyo and Honshu were quiet, so they dismissed Aquene and headed home.

IKN-Kakushi: Alright Aquene, we're done here
IKN-Kakushi: Make your way back to Hokkaido, I'll be in contact
Aquene.Kinky: I'm pleased to serve you'r honoured ranks, Kakushi and Kazuko-san.
Aquene.Kinky: I look forward to meet again
Arael.Kazuko: Hai. Sayonara.
IKN-Kakushi: Sayonara

We are glad to once again spread our wings and descend upon Kusari to deliver them from the collective plight of humanity.

Today we left our home and went deep into the Kusari space. The day was quiet and for hours there weren't any traders that could give us few 'gifts' except one, who was quiet rude and disobeyed our wishes.
