Hmm, it's been a long few days since I last entered a log.
I would have entered one earlier but I haven't been able to summon up either the courage or the time to sit down and write it out.
Well I suppose I should continue from where I left off.
Reimei, Hikari, Morwen, Amaterasu, Marius, Jianna and I met in the gate on the 4th.
We spoke simply and for a short time before we left.
This is what I had prepared the crew for, called in the extra Marines and found the Admiral banging down my door, demanding to lead them.
We set off to capture the head of the slavers who where hunting Reimei and Amaterasu.
We where expecting a small fleet, maybe 20 ships in total.
Easily within the bounds of what we could deal with.
It didn't go to plan.
Infact, the plan went to hell, was rejected for not being ****ed up enough.
And then threw it back out and decided to pit us against a REVELATION Class Dreadnought and something in the region of 80 ships.
Quite a number of them Capsuleer ships.
I still am amazed we came out of it alive.
Hmmm... Reimei called us to stick to the plan.
The plan that sent a handfull of men against the Entire Bridge crew of a Revelation.
A plan that required the internal detonation of the ships warp core and major systems.
A plan that killed the Admiral.
He died on that ship, he died so that we could live, us... Capsuleers.
He stayed on that ship to personally ensure that the override worked, and that the ship did blow up.
He ****ing died for us.
I can't quite come to grips with it still....
He is gone.
Like my father, and now my surrogate father as well.
The rest of that fight is a blur, I remember moments when I forced the ship further than I though possible, hit targets at ranges and speed I never could have even thought of.
And saw so many men die that it would make any man weep for shame at causing such destruction.
Even though one moment of sheer terror when the dreadnought died, if blew the siege core and destroyed more than three full quarters of the damned fleet.
And another.
Another when Amaterasu and Morwen flew into the bowels of the last battleship.
And my ship rocking as an overcharged blast from the guns burned a hole big enough to fit them in.
Then I don't remember anything, the next thing I remember is praying next to Jianna somewhere in a station.
Then blackness.

Well, things just got more complicated again today.
Reimei is alive and it isn't a clone-jack either.
He appeared in the Gate looking for Amaterasu, Verone intercepted him and made sure he was who he said he was.
That was yesterday,
Today... I received a communique from him, saying he needed my help.
Well, he needed more than my help, he needed my arm.
As it is he needs my arm.
In any case, the rest of the day seems almost unimportant now, although I did have the pleasure of running into Jianna again.
Reimei seemed none to pleased, but as much as I respect the man.
I can't find it in me to care.
But back to the operation he needs me for.
Aparently the slaver Verone shot was only the tip of the iceberg and there is alot more that need to be shot.
I have scrambled Ghost Squad to provide assistence and the Admiral has offered to assist with 5 of his best men with part of the plan
The PMS Inquisition. My Paladin Class-Maraurder is standing ready to provide fire-support.
May god have mercy on their souls.
For I know I will not.
Now I just hope the more complex part of this plan works.

I returned to the Last Gate today.
I fitted a few special systems to my Paladin and made the trip down there with the crew.
I hope they enjoyed themselves as much as I did.
Well, I mean it wasn't planned as a pleasure trip, but by the end of the day it pretty much had turned out that way.
When I got to the bar, there was already a decent sized crowd there. Chief among which where Morwen Lagann and an unfamiliar Khanid lady, who was well.
Rather stunning.
Ha, it is almost probable you can see where this is going now.
Although it isn't quite what I thought, it turns out that this unknown lady was a "friend" of Reimei's.
Morwen was talking to her about Reimei and Amaterasu.
She was drinking quite hard, drink after drink just seemed to disappear.
Intrigued I joined them.
After a while of her explaining roughly how she new Reimei, and discussing what sort of person he was.
Well, she knew him a lot better than I thought I did, apparently she has known him for many years, far longer than my meagre 5 days.
She told us of how he always played his cards close to his chest.
Of how he worked alone, always did things his own way.
And how he never kept a backup.
Ah well, I guess I will never know the man properly now.
After what seemed like only a short time Morwen had to leave, asking me if I would let her know if Amaterasu turned up.
I said I would, I mean, what else could I do?
Take the poor girl into slavery, after having released thousands of men and women not two days ago.
Unlikely.
In any case, Aldrith showed up after a few minutes of idle conversation and I finally caught her name
Jianna.
Strange, I swear I have heard the name before.
But I can't place it, it just doesn't quite want to click.
Ah well, it doesn't matter, Aldrith rushed off after his short appearance, probably something to do with his work came up.
I might have to ask him about that.
Jianna and I returned to talking again, I shifted the conversation from Reimei to herself, which seemed to stem the flood of drinks she consumed.
It turns out she is the daughter of trader pilots, born on a Bestower Class Industrial vessel between two stargates in an unknown system.
Strange how two Khanid pilots can have almost exactly opposite upbringings and still be similar in personality, and work even.
She said she was an investigator, which I found highly amusing as my work corresponds with that.
In its own strange way...
Well, we kept talking for a good while, just idly bantering about various things to do with ourselves and such.
Eventually it was mentioned that she liked some of the finer things in life, which gave me an idea.
Quickly making a judgement of character in my head I ordered some of the finest Khanid red that Karlos could find to be brought over.
Thankfully the ever amazing bartender had a perfect bottle.
From Kihtaled II no less.
Make me wonder if this wasn't preordained or something, I can just imagine God having it in for me like that.
In any case, Jianna seemed to appreciate the wine quite a lot, drinking nearly three times what I did.
Being quite concerned for her well being, I offered to take her home in my Paladin.
Thankfully she accepted.
Now, if I can just get her to wake up from where she is a sleep in my captain's suite I can find out where to take her.
Although first order of business is to clear this Guristas stronghold.
Damn I hope Hitome has been doing her work around here.

I.. I don't quite believe it yet.
Reimei is dead.
It has been barely been 5 day since I met this man.
I went to the Last Gate last night in the hope of relaxing, and was greeted by somber faces and a weeping Morwen Lagann.
It... it seems all efforts where for naught, Reiei
And he is dead.
Such a waste... he was a good man, now it seems he is nothing more than Biomass, ready for a new capsuleer to be born from his molecules.
Aparently he didn't have a backup scan, and the one Ciarente's medtech got probably won't work.
I... It's been so long since I saw a capsuleer die.
It reminds me that we are infact mortal, despite all the work we put into making ourselves immortal.
I think I will go pray.
I will pray for his soul to be recieved by god.
I just hope God is listening
