After the Christmas break Reikoku finds its wallets, ships, and ammo hangers full, but very few targets willing to actually fight us. G where up to their usual tricks, trying to bore us into submission. In the previous weeks there had been few sizable encounters with any hostile forces, hunting parties roamed around the northern regions, a few gangs where given and a few received. The following month would bring much of the same. The north was starting to look very boring.

During this time Reikoku had been working to fortify its industrial base and to increase the number of skilled pilots in the corp. We were well on our way to becoming something a lot better. However, as with all things in life nothing goes exactly to plan. A mysterious illness among Reikoku pilots was discovered, the directors of Reikoku along with the help of many research agents have tried to find the source of this illness but its cause and alas a cure still evades us.

When a pilot is infected if they are unable to take part in active combat for more than a few days they seem to drop into a trance. Pilots disappear for day’s maybe even weeks at a time, coming back with stories of slaying Orcs or Flowers in some surreal fantasy world.

Thankfully pilots started to break out of this trance, most reporting they had heard the voices of there fellow pilots screaming at them about how killing flowers was a fools game. Other reported the constant grind to achieve something called, levelling, had driven them mad and eventually helped them to gain perspective, and where able to break them selves out of the trance.

Be assured the directorate of Reikoku will work continuously to try and help all pilots recover from this illness. We stand ready with the baseball bats.

Meanwhile the active members of Reikoku had grown rich from the open bank safe that BKG is. We were ready to flex are newly beefed up muscles at a worthy opponent. We looked about the north and saw no one willing. G where unwilling to fight us, FOE to the east where just forming, the infighting had just about stopped again but there would most probably be just a few fights left in them, Fade was a waste land and the locals in Deklein where in no shape to put up a worthy fight. We had been too ruthless in our campaign, there was no one left.

To the south then, CA was a mess, XF and SE where our friends which left FA and FIX. We had nothing against FIX but FA was a different matter. We saw Delve as a perfect point of operations against FA. It was time to move.

We folded up our blue prints, packed away our modules and loaded our industrials. At this time, thankfully, our research agents found a way to wake most of our pilots, over the last weekend in January we moved our assets to our new southern operations location in preparation for our move to Delve.

Coming Soon - The first months in Delve
