Daisuke Aramaki's Story

Daisuke Aramaki is present.

Daisuke Aramaki stepped into the room after the door hissed open and then he inclined his head. "Detective, Miss Angelique." He said inclining his head, as the shorter Taiyou man stepped into the room, he could be likened to a mad professor, but this individual was far different than a Mad professor, with balding hair, and bushy hair around his head, his voice was gravely, almost crotchety.

"Are you Mr. Usama Javed?" The man asked.

Daisuke Aramaki made a face. "SDF? I wasn't aware that Keiko had gone missing, it'd be nice if the ISSP would share it's files sometimes." Aramaki said, before he thumbed his beard. "I wonder if we find Keiko, we can find the others, or at least get a foothold into the organization, Major what do you think?"

Daisuke Aramaki chuckled. "You don't miss a beat do you?" He said, before turning to the Major. "You've got a go, just make sure not to make too much of a mess, I don't need this all over the news." He said with his gravely voice. "We might not find your girl, but maybe we can capture and interrogate and get some more leads." He explained.

Daisuke Aramaki inclined his head to Mulavi, before speaking up. "I am Director Aramaki, Public Security Section Nine." He said, before nodding to the women. "This is Major Kusanagi, and Prime Minister Kayabuki." He said, before he inclined his head in a small bow.

Daisuke Aramaki nodded before sitting at the table. "Ladies and Gentlemen please have a seat." He said, before pouring everyone a glass of water. "Would anyone like any water before we begin?" He asked, before he nodded to Motoko. "Major, if you would." He said before the lights began to dim.

Daisuke Aramaki pushed the doors open after Drulovic, holding them open for her for a moment, and offering a polite bow. "Dururoru-bi-ku-san" He said, struggling to pronounce her surname. The man had somewhat of an ape-like face, or by looking at him one could liken him to that. The man was also somewhat short in stature, perhaps even a bit shorter than Drulovic. He was an older Japanese-looking male, and as he walked, he sat between Haruo and Drulovic.

"I haven't seen you around these parts lately." The man admitted, bringing his dark eyes to rest on Drulovic.

"I've heard the rumors, that someone in the government is out to get you, how are your daughters?"

Daisuke Aramaki looked about the bar for a moment. "She's here." Aramaki said, noting that Kusanagi was hidden among the Patrons of the Bar. "She chose to go undetected, and provide me with a greater degree of security." Aramaki admitted. Then his attention went to the Bartender.

"I'll have a warm sake." He said, before he swiveled on the Barstool towards his counterpart. "I'm here because I'm tending to Official Imperial business regarding a situation that has unfolded with Hataf, I am certain you are well aware of what has Transpired, and though our hands are tied, we are willing to do what it takes to bring Hataf's threat to an end, with cooperation of course." Aramaki then nodded to Haruo.

"ISSP, Section Nine, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are all investigating." Aramaki concluded.

Daisuke Aramaki looked towards the Kalashnikov, and Drulovic before commenting. "I wouldn't know, I've never used the weapon." Aramaki admitted. "I prefer my M-5." Aramaki added, sliding his hands atop the bar and grasping his Sake.

"I haven't heard much from the Government either, I wasn't aware you were removed from office, I am afraid that our Intelligence has been slow since the attack on the Empire, the Shogunate hasn't picked up any of the slack, since most of it is in chaos." Aramaki added, sipping his drink once more.

"The Empire is panicking, I've never seen such disorder."

Daisuke Aramaki quickly stood up when Motoko leaped into action, staring at her and the figure that lay dead. "What the hell just happened?" Aramaki said aloud. Backing up a step or two.

Daisuke Aramaki nodded. "I'm fine, Thank you." He said, shaking his head.

"If there's one Aschen, there's bound to be more, Major, are there any Reverences in the immediate area?"

Daisuke Aramaki pursed his lips and then he turned to Motoko. "I have sent a Cybercomm to Commandant Katamura, I know she was in orbit refueling and resupplying her ship and the convoy to head out to Shogunate Space." He said, picking up a table and flipping it over.

"Everyone get away from the windows!" Aramaki shouted, nodding to Motoko and Arakawa.

"We need to hold out until the Commandant gets here." He said, grasping his pistol.

Daisuke Aramaki approached from the Palace itself, slowly he made his way to Randin and Kazen, offering a bow. "My name is Director Aramaki, Mr. Kaye, if you'll come with me, We'll debrief and I'll make sure to arrange a meal and somewhere you can get cleaned up, first we need to discuss what happened in Chugatsu-Shi." He said, motioning for Randin to follow him.

Daisuke Aramaki is here.

It was well into the night in the Wing City PD HQ, the lights of the city, which had been out during the ensuing fight to liberate from the Occupation, had once again been illuminating.

There was a knock on Kaye's door, before a young officer stepped into the office. "You have a visitor." He said, before he ducked out and he stepped aside to reveal an older man, who slowly stepped in with a tall, familiar violet haired woman at his side.. Slowly the man sat down and inclined his head.

"I'm Director Aramaki, of Public Security Section Nine." He said, nodding slighty. "Emperor Takayama sent me to do the formalities in commissioning you into Section nine." Aramaki said, getting comfortable as the Major stood aside.

"Before we begin, do you have any questions?"

Daisuke Aramaki cleared his throat before he spoke up. "What you get out of this, will depend on what you put into it." He said, manipulating and steepling his fingers into his lap. "You will obey the Emperor's commands without question, so long as they do not conflict with your current profession. You will be asked to give your life for the continued survival of his son." Aramaki explained, nodding to the Major. "You'll be operating under Major Kusanagi, her words are law, We won't ask you to assassinate the leader of Terra, but you will be asked to take out your fellow Terrans, targets that are deemed by the Union, that includes your government, as hostile." Aramaki explained.

"You will be on call, if I ask for you, I expect you to report, it is no different than the job you have now. And by the grace of the Emperor, your first assignment is to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of Parson Lessard."

Daisuke Aramaki nodded. "Very good, just need you to repeat after me." He said, clearing his throat, before he placed a small photograph of the Emperor on the desk. "Bow your head before Tenno Heika and repeat after me." He said.

"I, your name, swear on the honor of my family to uphold the absolute heavenly sovereignty of Taiyou Law, to uphold and protect our heavenly sovereign, Tenno Heika Takayama with my life, and to live and abide myself by the code of Bushido, and am prepared to give my life in the name of our glorious Emperor, and our Heavenly Empire."

Daisuke Aramaki extended his hand and he nodded. "Welcome to Public Security Section Nine." He said, before he nodded to Major Kusanagi, whom handed Randin an ivory handled Seburo 'Dragon Fang' which was similar in design to the Mateba Autotevolver.

"It was brought to my attention that you have an affinity for revolvers, this is a 12mm Dragon Fang revolver, custom made and caliberated to the exact specifications of your current revolvers."

He nodded, sliding the revolver forward. "Your credentials as well." He said, handing a badge, and an ID Card. "Welcome to Public Security, Section Nine."

Daisuke Aramaki nodded. "Don't let me keep you." He said, nodding to the Major before starting out.

The chatter on the NCPD's radio had come to life, several calls came in to the spectacle going on at the Government owned Bank of Niihama (新居浜市の銀行). Already several Police precincts had been notified of the sudden crime that was taking place.

"Shinkō-chū no gōtō, Niihama, bumon 3 no ginkō."

Sirens pierced the air as several police vehicles made their way through the dense traffic of Niihama City. Their sirens echoing off the buildings and the towering pillars that served to support the Decking above.

"Subete no yunitto ga jogen sa reru, gaikoku hito wa sekutā 3 de ginkō gōtō sa rete ori, bussei kenkyūjo oyobi sekushon'nain wa shirasa rete ita."

A Single Botanachi DRHC Tilt rotor aircraft sailed through the air and around the buildings as it moved towards the bank.

We hereby declare War on the Terran National Government. The men and officers of Our Army and Navy shall do their utmost in prosecuting the war. Our public servants of various departments shall perform faithfully and diligently their respective duties; the entire nation with a united will shall mobilize their total strength so that nothing will miscarry in the attainment of Our war aims.

To ensure the stability of the Milky Way and to contribute to Galactic peace is the far-sighted policy which was formulated by Our Great Illustrious Imperial Grandsire and Our Great Imperial Sire succeeding Him, and which We lay constantly to heart. To cultivate friendship among nations and to enjoy prosperity in common with all nations, has always been the guiding principle of Our Empire's foreign policy. It has been truly unavoidable and far from Our wishes that Our Empire has been brought to cross swords with Terra. With their actions taken to hamper the execution of our Military operations, and justice for all Imperial Citizens. They have obstructed by every means Our peaceful commerce menacing gravely the existence of Our Empire. Patiently have We waited and long have We endured, in the hope that Our government might retrieve the situation in peace. But Our adversaries, showing not the least spirit of conciliation, have unduly delayed a settlement; and in the meantime they have intensified the economic and political pressure to compel thereby Our Empire to submission. This trend of affairs, would, if left unchecked, not only nullify Our Empire's efforts of many years for the sake of the stabilization of the Milky Way, but also endanger the very existence of Our nation. The situation being such as it is, Our Empire, for its existence and self-defense has no other recourse but to appeal to arms and to crush every obstacle in its path.

The hallowed spirits of Our Imperial Ancestors guarding Us from above, We rely upon the loyalty and courage of Our subjects in Our confident expectation that the task bequeathed by Our forefathers will be carried forward and that the sources of evil will be speedily eradicated and an enduring peace immutably established in the Milky Way, preserving thereby the glory of Our Empire.

In witness whereof, we have hereunto set our hand and caused the Grand Seal of the Empire to be affixed at the Imperial Palace, Niihama City, this seventh day of the 3rd month of the 15th year of Shōwa, corresponding to the 12,602nd year from the accession to the throne of Emperor Shogo.

It seemed everything was silent while Luke talked with Melanie storm. Only after her departure did the endless sea of Taiyou ships stir, the men would likely find their FTL Systems jammed, inoperative, and a series of computer viruses messing with their navigation and engine systems.

With the constant bombardment of computer programs, and a strange energy net cast over their ships, they would likely find themselves with all Taiyou eyes on them, with a singular Shokaku class carrier, flanked by a pair of Shogun Battleships, and a single Yamato class Battleship, and two Kongo class Battleships moved to greet them, a middle aged Taiyou officer flickering on their screen.


"Attention SEC Group Beta, this is the ITN Murakami, prepare to be boarded, any resistance will be met with overwhelming force." He said firmly, before disconnecting the message, while massive 250cm Anti-Ship cannons swiveled on their turrets, bearing aim at the smaller SEC Ships, while the Shokaku class carrier moved in, flanked now by a squadron of A6M Star-fighters.

Big ears had listened in on their conversation.

422-201 glides into the ITN Murakami's garbage disposal system. Maneuvering his way against the tightly sealed doors, which he remotely unlocks and slides open enough so he can enter before the emergency systems engage. Once inside, 422-201 emerges from a disposal shaft near the bottom of the ship, but remains cloaked. Wishing to maintain his hidden presence, 422-201 doesn't attempt to take over the starship's main computer yet. He pauses every twenty feet to place a cloaked explosive along the corridor. He continues at a hastened pace, perfectly silent, moving past crew members unnoticed. His first main stop, the ship's armory.

The ships made no move to block the attacks, complying completely. The guards lowered weapons as the carrier mover moved in. "INT Murakami, we will comply and meet you at airlocks. Be advised we have a VIP On board, Luke Sullen sends his regards to his Imperial Majesty."

Luke Sullen got up from his chair and put on his expensive suit coat and then briefly stopped by the mirror to comb his hair. Then he was off headed for the primary airlock. He was flanked by security all armed but relaxed. They did not plan to engage the Taiyou. They knew they would be searched extensively before they would even be considered for a diplomatic meeting. That rogue ship had really thrown a wrench in their plans making the SEC look aggressive and it was going to take a lot of work to prove their original intentions to the Taiyou.
