Any SAINT character should feel free to check in here. That can be anything as small as a post saying "so and so here" and be as much as a full mission report if you'd like to do that. GMs can omnibus report their characters here if they'd like (I think this only applies to @raz and @Kim).

In the end, nobody is required to reply, though. This all-call exists so I can more easily identify active characters for inclusion on future updates of the SAINT page (making sure they're all alphabetical while considering Yamataigo and Trade names at the same time while organizing them in neat columns is already a bit of work and sifting through hundreds of character pages is a lot). I am actually of the opinion that PANTHEON handles this stuff automatically.

It's an opportunity for roleplay, too. This is a chance to send a message directly to the leader of SAINT. I know some of you have asked to be James Bond, and this is as close as I can get without making SAINT's command structure entirely meaningless fluff.

This post was made in the vein of Motoyoshi Misato's similar request a few years ago. Check it out for inspiration. @Wes has given approval as far as I have been told, and the plan was posted in the FM/GM forum sufficiently in advance.

I have been posted aboard the YSS Aeon since my orders were received on 5日 5月 YE 39. The YSS Aeon’s current mission intent is to study the tactics and weaponry of the Kuvexian forces we encounter approximately 40 LY West of the Kikyo Sector’s Western edge.

Wormholes created by the Yome Ismâopate of the Poku Saeruo Degonjo are allowing the YSS Genshō and YSS Aeon to survey systems in between the Western Wastes and the Kikyō Sector. The use of CDD and Fold technology is too much of an indicator of our presence in enemy territory, namely deep Westerly space in Kuvexian territory, thus the usage of wormholes prevents early detection.

We will be operating in stealth in areas where we detect a Kuvexian presence and normally after sweeps show no enemy presence in the area. That is to say, we will be studying the systems regardless of an enemy presence.

I have made a Qaktoro contact, Potos Kehula, who is ranked as a Kasâvyjo and is a Bajao’ka Tinsae for the Yome Ismâopate. He allowed me to download the standard system specifications for their ships into my own device and I am forwarding that information in this letter.

Still operating at peak performance after the YSS Kokatsu assignment.

Currently en-route to Skadi to participate in the invasion with the IX Legion with the objective of re-securing securing the colony after it was abandoned in YE 32. Will send any information I come across in the field from the YSS Shinigami to the analysts as the mission progresses.

From: Candon Suites Ittô Heisho
To: Office of the Director, Star Army Intelligence

Greetings from 188-604 Director,

You might remember my conviction regarding the laughable notion of the Mishhuvurthyar faction, NMX, one day invading from this direction. I have found just that. At this time Oshiro Masumi Nitô Hei and myself have become indispensable to the security of the 604 system. I have used the Frontier Service Corporation to construct a large fleet of drones at their own expense and plan to use this corporation to expand my influence throughout the sector, however this campaign is going to incur severe financial hardships that will assuredly cripple the corporation.

I wish to request 100,000,000 KS for the war effort and to secure the company's future post war. I understand this is a large number, though I believe it would cost more for the SAoY to fight on two fronts which will surely happen should the NMX succeed. Even as I write this the NMX are doing what they do so well to local colonies that are incapable of mounting a defense which will cause their population to soar in only months.

Further, I am requesting emergency ration pills and the medical supplies needed to create Autonomous Medical Treatment Centers as the casualties are expected to be high and the colonists will assuredly need immediate medical attention and relief.

I realize that is a lot to ask, but if we do not strike now while we have the chance their numbers will increase exponentially within a few months. This might be our only shot at neutralizing the threat before the SAoY is forced to get involved and if successful the expanded influence of FSCorp will enable increased attacks on Kuvexian fleets sneaking through the area.

Penihatolapsoa-hei,

I'd like to extend the Empire's deepest gratitude for your service. The work performed by you and operatives like you, assigned to the fleet to fight alongside our Uchuugun comrades, is essential to the success of both the Star Army's mission and the Empire's survival. Thank you for carrying out your duties to defeat the Kuvexian menace to the most exemplary standard.

Beyond that, however, the Hidden Sun schematics you obtained during the course of your assignment to the YSS Aeon are beyond invaluable and will most certainly allow us to better assist our Poku friends in joint operations. An accolade has been marked on your service record.

The analysts at Operational Intelligence absolutely look forward to more of the same. As the Hidden Sun Clan are Yamataian allies, I advise against explicitly pursuing further information regarding their technology, but anything more your contact volunteers in the course of your relationship is most useful.

Regards,
Nakaide Shida
Director, Star Army Intelligence
