I'm sorry if this blindsides anyone, but I've decided to step down from GMing. I have not been enjoying myself in that role for quite some time (through no fault of anyone here, mind you), and need to become a player again. To be honest, I was very close to dropping SARP in its entirety before Andrew came back.
I am willing to finish this mission set in YE 41 (if players don't pick up posting, I will likely just quickly end it with Soresu's aid), but Yai will be joining Katsuko on the YSS Tokyo for YE 42. Players can try to go there, to the 17th, or to the Aeon which also needs players. It seems a good time to do this, as players have various options on where to go. The Sakura II and her squadron will likely serve as the Tokyo's escorts to be used as-needed.
I'm sorry for failing to live up to expectations, you've all been great.
