			If I had a nickel every time I've had to cover the retreat of other runners in a foreign forest, I'd have 2 nickels. I know that it isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice in such a short period of time.

			Anyway, this Deimos seems unsuited for conflict that isn't stacked in her favor, Shine seems to work well with others, and Black Samurai's professional as usual.

			It was unfortunate that a loud distraction happened, and that made the J felt like we weren't worth our promised pay. ''Would have taken him to task, but Black Sam did so, so it's all fine in the end.''

	[[Asahiro Kunitoshi]] has identified [[Pump King Jack]] as a major existential and meta-physical threat to the entirety of the 6th World. As a traditionalist samurai and adherent of Bushido, he considers it his solemn duty to destroy Jack, and believes that obtaining Sohayamaru, a powerful weapon foci, is one means to such an end. Naturally, he does not share these motivations with the Runners.

Naturally, he does not share these motivations with the Runners.

	In order to further his goals, he sends four Seattle Runners to ~~Chiba~~, Japan, where he believes that a shard of the sword Sohayamaru lies beyond a ~~Torri~~ gate in the famous Honnō-ji Temple. A gate beyond which lies a mirror of the true temple, wreathed in eternal flames believed to symbolically represent the original ~~Temple~~ at the time of ~~it's~~ destruction at the hands of Shogun ~~Odu~~ Nobunaga, during his war against the Sohei warrior monks of Japan. The mirror temple is said to be the resting place of a Sohayamaru shard, believed to be either one of the Five Legendary Swords or perhaps the blade wielded by Oda Nobunaga himself.

	Across the gate, the blade called to me. When I unsheathed it, it felt...right. In hindsight, it was a corruption--a twisted evil thing...but in the moment. I haven't previously experienced the thrill and rush of bonded blade. After returning, an ally here stateside assisted in converting Hayoto's blade into a focus on my behalf. The rush is similar, but much milder and much less...evil. It's more of a calming, reaffirming feel.		Across the gate, the blade called to me. When I unsheathed it, it felt...right.
