Konbanwa (こんばんは) honored leaders of the Order Overwatch.
My name is Muramoto Tenshin, I am a Kachi of the newly formed Yūmō Ronin Blood Dragon division in Kusari. We have commenced operations all over Kusari in the past weeks fighting our arch-enemies. It has been quite a while since the last time the Order and the Blood Dragons cooperated in a mutual cause. We have not forgotten our allies and I hope you have not forgotten us. Kusari is in a state of change that has been going on for the last centuries, changes that we do not always agree with. The modern society of Kusari is in demand of something new.
Our sensei, Ryucho Okazaki Yamato has made a discovery that might be interesting for the study of alien artifacts. We have discovered that Samura, one of the largest corporations of the Kreiretsu is trading with Artifacts, openly in Kusari.
IMPERIAL STELLAR CODEX OF KUSARI Wrote:SECTION III. Trade & Contraband
III-1. The following goods categories are considered contraband within the sovereign space of the Empire of Kusari:
Restricted Cargo (Authorized Carriers):
Artifacts (Xeno Relics & other types - Kusari Corporate Vessels)
It appears that the people of Kusari have forgotten what horrors a simple active artifact brought upon us a bit over thirty years ago. It is frightening how fast people forget what happened to all colonies and what it took to avert the catastrophe, how many people have left their lives on all sides. I am not only reaching out to you on this single matter, the Yūmō Ronin are looking to again establish and rebuild long-term cooperation between our organizations. I have uploaded all data that we have gathered below in the Data Package. The Artifacts themselves are currently in Sendai under high-security guard and are awaiting immediate shipment to one of your installations at any time. I hope this message will reach the right people and that we can act together as allies in this matter.
I am looking forward to your message and appreciate you for taking the time to read the simple lines I wrote to you.

[29.07.2023 19:29:30] DTR-Condado.Urgell: S: Your mother is futile
[29.07.2023 19:29:52] Akayama: Still subservient to your corrupt ways
[29.07.2023 19:29:55] YR|Wakizashi: You've got that one, Akayama. I'll find the rest.
[29.07.2023 19:29:59] Akayama: Yet we will purge your sins
[29.07.2023 19:30:09] YR|Wakizashi: Destroy those artifacts as well, they're bound to be erase from the face of cosmos.

[29.07.2023 19:30:36] YR|Wakizashi: They're headed to Gallia, and I doubt I'll make it until they jump.
[29.07.2023 19:31:51] YR|Wakizashi: Akayama-sama. I'm afraid that the other two have evaded our wrath, to their fortune.
[29.07.2023 19:32:00] Akayama: It is unfortunate, indeed

[29.07.2023 19:32:15] Akayama: But they won't get as far next time, for we shall prevail over their corrupt business
[29.07.2023 19:32:20] Akayama: And their dealings with the Hogosha
[29.07.2023 19:32:23] YR|Wakizashi: The Artifact smuggling chain has gotten much bolder over the past two weeks.
[29.07.2023 19:32:41] YR|Wakizashi: Our sworn foes, alongside their collaborates have ignited this flame.
[29.07.2023 19:32:52] YR|Wakizashi: Collaborators*
[29.07.2023 19:33:03] Akayama: And they shall be met with destruction as they have proved themselves to be lowly
[29.07.2023 19:33:22] YR|Wakizashi: I've seen Samura transport the exact kind of artfiacts in Honshu. The individual had been stubborn beforehand, and -
[29.07.2023 19:33:32] YR|Wakizashi: - I had to obliterate their logistics, alongside the artifacts.
[29.07.2023 19:33:41] YR|Wakizashi: This is not a coincidence.
[29.07.2023 19:33:48] YR|Wakizashi: Kyushu. Entering.
[29.07.2023 19:34:07] Akayama: It's exactly this reason why we wish to see Samura burn
[29.07.2023 19:34:10] 2023-07-29 19:34:10 SMT
[29.07.2023 19:34:10] YR|Wakizashi: There appears to be more.
[29.07.2023 19:34:22] DTR-Yondaime: Interesting...
[29.07.2023 19:34:28] Akayama: It's yours, Wakizashi, if you want to
[29.07.2023 19:34:29] YR|Wakizashi: I suppose this one should have guarded that smuggling convoy.
[29.07.2023 19:34:33] Akayama: This one deserves nothing but death
[29.07.2023 19:34:51] DTR-Yondaime: A great salut from both of ya
[29.07.2023 19:34:53] YR|Wakizashi: I do not doubt. Though, I'd like to know whether they have anything to say.
[29.07.2023 19:34:54] DTR-Yondaime: As always
[29.07.2023 19:35:22] YR|Wakizashi: Elaborate on your Artifact smuggling chain, before you face my wrath, as your "amigos" had.

[29.07.2023 19:35:33] DTR-Yondaime: And who are you?
[29.07.2023 19:35:41] YR|Wakizashi: Protector of the Kusari.
[29.07.2023 19:35:42] DTR-Yondaime: You're not legal rappresentative of kusari
[29.07.2023 19:35:48] Akayama: That's one last question before you face the same fate as others who peddle on the corruption and your partners
[29.07.2023 19:35:51] Akayama: Such as the Hogosha and Samura
[29.07.2023 19:35:58] YR|Wakizashi: Since when do violent pirates like yourself care for any laws?
[29.07.2023 19:36:05] DTR-Yondaime: Akayama, stay away. You're too fat.
[29.07.2023 19:36:08] YR|Wakizashi: Keep your engines shut.
[29.07.2023 19:36:14] DTR-Yondaime: We, Violent?
[29.07.2023 19:36:22] DTR-Yondaime: In your dreams perhaps
[29.07.2023 19:36:27] YR|Wakizashi: Those words will cost you, much more than you may believe.
[29.07.2023 19:36:31] Akayama: Yondaime, you have the honor to face the Wakizashi
[29.07.2023 19:36:34] Akayama: I am not interfering

[02.07.2023 18:30:04] Nina.Rodriguez[TBH]: Let's say The Elders wanted me to stay here for some reason and I ensure you, it's not to kill your kind.
[02.07.2023 18:30:08] YR|Kodachi: I've conducted certain undertakings, and I opted to retreat for a temporary, few minutes-long conversation.
[02.07.2023 18:30:58] YR|Kodachi: Your Elders seem to be failing to remember certain elements for which they're the ones faulty of the disgraceful reputation.
[02.07.2023 18:31:26] YR|Kodachi: Sending scouts thus far, having you risk your own life for what...
[02.07.2023 18:31:49] Nina.Rodriguez[TBH]: You see, I try to break those mentality.
[02.07.2023 18:32:28] YR|Kodachi: How would you intend to shatter a cliche that's the product of your misconduct.
[02.07.2023 18:33:22] Nina.Rodriguez[TBH]: I'm working hard to understand the kusarians first and then, I will act accordingly.
[02.07.2023 18:33:36] YR|Kodachi: The Dragons uphold their virtues, ones that have been forgotten, and surppessed by inadequacy of the Empire.
[02.07.2023 18:33:37] Nina.Rodriguez[TBH]: Yet, since my arrival I did nothing but enjoy the culture.
[02.07.2023 18:34:20] YR|Kodachi: A vague excuse. Your brethren meddle into our very affairs.
[02.07.2023 18:34:37] Nina.Rodriguez[TBH]: Such as?
[02.07.2023 18:36:15] Nina.Rodriguez[TBH]: Eh... Forgive me. But I think you'll prefer me than an Outcast around.
[02.07.2023 18:36:18] YR|Kodachi: Yet, I'm disorientated of whom you genuinely represent. A typical Corsair exhibits peculiar amounts of hostility..
[02.07.2023 18:36:56] YR|Kodachi: Pirates who partake in illicit dealings, and induce terrorisms upon the innocent populance. A methodology incomparable to mine.
[02.07.2023 18:37:21] YR|Kodachi: My preference is an unknown thing to you, I believe.
[02.07.2023 18:37:33] Nina.Rodriguez[TBH]: It sure is.
[02.07.2023 18:38:00] YR|Kodachi: How would you justify what I've just said? What peace do you truly wish to establish here, far-away, in Kusari?
[02.07.2023 18:38:23] YR|Kodachi: Gives off nothing but sensation of deception. Cutting it short.
[02.07.2023 18:39:02] YR|Kodachi: You and I both know of your precious smuggling chain, one that benefits many unwanted parties within Kusari.
[02.07.2023 18:39:05] YR|Kodachi: The Dragons are weary.
[02.07.2023 18:39:44] YR|Kodachi: Otherwise, you'd be naive to believe that we're ignorant. Centuries have melded us into something that can adapt.
[02.07.2023 18:41:08] Nina.Rodriguez[TBH]: Well, you see, you are partially right.
[02.07.2023 18:41:35] Nina.Rodriguez[TBH]: But to believe every corsairs act with hostility, you are wrong.
[02.07.2023 18:42:03] YR|Kodachi: You'd be renegades otherwise. You were born into a violent society, whose reliance is based upon such acts.
[02.07.2023 18:42:22] YR|Kodachi: How would you differ under such environment. Would you truly adopt a vastly different agenda that does not suite you?
[02.07.2023 18:43:08] Nina.Rodriguez[TBH]: I adapt.
[02.07.2023 18:43:45] YR|Kodachi: Adapt. Why would you choose to portray yourself as 'unique?'
[02.07.2023 18:44:27] YR|Kodachi: After all, the 'authorities' tolerate your presence. Seems as though you pursue opportunistic actions that benefit you.
[02.07.2023 18:45:22] Nina.Rodriguez[TBH]: I won't lie but I sure jump on opportunity. And to answer why being unique, it's simple. Senor Ladron was unique as well.
[02.07.2023 18:55:15] YR|Kodachi: Benefits your artifact trade I'd assume.
[02.07.2023 18:55:23] YR|Kodachi: Smuggle, excuse me.
[02.07.2023 18:55:28] Nina.Rodriguez[TBH]: Who knows.
[02.07.2023 18:55:37] YR|Kodachi: You're the one who does.
[02.07.2023 18:55:53] YR|Kodachi: You should elaborate on that.
[02.07.2023 18:56:28] Nina.Rodriguez[TBH]: First of all, I did not smuggle as you say.
[02.07.2023 18:56:50] YR|Kodachi: I do not take your word for that, as it'd be foolish of you to admit. Though, your kind does. Very. Extensively.
[02.07.2023 18:56:50] Nina.Rodriguez[TBH]: It's like you take me as a representative of the Corsairs in general.
[02.07.2023 18:57:19] YR|Kodachi: Aren't you an emissary here? They've sent you to fulfill certain undertakings.
[02.07.2023 18:57:43] Nina.Rodriguez[TBH]: Si but I don't represent those who smuggle.
[02.07.2023 18:58:08] Nina.Rodriguez[TBH]: Nor the other groups that exist.
[02.07.2023 18:58:25] YR|Kodachi: Right. My questions more leaned towards the beneficts of "cooperation" with the Kusari.
[02.07.2023 18:59:04] YR|Kodachi: How come does it appropriately fulfill your agenda? What benefits has it brought to the table?
[02.07.2023 18:59:34] Nina.Rodriguez[TBH]: One of the benefits is simply that my people stop starving.
[02.07.2023 18:59:50] YR|Kodachi: Keep going.
[02.07.2023 19:00:23] Nina.Rodriguez[TBH]: Sadly, no.
[02.07.2023 19:00:43] YR|Kodachi: It'd be wise to resume.
[02.07.2023 19:00:50] YR|Kodachi: Supplies. Who's granted them to you?
[02.07.2023 19:01:02] YR|Kodachi: Sounds like Samura. Obviously.
[02.07.2023 19:01:19] YR|Kodachi: Kishiro's job doesn't emphasize such techniques.
[02.07.2023 19:02:04] Nina.Rodriguez[TBH]: Perhaps. I never met one.
[02.07.2023 19:08:10] Nina.Rodriguez[TBH]: In the empire, they know me for my stubborness.
[02.07.2023 19:08:27] Nina.Rodriguez[TBH]: But even if you let me leave, I will still be in Kusari.
[02.07.2023 19:08:35] Nina.Rodriguez[TBH]: Even if you don't like it.
[02.07.2023 19:08:48] YR|Kodachi: Does justify what I am about to undertake, in that case.
[02.07.2023 19:09:15] YR|Kodachi: This might teach you certain things then. Weapons ready. Long live the Blood Dragons!
[02.07.2023 19:09:25] Nina.Rodriguez[TBH]: So be it.
[02.07.2023 19:15:29] Death: Nina.Rodriguez[TBH] was put out of action by YR|Kodachi (Gun).
[24.07.2023 18:44:49] YR|Wakizashi: Smuggling?
[24.07.2023 18:44:58] Mine'N'Go: Well not really.
[24.07.2023 18:45:04] Mine'N'Go: Just filled up some Samura.
[24.07.2023 18:45:07] YR|Wakizashi: We will see.
[24.07.2023 18:45:34] YR|Wakizashi: Konbanwa. Cut your engines down, otherwise you'll be destroyed once I catch up.
[24.07.2023 18:45:44] SRD]Saga.Maru: Not this again
[24.07.2023 18:46:00] YR|Wakizashi: Prove yourself clever, and stand down.
[24.07.2023 18:46:11] SRD]Saga.Maru: It would be foolish to surrendor
[24.07.2023 18:46:21] SRD]Saga.Maru: I see a shipyard, I'm almost saved
[24.07.2023 18:46:29] YR|Wakizashi: This miner seems to be following us. I assume.
[24.07.2023 18:46:51] 2023-07-24 18:46:51 SMT Traffic control alert: SRD]Saga.Maru has requested to dock
[24.07.2023 18:46:54] YR|Wakizashi: Is this the transport that you "filled up?"
[24.07.2023 18:46:55] Mine'N'Go: I'm just catching up to the ones I just serviced is all.

[24.07.2023 18:46:58] Death: Tailspin was put out of action by Defender (Gun).
[24.07.2023 18:47:06] YR|Wakizashi: You could elaborate on that.
[24.07.2023 18:47:14] Mine'N'Go: I don't ask questions. I just do my job.
[24.07.2023 18:47:20] YR|Wakizashi: Both of you, smuggling, in Kusari?
[24.07.2023 18:47:40] Mine'N'Go: Well I wasn't going to. I just had residual ores that I put in I guess.
[24.07.2023 18:47:51] YR|Wakizashi: Where did you gather that material?
[24.07.2023 18:47:59] Mine'N'Go: Uhh...
[24.07.2023 18:48:10] Mine'N'Go: I'm not in a position to disclose that information.
[24.07.2023 18:48:17] Mine'N'Go: Lest it bites back upon me.
[24.07.2023 18:48:52] YR|Wakizashi: I've heard enough, so to say. The Zaibatsu striving for additional sources of income.
[24.07.2023 18:49:07] Mine'N'Go: You can infer as such.
[24.07.2023 18:49:16] Mine'N'Go: But I have no clue about their inner workings or machinations.
[24.07.2023 18:49:17] YR|Wakizashi: They've become so desperate. Though, that'll just sabotage them in the long-run.
[24.07.2023 18:49:23] Mine'N'Go: Just that I'm a contractor.
[24.07.2023 18:53:08] YR|Wakizashi: Informing them still, I suppose.
[24.07.2023 18:53:28] Mine'N'Go: Well...
[24.07.2023 18:53:36] Mine'N'Go: I am still under contract for a certain job with them.
[24.07.2023 18:53:37] YR|Wakizashi: Let's settle this down in a more interesting way. Leave this sector.
[24.07.2023 18:53:45] Mine'N'Go: And I will be only after my job is done.
[24.07.2023 18:53:51] YR|Wakizashi: Working for these lapdogs is fairly distasteful.
[24.07.2023 18:54:14] Mine'N'Go: Who I work with matters not I believe.
[24.07.2023 18:54:19] Mine'N'Go: I work for anyone that pays the bill.
[24.07.2023 18:54:42] YR|Wakizashi: Doesn't matter if you opt to be brainwashed by credits acquired though questionable means.
[24.07.2023 18:55:09] YR|Wakizashi: I wouldn't mind annihilating ones supporting their monopoly. If you wish to remain stubborn, I won't hesitate.
[24.07.2023 18:55:12] Mine'N'Go: Well. We all gotta live some way.
[24.07.2023 18:55:29] Mine'N'Go: Hm.
[24.07.2023 18:55:34] Mine'N'Go: If you would bully a simple miner.
[24.07.2023 18:55:41] Mine'N'Go: Shows a lot about you Dragons.
[24.07.2023 18:55:59] YR|Wakizashi: You had informed them, hence they chose to take a more unusual route through open space.
[24.07.2023 18:56:23] YR|Wakizashi: A simple miner? That story doesn't buy me.
[24.07.2023 18:56:27] Mine'N'Go: Well. Let's talk here instead.
[24.07.2023 18:56:35] Mine'N'Go: Since the shipyard won't have the range to fire at you.
[24.07.2023 18:56:45] YR|Wakizashi: Bold.
[24.07.2023 18:56:58] Mine'N'Go: I prefer to talk face to face after all.
[24.07.2023 18:57:06] YR|Wakizashi: Wish to end your life so soon, over someone who cares not whether you're part of space dust or not.
[24.07.2023 18:57:37] YR|Wakizashi: Showcases how much you value yourself. To your misfortune, working with those traitors isn't very right.
[24.07.2023 18:57:49] Mine'N'Go: Hah! Value is in the eye of the beholder!
[24.07.2023 18:57:51] YR|Wakizashi: Face-to-face. What do you wish to, prove here?
[24.07.2023 18:57:59] Mine'N'Go: And I value myself pretty well!
[24.07.2023 18:58:09] YR|Wakizashi: I see. Surely.
[24.07.2023 18:58:10] Mine'N'Go: It's more respectful, no?
[24.07.2023 18:58:20] Mine'N'Go: And respect is quite a huge part of Kusari culture?
[24.07.2023 18:58:22] YR|Wakizashi: You still haven't left this sector.
[24.07.2023 18:58:39] YR|Wakizashi: If you had any respect, you would have left by now.
[24.07.2023 18:58:41] Mine'N'Go: As I said. My job isn't done until the Samura say it is.
[24.07.2023 18:58:50] YR|Wakizashi: Then, so be it.
[24.07.2023 18:58:52] Mine'N'Go: My respect right now is reserved for my employers.
[24.07.2023 18:59:07] Mine'N'Go: And if you employed me, it will subsequently be reserved for you.
[24.07.2023 18:59:13] YR|Wakizashi: I gave you a chance. You neglected it.
[24.07.2023 18:59:14] Mine'N'Go: It's just how it is.
[24.07.2023 18:59:27] Mine'N'Go: Yeah?
[24.07.2023 18:59:32] Mine'N'Go: Then show the whole of Kusari!
[24.07.2023 18:59:38] Mine'N'Go: Show them all how the Dragons would dispatch of a simple miner!
[24.07.2023 18:59:42] YR|Wakizashi: Hai, you can as well die by your ignorance.
[24.07.2023 18:59:45] Mine'N'Go: Just to spite the corporations!

[24.07.2023 19:07:38] SRD]Saga.Maru: You are all truly scum
[24.07.2023 19:07:58] YR|Wakizashi: Honor is removing those who poison the Kusari.
It is always good to hear from a Blood Dragon, in any circumstance.
I find it… unsurprising. Kusari was the only nation state to never fully comply with 800 AS Liberty demands to cease and outlaw trading of alien artifacts. Though for the most part, it remained within the monopoly of Hogosha as Samura at the time did not dabble directly with Corsairs. Considering the distance involved and invaluable hundred years old experience you have in irregular warfare within the House of Kusari, I believe you and the Guildsmen from Sigmas are most suitable and in the best position to control flow of those trinkets. Even if vast majority of them turn out to be nothing more than effectively alien scrap metal, these things belong to xenoarchaeologists and museums in my honest opinion.
Rodriguez - of the Brotherhood branch of the Corsairs - intrigues me. They are not exactly known to be ‘diplomats’ however they seem to have ‘mellowed out’ for the standards of Crete. I spent my youth amongst Cretans from various paths of life on Gran Canaria so I have an insight into their mind. If you ask me, they are trying to get an edge over their competitors through unconventional means. As unconventional as pleading to the only House that could perhaps tolerate them. In their society you are judged by your wealth and deeds. That more often than not requires rallying warriors under their banner who look for a share. This necessitates logistics. Some acquire it by plunder. Trade is less prestigious nonetheless even most decorated veterans will respect the fact that they no longer have to starve. It could be so Brotherhood is forced to look for concessions that way.
If you need anything in particular, let us know. We are still very much invested in effort to liberate Tohoku and keep Kusari free of alien influence.
Grand Admiral Golanski, you have my personal gratitude for the information that you've made clear. Our collaborative efforts have, as usual, proven to be of remarkable benefit to our common activities. Some concern naturally develops while these materials seep into our society, mishandled by the profit greedy corporations with the inept in charge. Such a fixation on wealth leads to ruin, as it is against our tradition.
As this appears to be our first time sharing information to one another, I reckon I ought to introduce myself. My trustworthy Wakamusha (若武者), Muramoto, has got his hands full due to our common preoccupations, at present. With that in mind, I am stepping up to the responsibility that I had previously handed out to him. Name is Okazaki Yamato, Ryūchō (竜長) of the Yūmō Rōnin bearing the weight of the mentoring of my rather sparse people, ones holding the banner that lays down a foundation to our notably conservative operational procedures among the Blood Dragons. You can hold me responsible for the retrieval of that data you have gained a possession of.
Tohoku is undeniably a turning point featuring grave destabilization for our prosperity. I have recently had a fleeting exchange with an agent of yours, a part of the secondary flotilla. Personally, I am, to put it mildly, unfamiliar with any negative affairs that may have arisen in the most recent past between my kin and the Order. Your operative arrived to the scene quite reserved, as it were, regarding alleged trust issues with my brethren. In this regard, I feel compelled to shed light on our modus operandi, as it indeed covers some of our common duties.
Primary one being full-on removal of the Nomad threat in Tohoku and Kusari. In short term, or in a more humble approach, we desire to keep the danger at bay. Your paramilitary entity has throughout decades offered us numerous valuable lessons about the unknown, these so-called Nomads, and we take nobility in closely associating ourselves with the Order. In contrast, I would be in a quite unease if the Blood Dragons did not cooperate hand in hand with ones who stand by such noble incentives. Primarily, we contribute jointly, and endorse your facilities aboard Sendai Research Complex. Majority of the "snatched" artifacts find their way into your capable hands.
Alien artifact are on an exponential course to exert a tighter grip over Kusari, as per Government's permitted notion of liberty. GMG is likely more adept than us at managing the rather turbulent stream of these relics. I've been fiddling, and still am taking your proposition under advisement over a firmer hold over the circumstances at hand. Rōnin conform to the Sigma Alliance accord, a longstanding agreement that has been both signed, and put into practice throughout the years between us. Downside is that Yūmō Rōnin does not feature as the trustworthy party in the said document, as it's a non-signatory entity for obvious reasons. As much as I'd prefer not to bundle everything into a single message... I do find it necessary. In the interim, GMG stands in balance concerning their general stability.
We are well positioned to believe we can reach a consensus concerning a tighter control over the flow of these materials at hand. Our general predisposition about our involvement in multiple affairs also poses a great liability. As your Agents know well, resources at our disposal are stretched thin. Yūmō Rōnin, though effective, is overdue for a minor revamp of our armaments. A portion of our warships are of a long lineage. Ancient. Some impotent against modern opposition. A mutual helping hand would be welcomed, implying that the Order is in a better position. Though, I trust your environment too endures great uniform pressure.
This concludes my message. My kin desires to uphold bonds with ones who share similar perspectives. Rōnin, like myself, also are eager to endorse valuable information in regards to recognizing active Nomad threats. Perhaps, you hold intel that could be of practical use. Safety and peace, Grand Admiral. .

[23.06.2023 16:46:55] YR|Raijin: The Order. A magnificent sight.
[23.06.2023 16:47:17] OCV-Danaoi: Konichiwa, Dragon. I am glad to see it is a friend.
[23.06.2023 16:47:38] YR|Raijin: Konbanwa. Dragons have been waiting to eyewitness your Agents in awhile here, in Tohoku.
[23.06.2023 16:48:08] YR|Raijin: Seems as inactive, abandoned as it's ever been.
[23.06.2023 16:48:34] OCV-Danaoi: The Order has its assets spread thin. But for now the Danaoi is assigned on a semi-permanent basis to this region.
[23.06.2023 16:49:17] YR|Raijin: A semi-permanent you say. Intriguing to hear. I do have some questions, of course.
[23.06.2023 16:49:33] OCV-Danaoi: For now, thakfully. But we are maintaining a vigil over the region. There is likely still much inside of value. Ask away.
[23.06.2023 16:49:35] YR|Raijin: Questions that arose out of curiosity so to speak.
[23.06.2023 16:49:44] OCV-Danaoi: I will answer as best i am able.
[23.06.2023 16:50:07] YR|Raijin: First, I'd highly recommend departing from open space, inside the Nampo Cloud.
[23.06.2023 16:50:23] YR|Raijin: We've noticed a slight surge in Naval activity, and I am sure they wouldn't welcome you.
[23.06.2023 16:50:46] OCV-Danaoi: The warning is appreciated. Once we've finished conducting our scans we will withdraw to a safer distance.
[23.06.2023 16:50:56] YR|Raijin: I do sometimes pose questions in my intellect as to, are they truly Naval Forces, or have they been compromised.
[23.06.2023 16:51:25] OCV-Danaoi: These thoughts always run amongst our staff. We cannot be quite sure the level of infection still within Kusari circles.
[23.06.2023 16:51:31] YR|Raijin: Their behavior is always fairly ignorant, and perhaps, peculiar at times. Though, I do not professionalize in such.
[23.06.2023 16:52:22] YR|Raijin: They've got the still, 'untouched' arch standing next to 'their' corrupt Empire.
[23.06.2023 16:52:38] OCV-Danaoi: Naval Personnel in general are... I'm afraid, lacking in certain areas of initiative and thought... Politics...
[23.06.2023 16:52:49] YR|Raijin: Knocking on the doors time from time. I do not doubt certain, infiltrations occur. Seems as though, imminent.
[23.06.2023 16:53:36] YR|Raijin: Samura seems to influence them to a large extent. Those, building their monopoly on deceit.
[23.06.2023 16:54:04] YR|Raijin: Opportunistic politics, so to say. When have we met an honest politician.
[23.06.2023 16:54:16] OCV-Danaoi: The Corporates are frequently difficult to read. Their push for profit compromises the nation in ways i doubt they understand.
[23.06.2023 16:54:43] OCV-Danaoi: Their hold over the government is a continuing point of frustration. For now though, things have been quiet...
[23.06.2023 16:55:04] YR|Raijin: I wish it was solely this disgracious monopolistic ideology. The issue is much pettier than that.
[23.06.2023 16:55:41] YR|Raijin: Unfortunately, our present Shogunate seems fairly ineffective.
[23.06.2023 16:56:11] YR|Raijin: Our warriors are being tested, anyhow.
[23.06.2023 16:56:21] OCV-Danaoi: I'm not one to comment on house politics. But Kusari space has felt stagnant the past while, i must confess, in all aspects.
[23.06.2023 16:56:49] YR|Raijin: Kusari is bustling in activity, Agent.
[23.06.2023 16:57:07] YR|Raijin: They are plotting many schemes against my people.
[23.06.2023 16:57:53] YR|Raijin: I assure you, it is as though I witness evil in each any every word that they spit out.
[23.06.2023 16:58:36] OCV-Danaoi: Hm. Well, i shall hope such plans fall short... The Danaoi has information gathering work to do throughout Kusari.
[23.06.2023 16:59:48] YR|Raijin: We've still got a plenty of your people onboard our outposts, diligently conducting their work.
[23.06.2023 17:00:17] OCV-Danaoi: Indeed, and the Dragons continued support is greatly appreciated in these ever more difficult times.
[23.06.2023 17:00:21] YR|Raijin: Though, I wish the 'shogunate' put a larger emphasis onto our collaboration. It's an imperative that they seem to neglect.
[23.06.2023 17:00:33] OCV-Danaoi: Our operations throughout the Omicrons have been badly hindered by those damned Core... Thugs...
[23.06.2023 17:01:08] YR|Raijin: They have a distasteful name, I'll tell you that.
[23.06.2023 17:01:17] OCV-Danaoi: I am not as informed on other Order operations. Unfortuanantly, i believe the Danaoi is the only vessel-
[23.06.2023 17:01:36] OCV-Danaoi: dedicarted to this region of Kusari, and in turn supporting our Dragon allies, in what regard we can.
[23.06.2023 17:01:48] OCV-Danaoi: Others pass through, but rarely stay... Too damn few ships...
[23.06.2023 17:01:51] YR|Raijin: The operations that I've just spoken about have been running for many decades.
[23.06.2023 17:02:54] YR|Raijin: Those enormous antenna attachments I assume possess a great capability, no?
[23.06.2023 17:03:37] YR|Raijin: I cannot imagine the vast difference in reconnaissance range between this, small fighter, and that.
[23.06.2023 17:03:44] OCV-Danaoi: Of course. Though maintenance has proved an issue lately, a matter technicians at Mito Shipyard have been of great help with.
[23.06.2023 17:04:31] YR|Raijin: How new to this region are you, really?
[23.06.2023 17:05:00] YR|Raijin: First time that we've seen eye to eye, and I do oftentimes make my runs throughout the system.
[23.06.2023 17:05:30] OCV-Danaoi: It has been some years since i was present in Kusari, several of my crew are Kusari-born, but we have been much occupied in the
[23.06.2023 17:05:50] OCV-Danaoi: Omicrons for some time. So the minuate of politics have yet to be properly caught up on.
[23.06.2023 17:06:49] YR|Raijin: As long as you remain confidential in your operations from the unwanted eyes, your work will be successful.
[23.06.2023 17:07:23] OCV-Danaoi: So is the intent... We have some furtther work to do in the near Tau's, investigating the seeming split that has formed in the
[23.06.2023 17:07:25] YR|Raijin: Though, I'd state certain issues regarding artifact smuggle throughout Kusari. But, I will be on a leave soon.
[23.06.2023 17:07:27] OCV-Danaoi: Nomads...
[23.06.2023 17:08:11] YR|Raijin: Those strange aliens. I'm already annoyed by their extreme attempts.
[23.06.2023 17:08:42] OCV-Danaoi: I can only hope t hat Kusari has learned enough from prior events to keep their own eyes on the aliens infiltration attempts.
[23.06.2023 17:08:49] YR|Raijin: Personally, I receive most of the intel from the Order. My knowledge is fairly restricted in regards to them.
[23.06.2023 17:09:29] YR|Raijin: You're in a rather uncomfortable situation, whilst most majority of people have never heard of those, aliens.
[23.06.2023 17:09:53] OCV-Danaoi: Unfortunantly so, and most of the Houses prefer to keep it that way, despite the threat.
[23.06.2023 17:10:01] YR|Raijin: Yet, their propaganda media is swift to proclaim you as terrorists, likely ashamed of their dishonest past.
[23.06.2023 17:10:23] OCV-Danaoi: Easier to blame the losses on other humans, than toa cknowledge such an existential threat to their power.
[23.06.2023 17:10:50] YR|Raijin: Our situation has its similarities.
[23.06.2023 17:11:07] YR|Raijin: Though, Nomads, they're the genuine mystery.
[23.06.2023 17:11:41] YR|Raijin: I've yet to witness them with my naked eye in Tohoku. Should I wish to notice them, I trust not.
[23.06.2023 17:11:48] OCV-Danaoi: Unfortunantly so. Even to us much of their nature remains unknown.
[23.06.2023 17:12:05] OCV-Danaoi: Well. All being well, you may never have to witness one here... So i should hope...
[23.06.2023 17:12:28] YR|Raijin: Not witnessing them would just prove their capability.
[23.06.2023 17:13:23] Death: Bollocks was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[23.06.2023 17:13:31] YR|Raijin: Each time I enter this strange place a not so pleasant sensation washes over me.
[23.06.2023 17:14:05] OCV-Danaoi: They do hold a great mastery of cloaking technologies. But when they choose to reveal themselves it is often... Unfortunate.
[23.06.2023 17:14:29] OCV-Danaoi: And likewise. This place is quiet, yet not dead... I dislike it.
[23.06.2023 17:15:02] YR|Raijin: I most certainly agree.
[23.06.2023 17:15:17] OCV-Danaoi: Regardless, our scans are complete, and the Danaoi should return to Kyoto Base to resupply and confer with several local agents
[23.06.2023 17:15:29] YR|Raijin: I was just about to confess the same.
[23.06.2023 17:15:48] YR|Raijin: I will escort you to Chugoku, as my pathway is no different.
[23.06.2023 17:15:53] OCV-Danaoi: It is gratifying to see Dragons that still recall our alliance... Many are... Merely tolerant, it seems...
[23.06.2023 17:16:18] OCV-Danaoi: I think some are beginning to... Forget.
[23.06.2023 17:16:24] YR|Raijin: A truthful Dragon never does lose the sense of friendship.
[23.06.2023 17:16:53] YR|Raijin: Forgetting our own historic virtues is a spell for doom.
[23.06.2023 17:16:59] OCV-Danaoi: I shall hope that my feeling regarding some of your kin is merely misreading on my part.
[23.06.2023 17:17:33] YR|Raijin: Even though you've adopted a way of thinking, you may trust my word. My men value your Agents, more than some of -
[23.06.2023 17:17:39] YR|Raijin: - our closest companions.
[23.06.2023 17:18:06] YR|Raijin: Many more Dragons do, and those that seem to have slightly forgotten, will be 'reminded' in a way.
[23.06.2023 17:18:18] OCV-Danaoi: I shall trust your word on that, as the Dragons have rarely proven to fail on their word in the past, at least to us.
[23.06.2023 17:18:58] OCV-Danaoi: And it is regardless of any feelings, gratifying to still hold safe harbour in the hidden places the Dragons hold.
[23.06.2023 17:18:59] YR|Raijin: Our word never loses its meaning, and we do stay by them.
[23.06.2023 17:19:31] YR|Raijin: Chugoku is a well guarded system.
[23.06.2023 17:19:51] YR|Raijin: Each ship gets identified sooner than later, and intruders do not make it out alive.
[23.06.2023 17:20:07] OCV-Danaoi: So i have borne witness. Even lost Navy patrols do not last long.
[23.06.2023 17:20:26] YR|Raijin: This vast asteroid belt is a nightmare for the ignorant.
[23.06.2023 17:20:48] OCV-Danaoi: Well. My thanks for the conversation, Dragon, and the reassurances.
[23.06.2023 17:20:52] YR|Raijin: Kyoto will be accepting your men as honorably as it always has. Good luck out there.
[23.06.2023 17:21:01] OCV-Danaoi: Likewise, safe endeavours ,friend.
