MEMO - BRENNER'S PARK HOTEL

From: Acting Guild Master Azuki Tamagochi
To: Buero des Kanzleramtes

Konnichiwa Herr Schreiber.

I have arrived at Baden Baden this hour, and am just checking in now after Customs has cleared my Kujira Transport.

I must say, I have been to the OSC ship Hawaii for annual leave - but this is breathtaking!

I expect that at least two other Guild Masters will be arriving shortly. I look forward to this meeting.

Until then, Sayonara.

Orbit, 12000 km above Planet Baden Baden
Stuttgart System, House Rheinland
10 July, 817 AS

"This is Kotaka-one to Kotaka-two and three. I've got a visual on the docking ring. Prepare for atmospheric entry."

Roger that Kotaka-one. Kotaka-two is green.
Kotaka-three is green.

"Confirm latitude and longitude of rendezvous."

Latitude four-one three-seven zero-five, longitude minus six-zero zero-nine four-eight.

Nozaki Ichitmoto strapped himself in as he fired reverse thrusters on his Wasapu.

"This is Kotaka-one. Rendezvous confirmed, commencing atmospheric entry."

******

The two Kusari Drone freighters touched down, one on each side of the Wasapu. The freighters' doors slid open, as platforms extended from underneath and dropped to the landing pad below. Four guards, two armored, poured out from each and formed two parallel lines next to the Wasapu, standing at attention.

The Wasapu's cockpit sprung open, and a well-built Kusari man jumped out. The Guild Master was dressed in formal business attire, save for one article: his katana. In formation, the nine approached the Royal Baden Hotel.

The diminutive yet confidant Raikoke, along with her personal retinue, strolled down the loading ramp of her Akegata. As her feet touched down on the surface of Planet Baden Baden, Raikoke paused to take in the scene.

The place was a blend of modernization and luxury. Raikoke was never one to care for unnecessary luxuries but she still couldn't keep from rocking back on her heels at the sight of the resort in person. After regaining her composure, Raikoke and her retinue followed the stewards to the building where the meeting will take place.

As she arrived to the room she was directed to she turned to one of her clerks, "Please send the following transmission to the Kanzler's Office, post haste"

Incoming Transmission:

To: Speaker Dietrich Schreiber, Kanzler's Office
From: Guild Master Raikoke, Planet Baden Baden
Subject: Arrival

Konichiwa Speaker Dietrich-san

Arigato and Sayonara
Guild Master Raikoke


Trensmission End

With that finnished Raikoke headed in the direcction of a peaceful spot she noticed from her ship while landing. She'll need her mind relaxed and focused for the next coming days.

A little card could be found on one of the tables in the private rooms of the visitors, right next to a fruit basket.

[font=Comic Sans Ms]I hope the recent days have been under the signs of pleasure and our honored guests could not think on anything missing, while hopefully enjoying the stay.

Kanzler Rheinhardt asked us to hand our valuable guests this little present of treat.

We also want to inform you that the meetingroom will be available after dinner.
You will be guided to Tagungsraum 2 by Hotel Brenners staff.

Azuki picked up the card, then her personal secure vocoder.

Security was a relative term out here. Whilst reception was still good, who knew what interests had their own agendas in all of this - who else might be listening. Best to keep it short.

"Did you all get this too? Are you ready to go? I certainly am!"

Azuki wondered how much interest there would be from the Rheinland media. She remembered the images of the old Eighty talks. Even though the meetings themselves were behind closed doors - there were throngs of media in the halls greeting the delegates as they came and left, and daily progress updates and question time.

Whilst the coming meeting was the number one story back home, Rheinland was in the middle of being invaded. Would talks now slip into the back pages of The Discoverer? And would that be a good thing if it did?
