Mister Hebishima of the Takarabune Conglomerate.

Our recent meeting^[1] suggested that the deal I presented will not pose any difficulties for The Hogosha Association. Was I wrong to think so highly of you? Almost two weeks have passed, and I have not received even the slightest update on the matter nor any information that would give me assurance that the plan was set in motion.

I do apologize for my lack of patience, but this is of highest importance to myself, so I would not like to see it delayed unless it is absolutely required to do so. All of the preparations I was required to do are completed - The plan for secure exchange of goods is ready, as well as the handful of credits prepared to be transferred to account of your choosing.

I await your response.

You did well to bring this subject up. Our contacts with Renzu managed to get an old Liner sold for scrap in return for a new model of theirs, putting the Miyoshi into our possession. The delays were caused by the paperwork of moving its ownership to the front company, which will "operate" the liner on some cruise services in the Leeds and Gallic Border regions.

Key elements of the crew have been briefed on the situation, and an little "accident" on the cargo hold is to happen when we are crossing Tau-29. Together with a totally unexpected interception by "outcasts" or some other criminal group of your preference, the crew will be ordered to ditch the stranded Miyoshi and run for their lives.

Our side is ready for the procedure. The window of opportunity is open no later than the upcoming Saturday.

If you're willing and able to go ahead with the transaction as you say, which I'm sure you're all interested in being so, you can wire half of the pay to the [HA]Kaigai.Ginko . We will consider that as the go signal.

Hebishima, singing off.

You did not disappoint me, after all.

The plan is rather simple. You shall make sure that the Miyoshi is passing trough Tau-29 at exactly 22:00 Sirius Time this Saturday. While taking the lane from Nago Station towards the Freeport 6, your vessel will be unexpectedly halted by a group of Pirates, who will attempt to board the vessel. Overwhelmed by the hostile forces, the captain will send a distress call to Nago Station and proceed with the evacuation. When the patrol arrives to location, it will find no trace of Miyoshi, but only scattered escape pods. As soon the boarding party assumes control of Miyoshi, it will move it deeper into the Barrier, towards Coronado system. What we do later is not of your concern. The exact location of an ambush is marked below.

My word is as solid as a rock, mister Hebishima, but this is a business deal, so I understand the credits carry more weight than words. I am aware the vessel's worth is somewhere around 420,000,000 Universal credits, but you did not tell me what's the price of your services. Not to mention a bonus I have promised. Your next message surely needs an input on exact figures.

To not delay this any further, your account should receive 250,000,000 Universal credits^[1]. I am assured it will be enough to proceed.

Glad to see your interest in concluding this cleanly, and we appreciate the advance payment. Indeed, it is within our expectations that we receive proper compensation for the vessel, as well as for the hassle of dealing with the authorities on your behalf. I think it's quite proper to assume that a final price of 499.09 Million credits (plus vessel tax) is a decent number for the whole package.

Hope we can bring this business to a calm resolution. We will be there at the appointed time.

Hebishima, singing off.

Mister Hebishima,

Despite the minor delay, the operation is a success. We have intercepted the transport, and after few unfortunate events, 50 Marines have boarded and took command of Miyoshi, moving it deep into The Barrier. Just as we planned.

I see you have thoroughly prepared this action, not leaving anything to chance. I applaud you. I do hope you are satisfied with our performance as well - we have made sure the trace leads to group of independent Pirates connected to the Junkers. It will seem that the ship will be hitting the Puerto Rico's smelters this very day. In reality, its fate will be much different.

As I have promised, the remaining sum of credits^[1] have been transferred to your account, together with a small bonus as a token of appreciation.

Until next time.

Yes, quite unfortunate what happened to the Miyoshi. The border worlds are an uncivilized region, for one reason or the other. We thank your for informing us and for your gesture of sympathy.

Naturally, I wont pry further to the "fate" of the ship. However, if there is anything else we can accommodate you with in this or other matters, feel free to come our way.

Hebishima, singing off.

Mr Hebishima,

It is good to hear from you old friend. I trust that business is good as usual? And from what I see my apprentice is very satisfied with your work as well. Very good. I think it is proper for me to give you a personal reward as well.

As you are well aware, EJ Enterprises, a Junker modular base not too far from Leiden Base was a thorn to Hogosha interests. In very close proximity from Kusari, it was trading in artifacts and any other sort of contraband for some time, replacing genuine Hogosha business with a Junker one. Even though we never heard a complaint from the Assosiation I understand you didn't like this one bit. Anyway I am in the very pleasant situation to inform you that EJ Enterprises has been taken out of business.

Perhaps a Hogosha convoy to Leiden will commemorate this great victory? I wonder.

Have a nice day my friend.

Mr. Yoshida, so good to hear from you again. It seems that in the midst of data caches that you provided us recently, this "EJ Enterprises" topic had been overlooked, so pardon me to find more surprised that it existed in the first place rather than it's announced destruction.
With nothing to congratulate myself of, I can only offer my regards to the Lane Hackers in their contribution to the cleanup of the anarchist jungle that the Liberty border systems have become of late. If you like for some time of enjoyment for you and your own, the Association would be glad to accommodate a small party of yours for a good evening at the Golden Dragon Casino, free of charge.
If you prefer a small respite in Leiden for catching up the news and share ideas, just say the word and I'll make arrangements on my schedule to meet you at the earliest convenience.

May the Fortunes grant you good winds and favorable business.

Hebishima, singing off.

I will accept your offer Mr Hebishima.

I have some old friends in the Hogosha who I haven't met for some time and this will be a great opportunity to see them. If the Association requires the services of the Lane Hackers or have some ideas for a joint operation I will be more than happy to assist you.

Good day my friend.
