Konbanwa, Hideyoshi-san,
Short after the audience with the Taii-Shogun, i have boarded the hyperspace shuttle to 'Kokura', and immediately departed to Tau-44 in my Wyrm. The visit did pay off in an encounter with representatives of Natio Octavarium, that seem to be sympathetic to our cause, and highly not fond about the intrustion of Gallia into the Sirius Sector.
The past of Natio Octavarium seems shady, perhaps, it should stay the way it is, but, as one of our close neighbours and potential partners, they should not be ignored, thus, i am granting them full access to this channel, and, i believe, the rest you will be handling with the representatives of Natio Octavarium. I hope this word of greeting from them is going to turn into a fruitful and beneficial collaboration for both Dragons and our potential allies.

[20.05.2018 13:28:28] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: That depends on how you define 'someone', lass.
[20.05.2018 13:28:55] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Midnight strolls around the system always cure my insomnia.
[20.05.2018 13:29:19] BD|-'Homura: "Yes, it seems that 'someone' is around, after all."
[20.05.2018 13:30:01] BD|-'Homura: "Let's see, maybe i can peek on you."
[20.05.2018 13:30:38] NO-F-Harold.Kane: That's a proposition and a half.
[20.05.2018 13:31:13] BD|-'Homura: "Depending on the outcome, we might have an exciting conversation."
[20.05.2018 13:31:53] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Well, that's what I live and breathe for.
[20.05.2018 13:32:53] BD|-'Homura: "I think i see... Melbourne station."
[20.05.2018 13:33:04] BD|-'Homura: "I see a... Melbourne station."
[20.05.2018 13:33:21] NO-F-Harold.Kane: It's a cozy station, that.
[20.05.2018 13:33:40] BD|-'Homura: "Does it belong to you?"
[20.05.2018 13:33:59] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Indeed.
[20.05.2018 13:34:26] BD|-'Homura: "Then... who are 'you', if i may ask?"
[20.05.2018 13:35:06] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Natio Octavarium. We're harmless, to put it underwhelmingly.
[20.05.2018 13:35:31] NO-F-Harold.Kane: I've been hoping to run into a member of the honourable Dragons for a while, to be honest.
[20.05.2018 13:35:38] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Establish relations, all that.
[20.05.2018 13:35:49] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: The Commission is of similar mind.
[20.05.2018 13:35:55] BD|-'Homura: "Looks like we can switch to somewhat more private channel."
[20.05.2018 13:36:08] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Indeed. Welcome to our little slice of heaven.
[20.05.2018 13:36:33] NO-F-Harold.Kane: You know, when the Gauls aren't interrupting it.
[20.05.2018 13:36:40] BD|-'Homura: "Domo Arigatou. However, Minato Harbour and locals don't like me too much..."
[20.05.2018 13:36:50] NO-F-Harold.Kane: The Crayterians are difficult, aye.
[20.05.2018 13:37:08] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Crayter automated defenses are... not the most gracefully-programmed.
[20.05.2018 13:37:24] NO-F-Harold.Kane: I was under the impression that the Shogunate and the Crayterians had an agreement of sorts. That's what Crayter told me.
[20.05.2018 13:37:43] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Ah, unfortunate. An emergency calls.
[20.05.2018 13:37:53] BD|-'Homura: "Such agreement is present, indeed. But, as you see, automated systems couldn't care less."
[20.05.2018 13:37:55] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Can't let Escher's coffee go cold, Agent.
[20.05.2018 13:38:28] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Indeed. I believe Melbourne is aware of the agreement. And, of course, we ourselves have no issue with the Shogunate.
[20.05.2018 13:38:36] NO-F-Harold.Kane: The legitimate one, that is.
[20.05.2018 13:38:54] BD|-'Homura: "So, as you might have already noticed, there is a living Dragon right before your eyes."
[20.05.2018 13:39:12] NO-F-Harold.Kane: If Melbourne's defenses are reacting inappropriately to your presence I will have that matter resolved.
[20.05.2018 13:39:16] BD|-'Homura: "And of your words i have made a conclusion that you have some proposition in mind, perhaps?"
[20.05.2018 13:39:30] BD|-'Homura: "There is no issue with Melbourne, worry not."
[20.05.2018 13:39:32] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Opening doors, is all.
[20.05.2018 13:39:50] NO-F-Harold.Kane: We are not a fan of those which claim to be running Kusari.
[20.05.2018 13:39:58] NO-F-Harold.Kane: They are far too friendly to the Gallic invaders.
[20.05.2018 13:40:08] NO-F-Harold.Kane: The same Gallic invaders that have pushed my people out of their previous home.
[20.05.2018 13:40:15] BD|-'Homura: "They are licking their feet, rather, and that's disgusting."
[20.05.2018 13:40:38] BD|-'Homura: "Not something i wish to observe or tolerate for my Home."
[20.05.2018 13:40:47] NO-F-Harold.Kane: And not something we wish to continue.
[20.05.2018 13:40:57] NO-F-Harold.Kane: The people of Kusari deserve better.
[20.05.2018 13:41:28] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Such fiesty people, those Crayterians.
[20.05.2018 13:41:45] BD|-'Homura: "Can not really blame them for such."
[20.05.2018 13:42:04] NO-F-Harold.Kane: And their IMG friends... are misguided at best.
[20.05.2018 13:42:27] NO-F-Harold.Kane: But as we share this system with the Crayterians, we are unfortunately forced to be agreeable.
[20.05.2018 13:42:37] BD|-'Homura: "However, with the recent merge of Imperial Navy and The Republic, Dragons appeared to be... in even more vulnerable position."
[20.05.2018 13:43:04] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Indeed. The Dragons deserve better.
[20.05.2018 13:43:44] BD|-'Homura: "So, what would be your proposition? I will direct your words to where they belong."
[20.05.2018 13:43:48] NO-F-Harold.Kane: In essence, what I wish to do is say hello. Merely say that we are here, and we are sympathetic to your cause.
[20.05.2018 13:44:00] BD|-'Homura: "Assist you in 'establishing the link', so to say."
[20.05.2018 13:44:14] NO-F-Harold.Kane: If there is something we can do to help you, we are here.
[20.05.2018 13:44:37] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: The Commission may also have an interest, but I believe there are contacts working on that already.
[20.05.2018 13:44:44] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Ah, agent.
[20.05.2018 13:45:02] BD|-'Homura: "The Comission? An intelligence agency of sorts?"
[20.05.2018 13:45:22] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Octavarium Intelligence Commission. We monitor threats to Natio Octavarium.
[20.05.2018 13:45:30] Death: Gtock suffered a self-inflicted catastrophic decompression.
[20.05.2018 13:45:55] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: I can't immediately share everything, but that's publicly known to be Gallia and those who support them

[20.05.2018 13:46:50] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: The appeasers and capitulators are even worse. Bretonian history warns of Chamberlain and those like him.
[20.05.2018 13:47:47] NO-F-Harold.Kane: I mostly stay out of Commission affairs. The obvious joke is that intelligence is not my strong suit.

[20.05.2018 13:48:57] NO-F-Harold.Kane: I am more concerned about the wellbeing of our people, and that they and others like them are not subjected to the horrors we--
[20.05.2018 13:49:19] NO-F-Harold.Kane: --see in those places that Gallia have single-handedly reduced.
[20.05.2018 13:49:58] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: I was born in Leeds. I would see Gallia repaid in kind. But that is not exactly our role.
[20.05.2018 13:50:04] BD|-'Homura: "So, what is Natio Octavarium? You honestly don't look like some sort of refugee camp."
[20.05.2018 13:50:40] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: We come from many walks. Many of us are those who are trying to start a new life, for various reasons.
[20.05.2018 13:51:47] BD|-'Homura: "That's... not exactly what i've expected. Some brief past history would suffice."
[20.05.2018 13:52:06] BD|-'Homura: "For better understanding of how should i approach Taii-Shogun with the word from you."
[20.05.2018 13:52:08] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Many of us, myself not included, have criminal pasts that we renounced in the wake of Gallia's destruction.
[20.05.2018 13:53:02] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: But, where to go? Liberty? The LPI would just throw them into their labor-camp prisons. Bretonia? Far worse problems.
[20.05.2018 13:53:21] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Rheinland's justice is a joke, and Kusari... I should think I don't have to elaborate.
[20.05.2018 13:54:08] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: For their part, Liberty - home to most of those pilots - agreed to let our pasts go and let us settle elsewhere.
[20.05.2018 13:54:12] BD|-'Homura: "Indeed. I live on the other side of law for a few years already, and i've seen enough."
[20.05.2018 13:54:34] NO-F-Harold.Kane: We tried the Independent Worlds, and for a couple years we were slowly beginning a real life. Gallia came and muscled us out.
[20.05.2018 13:54:55] NO-F-Harold.Kane: So we came to a system that Gallia knew existed but pulled out of due to... reasons.
[20.05.2018 13:55:10] BD|-'Homura: "Gallia's influence is nothing but a harm to anyone it affects."
[20.05.2018 13:55:12] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Mostly related to all that lingering wreckage.
[20.05.2018 13:55:28] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Tau-44 was not worth their time once. We took a calculated risk and determined it would not be worth their time again.
[20.05.2018 13:55:47] NO-F-Harold.Kane: We see small patrols of their tertiary and quarternary fleets occasionally, but nothing of any importance.
[20.05.2018 13:55:50] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: We're in a better position to make them regret their overextension, as well.
[20.05.2018 13:56:31] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: But, stability must be attained first.
[20.05.2018 13:56:52] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: We have civilians to look after, and cannot simply rush into open war, even if we *did* have the firepower for that sort of
[20.05.2018 13:56:55] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: frontal military conflict.
[20.05.2018 13:57:03] NO-F-Harold.Kane: We are hoping to give our people some stability.
[20.05.2018 13:57:19] BD|-'Homura: "I see. It seems to finally be worthy of my time to visit Tau-44 and run into something... exciting."
[20.05.2018 13:57:24] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Better, I think, to leave direct action to the more plentiful forces of Crayter and the Council, and divert our expertise to...
[20.05.2018 13:57:36] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: indirect approaches.
[20.05.2018 13:58:33] BD|-'Homura: "That's the way of mind i can respect."
[20.05.2018 13:58:40] NO-F-Harold.Kane: We're here to do better things for our people.
[20.05.2018 13:59:07] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: And if Gallia falls back and ends their invasion, Sirius will be better for it.
[20.05.2018 13:59:41] BD|-'Homura: "Exactly."
[20.05.2018 14:00:04] BD|-'Homura: "Now, if you would allow me - i would like to stop at Melbourne for the time being."
[20.05.2018 14:00:21] BD|-'Homura: "All the formalties with The Shogunate i am going to handle aboard of it."
[20.05.2018 14:00:28] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Certainly. I believe you already have clearance.
[20.05.2018 14:00:36] NO-F-Harold.Kane: I believe that is the case.
[20.05.2018 14:00:51] BD|-'Homura: "Well, only one way to find out."
[20.05.2018 13:28:28] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: That depends on how you define 'someone', lass.
[20.05.2018 13:28:55] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Midnight strolls around the system always cure my insomnia.

[20.05.2018 13:53:21] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Rheinland's justice is a joke, and Kusari... I should think I don't have to elaborate.
[20.05.2018 13:54:08] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: For their part, Liberty - home to most of those pilots - agreed to let our pasts go and let us settle elsewhere.
[20.05.2018 13:54:12] BD|-'Homura: "Indeed. I live on the other side of law for a few years already, and i've seen enough."
[20.05.2018 13:54:34] NO-F-Harold.Kane: We tried the Independent Worlds, and for a couple years we were slowly beginning a real life. Gallia came and muscled us out.
[20.05.2018 13:54:55] NO-F-Harold.Kane: So we came to a system that Gallia knew existed but pulled out of due to... reasons.
[20.05.2018 13:55:10] BD|-'Homura: "Gallia's influence is nothing but a harm to anyone it affects."
[20.05.2018 13:55:12] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Mostly related to all that lingering wreckage.
[20.05.2018 13:55:28] NO-F-Harold.Kane: Tau-44 was not worth their time once. We took a calculated risk and determined it would not be worth their time again.
[20.05.2018 13:55:47] NO-F-Harold.Kane: We see small patrols of their tertiary and quarternary fleets occasionally, but nothing of any importance.
[20.05.2018 13:55:50] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: We're in a better position to make them regret their overextension, as well.
[20.05.2018 13:56:31] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: But, stability must be attained first.
[20.05.2018 13:56:52] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: We have civilians to look after, and cannot simply rush into open war, even if we *did* have the firepower for that sort of
[20.05.2018 13:56:55] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: frontal military conflict.
[20.05.2018 13:57:03] NO-F-Harold.Kane: We are hoping to give our people some stability.
[20.05.2018 13:57:19] BD|-'Homura: "I see. It seems to finally be worthy of my time to visit Tau-44 and run into something... exciting."
[20.05.2018 13:57:24] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Better, I think, to leave direct action to the more plentiful forces of Crayter and the Council, and divert our expertise to...
[20.05.2018 13:57:36] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: indirect approaches.
[20.05.2018 13:58:33] BD|-'Homura: "That's the way of mind i can respect."
[20.05.2018 13:58:40] NO-F-Harold.Kane: We're here to do better things for our people.
[20.05.2018 13:59:07] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: And if Gallia falls back and ends their invasion, Sirius will be better for it.
[20.05.2018 13:59:41] BD|-'Homura: "Exactly."
[20.05.2018 14:00:04] BD|-'Homura: "Now, if you would allow me - i would like to stop at Melbourne for the time being."
[20.05.2018 14:00:21] BD|-'Homura: "All the formalties with The Shogunate i am going to handle aboard of it."
[20.05.2018 14:00:28] NO-OCS-Save.Yourself: Certainly. I believe you already have clearance.
[20.05.2018 14:00:36] NO-F-Harold.Kane: I believe that is the case.
[20.05.2018 14:00:51] BD|-'Homura: "Well, only one way to find out."
