Kuyshu Rice was delivered to Samura workers on Planet Kurile early this morning by ships Samura|-Nariko and Samura|-Kunashir. After some resting on the planet the convoy purchased Alien organisms and proceeded to Shikoku system to increase production of fish on Planet Junyo. Both Samura|-Nariko and Samura|-Kunashir arrived successfully on the planet.

Accident at Shiojiri Depot/Nagano - kuvacz - 08-26-2014
FROM: Hiraga Gennai
TO: Samura Headquarters
LOCATION: Planet Tamioka/Nagano
SUBJECT: Accident at Shiojiri Depot/Nagano
Konichi wa honorable ladies and gentlemen of Samura,
just today I was promoted to my first command of a Samura Hegemon mining vessel, callsign: [S]_Hiraga.Gennai which I am, or better was, very proud of.
My first mission was to mine platinum for our company in the Nagano System.
Just when I had started the mining operation one of my mining turrets must have had a malfunction and it accidently must have hit an installation belonging to Shiojiri Depot.
Quicker then I could react the stations defensive installations opend heavy fire on me, and I barely made it out alive.
So now I am here to ask you humbly, honorable ladies and gentlemen, if there might be any chance to get this issue solved, so that I can stay a loyal and especially one that is allowed to stay alive, employee of Samura and don't have to practice Harikari to equal my failure.

Itabashi Station has been restocked with necessary repair materials and crew requirements.
I have been informed that The Fisherman from Takarabune Company has rented 50.000 unites of cargo space on Itabashi Station for trade purposes. That is good, forming better ties with them will bring higher income for Samura. I will be giving more attention to the Fisherman from Takarabune Company in the future, his company knows how to do business.
Until my services are needed again, I hear bar on Itabashi Station is work place for some beautiful waitresses.

Kyushu Rice deliveries to Planet Crete have been delivered on to occasions. Reports are as follow:
Friday 22.08.821.
On the way to Omicron Gamma and Planet Crete I encountered our friends from Hogosha Association in Honshu system. We teamed up and went together for Corsair space. In Omicron Theta our convoy encountered a member for The Corsair Brotherhood. We greeted him and exchanged some Kyushu Rice and Rum. From there we continued towards Crete and delivered humanitarian aid. Ships participating in this humanitarian aid convoy were Samura|-Shinobu , [HA]-Tb|Kani-maru and [HA]-$|Casino~*K&K*~. No hostiles encounters on the way. Only the Fisherman and me returned back to Kusari, while the Yukari Yakumo stayed on Crete to rest and return in later time. On the return we purchased some artifacts from Corsairs and sold it on Kabukicho. [1], [2].
More humanitarian aid will follow shortly.

Subject: Attacks against Samura
Konnichiwa,
This is... I just had a secondary encounter with a junker group composed of criminals and robbers. Yesterday, my transport was stopped by those scums in the Sigma-13 system and asked to drop all cargo. I had to do it otherwise they would have destroyed it in seconds. Bomber weapons are too strong for my Akegata. That was yesterday...
Today, I managed to get to Rheinland untouched but on my way back, I got reports of the same individuals blocking the Sigma-13 system. So, I had an escort pilot fly there and see what's happening. He reported that only one JM bomber was in Sigma-13 and another vessel in Honshu. I asked him to get to Honshu and identify the other vessel. He couldn't find it after the first patrol and had to dock on Narita. When he undocked, the second JM fighter was waiting outside Narita and asked my pilot for 3 million credits. When he told me about it, I almost fell of my command chair. Of course, the junker had to run in the end. His ship damaged and probably running low on nanobots. There was a KNF gunboat and several remote controlled drones that were hurting the criminal.
Here's a transcript of the communication between my pilot and the junker:
Code: JM|-Budget.cut: Adam: hello lad.
JM|-Budget.cut: Adam: So, now you will pay 3 milions to JMs
JM|-Budget.cut: Adam: Or i will turn around and make you pay, got it?
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Perfect. Just the evidence I needed.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: How about I end your sorry life?
JM|-Budget.cut: Adam:Sure, you can try.
JM|-Budget.cut: Adam: Your patrols here are strong
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: This is Kusari, you scum.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Now your average GMG space where you can do whatever you want is a different matter, isn't it?
JM|-Budget.cut: Adam: So you said, you want to end my pathetic life=
JM|-Budget.cut: ?
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Our patrols seem to handle that for me.
JM|-Budget.cut: Adam: Son, im still here
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: And you still don't have your 3 million credits.
JM|-Budget.cut: Adam: So are all Samura pilots stupid as you?
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Even if they are stupid as me, there's still a lot of stupidity between us and your level of stupid.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: You're as low as GMG goes when it comes to stupid.
JM|-Budget.cut: Adam: that is not nice.
JM|-Budget.cut: Adam: So where are my 3 milions?
JM|-Budget.cut: Adam: Since im tired talking to you?
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Did you ever have that much money?
JM|-Budget.cut: Adam: I will if you pay me.
JM|-Budget.cut: Adam: And then i will leave you alone.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: And why would I pay a lowlife like you?
JM|-Budget.cut: Adam: Then i won't have to shoot you? that is how piracy works you know.
JM|-Budget.cut: Adam: So? What say you?
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Oh... so, you running around is piracy. Interesting. Even I could do that if it wasn't so stupid.
JM|-Budget.cut: Adam: Right, you said no? Only 3 milions?
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: I can move wherever I want. It's not like you're constraining me to pay you anything.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: This is Kusari, you poor beggar.
JM|-Budget.cut: Adam: Right, I still don't like you.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: The feeling is mutual.
JM|-Budget.cut: Adam: So, you should dock now and hide.
JM|-Budget.cut: Adam: Before i make you dock.
JM|-Budget.cut: Adam: Did you dock?
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Shut up. I'm watching the show.
JM|-Budget.cut: Adam: Ok then, im bored of this, here, watch this.
JM|-Budget.cut: Adam: Just die.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: You know... you got a big mouth.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Like all the lowlives out there actually.
JM|-Budget.cut: Adam: so?
JM|-Budget.cut: Adam: And you have small balls
JM|-Budget.cut: Adam: like all kusarians out there.
JM|-Budget.cut: Adam: huging the base, nice.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Leave if you don't like it.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: I very much like this base. Of course, Samura helped building it.
JM|-Budget.cut: Adam: You are waste of time.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Cry me a river.

Subject: Gaians
Konnichiwa,
After receiving this I decided to invite that gaian to South Islands on planet Kyushu. It appears that they're interested in our ship building capabilities. They offered to attack Golden Chrysanthemums and Blood Dragons in exchange for us putting a good word about them to Hogosha and possibly helping them in the future with various issues. Of course this could back fire on us so I did no written deal.
I recommend we talk to our Hogosha contacts and let them know about these gaians and their ideas. Maybe the two groups can work together. Bellow I attached the communication logs.
Code: <G>Black.Pearl: Flora: Good day!
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Ah... konnichiwa, Flora-kun.
<G>Black.Pearl: Flora: How is your day going?
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Much better now, thanks for asking.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: I see you're already flying a Samura ship... I hope you find it good.
<G>Black.Pearl: Flora: Indeed, it's very good. There are still some minor issues though.
JM|-Exodus: Konichiwa!
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Hmmm... like what? Maybe we could address these problems.
<G>Black.Pearl: Flora: Good day.
JM|-Scrub.Two: Adam: *spits* hello
JM|-Exodus: Ah, hello there Gaian. What brings you to Kusari today?
<G>Black.Pearl: Flora: Business.
JM|-Exodus: Business? I see
JM|-Exodus: As are we
JM|-Scrub.Two: Adam: Aye. We have a job here too.
<G>Black.Pearl: Flora: Well, sir Okura, there are some minor technicall issues between our equipment and this ships but I belive that we'll so.
<G>Black.Pearl: Flora: sort them out.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Flora-kun, I think it would be best if we head to the meeting location. It looks like we're attracting too much attention...
JM|-Exodus: Tsk, one can only assume the Samura is having a conversation with that Gaian
<G>Black.Pearl: Flora: Agreed.
JM|-Exodus: Hey, Gaian, any chance you could convince that Samura to come over here for a while?
JM|-Scrub.Two: Adam: Oh, I see.
JM|-Exodus: Scrub wants to play a game
JM|-Scrub.Two: Adam: Yeah, just a game, nothing more.
<G>Black.Pearl: Flora: I don't think so.
JM|-Exodus: D'aw, such a shame
JM|-Scrub.Two: Adam: That makes me sad.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: After you... Meet me at the docks after you land. I arranged transportation.
JM|-Exodus: We'll have to try again later Adam, I'm sure we'll get an oppertunity
<G>Black.Pearl: Flora: Alright.
Traffic control alert: <G>Black.Pearl has requested to dock
JM|-Scrub.Two: Adam: We sure will.
JM|-Exodus: We'll see you later
Traffic control alert: Samura|-Tekkan.Okura has requested to dock
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: *on the landing platform*
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: There's her ship... now where is she?
<G>Black.Pearl: *waves*
<G>Black.Pearl: I'm over here!
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Ah... miss Flora.
<G>Black.Pearl: Nice to meet you in person, sir Okura.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: *Tekkan examines her from head to toes* Likewise, miss Flora.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Please follow me. We have a ship waiting.
<G>Black.Pearl: *follows him*
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: *The ship is a modified "Drone" outfitted with wings for planetary flights*
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: *There are several kusarians inside, some of them armed with sidearms*
<G>Black.Pearl: *looks at them*
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Don't worry... corporate security.
<G>Black.Pearl: Yes, yes, of course...
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: They're the good guys.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: *The transport takes them to a mountainous island, far from the spaceport. They spend 1 hour on the way*
<G>Black.Pearl: *looks through the window*
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: We're almost there... Southern Islands of Kyushu.
<G>Black.Pearl: I like this planet. It's way more beautiful than those in Bretonia. Not counting Gaia of course.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Now that you mentioned it... How's the south pole on Gaia?
<G>Black.Pearl: Good.
<G>Black.Pearl: No issues so far.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: But there's ice, right?
<G>Black.Pearl: Uhm... Yes, why?
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: No melting problems, nothing?
<G>Black.Pearl: I'm not aware of any.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: That's good, that's good. We have no problems on Kyushu either.
<G>Black.Pearl: I think that certain group would say otherwise...
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Who?
<G>Black.Pearl: Alliance, for example.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Hahaha, no. They wouldn't say that. Well... maybe they would but then it would be their fault, really.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Anyway, you might want to wear this.
<G>Black.Pearl: Hm?
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: *He hands her a fur coat*
<G>Black.Pearl: No, no I don't think so.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: It's cold outside...
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: It's synthetic if that's your problem with it. A very good imitation, I might add.
<G>Black.Pearl: Indeed, very good...
<G>Black.Pearl: *takes the fur*
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: *the ship lands and the door opens. Cold wind takes snow inside the ship*
<G>Black.Pearl: I hope that you ain't lying to me. That would make me a little upset.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: What? No, no. I wouldn't want you upset. Ahhh... let's get inside the building. I'm freezing here.
<G>Black.Pearl: *looks around and takes a deep breath*
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: *A small building with an open door is just a few meters away from the landing pad.*
<G>Black.Pearl: I agree, let's get inside.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: *There's a Samura Heavy Industries sign at the entrance as well as a "Authorized personnel only* sign.*
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: *Once inside, Tekkan takes off his jacket*
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Care for a drink?
<G>Black.Pearl: Yes, please.
<G>Black.Pearl: *takes off the fur*
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: *He shows Flora a table with two very confortable chairs around*
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Let me take that coat...
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Katsumi, sake for me and...
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: What would you like to drink?
<G>Black.Pearl: Wine, if you have.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Wine... is Gallic one ok? I have Lyonnais 816 and Ile-de-France 817.
<G>Black.Pearl: Yes, I'd like Lyonnais.
<G>Black.Pearl: *takes a seat*
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Good... Katsumi, bring a bottle of Lyon and two glasses.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: The drinks will be here in a moment. So...
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: *he takes the other seat*
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: I got to say, I'm glad you accepted this meeting.
<G>Black.Pearl: And I'm happy that you didn't rejected our offer right at the start.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: *a young girl appears and serves the drinks. she doesn't look anyone in the eyes and tries to keep her distance from Tekkan*
<G>Black.Pearl: It's good to know that there still are people willing to talk with us.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Hai... the biggest corporation in Kusari will always care for environment.
<G>Black.Pearl: *Flora glances at the girl and takes her glass*
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Excuse me for a moment... *he goes out of the room, following the servant girl*
<G>Black.Pearl: *Flora looks at the door for a moment and slowly shooks her head*
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: *He comes back after two or three minutes* I'm very sorry for this...
<G>Black.Pearl: For...?
<G>Black.Pearl: *she looks at Tekkan*
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: The interruption...
<G>Black.Pearl: No problem.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: So, you asked us for supplies and even ships.
<G>Black.Pearl: Yes, I did.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: In return you offer your fighting skills against the Blood Dragons and the Chrysanthemums.
<G>Black.Pearl: Indeed.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Also... you wanted to be able to dock on our bases... and Hogosha's.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Miss Flora, while all this seems decent to me, the Kusari Authorities might not look at this deal the same way.
<G>Black.Pearl: That's why I wanted to talk this through first.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Hai, a wise decision.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Like it or not, you organization is considered a terrorist group in Bretonia...
<G>Black.Pearl: I understand that cooperating wih us may cause some suspicions, but I think that our cooperation with Hogosha would serve as
<G>Black.Pearl: a good cover. AM I correct?
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Ah... Hogosha, hai! That may work well.
<G>Black.Pearl: But, well, as far as I know we aren't in Bretonia.
<G>Black.Pearl: And as far as I know, Hogosha's legal status withing Bretonia is pretty much the same as ours.
<G>Black.Pearl: Also, I'm aware of certain... tensions between Kusari and Gallia.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Really? This is news to me.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: All I know is that the two houses are at peace and corporations from both sides trade with each other.
<G>Black.Pearl: Well, as far as I know many kusarians aren't very happy with the forced peace between Kusari and Gallia.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: You seem well informed, miss Flora.
<G>Black.Pearl: WHile this peace is stable while Kusari is still rebuilding it's military, what will happen when you'll be back at your full
<G>Black.Pearl: military potential?
<G>Black.Pearl: However, we're going too far into the future.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: I can't predict the future, Miss Flora. The most I can do is take precautions considering all the aspects of the issue.
<G>Black.Pearl: *sips her wine*
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Back to our days then.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Let's imagine the following
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: A gaian patrol undocks from a Samura station and attacks a Gateway convoy in Kusari space.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: What happens next?
<G>Black.Pearl: Well, first thing we would do is to throw those pilots out of an airlock.
<G>Black.Pearl: After that, I guess that we would have a slight political drama.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Slight?
<G>Black.Pearl: For us slight, for you major.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Correct...
<G>Black.Pearl: However, that's why we want to use Hogosha as a cover.
<G>Black.Pearl: We'll operate from Hogosha's and Alliance's bases.
<G>Black.Pearl: I hope that this wouldn't cause much trouble for you.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: The best I can do is put a good word for your organization... as a Samura rep.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Of course, you will have to talk directly to them.
<G>Black.Pearl: We will.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Say... wouldn't you be interested in expanding your operations and maybe adding a Kusari branch?
<G>Black.Pearl: Well, you've got my attention.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: There are a few problems concerning nature in Kusari as well.
<G>Black.Pearl: *sips wine*
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Mostly caused by Kishiro and GMG...
<G>Black.Pearl: What are those problems?
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Terraforming projects, forests cut in order to make room for production facilities, gas mining... stuff like that.
<G>Black.Pearl: *sighs*
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: You'll find out about them if you manage to deal with Hogosha.
<G>Black.Pearl: While this is disturbing news, I'm afraid that we can't do anything with it without risking our legal status within Kusari.
<G>Black.Pearl: And we do not want this to happen.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Of course...
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Now, eh, you need us to contact Hogosha and put a good word, right?
<G>Black.Pearl: That would be appreciated.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: That's all?
<G>Black.Pearl: I still need to know if you agree.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: I can tell you what I agree with.
<G>Black.Pearl: I'm listening.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: I agree that you have the greenest eyes I've ever seen... and Gods, I'm loosing myself in them.
<G>Black.Pearl: *she looks at Tekkan suspiciously*
<G>Black.Pearl: Uhm...
<G>Black.Pearl: Thank you.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Now, don't get me wrong, the rest of you is a really nice view...
<G>Black.Pearl: *blushes slightly*
<G>Black.Pearl: I'll take it as compliment.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: So, my dear, if you'll ever want to leave the risky life of a fighter behind, I can offer you a very good life in here.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: That's exactly how you should take it.
<G>Black.Pearl: *coughs*
<G>Black.Pearl: I... I appreciate your offer.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Right... Katsumi! Flora-kun finished her wine. Bring more, please.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Now, you ask if I agree with gaians shooting GC and Dragons? Yes, I agree.
<G>Black.Pearl: Do you agree with us buying supplies and ships at your installations?
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Supplies, yes. Ships... let's see. Mostly we build transports and freighters for the civilian market.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Our military grade equipment goes directly to KNF and no, we won't sell any of those to anyone else.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: At most we can help you with repairs and maintenace if you somehow aquire such ships.
<G>Black.Pearl: I mean Irezumi and Black Dragon fighters. We are willing to aquire limited numbers of those after we'll solve incompatibility
<G>Black.Pearl: issues.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Those... We built them but we don't control the market concerning them. You'll have to ask Hogosha about that.
<G>Black.Pearl: Also, I assume that any kind of maintenance of our bigger combat vessels would be problematic. Am I right?
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: What bigger combat vessels you got?
<G>Black.Pearl: Gunboats and armored transports.
<G>Black.Pearl: We may be a small organisation, but we still have some bigger guns at our disposal.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Those would have to sit in a dry dock... a visible dry dock. Not happening.
<G>Black.Pearl: I understand...
<G>Black.Pearl: Well, there's still one thing that I'd like to talk about.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: However if you manage to get access to a facility, we'd be able to send our men to help you repairing.
<G>Black.Pearl: Would there be any chances for us to get advanced equipment at kusarian market?
<G>Black.Pearl: I mean heavy armor mostly.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: *Katsumi appears again with another bottle of wine. Tekkan takes the bottle and fills the glasses, then he drinks his*
<G>Black.Pearl: Also blueprints of various ship subsystems to improve our own desings.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: I'm affraid you'll have to earn your access to those.
<G>Black.Pearl: I see...
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: For now, you haven't offered anything.
<G>Black.Pearl: I didn't?
<G>Black.Pearl: Aside from our armed support, we do have some funds to pay for those.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Except the viewing of your nice body and the bonus eyes, you promised some Chrysanthemums heads... I'd like to see some of...
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: ...those
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: And then, we might take our deals to the next level.
<G>Black.Pearl: Sounds reasonable.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: You know... there is a way around that.
<G>Black.Pearl: Hm?
<G>Black.Pearl: *sips wine*
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: If you'll spend a few days here, with me, we will resume our business talks next week and see what's with those armors.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: *refills Flora's glass*
<G>Black.Pearl: *smiles slightly*
<G>Black.Pearl: I'm sorry, but I have my duties back in Bretonia.
<G>Black.Pearl: I cannot afford such long absence.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Ah... that's such a shame, I could have shown you Kyushu.
<G>Black.Pearl: However, I'll consirder it when I'll have some free time.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: *empties another glass of wine*
<G>Black.Pearl: *takes a sip*
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Good, good...
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: One more thing... there will be no problems for Samura transports in Bretonia, right?
<G>Black.Pearl: Of course.
<G>Black.Pearl: Our attacks on your convoys would be kind of counterproductive.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Perfect...
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Alright so... now I will have to contact Hogosha and tell themabout you...
<G>Black.Pearl: And I'll have to discuss the details with them.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: One more thing. I want to know if you still have political representation in Bretonia.
<G>Black.Pearl: Yes, we do.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: The Green Front Party still exists?
<G>Black.Pearl: Indeed.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Good to know. We might have a job for them.
<G>Black.Pearl: A job?
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Hai, I want to extend the invitation I gave you to organize a similar group with Kusari roots.
<G>Black.Pearl: Well, those are a very long term goals.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Hahaha, that's the only way I plan.
<G>Black.Pearl: I'll see what can be done.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Thank you.
<G>Black.Pearl: You're welcome. This would benefit both of us after all.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: *refills both glasses and raises his* To a good colaboration!
<G>Black.Pearl: *raises her glass*
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: *he empties his* This wine is too soft for my taste. Katsumi, sake!
<G>Black.Pearl: *slowly drinks her wine* I find it to be perfect.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: So, I guess we're done talking business. Can I invite you to a night club, back on civilized Kyushu continents?
<G>Black.Pearl: Uhm... Sure. I'm not going to fly after all this wine.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Or we could stay here. The view from the other room is... actually, let me show you.
<G>Black.Pearl: *follows Tekkan*
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: *he takes her to his bedroom. there he presses a button on his watch and an entire wall becomes transparent*
<G>Black.Pearl: * she sighs*
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: *The view was amazing. Small islands covered in ice, with waves smashing on them*
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: *You could even see some sort of animals playing on those icy islands and in the water*
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: *The sheets on the bed were white, giving the look of a very tidy place.*
<G>Black.Pearl: *she watches the animals with a fascination*
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: This is one of the many Samura vacation locations.
<G>Black.Pearl: It's beautiful.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: I like to come here fromtimeto time but I'm busy... you like those? They'resome sort of seals...
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: I once tried to get near them but the buggers are really aggressive.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: So... what is it? Clubbing all night long or nature trip till evening and then we come back here?
<G>Black.Pearl: *she looks at the snowy islands* Honestly, I think that clubbing isn;t going to freeze us to death, unlike this weather.
<G>Black.Pearl: But if you have something warm enough to wear, I'll be more than happy to go sightseeing.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Katsumi! Bring the lady something to wear outside.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: There should be something... this place is filled with supplies for any Samura employee.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: We have snowmechs for transportation on the islands and a boat in the small harbor down there.
<G>Black.Pearl: *she looks at Tekkan* Snowmechs? I don't have any idea what it is but sounds like fun.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Oh... I didn't tell you. This place is natural reservation. No ships are allowed to fly here, except the one that took us here.
<G>Black.Pearl: *she looks at the islands and smiles* Good to hear. At least here in Kusari people think about it.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: The snowmech is a vehicle... have you ever ride a horse?
<G>Black.Pearl: No, I didn't had this pleasure.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: *Katsumi enters the room with a wool made suit and a few clothes. She leaves them on the bed*
<G>Black.Pearl: *Flora discretly glances at Katsumi and looks at the clothes*
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: You see that leotard? It may seem flimsy but it's good. Take that and then the coat and you should be alright.
<G>Black.Pearl: Well, they look warm enough.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Katsumi, we'll be back in 3 or 4 hours. Inform the guards and take the rest of the day off.
Samura|-Tekkan.Okura: Let's go, Flora.
<G>Black.Pearl: Right behind you.
Oh and a little note. It appears that those Junker Marauders are becoming a major problem. I think they're spying our docking sequences. Every time one of my ships takes off, those scums appear. Every time! And they're pirating... Just now, when I was welcoming my guest, two of them appeared in front of Kyushu's docking rings polluting the comm channels with their trash talk.
Arigato,
Tekkan Okura
