Ally,
I have heard from the Gen'an cell that an altercation took place in Shikoku and then escalated into outright hostility in Kyushu. By consequence, this puts us in a tricky situation, with both parties to the dispute being long-standing allies and each of an irreplaceable value to the cause. I intend to mediate and bring forth a resolution to this dispute, I do not intend to favor one side over the other.
Without any inherent bias, the immediate attitude of the Order's forces in Shikoku at once appears belligerent and provocative. I understand that the Order might not have the most favorable of relations with the Outcasts, neither do we. But it is nonetheless necessary for us to respect the diplomatic choices of such a pivotal ally, so long as reasonable limitations are imposed. Though we would engage the Coalition in direct hostility if we were to find them in Kusari, we would not assault our brethren masquerading as a Shogunate for believing them to be friends. That much is respect.
The incident is without precedent, and it is compounded with concern when it appears to be an active attempt at provoking hostility where there have been none. I have immense respect for all that you have done at our side in the most trying of times, but you simply must understand that the Chrysanthemums were the first to actively support our cause, going so far as sheltering our forces when we lacked the infrastructure necessary to make deployments in the core Kusari systems.
I ask, with the utmost of humility, for you to simply agree to meet any future hostility with forbearance. Do not perpetuate hostility and do not actively provoke the Chrysanthemums. We will see to it that your access to Kusari remains unhindered, but also understand that pride and aggressive rhetoric aimed at forcing the Gen'an into submission will not produce any substantial results. And if hostilities continue to escalate, I am bound by oath to preserve the Chrysanthemum cause by any means necessary.
Please don't bring us to that point.

What is this primary cell you mentioned? The one who left us to die in Shikoku when the navy attacked us or the one who tried to dishonor the sacred festival of lady Matsuda?
There is no such thing as primary cell. There are the Golden Chrysanthemums who bravely fought alongside us and the cowards who looked away. In my opinion, they are not even GC. The title GC is something that is earned, not taken.
You are right, we will be out for the Enclave's blood and that of the IMG.
Just make sure you won't be on the list aswell.

[01.11.2019 01:21:30] Order|Linnea.Holt: Assisting fellow agent.It is only through OHC’s patience and initial unwillingness to give into so called Matriarch’s bloodlust that we did not enter into war against Gen’aan over a month ago. Respect is a two-way street, so our rhetoric towards Genaan individuals only mirrors the death threats we had received from them. In my opinion it was only matter of time until we landed on Genaan’s “list”. If they are unable to stomach the same medicine they are serving to everyone they insist on disrespecting, Genaan’s own leadership has issues that will not be solved by a diplomatic exchange or two.
I do not know what kind of lies this mad woman had whispered into your ear, but evidence is on our side. Gen’aan initiated hostilities first and our agents had performed in self-defense all along and continue to do so on increased alert within Kusari until further notice. You may further contact Agent Linnea Holt who was abandoned by Genaan in a combat against a common enemy: despicable Bounty Hunter’s Guild. Only Shogunate forces backed us up that day.
They disrespected Shogunate by using ships of Dragon own making against their allies, something that went against the agreement between the two groups. They failed to show the slightest level of common courtesy to our soldiers and HC alike and abandoned us in combat. They further denounced their own Sisters, though I wonder how long this familiar connection will last.

Admiral,
It is not unsurprising that an entire cell of the Chrysanthemum movement does not seem all that interested in contact with foreign organisations besides those that they have already established a relationship with. You are still a fresh face with them, and if you would forgive this assessment you can be quite a controlling individual. It certainly does not help that you constantly assert one collection of the Chrysanthemums as primary, which effectively subordinates the other movements.
I do not mean to tell you how to do your job, Admiral. But there is a reason your predecessors all decided to work through us in Kusari, rather than involve themselves directly and risk political entrenchment. This is why. As for the misuse of Dragon technology, I believe you know our opinion on this already. We do not recognize the Shogunate.
I've received their side of evidence as well as yours, and one of the immediately observable distinctions is that your evidence lacks the logs of the encounter preceding the physical engagement, wherein one of your operatives deemed it fit to address the sisters quite lowly. Ultimately, it matters quite little where the first shots were fired from, the fact shots have actively been exchanged is a problem of critical magnitude.
To have risen to such a position in an organization as prestigious as yours is clear enough indicator that you are capable and wise. Believing such to be the case, I'm sure you must know that it is incredibly risky to be acting with such motivated political intent. The Gen'an will always interpret that as a threat by an outsider. Interventionism is always a risky prospect, even moreso when you appear to be taking sides in what might be a conventional power struggle. The Order has historically not concerned itself with the internal complications of any House-based organization. Not even ours. Otherwise I am sure an attempt at preservation of what we truly were would have been made instead of inaction.
This is not a fight worth having, Admiral. There is no right and wrong to be interpreted from the picture being painted. All it accomplishes is undermining our collective strength against mutual threats, and for reasons both tactical and otherwise this is most undesirable. Please allow me to function as a mediator and bring about a peaceful end to this, I have no intention of making either you or the sisters compromise on your respective missions but some degree of humility must be exercised by both parties to achieve this.
If you would instead trust in violence and deem the only proper course of action as retribution, then I would be forced to act in defense of the cell and as would all the others rallied under this banner. It would become a conflict that neither of us want and one wherein regardless of outcome everyone would lose.
I always heard of the Order fondly, both in stories and recollections from brethren. I want it to remain that way.

Gen'an
I believe I can shed some light on the preceding exchange of words before the Gen'an opened fire on us. As you said, one of our operatives addressed the Gen'an in a quite provocative way. Whilst I personally wouldn't consider words to be something worth shooting someone over, the Gen'an obviously did.
The words in partical were uttered because a day prior, I myself was in New Tokyo after having chased down and destroyed a infected patrol in the region. A bounty hunter approached and decided to open fire on my vessel, whilst I was already low on supplies and was clearly not going to win this fight. Instead of assisting me with facing a common threat, which was the Bounty Hunter, the Gen'an pilot opted to stay on the sidelines and 'watch the show' and uttering some snarky comments, going as far as to offer cardamine to a Kempeitai pilot in orbit of Planet New Tokyo. I am thankful for the backup from the Dragon, however, but I heard afterwards that the Bounty Hunter managed to destroy her vessel aswell, again with no backup from the Gen'an, which fled the field afterwards.
In light of this, after having made an internal report, this agent of ours lost his composure and uttered a insult upon passing by a transport. Tell me, if someone uttered an insult towards you, would you also call for a flight of fighters to hunt them down and destroy them over simple words? I know honor accounts for much in Kusarian culture, but to shoot people over words is a overreaction of incredible magnitude. And as I myself was shot down by these Gen'an's, I stand by Golanski's decision to engage in hostilities with them. I would be open for a resolution, but before that happens I want these sniffers to bow deeply and apologise, and admitting their wrongs. Untill they do this I see no reason to call off our current state of affairs.

Admiral Holt,
While I understand that patience is a virtue far more important than any misguided semblance of honor, I must confess that I have not been an example of such behavior. I can clearly recollect almost killing a Unioner for wandering into our space and making continuous culture-based mockery, almost as if he was baiting to be killed. Perhaps the only reason I didn't oblige him was because his crew didn't deserve to die for his individually loose tongue.
Regarding this apparent incident you seem intent on using to justify current aggression, I must ask why a vaunted organization such as the Order is simply letting Admirals not only fly alone, but in a House that actively outlaws you and pays quite highly for confirmed kills? A deployment of such a valuable officer should only occur with ample security, and if we were to begin slinging mud at the Gen'an for choosing to not interpose, we would also have to do so with the other sections of the Chrysanthemum movement for not even being present to so much as bear witness.
The act of venturing out into territory constantly monitored by hostile patrols, given the material fact of New Tokyo being Kusari's capital, is akin to an invitation to be hunted. This individual's negligence to assist you in light of your own errors hardly acts as a justification to treat the entirety of the organization as unworthy of any common decency. It becomes marginally hypocritical when a clear lack of common-sense is being exercised.
And you want them to bow? To humble themselves before you? Admiral Holt, I do not know you, but I would have hoped you to be wiser and more aware of our history with tyranny and the price we have paid to not be crushed under its heel. The practice of ingesting cardamine is morally reprehensible, but they are still our people and they still come under our protection.
Nonetheless, if you are adamant on receiving an apology despite the mistakes made by both parties to dispute, I can attempt to arrange for such a submission. Contingent on of course a reciprocal apology from the side of the Order. It will serve as a mutual gesture of good-will and humility, but I will caution you on lowering yourself to the verge of using such proud rhetoric as "bowing deeply" - that much is not something any of us will appreciate.
May I ask you to consider this?
