Konnichiwa,
I bring you troubling news, although I seem rather confused by it. Either your diplomatic table on the diplomatic screen of the Kusari is out of date...as it says you are friendly with the Back Dragon Society, yet I am watching they preying on helpless people, demanding for money and/or cargo for their lives. I was recently approached by one of them, of course, as I was trying to deliver goods to gather credits in towards of funding for one of my associates friends, to assist him in purchasing a Kusari Explorer Gunboat, I believe his name is Daniel Maxwell and his friend goes by the name Jayster, nick name Gunslinger I believe.
Either way I'm sidetracking, while I have been in the works of gathering credits, as kind as I am since I am allowing the man to have my credits and does not need to repay me, I just like to help. I also bring Kusari goods of Super Alloy to their Yukawa Shipyard and I have been doing that for a long while now. I also hope to get a Train that holds a cargo capacity of Five Thousand Units, but I can not yet, and also keep getting side tracked in assisting those in need of credits for vessels.
At first I did not want to pay the fine of two million credits to them, because it cost me over two million credits to purchase the goods for the Kusari, but when they where so insisting on destroying my vessel, I immediately gave in to give them the two million credits. But before I could make the trade deal final, the pilot cancels the trade and returns to laying heavy assault on my freighter until it was simply but ashes. My crew and I were lucky enough to reach our shuttles and hurried back to the Honshu System.
Currently we now lack a freighter of bringing goods to the Kusari Empire, and so we attempted to return to a base we get the Super Alloy from, as we have stashed another freighter of our type, just in case of something such as this happens, so we used a Jump Hole instead of the Jump Gates, since the Black Dragon Society appear to be preying on the innocent at almost every Jump Gate in New Tokyo. And before we could even reach the Jump Gate to Kyushu, as the last time we did encounter these attackers they were at the Jump Gate to Honshu in New Tokyo, they were already at the Kyushu Jump Gate, preying on more innocent traders and pilots. So I ordered our shuttles to immediately retreat to a near by asteroid field where we now sit in fear of being assaulted once again.
Is there anything that the Kusari Navy can do to stop this? We really would like to return and continue our trade route in providing the Kusari Empire the Super Alloy. But we can not do it if these attackers keep preying on us and others! We wait humbly, and hopefully safely in our shuttles for your response.
Long Live the Emperor and may the Emperor live in Prosperity.
I know it has been some time, and I do see the route is safer so I can and have been continuing on my shipment of Super Alloy to Yukawa Shipyards. One thing I kinda hoped for, was a response at least so I knew if something was to be done or not. But no matter, I will continue shipping Super Alloy for the Kusari Empire.
Until we speak again, May the Emperor Live Long and in Prosperity.
Captain Jackson I am sure that if you file a report containing evidence to the Kusari state police; the matter will be handled accordingly. It is rare that we encounter a rogue Hogosha pilot; especially one faking their transponder codes: but it does occasionally happen. When such an anomaly occurs it is usually dealt with fairly and efficiently by the state police; which is why I have given them this frequency. I am sorry that you had bad luck on this occasion; coincidentally I have been recalled to the capital and will be keeping an eye out and assisting enforcement in the area.
May the Emperors luck grace you,
Takahashi out.
Today I got your message, it seems to be that is was send a little time ago.
Herefor I have to excuse us but as you maybe understand we have a lot of paperwork to do.
Do not think that the KSP is not listening to the problems of traders/miners who are visiting Kusari.
This case is really consurning us and therefor I am chosen by my CEO to investigate this.
The first thing what we, as KSP can do, is a more frequently patrol in that area.
The second thing what we are going to do is to send a message of this incident to the "organisation" which attacked you.
Therefor I ask you if you have some evidence. Please be free to send it to us so we have some proof of it.
Of course we do believe you, but the "other side" will have the proof too so that they can undertake some actions against their own people (if they want to do that...)
Now it is time to wait and see what time will bring.
Still I hope that this message give you the convinience to continue with your work.
