Kon'nichiwa, Representative, honourable Daimyos,

During a routine flight back to Okinawa from the Shikoku, i have encountered quite of a surprising view - a Rogue Destroyer resting near the anomaly to our Home. On beings questioned it's captain claimed to be Lady Amber Lane - formerly a person of power among the Liberty Rogues that had relatively strong ties with The Blood Dragons once in the past and provided a wide variety of supplies avaliable to the leaders of Sirian Black Market residing in Liberty, known to be a bustling center of commerce.
As Lady Amber seeks to retain her former title and restore the supplies coming in to our installations, she was seeking an opportunity to approach The Shogunate with this matter.
On her behalf i am hereby asking you to extend the clearance for the vessels of her logistic division starting from the moment you reply to this approach and until there will be a strong excuse to retain this franchise from Lady Amber and her supporters.
The records of the Neural Net logs will follow to confirm her clear intentions.

[28.03.2018 08:25:02] BD|Sakurai.Augus: Kon'nichiwa.
[28.03.2018 08:25:35] Drunken.Badger: Amber: You were quite impolite.
[28.03.2018 08:26:11] BD|Sakurai.Augus: Excuse me for the inconvenience provided earlier.
[28.03.2018 08:26:29] Drunken.Badger: Amber: Excuse accepted.
[28.03.2018 08:26:54] BD|Sakurai.Augus: Good.
[28.03.2018 08:27:07] Drunken.Badger: Amber: Of course I haven't suddenly appeared here without reason.
[28.03.2018 08:27:11] BD|Sakurai.Augus: What brings you so far from home, if i may ask?
[28.03.2018 08:27:36] Drunken.Badger: Amber: I have been lookin' for Dragons and apparently I've found one.
[28.03.2018 08:27:48] BD|Sakurai.Augus: You have found one, indeed.
[28.03.2018 08:28:04] BD|Sakurai.Augus: Care for a small introduction before we get to business?
[28.03.2018 08:28:52] Drunken.Badger: Amber: I am Amber Lane, once a great Warlady of the Rogues. Now a simple Rogue trying to gain her power again.
[28.03.2018 08:29:27] BD|Sakurai.Augus: My name is Sakurai Augus, i represent the Augus Clan as it's current Daimyo.
[28.03.2018 08:29:50] BD|Sakurai.Augus: A pleasure to make your acquitance, Amber-san.
[28.03.2018 08:30:32] Drunken.Badger: Amber: Even now I don't get your hierarchy, but I guess Augus clan has something to do with Hideyoshi, true?
[28.03.2018 08:31:08] BD|Sakurai.Augus: Sort of. Hideyoshi is a Shogun, a highest step in Dragons hierarchy.
[28.03.2018 08:31:31] BD|Sakurai.Augus: Daimyo is a Clan leader, middle step between the general Dragon and The Shogun.
[28.03.2018 08:32:00] Drunken.Badger: Amber: Seems reasonable.
[28.03.2018 08:32:24] BD|Sakurai.Augus: However, you have mentioned that you were looking for a Dragon for some reason.
[28.03.2018 08:32:27] BD|Sakurai.Augus: What would be it?
[28.03.2018 08:32:29] Drunken.Badger: Amber: As you apparently know, The Rogues are the leader of Sirian black market and we used to have something...
[28.03.2018 08:32:37] Drunken.Badger: Amber: To do with Dragons as well.
[28.03.2018 08:32:55] BD|Sakurai.Augus: Hai. I am pretty much aware of that.
[28.03.2018 08:33:23] Drunken.Badger: Amber: We used to ship some armanents and food to Dragon bases and I am curious if Dragons would once again...
[28.03.2018 08:33:38] Drunken.Badger: Amber: Allow my transports to supply and back your cause.
[28.03.2018 08:34:13] BD|Sakurai.Augus: While i can not speak on the behalf of The Shogunate as a whole - i will speak on behalf on my Clan.
[28.03.2018 08:34:15] Drunken.Badger: Amber: As I am trying to rebuild my reputation among Rogues, I will need some friends if my old squad decides to pop up
[28.03.2018 08:34:19] Drunken.Badger: Amber: Again.
[28.03.2018 08:34:27] BD|Sakurai.Augus: We will gladly accept your support.
[28.03.2018 08:34:53] BD|Sakurai.Augus: To extend the sign of good will presented - i will forward your offer to The Shogunate.
[28.03.2018 08:35:05] Drunken.Badger: Amber: That would be great, Dragon.
[28.03.2018 08:35:07] BD|Sakurai.Augus: I doubt they would turn you down.
[28.03.2018 08:35:20] BD|Sakurai.Augus: It will be done, then.
[28.03.2018 08:35:37] BD|Sakurai.Augus: We are always opened for establishing new ties and gaining new trustworthy allies.
[28.03.2018 08:35:39] Drunken.Badger: Amber: And as a sign of my good will accept these pilots I managed to save from a dumb Xeno boat.
[28.03.2018 08:37:11] BD|Sakurai.Augus: I am grateful for this sign, Amber-san.
[28.03.2018 08:37:15] Drunken.Badger: Amber: Here they go as I have no use for them.
[28.03.2018 08:37:43] Drunken.Badger: Amber: Well before I depart to yet another part of Sirius. I would love to know which bases I am allowed to supply.
[28.03.2018 08:37:44] BD|Sakurai.Augus: Your approach will be forwarder to The Shogunate as soon as i land at our Home.
[28.03.2018 08:38:54] BD|Sakurai.Augus: Hm. I can only give you clearance to moor your transports at Sendai and the recent addition to it.
[28.03.2018 08:39:17] BD|Sakurai.Augus: As it would use the supply of armaments for the construction of future defence modules.
[28.03.2018 08:39:34] Death: Bellepheron suffered a self-inflicted catastrophic decompression.
[28.03.2018 08:39:45] BD|Sakurai.Augus: After The Shogunate will receive your approach - i am pretty sure the clearance will be extended to the other bases as well.
[28.03.2018 08:40:09] Drunken.Badger: Amber: Sendai is in Okinawa, if I remeber correctly?
[28.03.2018 08:40:27] BD|Sakurai.Augus: Hai. That is correct.
[28.03.2018 08:41:01] Tip: Exploration often is very rewarding. The game world has randomized, hidden bases that do not otherwise show up on your map. Find them and everything inside is yours to claim.
[28.03.2018 08:41:10] Drunken.Badger: Amber: That's great... I will have to go and survey possible accesses to Okinawa system. As I do so with my Cruiser.
[28.03.2018 08:41:59] BD|Sakurai.Augus: Let us proceed, then. However, i would recommend not to approach The Bulwark yet, considering it's automated defence setup.
[28.03.2018 08:42:32] Drunken.Badger: Amber: I am aware of that.
[28.03.2018 08:43:25] BD|Sakurai.Augus: Grid square 4  Foxtrot is our destination.
[28.03.2018 08:43:47] Drunken.Badger: Amber: Course set.
[28.03.2018 08:44:41] BD|Sakurai.Augus: We are passing The Kyoto. Tread with utmost respect, Amber-san.
[28.03.2018 08:45:04] Drunken.Badger: Amber: One of the stations we used to supply by Blood Diamonds.
[28.03.2018 08:45:08] Drunken.Badger: Amber: Fun times.
[28.03.2018 08:46:51] BD|Sakurai.Augus: Sector 5-Alpha is our next destination.
[28.03.2018 08:47:15] Drunken.Badger: Amber: Aye.
[28.03.2018 08:47:28] BD|Sakurai.Augus: Tread carefully in the system The darkness of The Arc is still present out there.
[28.03.2018 08:47:50] Drunken.Badger: Amber: That Arc we've heard rumors about?
[28.03.2018 08:48:06] Drunken.Badger: Amber: Impressive.
[28.03.2018 08:48:08] BD|Sakurai.Augus: Hai. Tekagis' Arc. Also known as Heaven's Gate.
[28.03.2018 08:48:48] BD|Sakurai.Augus: Grid square 1-Epsilon.
[28.03.2018 08:50:02] BD|Sakurai.Augus: Give me a moment to fix the defence grid..
[28.03.2018 08:51:18] Drunken.Badger: Amber: Seems to be alright.
[28.03.2018 08:51:39] BD|Sakurai.Augus: May i ask if you have the access to the Armaments necessary for the construction of the defence modules?
[28.03.2018 08:52:12] Drunken.Badger: Amber: I would have to look more closely. But I guess Ainu should provide me with necessary stuff.
[28.03.2018 08:54:02] Drunken.Badger: Amber: I guess entrance to your base is allowed on the friendly list basis, right?
[28.03.2018 08:54:30] BD|Sakurai.Augus: Hai. So i will need the exact list of callsigns to provide them with the docking clearance.
[28.03.2018 08:54:58] Drunken.Badger: Amber: For now it's gonna be just "Legit.Source.of.Income" name.
[28.03.2018 08:55:23] BD|Sakurai.Augus: I will arrange the docking rights immediately.
[28.03.2018 08:56:00] BD|Sakurai.Augus: Done.
[28.03.2018 08:56:06] BD|Sakurai.Augus: Should be just fine now.
[28.03.2018 08:56:11] Drunken.Badger: Amber: Awesome, thank you.
[28.03.2018 08:57:53] BD|Sakurai.Augus: Is there anything else you would like to discuss?
[28.03.2018 08:58:30] Drunken.Badger: Amber: I don't think so right now.
[28.03.2018 08:58:52] Drunken.Badger: Amber: I will have to visit other parties soon, but for now I would stay on Sendai, if you wouldn't mind it.
[28.03.2018 09:00:10] BD|Sakurai.Augus: Unless you're going to sell it's location to Naval Forces - i don't mind.
[28.03.2018 09:00:30] BD|Sakurai.Augus: I sincerely hope you don't.
[28.03.2018 09:00:31] Drunken.Badger: Amber: There would be no gain for somebody like me.
[28.03.2018 09:00:41] Drunken.Badger: Amber: Just a loss of yet another business partner.
[28.03.2018 09:01:02] BD|Sakurai.Augus: Then you are welcome to stay at Sendai as long as you deem it necessary.
[28.03.2018 09:01:09] BD|Sakurai.Augus: I will notify the personel.
[28.03.2018 09:01:33] Drunken.Badger: Amber: Thank you. And I would prefer if your people wouldn't dare to touch my technology.
[28.03.2018 09:01:39] BD|Sakurai.Augus: Now, i have some paperwork to attend. Sayonara, Amber-san.
[28.03.2018 09:01:41] Death: DJESS. was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[28.03.2018 09:01:54] Drunken.Badger: Amber: I get it's an unusual sight, but I prefer it that way.
[28.03.2018 09:02:02] BD|Sakurai.Augus: They are eager when it comes to new tech, but they know their limits.
[28.03.2018 09:02:05] BD|Sakurai.Augus: So worry not.
[28.03.2018 09:02:15] Drunken.Badger: Amber: Alright. See you soon.

Konnichiwa Daimyo,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention however there are a few issues with your request. First and foremost an unauthorised capital ship within one of our territories, I have ordered a Togo class vessel to be mobilised to the area in case such an event happens again. The citizens of Kusari need to know we will not allow forces that may threaten them into our sovereign space.

With that said, we will allow logistical vessels and non capital escorts access through the system in order to supply Blood Dragon and allied bases only. Provided they abide by Blood Dragon law within our space, Any attempt to smuggle or harm civilian vessels will be considered an act of war against the Kijima Clan and will be responded to as such.

Valued Daimyo Augus,

In light of recent events, and in light of the Rogues' reputation, I find myself reluctant to tolerate them. Their affinity for common banditry, and quite honestly, their distasteful disregard for anything other than illicit profit, makes them an undesirable presence at best. I will, as such, have to deny them access to the facilities of Hikone; Although realistically, I don't presume they would even travel that far. I would advise, but no further coerce, that you take my stance into consideration and not place much trust in these foreign bandits.

This is my input on the matter. I will hold to it, unless the Shogunate decides otherwise.
