[color=#FFCC33]Buenos dias senoritas,
As I am sure you can tell by my accent, I am of Maltese origin. I have sent this transmission in the hope that you may permit me to execute your enemies, specifically the Colonial Republic and Kusari Naval Forces 'troops', though they are hardly soldiers.
[color=#CC9933]Now, I understand that you have certain conditions on which ships those you pay must pilot, but I hope you find my Tridente meets your restrictions, and if not, I'd be very grateful if an exception could be made.
I only ask this as I am, well, most efficient, in my Tridente, and have yet to lose it in combat, so I feel that you would no doubt recognise that it is where I am best suited to destroying those who have displeased you.
If you can accept me, I don't believe it would take long for me to prove you made the right choice.
I await your answer with great anticipation, until then, adios senoritas.

You know... When I think about it, I notice one thing I was good in back when I still flew my Roc around random places, hitting on random transports, was bullying random idiots... And sometimes, only sometimes, it's good to use what you've learned over time but have decided to leave it behind for whatever reason.
I ran into this BDS Black Dragon the other day, and decided to give him a taste of their own medicine... Cause that's pretty much all they do. They fly around the place and bully random idiots, and it was much like when they say "Hunter becomes hunted". All I did was to simply bully him into his escape pod and show him how hopeless and helpless they are when they run into something other than a defenseless transport...
Well... It didn't feel as good as I thought it would, more made me feel like I'm lowering myself to act as cheap as they do, but still... What's done is done, and what's done is worth 3,000,000 SC for now.
I do so love the Orchid. It is such a majestic craft... Able to stand toe to toe with even fighters on some occasions (Granted they do not flee like babies when their shields drop). The Orchid is truly a one-of-a-kind bomber.
I fancied a trip out to New Tokyo last night, just to see what was what. I was cruising merrily along when I happened upon a Piggy in a Roc. Strange, I know. Normally I see them all toting Black Dragons or Mamorus. Anyway... He thought it smart to toss a few insults my way, saying I was a "traitor" and what not. After some witty retorting on my part, I proceeded to shoot up his arse. Once I was done with him, some tiny little Kusari Police Saishi came along. I noticed it had some Dragon and Chrysanthemum pilots on person, thus I proceeded to ask the man for them back. When it was apparent that he would not cooperate, I thus opened fire on him. Although I thought the kill to be easy, his torpedoes suggested otherwise. I took a few of those to the face, but luckily none on my actual hull. A mine from your's truly devastated his ship, thus I scooped up the pilots and delivered them all back to Ainu.
I but wonder... Would it be at all possible to substitute this claim's credit amount with a Blossom of my own? I know that supplies for such craft are in... Well, short supply. However, I would be more than happy to ship any necessary parts for the construction of such a craft and then some. I know you ladies are always in need of materials for ship construction and maintenance, hence I offer to bring in an amount of anything you might need to Ainu. If however you would not like this, then perhaps you have a decommissioned Blossom that I could work my magic on? Either way would suit me fine, although I feel I could be of greater service should you decide upon the former idea.
Regardless of your answer, I shall enjoy to continue my service to the oppression-fighters of Kusari!
You have worked for us for a long time now, so I will treat you like one of our own. I can sadly not give you a new ship, but we have an older model in the docking bay 2 here at Ainu. It will need a lot of work to be as good as the current models, but our engineers will help you to get everything done. I wish you good luck with your new ship.
We are terribly sorry, but there we reasons that forced us to put the ship restrictions in place, those reasons are still valid. We can make no exceptions.
Wonderful news to mine ears, Elders! I shall be happy to assist the engineers with any tinkering and/or fixing with the Blossom you have awaiting me aboard Ainu Depot. Suppose I may have to carve out the cockpit area to make it large enough to fit me, as well as reinforce it with stronger materials in order to compensate for the lost armor thickness.
I do believe this should be more than enough to cover the costs of any foreseen and unforeseen obstacles in bringing the craft up to snuff.
The weaponry may be salvaged from the craft and placed upon one of your own fighters, as I shall not need Suncannons for this particular craft at this time. The weaponry to be placed upon the craft shall be supplied by myself; I have a rather... Interesting equipment setup that I am going to be implementing should certain other parties allow it.
When Naval Forces are stupid enough to come right to your doorstep - even if they hide behind their stationary battleship there -, they generally don't end well... This time wasn't an exception either.
I found a certain [KNF] attacking Dragon patrols near Chugoku jumphole, and chased him back to their battleship. Funny how their 'Honor' only is for the times they're safe... "Only honorable when safe" is pretty much the proven criteria of the Naval Forces for me during my time in Kusari. Unsurprisingly, another one of them arrived and this one was brave - or stupid, rather - enough not to hide behind their BS like the other one, and well... I bet he will next time.
What I like... Is when a target comes right to me and asks to be killed! This stupid Hogosha trader jumped into system right when I was next to the gate, and then thought insulting me would win him anything..!
Well, he had a hold full of Multiplexors, and I bet he was going to Gamma to feed those starving Corsairs, cause that's the only place I can think of where a Hogosha might take a hold of Multiplexors... To come back with Artifacts and sell them on black market, and you know rest of their dirty story better than me.
But there's no need to worry, cause I trashed his ship, his cargo and even his ego... And it was one of the easiest things I had done in months.
It means 1,500,000 SC on top of the last unpaid claim.
