Shogun Noboru inspected the pad with some unease, weighing it from one hand to the other.
When the other men finished speaking, he stood up, handing the pad back to the Captain.
"It's not very revealing though, is it?"
He cleared his throat.
"Now listen to me, and listen to me well. Tohoku is not Omicron Minor. It is a very dangerous system, and I do not care what kind of a mythical creature you have guarding planet Toledo, but the fight in Tohoku, should it come to it, will have to be carried out in open space. Our base in Tohoku is not to be compromised at any costs."
"Our warriors are wary of the threat and will come to your aid in most cases, however. Should you find yourself in need of a retreat, do not let the thought of doing so in the direction of Ryuku base even enter the back of your head."
"Ryuku base has some other limitations as well. It cannot host capital ships. It's simply not big enough and a capital ship moored to it would make it much easier to detect as well."
"These are my terms, Captain. I do hope you can keep your men in check, as our future dealings with your organisation depend on it."
