Le house of Kusari is a plump wallet bursting at the seams. Felix and moi lightened it a tad bit yesterday. To our sadness, three remarkably large trade ships could not be taxed appropriately, the sturdy hull of super transports sadly whithstood our gunfire for a few seconds too long. On the bright side, the owners of these vessels will certainly emit cries of dismay upon taking a look at the repair bill of their monstrous ships. But how did I commence, let us put aside the less successful events....
It truly is a strange feeling when you stumble upon people who claim to know you, whereas yourself have no clue of who this individual may be. It appears the memories of my countless visits in the home system of les Malteses are blurred. Whatever, at Tsushima Depot in Kyushu we met a trader claiming to be part of the "Warriors of Light" of the Malteses. The following monetary transaction is based on the trader ship captain's own free will. Neither Felix or I have forced him to make a donation of such an amount. It might be appropriate that the Legion shows some generosity as well once we pay a visit to Malta again.
Later on we met several traders in both Kyushu and New Tokyo, all of them either taxed or otherwise shrinked in their possessions.
After the limited fuel tanks of our swift Cuirassiers were almost empty, Felix et moi returned back to our suites on Java.
