Was stopped by two ladies sporting the IFF of the Golden Chrysanthemums in New Tokyo earlier today. Knowing that the organization has a reputation of piracy and various acts of terrorism I tried my best to play it cool. To my surprise they actually seemed quite reasonable and let me go with a condition. They told me to bring 10000 units of Superconductors to a battleship of theirs currently residing in Okinawa. I know that can be a very sensitive route but if I am stopped in Kusari I can just claim I am bringing the superconductors to Planet Muira... it should be a fairly simple route all things considered. As an added benefit they promised that any OSI vessel travelling through Kusari will not be harassed by their group for the next two months.

[19.07.2015 11:55:40] ~*~Nishi.A.Darche2: *is suddenly suspicious* Uh-huh...
[19.07.2015 11:56:08] ~*~Nishi.A.Darche2: *conversationally to Ran* ...So, since when did the Zoners start consorting with the Bretonians?
[19.07.2015 11:56:32] ~*~Ran.Takahashi: All I've heard is that they keep to themselves.. out in wherever.
[19.07.2015 11:56:37] OSI-Loki's.Pride: Loki: I wouldn't say consorting really...
[19.07.2015 11:57:02] ~*~Nishi.A.Darche2: Nishi: *Squints* Uh-huh. So what would you call it?
[19.07.2015 11:57:29] ~*~Nishi.A.Darche2: ...Helium Three is a fusion catalyst - you can make all sortsa' stuff out of that, reactors, bombs... you name it.
[19.07.2015 11:57:40] OSI-Loki's.Pride: Loki: I was on my way back down to Gran Canaria in Omega-49 and I sometimes help GMG
[19.07.2015 11:57:56] OSI-Loki's.Pride: with their shipments if I am on this side of Sirius
[19.07.2015 11:58:09] ~*~Nishi.A.Darche2: *grins, thinking back over the last fourty eight hours* Uh-huh, and you work for who, exactly@?
[19.07.2015 11:58:17] ~*~Nishi.A.Darche2: -exactly?-
[19.07.2015 11:58:49] OSI-Loki's.Pride: Loki: OSI
[19.07.2015 11:58:54] ~*~Nishi.A.Darche2: Ma' apologies my man, but it's not like you're IFF codes are all that renowned up here, y'know, in the core systems.
[19.07.2015 12:00:58] ~*~Nishi.A.Darche2: *on an open channel* Uh-huh, yeah, you're story checks out - say, brother - who mined you that helium three?
[19.07.2015 12:01:24] ~*~Nishi.A.Darche2: ...I don't suppose it just materialised in your cargo bay, pre-packed and compressed, huh?
[19.07.2015 12:01:40] OSI-Loki's.Pride: Loki: The Gas Miner's Guild I would assume, bought it on Shuri Base.
[19.07.2015 12:02:53] ~*~Nishi.A.Darche2: *on an open channel* uh-huh. Do you have any documentation
[19.07.2015 12:03:06] ~*~Nishi.A.Darche2: ...for your purchase, Pride?
[19.07.2015 12:03:25] ~*~Nishi.A.Darche2: ...Photographic evidence would do swell. *grins*
[19.07.2015 12:03:56] OSI-Loki's.Pride: Loki: Honestly no, never had need to provide proof of purchase before so didn't think to get any
[19.07.2015 12:04:10] ~*~Ran.Takahashi: How about something that would prove you're truly heading to Bretonia?
[19.07.2015 12:05:00] OSI-Loki's.Pride: Loki: Umm, not sure how to prove it till after the fact unless you wanted to follow me or something...
[19.07.2015 12:06:41] ~*~Ran.Takahashi: Now then..
[19.07.2015 12:06:58] ~*~Nishi.A.Darche2: *grins*
[19.07.2015 12:07:07] ~*~Ran.Takahashi: If we ever find out that you're lying.. in any way here.
[19.07.2015 12:07:09] ~*~Nishi.A.Darche2: *to Ran* ah' don't like his credentials, sis.
[19.07.2015 12:07:35] ~*~Nishi.A.Darche2: ...*nonecommitally* Yesterday Munen and mah'self stopped another zoner with a cloaking device.
[19.07.2015 12:07:37] ~*~Ran.Takahashi: *secure* There's no way to confirm that he's not actually being truthfull.
[19.07.2015 12:07:58] ~*~Nishi.A.Darche2: ...some sort of diffactor shield - completely invisible to EM.
[19.07.2015 12:09:01] ~*~Nishi.A.Darche2: *to the Zoner* so, Zoner - why come through here specifically?
[19.07.2015 12:09:26] ~*~Nishi.A.Darche2: ...Why infiltrate house space if your destination lies in the edge worlds?
[19.07.2015 12:10:11] [FL]-Drayman-001: to all ships, hostile ships located near Honshu jump gate, recommend alternate route
[19.07.2015 12:10:22] OSI-Loki's.Pride: Loki: Just cause prefer to live outside of house space doesn't mean we don't mind using it as a shortcut
[19.07.2015 12:10:39] ~*~Ran.Takahashi: Alright Zoner, here's something we will offer.
[19.07.2015 12:10:46] OSI-Loki's.Pride: Loki: I actually fly through house space quite a bit
[19.07.2015 12:10:53] OSI-Loki's.Pride: Loki: I am listening
[19.07.2015 12:10:56] ~*~Nishi.A.Darche2: Nishi: *grins* to all Kusari collaborating A-hats in the system, ignore public broadcast scammers, kay'?
[19.07.2015 12:11:34] ~*~Ran.Takahashi: We will let you go, but only if you prove that you truly don't mean any ill will to us, or good will to our enemies.
[19.07.2015 12:11:49] ~*~Nishi.A.Darche2: *nods* Fact is Zoner, we can't prove if your story is true, or false.
[19.07.2015 12:11:59] ~*~Nishi.A.Darche2: ...There's no evidence in your favour, or out of it.
[19.07.2015 12:12:32] OSI-Loki's.Pride: Loki: How can I help ease your concerns? Anything you perhaps need shipped to one of your stations?
[19.07.2015 12:12:44] ~*~Nishi.A.Darche2: *smiles*
[19.07.2015 12:13:22] ~*~Nishi.A.Darche2: Ten thousand units of superconductors delivered to a certain Crysanthenum occupied battleship...
[19.07.2015 12:13:56] OSI-Loki's.Pride: Loki: What coordinates can this Battleship be found?
[19.07.2015 12:14:13] ~*~Nishi.A.Darche2: ...and OSI gains a certain, ah, freedom of liscence to operate in Kusari for the next two months.
[19.07.2015 12:14:50] ~*~Nishi.A.Darche2: Wiring coordinates*
[19.07.2015 12:15:57] OSI-Loki's.Pride: Loki: Ok got it, how can I get ahold of you all when it is done?
[19.07.2015 12:16:36] ~*~Nishi.A.Darche2: *grins* Just send a message addressed to "A certain Sister"
[19.07.2015 12:17:02] ~*~Nishi.A.Darche2: ...With proof of the delivery, and OSI will hear no more from us for the next eight weeks.
[19.07.2015 12:17:08] ~*~Nishi.A.Darche2: You have our vow, Zoner. *grins*
[19.07.2015 12:17:23] OSI-Loki's.Pride: Ok, I will try to get the shipments done soon. I guess that is all?
[19.07.2015 12:17:45] ~*~Nishi.A.Darche2: *Nods* confirmed. Enjoy yourself, Zoner.
[19.07.2015 12:17:54] ~*~Ran.Takahashi: Sayonara, Zoner!
[19.07.2015 12:18:04] OSI-Loki's.Pride: Loki: It's been a pleasure, safe flights
[19.07.2015 12:18:07] ~*~Nishi.A.Darche2: Safe travels and I sincerely hope your cargo reaches its intended port of call. *grins*
