Good evening associates, Hebishima here.
In the past days I have made a visit to the esteemed neighbours of the south border, the Lane Hackers, and met with one of their representatives, Mr. Yoshida. I believe he has quite a name amongst many of the Hogosha, due to his most frequent interest and contact with our kind.
I went to their nearest hideout and we have discussed some matters of politics and trade, and I believe we have some agreements that can be worked with from now on.
The Hackers were most concerned with the recent developments in Kusari, and to my surprise, Mr. Yoshida advocated an appeasement and collaboration with the Imperial movement. An odd choice, considering their more long-standing relation with the Golden Chrysanthemums, but I guess they are gonna play both sides to press on the current regime.
They requested us, or just me, to make negotiations with the Exiles on their behalf, and arrange a... non aggression pact between them. That in itself gives us no harm or good in itself, but I made sure to correct that situation.
I have negotiated with Mr. Yoshida an increase of our share in their arms smuggling business in Kusari, in exchange for our efforts with the exiles. About 70% of their Kusari arms and munitions trade will be directed to us, once we have the exile agreement signed.
I've also made a compromise to increase our h-fuel smuggling to them. It is justifiable, since they are paying well for it.
A secured supply from the Hackers, combined with our efforts in rheinland shipping, would give us a majority in the underworld arms trade in Kusari. We would just have to deal with the competition that would remain from the other libertonians.
The Takarabune remains committed to the expansion and development of the Association, and would like to see the other syndicates and Associations double our efforts through their own means, for a safer Kusari.
May the Fortunes grant us all fair winds and safe travels.
