A man of certain age appears on screen, making a gesture of greetings with both hands in front of him. He has kusarian features, but his clothes indicate that he may have lived abroad for a long time.

"While there are many in the Association that would be pleased with the downfall of the Gas Miners Guild, few see a way to achieve it, and even fewer would act upon it. I am Elder Brother Zhou, of the Hong Wu.

"I am a representative of the[color=#FF8C00] Hong Wu. Our movement is mostly composed of concerned kusarian citizens and inhabitants of the region of the Sigmas. Concerned by the state of repression and poor working conditions that the Gas Miners Guild enforces in their exploration sites, and the impunity that they receive in face of the laws and justice of Kusari.

The boldness of the GMG, combined with their "autonomy" and less than honest connections, have left the region open to the likes of outlaws and terrorists, the kind that you faced recently. Virtually all of the scourges that roam our galaxy do so with impunity in the Guild space, and the Guild even uses some to harass those who they see as less than exploitative consumers of their gas.

Many people have become disgusted of this situation, including myself, that have lived and worked for the GMG for years, until I could not bear to see such disregard for the order and tradition of Kusari.

The Hong Wu has risen to oppose this terrible state of affairs, and we will work to have the GMG abandon their foolish path, and submit to the rightful ruler of the systems of Crow Nebula, the great House of Kusari. Not only the safety of Planet Miura and Planet Kurile depend on this, but also the lives of thousands of Kusarian colonists, and the prosperous future of the house.

That the Guild abused the negligence of Kusari in the past, and held back the peaceful development of Rheinland industries and well being in the now known sigma region is regrettable. That they have used that unlikely outcome to become overflowing with pride and disrespect the rules and customs of the ancient houses is unforgivable.

The commitment of foreign and native criminal forces into the Guild affairs shows not only how degenerate they have become, but also be cause of some concern. If the Dragons or the Hessians can be convinced to support the Gas Miners claims of authority, who is to say that the Guild will not be persuaded in turn to support the outlaws and strike back at home, in the hearts of Kusari and Rheinland?

To rise against oppressors such as these is just, but a show of victory must be delivered by our cause. To bark and not bit will leave our enemies emboldened in spirit and in arms. Currying the support of the Corsairs will be fundamental to prevent the GMG from having a safe haven from which they would replay their delaying tactics.

If the Association will not take steps in curbing the GMG oppression, then the Hong Wu will act in their place.
For a greater Kusari, for a greater tomorrow."

the message ends, the image of Brother Zhou replaced by the image of an aggressive crimson crow, with three legs, over a blue background. A title, Hong Wu Yun Dong (Crimson Crow Movement), is visible on the image.
