How that Once Mighty Kusari Navy has been Reduced to Savagery.
In the time of our Fathers, KNF meant Honor and Glory.
In our time, KNF means Cowardice and Flatulence.
It is a sign of the End of an Age, and a New Beginning.
Safe inside Warship, IKN-Haruna's Commanding Officer considered his options.
"I am not worthy to fight equal opponents. Yet I desire are slaves to worship me." He thought.
"But I am so pobre! How can I afford slaves? Oh Look! Here are some hard-working Corsarios!"
Then, a evil thought came into his mind.
He dared not utter it aloud to the crewmates.
"If I were to use this overwhelming firepower the once-proud citizens of Kusari have provided me to intimidate these tiny defenseless mining ships, I can make them my slaves for free! They perform my wishes like good boys and girls and gather riches for my empty coffers!"
DTR-CCS>NumachiNeko: Keep your distance, please.
DTR-CCS>El_Auxiliar-2: Hola, Kusarians!
[KNF]IKN-Haruna: RO: Corsair vessels, you will begin working on the Samura transport here. We do not have hostile intent, however attempts to flee will have consequences.
DTR-CCS>NumachiNeko: How much you offer?
[KNF]IKN-Haruna: RO: There is no payment.
DTR-CCS>NumachiNeko: That sounds no good to me.
DTR-CCS>NumachiNeko: Offer something more
DTR-CCS>El_Auxiliar-2: Kusarian
DTR-CCS>El_Auxiliar-2: If you blow us up, you remain without cargo yourself
DTR-CCS>El_Auxiliar-2: As there is noone to mine
DTR-CCS>El_Auxiliar-2: We are willing to cooperate
DTR-CCS>NumachiNeko: Yes, but not for free!
DTR-CCS>El_Auxiliar-2: But don't make it harder for everyone involved
[KNF]IKN-Haruna: RO: We remain firm on our proposal. You have a minute to discuss it amongst yourself or the guns trained on the Essedarius will open fire.
DTR-CCS>NumachiNeko: Hmmmm.
DTR-CCS>El_Auxiliar-2: should we split the cargo and make a run for it? DTR-CCS>El_Auxiliar-2: He cannot shoot 3 ships at the same time. Give me 80 units, hombre.
DTR-CCS>NumachiNeko: Increase your offer.
DTR-CCS>NumachiNeko: Negotiation takes a little diplomacy.
DTR-CCS>NumachiNeko: Our workers have rights, just as your do.
DTR-CCS>NumachiNeko: Everyone needs to eat and be housed.
[KNF]IKN-Haruna: RO: Our offer has been set. The clock is ticking.
DTR-CCS>NumachiNeko: There's my offer.
JETTISONS CARGO towards Samura Train
DTR-CCS>NumachiNeko: See how I have brought something to the table?
[KNF]IKN-Haruna: RO: Corsair, you best comply for your own good. We, as stated before, have no hostile intent if you cooperate.
DTR-CCS>El_Auxiliar-2: Your offer is hostile
DTR-CCS>El_Auxiliar-2: You're taking us for slaves, then claiming no hostile intent
DTR-CCS>NumachiNeko: Like Corsair said, show a little respect, get a little.
[KNF]IKN-Haruna: RO: And it is well known in the Deterrence that Kusari rewards its partners.
DTR-CCS>Trabajador: if you have no hostile intent you shouldnt be pointing those guns at me, senor!
DTR-CCS>El_Auxiliar-2: How are you known to do that?
DTR-CCS>El_Auxiliar-2: By handing our colleagues to BD and GC?
DTR-CCS>NumachiNeko: We could have already reached an arrangement and been back to work by now...
DTR-CCS>NumachiNeko: Certainly, your time is as precious as ours.
[KNF]IKN-Haruna: [Frustrated at the deadlock, the Haruna's captain orders a warning shot to be fired.]
DTR-CCS>NumachiNeko: Fire a Credit shot.
DTR-CCS>NumachiNeko: Like maybe $200,000
[KNF]IKN-Haruna: RO: Comply or we will use deadly force.
DTR-CCS>NumachiNeko: That's no good for you or us.
DTR-CCS>NumachiNeko: Maybe this is why Kusari have trouble accomplishing things?
DTR-CCS>NumachiNeko: You want to blow things up instead of getting work done.
DTR-CCS>El_Auxiliar-2: Maybe they simply lack the funding?
DTR-CCS>NumachiNeko: You came here unprepared, and want us to be your slaves?
DTR-CCS>NumachiNeko: How will this strategy work long-term?
[KNF]IKN-Haruna: [With the time passed, the battlecruiser sends a signal to the Samura to pick up any remnants.]
DTR-CCS>NumachiNeko: Think ahead.
[22.02.2024 13:34:07] DTR-CCS>Trabajador died to [KNF]IKN-Haruna (100%)
[22.02.2024 13:34:47] DTR-CCS>NumachiNeko died to [KNF]IKN-Haruna (100%)
DTR-CCS>El_Auxiliar-2: You've chosen your path Kusarian
DTR-CCS>El_Auxiliar-2: Shooting down miners and transports
DTR-CCS>El_Auxiliar-2: That's what Kusari must do to survive
The Thoughtful Observer will now question what these Human Conditions must be living in Kusari Territory.
How any Officer could treat his fellow man with such contempt is unimaginable.
What shame this Commander brought upon his family, his ancestors.
