[Malaclypse 666]

Update:

To all KNF and KNT Members:

I will be meeting with the leaders of NovaPG and Bushido tomorrow, Saturday, at 1700 UT in Hokkaido.

Commander Ezra Kilo is hereby promoted to Captain, and will be on the bridge of the Flagship Tawakemono. He will take me, alone, to the heart of the Hokkaido System. No other ships will accompany us.

The NovaPG are nervous, and have insisted on bringing their Fleet to the meeting. They fear treachery on the part of their other enemies, not the KNF. Should their enemies try to take advantage of the Negotiations, Master Intoxication has guaranteed me that his Fleet will protect the Tawakemono as well.

If KNF members wish to gather for updates, you may rendezvous at Yokohama Shipyards, but go no further. I have given my word. I believe the Dragons and Mums will abide by their word, as well. If for some reason I am wrong, and do not return, then you must each search your soul as to what the future holds for you and the KNF. Have no fear, I will return, and hopefully with an agreement which will give the KNF a new chance to prevail against Bretonia, and to grow strong enough to confront our other enemies again.

Here are the Terms I will request:

1) Temporary ceasefire between NovaPG/Bushido and KNF/Katana throughout Sirius until the end of September. Length can be renegotiated at any time by either side.

2) KNF/Katana will stay out of Hokkaido, Chugoku, Tohoku, and the NovaPG/Bushido Guard/Home Systems except for pass-thru to other systems when requested.

3) NovaPG/Bushido will stay out of Kyushu, New Tokyo, Honshu, Shikoku, Hiroshima, and Fukuoka except for pass-thru when requested.

(I know there may be instances when a request is impossible.. no one on to ask.. considerations given. These terms pertain to major Fleet movements. Individuals will be given consideration in their movements through Cease-fire space.)

4) NovaPG/Bushido will not pirate or interfere w/ KNT/Kishiro/Samura traders anywhere; nor will our side interfere with NovaPG/Bushido traders anywhere. If NovaPG/Bushido will provide a complete list of their affilliated Traders, they will be noted and included in the Terms.

5) Non-aligned traders in any of the above systems must fare for themselves during the Cease-fire. There are plenty of Escorts, Mercenaries, etc., to give them protection during this time. Both sides will be responsible for documenting any attacks made upon their own Factions or others in the area that may be against the spirit of this Cease-Fire. These incidents must be reported to Leaders, and will be discussed in good faith in an effort to maintain the Cease-fire.

The Ancestors and Gods will travel with me. Pray to your own that our answer will be favorable.

Chijin
