A team at Yanagi has analyzed photo and video evidence from three different sources operating within Kusari to confirm that there was some sort of meeting in Kyushu between the Rheinland Military and the Kusari Navy. We have no information about the nature of this meeting. Apparently we missed the height of it. We have received reports of several RM vessels in the Kyushu system, but there was no evidence provided to back up this reports. Nevertheless, one of our salvage frigates and a vessel from the LSF were both destroyed in Kyushu. I don't know fully the nature of the LSF ship's destruction but I know that our salvage frigate cooperated fully and attempted to surrender before its destruction. I can only conclude that the KNF did not want anyone to find out about this little meeting.
As we do not know the nature of this meeting, no conclusions can be drawn at this time. However, it does appear that there is a deal being struck between the houses of Kusari and Rheinland, and it is a deal they will kill to defend. All Junkers should exercise the highest caution when travelling in Kusari and Rheinland.
