*Amongst all the hustle of Q&A, Elrica O'Connell and her associate took the opportunity to approach Dato Itagaki, whilst the rest of the delegates were distracted.*
Hello Dato-sama
*She bowed in an awkward manner; her lack of confidence with Kusari customs was obvious. As some sort of reconciliation she offered to shake hands*
We very much enjoyed your speech on behalf of the Rising Sons. For me, your speech really hit the nail on the nail on the head. We're pretty trapped between corrupt regimes at present. Kusari, controlled by Samura; Gallia; and the Maltese drug lords; all wish us slaves or dead. We have a few questions, if we may?
What, in your opinion, could be done to help reduce the influence of these corrupt officials with the government and the Kusari Naval Forces?
Also.... what's the policy of the Blood Dragons regarding the Taus? Would your government respect the independence of settlers within the Taus? What about the Sigmas?
As I see it, the Rising Sons and our Commune have a common interest in a Kusari free to think for itself, without corruption in its ranks.
