Ochi-san,
I think I should inform you of your mistake, here. First, our taishi has long been in the eye of the KNF, however, as a boon, not a detriment. If you would investigate even a small bit, I'm sure you would understand that our ambassador is by no means a low profile member of our organization, and, by far, has the largest spotlight on any of his activities that may be frowned upon. The KNF voices no complaints to us, so we must believe that nothing we have done is wrong.
Secondly, I don't think I need to explain to you our own culture. As far as I knew, the Hogosha were protectors of such a culture that I fight everyday to protect. As per our customs, our honorable taishi has captured his foes in an honorable fight, and they are his prisoners to whom he may do as he pleases. They are our prisoners, and so they will remain. Whatever the KNF or Hogosha decide to do with their prisoners, it is their decision, however, we have our own methods and our own men. As long as we fight for what we fight for, it will remain as such. We are not a subsection of any other organization, we are our own people.
Thirdly, the Outcast captured by our taishi is, again, his prisoner. If the KNF would like this prisoner, all they must do is ask. I hear nothing from them, so to me, your "offer" seems like senseless greed, something I fight against everyday to keep it from permeating Kusari minds.
Now, sir, your offer has been heard, however, we do not agree to it. You may be allies, though, I think you are attempting to abuse your position as such.

I apologies if my request came off as an attack on your honour, you know I meant no disrespect. I do thank you for pointing out my ignorance as to the identity of Taishi, as I have only known the man as Ze'ev. My request was simply made as an attempt to defuse tension between KNF and yourselves. I may have been rather quick to act in this, but my sources do continue to inform me of tension continuing among the KNF. I trust that you will not see this as a sign of disrespect or greed on my behalf. As we both know our women follow the three obediences, this is a matter of to whom the woman belongs. I did not wish to imply the Black Dragons had ownership, but simply there is a question as all three parties took part in her subduing. Seeing as this as caused discourse between us, I wish to wash my hands of the matter. It is now a matter between the AFA and the KNF.

Sirs, allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Aed Chase and I was raised in Bretonia. I began working with the Zoners at the age of 18 and have for many years worked for the Jupiter Guild. The Guild's close relationship with the Corsairs of Crete gave me the opportunity to view the suffering of the poorer classes on Crete and I devoted my time thereon to shipping humanitarian aid to Crete. For a time, the Jupiter Guild supported me in this, but share-prices have fallen and it seems they can no-longer afford to support my operations.
Worse, it now seems that the politics in the Omicrons have shifted, and where once my humanitarian aid was supported by my fellow Zoners, now I am held in contempt for helping their rivals.
It is for this reason, I have chosen to give up my alliegence with the Zoner consortium and I today contacted Minister Ze'ev Barak to offer my services and my ship to the Alliance.
An old injury prevents me from flying combat vessels but Minister Barak assured me that my services would be welcomed in shipping commodities between Alliance outposts and your allies, particularly in light of his intentions to increase food-shipping to Planet Crete.
It is my hope that with the help of my newfound friends in the Artisan Farmers Alliance I will be able to continue to work towards my overarching objective of banishing hunger and poverty from the lives of citizens in the Corsair empire, Kusari and beyond.
Today, I rendezvoused with the [AFA]Fallowed.Ground and spoke the Minister Barak in person, before his right-hand-man assisted me with the task of re-designating my ship, and earning the respect of the rest of the Farmers Alliance. We did a sufficient number of tasks for the FA mission comission to earn enough respect for me to be granted Farmers Alliance Identification, and my trusty Series ST Borderworld Transport has been rechristened the [AFA]Graceful.Charity.
I look forward to working with all of you, and hope that my future actions will aid the prosperity of the people of Kusari, the Corsair Empire, and your allies.
We welcome another into the fold, while this one is not Kusari of birth, he has a farmers heart, and a head for the routes that we need to take our food to Crete and help the starving people there. Welcome him with open arms farmers. Also I would like any of you that can afford it to purchase a transport to aid in this food lift.

Konnichiwa everyone,
Today was a very good day. When I first entered Honshu, I manged to find a gaijin who thought himself wise. I taught him his place in Kusari, along with an IMG fighter who the gaijin mistakenly fired upon. What a fool, he was... http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj139/K...r/screen315.jpg
After this, I met a trio of Blood Dragon bombers outside Planet Honshu. I warned them kindly to leave, and they refused. Two of them met their deaths, one of them fled, like the coward he is. He can be thankful that his dead brethren drove my disrupter to disrepair.
Once the Dragons were dead, I heard rumors of Outcasts in Kyushu. Much to my dismay, the rumors were true, though, I taught the Falcatta that Kusari is not his playground. The Scimitar, on the other hand, decided that running was the most prudent option.

Konnichiwa,
Today, I met one of the slimy Bretonians in New Tokyo attempting to collect on gaijin traders. I caught him in the act of murdering one such fool, for whom I feel no remorse. I began fighting the gaijin, and was joined by a Hogosha and a Samura escort. In the end, the Bretonian fled, however, I chased him vehemently.
In the end, he docked on Freeport 6, but when I docked to meet him in the bar and educate him on why Kusari combat training was superior to Bretonian, where he was apparently looking at me from the window, he was nowhere to be found. I undocked, and he soon followed, and he offered me an honest fight. The remains of his ship are enclosed:

Konichiwa! Slipped behind enemy lines in Tau-31 today and entered Bretonia proper in order to assassinate elite Bretonian pilots.
My first victim was Ensign S. Oleander of the Bretonian Armed Forces - I intercepted him during what appeared to be a routine patrol of New London. Ensign Oleander wasn't one for formalities and opened fire straight away after issuing me an ultimatum. Guess he didn't expect to die at a farmer's hands.
Some time later, I encountered Lieutenant Commander James Hobart and his two wingmen, Ensigns Tom Ramey and John Galt, six or seven klicks north of Planet New London - all BAF pilots. All three were uncharacteristically cordial and polite; we spent nearly half an hour discussing the war and its impact on our respective Houses. I almost regretted killing them.
Ensign Ramey was the first to fall - I stripped his hull down to a fragment of integrity, after which Lieutenant Commander Hobart fired a cruise disruptor at his wingman, presumably to prevent me from claiming the kill.
Next, the Lieutenant Commander ate a nuclear mine.
Ensign Galt then did the same.
After the three BAF pilots lost their ships, a fourth Bretonian, Lieutenant Commander Simon Aldwyn, undocked from Planet New London and, with no further ado, attempted to destroy my ship. Unfortunately, at this point, I began to experience hefty ion interference - I moved the battle to the east of the planet, near the Cornwall asteroid field, where Lieutenant Commander Aldwyn, after a decent interval and forty-nine of his Paralyzer missiles, eventually turned tail and fled. I regret not having dispatched him - the ion storms were too powerful.
I fight for the farmers of Kyushu. Sayonara - Sato out.

Konnichiwa,
I have both very good news, and very bad news. First, the good news, is that the Privateers are operating with very little success these days. Along with my previous victory over one of the fools, I have to report a great success in unison with a Black Dragon in the destruction of another Challenger, the piece of slag that it is. The fool never knew what hit him.
However, in the day before, Ichiro and I were in Honshu, making sure the gaijin knew our names. Few of them understood our cause, and we taught five or six of them their worth in Kusari. Unfortunately, this was brought to an end by the voice of Mon'Star and his fiendish servant, PSI.Borg. I had heard rumors of the man, if he can so be called, however, I relished the thought of destroying such a foe. Unfortunately, this was torn asunder, as when Ichiro and I engaged the fiends outside Planet Honshu with considerable KNF capital support, Ichiro was downed.
Knowing that I couldn't risk being captured by the dishonorable dogs, nor could I leave Ichiro to death in such a way, I scooped his pod into my hold, and retreated to our home at Kagoshima, leaving the gaijin to deal with the madmen. They can learn through the fiends, as well, for what I care, but they should do well to heed my threats of revenge for any deeds against Kusari....
