Dear gentlefolk,

I am writing to you in order to apologize for the little incident in which I was involved earlier today in Kusari House Space. I wish to explain my odd behaviour since I do realize you must have been surprised when a report saying that a TAZ vessel was causing trouble reached your desks.

My Corvo cruiser is in no means a combat vessel. It is a Holy Sanctum of Her. She is the Goddess Eris of Discordia, and when one serves her things sometimes get confusing. She can be witchy when she wants, and not because she is evil, its oftenly because of pure boredom.

The Fifth of Discord serves as a Church and an a Sanctuary to prepare for the mighty strike of Verwirrung. Verwirrung itself is indeed a combat vessel, but it never leaves zoner space. Verwirrung is also this new era we are facing, being the Gallic Invasions it's first wave of change.

Eris ordered me to collect samples of all the products produced around Sirius, and it seems that some of these are listed as contraband in your Codex. I cannot say I wasn't aware of this, it's just that when one flies a mobile church, you don't go around paying attention to trouble, because you are not looking for none. So I went into Kusari, firmly decided to pass through on my way to the Sigmas without problems, when what you already know happened.

Now, for the supposed 'nomad power cells'. I have never come across one of these, and I can assure you that the items identified as such by the honorable officer who attempted to perform his duties are nothing to be afraid of. These are the Five Orbs of Chao, the pinnacle key that binds the pieces of the Great Wheel so it can Spin freely. As you might guess, these aren't objects of any monetary or military value, but on the other hand they are extremely precious to the Church of Eris Esoteric, since they are the Reliquae of Goddess and are meant to be taken to the reaches of Sirius where the delicate fibres that bind all things are becoming weak.

To sum up, these are sacred items that bless and repair our world, not war equipment to bring destruction.

I still know that my actions weren't at all acceptable but I hope you understand that those where the moves of a desperate man trying to defend a life's work. I hope the good officer's ship wasn't damaged too much when we were forced to open supresive fire in order to get safely to Aomori Station, from where I write.

I am all ears and will face the sanctions necessary to fix this problem. But I simply cannot hand over the Orbs of Chao. If the GMG allows it, I have no trouble in letting one of your experts come to where we parked the cruiser and check the orbs.

I will be waiting for your response here.

Yours and 23's

Dr. Hodge VanMojo

PS: I would like to thank the officer who intercepted me because he acted in a very honorable way, not the same as me, who tried to ran and was forgiven and then made an escape again.

[Kusari Uchugun]

Dr. Hodge VanMojo , your penitent reply gives us some hope that you are worthy of forgiveness.

Whilst we understand your point about the 'Orbs of Chao', you must see that the same can be said of nuclear devices, plutonium or any number of other commodities. I have no doubt that the first knife was intended as a tool, only by its wielders hand was it made into a weapon.

Your vessels energy fluctuations and readings are in line with highly dangerous alien technology: Scanner arrays were blown out at intervals system-wide; overcome by the unbelievable amounts of energy emitted by your vessel. Signal interference was reported in both New Tokyo and Honshu, and I believe the planet itself suffered some isolated brown-outs. You may not know, but we have a painful past with the aliens called nomads: and justifiably destroy any trace of them we find.

Our history with your group and our faith in Holliday is our primary reason for considering your apology. I think an apology is also in order for the Kempeitai officer whose trust you betrayed and fired upon.

It is the decision of High Command that you pay restitution of 250 million credits and that you also take time in your next week of sermons to mention the virtues of Kusari. We would also like you to speak to your brethren in the Omicrons, with an end to building trust so that we may share in their wisdom on the aliens called Nomads.
May your ancestors guide you.

Kallisti gentlefolk,

I wanted to tell you that I recieved your message and agree to comply with all your conditions. I will talk to the Omicroners about the exceptional treatment you are giving to my case and of course about your honorable ways and endless kindness. I was on my way to one of their bases actually, when all this happened.

Now coming to the matter of the fine payment. Since I am the leader of an Erisian chapel, my financial ventures are not that broad, and I do not posses that ammount of money. Despite that, I have already asked the Temple Fund of The Church of Eris Esoteric to give me a five fingered hand on this. I bet you will be hearing of a transaction in no time, just tell me the bank adress so I can send the dineros that way.

To the Kempeitai officer:
My most deep apologies sir. You proved to be an honorable soldier and in return got only bluffs and shenanigans. I feel terrible about this, but Goddess made me do it. As you must remember, I jettisoned all illegal cargo as soon as you requested, as I would have done at any time since we TAZ do not want to taint the good relations with the Kusarian nation. But as I already explained, my hands were tied on this particular time. I do hope you remember that I made the best efforts to avoid violence. I used gunfire just in a suppressive manner, and remember apologizing to you quite a few times during the whole event. Please sir, I truly apologize for the problems I brought to your doorstep and for my dishonorable behaviour. I do hope you hold no grudges towards me or TAZ.

Hoping this whole matter settles soon.

Yours and 23's

Dr. Hodge VanMojo

Dr. Hodge VanMojo, arigatou, we are told that the Kempeitai officer appreciates your apology.
Any fines dealt with by Kusari Naval Forces should be sent to [KNF]Heikiko.Maru .

As far as we are concerned, once the fine is sent this matter is settled: We expect that you have learned how strict the laws of Kusari can be, and will not make the same mistake again.

Whilst you may make tours of Kusari with a religious vessel, that ship must not be a capital class vessel. The exceptions to this are [color=#33CC00][TAZ]Chao's.Eyes
[TAZ]Golden.Apple.Corps.

For your own sake and that of any civilians, I suggest you take the Orbs of Chao far from any inhabited space.
May your journeys be free of death.

If you allow me, i will step in here to notify the fine was paid by our temple fund.

I do hope the good relations we have with Kusari won't be affected by this incident.

Stay shiny.

Thanks for being so comprehensive with a first time offender. Your kindness knows no limits. My visits will not happen again, at least not until you ask for them.
