Very well then, I'll skip the pleasantries for now and place our deliveries to date.

"Guildman Ilo Takato, I apologize for the..."Munen pauses and looks up at her forehead to think of how to describe it appropriately."... 'small emotional outburst' earlier."She bows her head with a decidedly practiced sweetness."The interrogatory nature of your request threw me slightly 'out of balance' as it reminded me of my time in Fuchu Prison - an unpleasent time to say the least.
Please be assured that myself and the Golden Chrysanthemum movement are grateful for the support we receive from your organization with this project. Arigato. I am glad to see that your employees already managed to deliver quite a few of our requested commodities and hope they were sufficiently and warmly welcomed on the Matsuda."The Kusarian smiles with false modesty.
it has been a while since you kept us up-to-date on the deliveries to the Matsuda we agreed upon... So I'm informing you that we handled the demand for Industrial Marterials by -ourselves-. I think I mentioned the urgency this project has to us, didn't I?
Might it be possible that the gas miners are too busy with the construction of their new base to fulfill their part of the contract on their own currently? Should I and my sisters maybe look elsewhere for sufficient support and service?"Munen smiles through her eyes, showing a hint of teeth that if you'd blinked, you would have missed.
"Additionally, I wonder if your discussions regarding the other materials have been fruitful in any way yet. I assume an organization like yours usually is quite fast on such important decision-makings and considering how eager some of you seem to be on the subject of collecting and analyzing information regarding trading when it comes to other organizations... I find it hard to believe that it takes that long to find simple buying points for our requested materials for your own group - after all you were also able to tell us quite swiftly that you aren't able to get your hands on Nuclear Devices, weren't you? It's quite stunning what kind of proverbial mountain can be moved by a single transport and its crew in a short amount of time if the will and commitment is present as you will see shortly... One that can even cast a shadow over that of a far more advanced trading division such as yours it seems."An updated inventory list appears:

"While we are having this conversation..."Her eyes seem to gleam in a mixture of amusement and disappointment."...Guildsman.
There is something I have to ask from you - aside from the actual fulfillment of this contract I mean. If you happen to feel the urge to speak to me again in person I'd be delighted if you would do me the courtesy to contact me before showing up infront of Ainu Depot - unannounced and accompanied by your crew to listen in while we converse. Because despite the unsettling topic you felt the need to bring up, I would have liked to actually receive the "gifts" you brought us. Instead I ended up sending you away all of a sudden when the Maltese arrived to prevent your precious transport and lifes from vanishing in an eyeblink - including the "gifts".
I'd be... ~grateful~ if that would be possible."Munen's eyes stare piercingly for a moment before they and her lips form a well-trained diplomatic smile followed by her head lowering in a sideway-ish motion still fixating on the camera.
"Do you see this, miners?"Munen's voice sounds like it would come right out of a deep freezer.
"We waited long enough for the gas miners to cure their blatant ignorance towards us and our 'agreement' on their own.
Unfortunately -you chose- to waste our scarce time and lavish patience with silence. -You chose- to waste the ressources destined for the Matsuda on your by now vanished station, intended to benefit your individual profit only. -You chose- to waste the manpower, needed to deliver these ressources to us, to disappear in the Maltese and Golden Chrysanthemum spitfire during their futile attempt to prevent the installation's predetermined fate."
Another image appears.
"Consider our 'agreement' hereby as -VOID-, just as any good-will we had left in us for your kind."

Haisai, Musou-san.
Yare yare, what a mess. This is not going to end well, hai?
The Ryukyu Guild has been dealing with it's own internal management as our fleet is still lacking in space so we left the deliveries to our other branch, who did send some supplies your way, so we left it up to them. We apologize for not taking an active role in this, but we could hardly assist you if we wanted due to the state of our fleet.
The base in question was purely made by the other branch, Ryukyu had nothing to do with it nor were we informed about it's construction. I hope you don't plan on slapping their actions onto us. There's also the issues with you actively working with outlaws within our space, but I don't exactly know what to say about that. If you would, I'd like you to split your opinions of both branches so we can clearly see where Ryukyu stands in all of this as a bystander in this situation.
I'm glad to see my last transmission managed to gain 'someone's' attention in Okinawa rather swiftly. I don't think we had the 'pleasure' to talk to each other yet, now did we?"Considering the situation and recent events she gives her conversational partner a lesser cold smile than in her earlier transmission."What happened to Hashi Sho?"Munen pauses."I hope he is in the best of health and was not as unfortunate to get hit by any of Okinawa Trade Station's debris crashing down on Planet Miura."Her casualness gives the impression that there wasn't really any 'hope' or concern involved in her line of thinking.
"Isn't it suprising and worrisome, Tamagusuku-san."Her voice makes it clear, she isn't really asking a question, but making a mere statement. She looks lost at a corner on the ceiling on the left side from where she stands."A few hours ago employees, colleagues, friends and maybe even close and beloved family members of your other branch lost their lifes under...-tragic-... circumstances and yet here -you- are while the GMG still doesn't seem to care about the future safety of their - your - own people... Don't you agree that this is an even more 'heartless' behaviour than what the Golden Chrysanthemum movement was -forced- to do by just the same people? To forsake the future of your own people just like that..."Munen sighs in an actingly motherly manner and looks back at the camera and if there was any form of 'regret' on her face to take notice of it surely vanished as soon as she completly faced the camera.
"Considering the choosing of your words I assume we both agree I don't need to explain myself regarding these 'outlaws'?"She answers her own question shortly after."Good~."The Chrysanthemum smiles in an uninterpretable way as she drags out her last word with a tad bit of vocalized freezingly venom in it.
"Now... the Ryukyu Guild is -wise- to -distance- themselves from the unreliability and ignorance the Gas Miners Guild showcased time and time again; I acknowledge that, I truly do. The question is: what does not only -distance- the Ryukyu Guild from their mining brethren's behaviour, but what does make them -different- from them to our movement and perception as well? So we don't end up being -forced- to... how did you word it... to 'slap their actions onto you'? Hai, that was it, wasn't it?
I am interested, Tamagusuku-san. And my mind is open and receptive. Unlike your foolish 'friends' I am willing to listen -and- to answer.

Haisai, Musou-san.
Sho-sama is fine. I guess I didn't bother to introduce myself before. I am Guild Master Gihon, I head up the Ryukyu Paramilitary and the Commonwealth's security. I've been requested to take over this conversation due to the fact you now pose a threat to us, however small it might be.
Seeing as you have decided to drop formalities, I will do the same. The level of respect your sisterhood sect has given us is far below what I would give to a flea. Regardless of your reasonings, you worked with outlaws in our space and with them oversaw the damaging and destruction of a potential station for the overall Guild for petty reasons such as not assisting you in a matter that did not have say over people's lives. You decided to attack and murder people of the Guild, and don't seem to really care.
Now. Are you going to explain your reasoning for hurting the Guild, and bringing death to innocent lives? You seem to think you can bully us just because you don't care. Think again and choose your words wisely.
"I am done explaining to deaf ears and blind eyes. Clearly you made your choice. I recommend you use this channel for a long conversation amongst equals.
