"That depends on the viability of said alliances. Kinkaku-ji has the potential to be an important activity hub." She takes a sip of her cardamine tea. "Kinkaku-ji right now is just a shrine base, but in a fledgeling stage. It will continue to expand over time."
“That's self-explanatory..well, let's hope for the best“she smiled at her interlocutor.“It's good to see you and your base grow. A shrine you say? Do you mind telling me more about it? I'm not a religious person, but you should always be open to new ideas.“ She rested her head in her left hand, looking interested at the kusarian woman, awaiting her answer.
"Kinaku-ji is a shrine dedicated to the goddess of the sun, Amaterasu, and the founder of our movement, lady Matsuda. It is the largest shrine that the Golden Chrysanthemums currently have and covers most of the station. Several priestesses tend to it. But it would be best illustrated when you see it yourself." She looked at Amato with a smile."What is the Estremadura like?"
She smiled back at Miyazaki before answering. “I will give it a look, I never saw a shrine for a goddess before, so it's quite the opposite of Estramadura. It's always full of people, be it trader or diplomats or simple cartel personnel. It's our main trade hub, we also use it as a watch post for planet Soledad. It was also helpful as a storage depot during our colonization of Albegna. Where you helped us to a great extent as I heard. If you want to know more about Soledad or Albegna, you have to ask senor de Motti, since I wasn't involved in these matters.“
"Kinaku-ji also houses a large cardamine and weapon market. A debris field surrounds it which might take away some of the charm, but also works as a protective barrier. We started salvaging the materials, but it will take a long time clear it up. I heard there was trouble in Tau-37 lately, some of our Sisters were ambushed by IMG and Bounty Hunters, has that problem been resolved yet?"
The first answer brought a short smile on her face.
“I think protection is a bit more important for a space station then it's good looks. Si that's right. But don't worry the situation is under our control now, we destroyed one of the IMG bases in this system and increased our influence even further. It was a pleasure to see that many maltese fight together for one goal. It was also quite interesting who supported the miners or what alliances unfolded.“ She looked for her datapad pressed some buttons before turning her attention back to the kusarian woman. “This piece of information should be very intriguing for you and your allies, surely you can use it one way or another." She moved the datapad over to Miyazaki and she could read the following log.
She leaned forward and looked carefully at the datapad.
"I would like a copy of that information. It is both interesting and concerning that the Kusari navy seems to be on friendly terms with kaeru-jin. In any case, I will be sure to get that info to our Command."
She sits back again
"This was in Tau-37? Some of our Sisters were sent there after we got the reports of the attacks. It is good to know that the base has been eliminated. Hopefully this severely weakens the threat to our transports"
“Si, due to the fact that this pilot referred to his puppet king, you can assume, he is part of the people who committed the genocide on Leeds. I'm pretty sure this will undermine several relations the kusarians have and this will surely play in both our hands.
Shall I send the log to you or is there someone else? Indeed, I hope it was only the start of changes for this system. I personally would welcome a base of the sisterhood in that system, but that's only a personal opinion. The safety of transports should be normalized again.“
"It is strange that even though Gallia destroyed Leeds, people still side with them. You can give me the copy, I will take it to the appropriate authority. Regarding Tau-37, it is in the Sisterhood's best interest to keep that trade route with Malta secure, but do you think Malta will agree to a permanent GC base in that system? Malta recently claimed it as their protectorate and all our resources currently flow towards Kinkaku-ji"
“Alright I'll send it right away.“ She took her datapad and sent the log to her. “That's true but we can use this to damage the reputation of our enemies. You don't fight battles only on the field...As I said this is just my personal opinion and ask yourself do you want someone you can trust near you or someone who harbours nearly anyone?“
