Dear Golden Chrysanthemums, Cobo Hakkera, a new Shogun of the blood dragons, We know that we had our up and downs in recent years, but as the new shogun, I see a bright future between our two factions. We share the same goal to overthrow the Kusari government. We cannot ignore their mischievous acts.
Therefore, I came here to improve the relationship between the Blood Dragons and the Golden Chrysanthemums. This will be a fruitful opportunity to strengthen our fleet by establishing military assemblies and collaboration between the two factions as a starter. We are brothers and Sisters of Kusari. We need to stand together as one. This will be the best chance that if we two collaborate. We have a better chance to achieve our goals together
What do you say?.

Hajimemashite, Shogun Hakkera,
It is unexpected to see a new Shogun come to power. In all honesty, we haven't had word from the Northern Shogunate for a while. I am Kiri, Matriarch of the Golden Chrysanthemum Gen'an Sisterhood. We strife to realise Matsuda's ideals.
Gen'an refers to the Original Plan or Fundamental Idea that gave birth to the Golden Chrysanthemum movement. We are a movement of traditions and we hope you as new Shogun also wish to honor the ancient alliance between us. After all, in recent years, the Blood Dragons have grown more towards their Order and Coalition allies and turned away from us.
If you truly stand by your words, we are willing to cooperate with you.

Kiri-san, Good to see you are interested in improving the relationship between the two factions. We are following by code of dignity and honor, As well as respecting our old tradition. However, I see that you are upset about the previous shogun, and I genuinely understand that. The last shogun took things too far and turned his back on the Gen'an Chrysanthemums. I would inform you we have no business for now with the coalition. Their ideology and tradition are unrelated to us and unwelcome.
I am also going to assure you I won't turn my back towards you as my previous shogun did. After all, We are kin, Sons, and daughters of Kusari. We need to stand up as one. I will notify you that I am going to improve my relationship with the order as well. I won't turn my back towards them. We have fought together since the nomad war, and leaving them now will be a foolish move. The goal is to have a strong bond between the blood dragons and the Gen'an Chrysanthemums. I hope you will understand my visions and accept them, As both of the factions has a few flaws.

⧫ A new dawn?
It has been a while since we heard from the Blood Dragons, more so comes this message as a surprise due to the apparent shift of power.
Before I may continue, allow me to introduce myself: Aimi Amaia, Elder Sister of the Sisterhood of the Light. A relatively old stream within the Golden Chrysanthemums movement aiming to undermine the current Empire through various means, reaching from open battle over intelligence warfare to political infiltration.
With the sight of a possible new dawn for the Blood Dragons, I have been granted the pleasure to handle all future affairs between our organisations.
The Sisters of Light look forward to re-establishing a stronger bound between the Golden Chrysanthemums and the Blood Dragons as a whole. As already outlined by the Gen'an representative, the Shogun of past caused more turmoils than good by favoring the incompatible mindset of the Coalition over many decades old allies.
Your relationship towards the Order on the other hand poses no issue to us, as we maintain a positive business relation with the Order since many years ourselves.
As a starter, we would propose to intensify our joint efforts surrounding Planet Tomioka - a matter left quite abandoned by prior Shoguns despite the heavy investment especially the Blood Dragons took upon themselves to gain a foothold there - and to coordinate opportunity strikes against viable targets in Kusari.

Konichiwa, Amaia-san. Planet Tomioka is a planet under the control of Samura. I am aware that we have an outpost inside the planet. We can use the outpost as some tool to perform convoy raids on Samura and maybe even perform a blockade on the planet, Preventing Samura officials exit their planet.
The system Tottori can be used for our benefit since it's far distant from the capital so that Kusari Naval forces will have some trouble approaching us. But before we perform anything, I think we need to train our fleets together so communication and our combat strategy will come to a decent level.
Lack of communication and lack of training will cost us valuable human resources, and we don't want it, right Amaia-san? I invite you the Golden Chrysanthemums to our main base Kyoto in the system of Chugoku. There we can talk more privately without anyone sitting on our transmissions. There we can talk about our relations and the operations we might do together.

Hakkera-san,
We don't object to your relations with the Order. Recently we cooperated on identifying an alien infestation within the GC movement. It seems that this cooperation has reduced tensions between us. This Infected individual goes by the name of Krumai and flies a gunboat designated as Jestak. Just be on guard for this dangerous individual. She is known to sow conflict. On the same page, we expect the Blood Dragons to tollerate the Outcasts as our allies.
Secondly. As the new shogun, we want the current state of war between the Shogunate and the Gen'an Sisterhood to be resolved. We are officially in a state of cease fire. As the entire conflict was caused by the previous Shogunate's support of a Coalition outpost in Kyushu, this should no longer pose a valid reason for conflict between us. If we are to restore relations, we want a full restoration of the alliance.
Thirdly. The Northern Kusari Shogunate passed 'laws' that outlaws Cardamine and threatens to destroy any vessel carrying it. It also lays claim to systems which are considered very important to the Golden Chrysanthemum movement. It ruffles our feathers when our supposed allies are starting to act like the very government that they seek to overthrow. It would as if I suddenly start to draft laws and start enforcing them in Chugoku. We both really don't want that.

ご挨拶, Kiri-san. The blood dragons dislike the use of cardmine, But we accept to overlook it upon since the Gen'an Chrysanthemums, Fight to the same cause of ours. We are going to put a blind eye over cardmine trades over our region, But I will tell you that we are genuinely not happy with that decision as I said each faction has its flaws, and we must accept each-other flaws, so I am willing to do so for achieving our goal. I hope you won't let me down on this Kiri-san.
That drug is hazardous and addictive and killing the body when it doesn't receive the amount needed. I would also like to speak about constructing the operation base that will let Gen'an Chrysanthemums and the Blood dragons to dock on. That base will be a research facility to improve our technologies and fight against the Kusari Navy.

Hakkera-san,
I agree that every single one of has their flaws and that we must attempt to compensate these with our strenghts. One is not defeated by their flaws, but by their inability to notice them.
I do wish to know why the Blood Dragons have need of a new research station when Sendai is still operational. It is still operational, isn't it? In any case, I have talked this over with my commanders and we all agreed that our own projects take up too many of our resources to be able to forward some towards a new installation. We are fully willing to support you with its security should the need arise, but this is the best we could do at this point in time.

こんにちは, Glad that we are on the same page, As you mention there some civil war inside the Golden Chrysanthemums, correct?
What I can offer to help is probably meeting in Kyoto inside our war council room, There the Golden Chrysanthemums can sort things out without it turning into something nasty. Let's quickly solve that sort of civil war between you and the other sisters. If you two come to a somewhat agreement, you can become much more effective than before.
It depends. Are you willing to do that and understand other points of view, Because if you don't? We cannot solve that issue. Two sides need to come forward to this and understand each side's point of view. After that, you two may go into some agreement. Then we can continue our plans. I don't think it will be much in use if your faction is divided into two groups. Are you okay meeting with me and the Golden Chrysanthemums at the Conference Room?
さようなら

Konnichiwa,
There is no such thing as a civil war between the Golden Chrysanthemums. Just different methods. They may clash at times yes, but there is nothing like a civil war going on between us. There shall always be different views, but when it is neccesary, we can set our differences aside. That is all that matters really.
This is not only truth for Gen'an and the Sisterhood of Light. This is the same for all Golden Chrysanthemum groups operating in Kusari. It is likely the same with the Blood Dragon clans, is it not?
