' Wrote:"Emperor Kogen, you have claimed that 3 KNF officers were aboard this Samura transport. What sort of evidence do you have to show to confirm this statement?"
"Furthermore, how can Samura keep up with the incredible demand for H-Fuel that is required for the KNF, especially now since you in effect have a war on two fronts?"
*The Emperor held up three large files*
These are the autopsy reports along genetic confirmation of identity on the the KNF officers from the Samura transport. I also have 55 more that are the reports on the Samura crew members of the ships. 57 dead Kusari, be they KNF or Samura, those are 57 of my people, my family. Are you suggesting there is some Treaty that gives the GMG the right to murder these people?
As for Hfuel, We have adequate surpluses of Hfuel to supply the KNF and several other organizations for supplied for some 2 years.

With the questions from the last reporters answered, Kazuya stood up and spoke.
I know that this is a hard situation to believe, that the Gas Miners would actually attack Kusari citizens for no logical reason.
Allow me to play something for you.
This is the last known words of a Samura pilot that was shot down by GMG terrorists and is missing, presumed dead somewhere in the Sigma-19 system.
Guilty of nothing more than trying to reach planet Kurile to protect loved ones.
With this Kazuya played the message.

[03.04.2011 17:20:21] GMG|Kako.Shimakaze: Better turn around so your heading back to Honshu? Hai?
[03.04.2011 17:20:34] GMG|Kako.Shimakaze: Sigma 17 is GMG space
[03.04.2011 17:20:37] Samura|-Tamasine.Washi: Negative sir, I am headed to the closest Samura base.
[03.04.2011 17:20:40] GMG|Kako.Shimakaze: I told you to turn around
[03.04.2011 17:20:54] Samura|-Tamasine.Washi: Oh I see this is how it starts very well.
[03.04.2011 17:21:11] GMG|Kako.Shimakaze: Turn around now Samura
[03.04.2011 17:21:21] Samura|-Tamasine.Washi: I will let you do as you wish, I shall continue peacefully.
[03.04.2011 17:21:44] GMG|Kako.Shimakaze: If you want to keep going into GMG space I will open fire
[03.04.2011 17:22:13] Samura|-Tamasine.Washi: Sir if you wish to murder someone for heading to their own base, there is nothing I can do to stop you.
[03.04.2011 17:22:24] GMG|Kako.Shimakaze: Kurile is not your base
[03.04.2011 17:22:36] GMG|Kako.Shimakaze: it is unclaimed space
[03.04.2011 17:22:41] Samura|-Tamasine.Washi: I am forwarding this all back to Kusari, so you proceed how your consience makes you.
[03.04.2011 17:22:57] GMG|Kako.Shimakaze: alright lets take him out Trip
[03.04.2011 17:23:09] GMG|Kako.Shimakaze: kill him. Opening fire
[03.04.2011 17:23:13] Trips: Hai. Arming weapons
[03.04.2011 17:23:15] Samura|-Tamasine.Washi: You keep saying this and I have not disputed your claim of independence of the space in 17.
[03.04.2011 17:23:33] GMG|Kako.Shimakaze: last chance
[03.04.2011 17:23:49] GMG|Kako.Shimakaze: fine
[03.04.2011 17:23:51] Death: Samura|-Tamasine.Washi was killed by GMG|Kako.Shimakaze (Gun)
It is in no ones best interests to have conflict in the Sigma systems, but when someone brings conflict to you with no choice of your own then something must be done.
I am glad we have the Emperpr that we do, some one with the conviction to protect his people from terrorists and murderers.
With that he sits back down and continues to listen.
The reporter stood again. "Two year's worth of H-fuel, sir? Given current KNF expenditures, the sheer volume of such an enourmous amount exceeds belivability, and with a new offensive being launched, expenditures will only continue to rise! Will there be any extensive civilian restrictions on use of H-fuel, rationing, that sort of thing? And will all exports of H-fuel and Plutonium be restricted? An is the rhetoric against the GMG not hypocritical, considering the tone taken by the Kusari government during the Sigma-13 incident, which ran along very similar lines?"
gone four years, first day back: Zoners still getting shot in Theta :|
Our beloved Empeor, are the Black Dragons supposed to stop every ship heading to one of the GMG ship even if it's vessel from one of the foreign companies?

Let me be clear, there is no "new offensive." The KNF is being sent into the Sigmas to protect civilian shipping and Planet Kurile. This is not an offensive operation, we are not looking to attack bases or holdings in the Sigmas, we are defending our citizens, which is the highest responsibility of any government. As I said, we have 2 years worth of Hfuel reserve, for the KNF, KSP as well as to ship to Rhienland as per our current deals. At the moment there is no need for any rationing, and we hope that the GMG will come to its senses well before that ever becomes a problem.
As for export restrictions, the Council of the Risings Suns is discussing that along with other issues at the moment.
Our beloved Empeor, are the Black Dragons supposed to stop every ship heading to one of the GMG ship even if it's vessel from one of the foreign companies?
*she bows*
Honorable Kusari civilians who wish to aid our nation, as always should contact the KNF or KSP to be giving civil defense tasks that will be of most aid. As always, it warms my heart to see the unwavering spirit of the people of Kusari in times of trouble, and their will to defend Kusari at all costs.
The reporter listened to a call, nodding quietly. "Emperor, already there has been an incident regarding foreign shipping being harassed. Can companies such as Interspace Commerce, which is deeply involved with the GMG and the Okinawa system, expect to encounter hostilities? Will any embargo against the GMG be put into place? Will the Okinawa system be blockaded?"

I would think that companies that aid terrorists should expect a higher level of scrutiny in Kusari. As for blockades and embargoes, as I said, those things are being discussed by the Council of the Rising Suns and the leadership of the KNF and KSP.
