Hey!

Long story short: I caught a couple of your boys in Sigma-13, and basically they suggested that I could make a lot of money by doing some sort of 'insider' stuff. I don't know what that means, but I'm definitely interested in los creditos, as they say down in Alpha.

Code:

[29.07.2014 17:19:34] Komachi.Kurosawa.: Not really too bothered about the "cause", to be honest.
[29.07.2014 17:19:38] Komachi.Kurosawa.: I just like making money.
[29.07.2014 17:19:49] Komachi.Kurosawa.: Something all three of us can agree on, hmm?
[29.07.2014 17:20:00] Kishiro|Jame.anderson: Indeed...Time is what matters after all!
[29.07.2014 17:20:08] Kishiro|Tommy.Lee: In that case you should contact us, we could use an insider around here. The payment is good too.
[29.07.2014 17:20:14] Kishiro|Tommy.Lee: As long as ofcourse, we keep this to ourselves.
[29.07.2014 17:20:17] Kishiro|Tommy.Lee: But thats another subject.
[29.07.2014 17:20:19] Komachi.Kurosawa.: An insider?
[29.07.2014 17:20:26] Komachi.Kurosawa.: What do you want me to inside?
[29.07.2014 17:20:35] Kishiro|Jame.anderson: You said..you just like to make some ...Credits aye?
[29.07.2014 17:20:39] Komachi.Kurosawa.: Yep!
[29.07.2014 17:20:39] Kishiro|Tommy.Lee: What inside. This conversation never happend.
[29.07.2014 17:20:46] Kishiro|Tommy.Lee: But the money did.
[29.07.2014 17:20:56] You have received 10.000.000 credits from Kishiro|Tommy.Lee
[29.07.2014 17:21:06] Komachi.Kurosawa.: Uh.
[29.07.2014 17:21:09] Komachi.Kurosawa.: O-kay?

Thanks for the ten million, by the way. I hadn't even gotten around to asking them! That's what I like to see. Looking forward to more of the same!

So, yeah! If there's anything you want me to do that involves me getting richer by doing it, then you should already be typing a reply! Straight-up donations are also accepted - in fact, they're preferable.

Expectantly,
-Komachi

We would prefer not to hear anything about any alleged outcast places in the future, but we see your point.
This conversation never took place, and we will most likely deny any involvement or contact with you if anyone starts sniffing around.
We've had a number of "accidents" with a local group of junkers, also known as the Marauders. We don't know much about that group, but what we do know is that they crawl within our territory and disrupt the flow of goods into Kusari. We don't have much information about their operation, but we can only assume they act like other salvagers and even take part in piracy. There are other sources to which we can contact and hire to acquire knowledge about them, but they are less reliable then it seems. Just to avoid any confusion here, we lay no trust in you at this point but may change in due time.
There are a few reports about a secretly run station within the Sigma-13 nebula that they seem to affiliate themselves with, A station under the name "Newport" - we would like you to try and find it and possibly give us more insight about it. Any information you can gather will be helpful.
We offer this in knowing that no one would suspect you to be aiding us, or any lawful faction in the region - which is why its the perfect cover.
In-exchange for this service, and ones that we may ask you to perform in the future, you will be rewarded generously.

Sincerely
Kishiro Board of Directors

Hey hey!

So. The Marauders, huh? Boy, did you come to the right girl. Those guys and I - we go way back. Relatively speaking, at least. We've had a 'business relationship' of sorts going on for the past half a year or so. No matter what you wanna know about them, I guarantee I'm the best girl outside the organisation itself to get you what you need.

This is the first I've heard of any "Newport", though - which is actually kind-of embarrassing. Don't worry, though, I've already mapped out a highly complex and comprehensive search pattern:

If it's there, I'll find it. You can count on Komachi! I'll even take a look around on board for you; have a chat with the locals and so forth. You know how it goes.

Speaking of counting, any chance of exact figures cropping up any time soon? Same goes for what kind of dirt you actually want dug up here with regards the Marauders. Give me an exact 'shopping list ' - on top of this whole Newport thing - and get me some nice numbers. Preferably big numbers.

Oh, and by the way - until I start seeing an incoming cashflow from your end, your convoys are still subject to all 'usual fees'. You guys aren't the only ones with trust issues - you get me? Call it a safety blanket for yours truly.

In any case, expect a followup comm soon. I'll find you this "Newport".

Regards,
-Komachi

Yo!

After following my highly structured and well-thought-out patrol, I came across something that looks very much like what you're looking for.

If it looks like a Newport Station, and identifies itself as 'Newport Station', then in my book it probably is Newport Station. Just to make sure, though, I docked and took a look around - and confirmed that it was, in fact, Newport Station.

That said, they don't really offer much in the way of - well, anything. According to the bartender (why does everywhere have a bar these days?), it's a repressurised wreck which used to be an old Junker station, now crewed and ran by a rather entrepreneurial and adventurous bunch of people of no particular allegiance. Honestly, it's a lot like most of the Freeports I've been on, except a lot smaller. It's surprisingly crowded for its size, though. I'd guess the population to be in the hundreds range. Quite a Corsair presence, too. I noticed two or three of them giving me the evil eye from across the bar. Maybe something you'd be interested in knowing.

There's the exact co-ordinates for you, in case you want to check it out yourselves. Not that you'd be missing much if you didn't; it's really quite a dump, although the locals are friendly enough.

Enjoy,
-Komachi

Well, You did good, we must admit we didn't think you are up for the task. Just to clear any doubt, were not picking up information about them for vicious reasons, rather for us to evaluate who they are.
And with your help I think we can get alot.
You'll find your account bigger now.




Sincerely, Kishiro Board of Directors.

All right!

Receipt of credits is confirmed! Pleasure doing business with KishiTech!

I have yet another assignment for you, one that requires secrecy and female touch. If you complete this mission, You will be rewarded with a monthly payment of twelve million sirius credits. Theres also a position opened just recently for our security departments, I can think of what you would say to this but people sometimes surprise you.

Confirm Assignment within 48 hours.

Arigato,

Um,

Yeah, I might have missed this one. Amazing what can slip through the cracks when your inbox is B-U-R-S-T-I-N-G, right?

Is this still on? I know we're kinda past the 48 hours - and kinda past 48 days, even - but how about we draw the line at "within 48 weeks", huh? You know what they say - something about fashion and being late, yeah?

Maybe I'll even give the security thing a go, just to make it up to you. Y'know, part time and all. Just find me a jumpsuit that fits, a nice shiny Chimmy to get behind and a key to an airlock on Shinagawa. I'll slip right in! Just don't expect me to kick my 'day job', so to speak. Tau-23 isn't gonna rip itself off, capiche? And I have a reputation to keep up.

I am serious about that, by the way. I'm sure even Kishiro has noticed how thin on the ground (or vacuum) traffic is these days. I barely even see a soul in Thirteen these days.

Of course, all that can come after I accomplish whatever daring, dangerous, and probably criminal mission you want to hand me big money for. Right?

Guiltily,
-Komachi

ihave yet another assignment for you. It is dangerous and you will probably be targeted instantly. We need eyes in Tohoku, Were not allowed to enter the system because of the dangerous nature of those who live in it, And were intrested to know more about any alien activity - Our hope is to validate claims of aliens and to attempt and capture one for research purposes, We are in the technology field as you may know. This is a recon mission, Don't be a hero and keep your eyes open. if you are captured or detained we will deny any involvement or your existence. Because of your recent success we feel that money is not the least we can give you and so we are giving you the oppurtunity to ask something else, Perhaps access to our shipyards or technology, Or anything you might think of.
Good luck.
Arigato.
