Well, it's been a while since I've used this thingamajig. Work has been progressing steadily, and I've been focusing more on handling the catches of this month, while Hebishima-kun has taken care of almost all of the work in... everywhere else.
Regarding those jobs that need to be done, I've heard some of the lads in the Association have started doing their part, mostly in relation to our close neighbors.
3100 units of Artifacts landed on the Lane Hacker base on the path to Liberty. An equal number of Counterfeit Software returned, and was shipped to Kabukicho for their destinations.
Later on, another set of 2900 Artifact crates was delivered to Leiden. The transport Takamatsu picked up some newly shipped Light Arms from the Hackers, to be shipped elsewhere.
That is all so far, from what I've heard.
May the Fortunes secure your path to greatness.

As you may know, I am a quite new addition to the main body of glorious Hogosha Association. Today was my first shipping operation, in which "Mimasaka" has been under my command and Kyushu Rice was a package (3200 units). The shift on this ship had been nice and lazy, until the strange object appeared on my scanners. I have never met something like that, so I kept my crew on full alert, but it seemingly did not had any hostile attitude.
Moreover, it started to speak some gibberish, but word after word I could understand it. "It" noted... itself to be a young... something. After it announced itself, it flew around me a few times and simply disappeared, to be found nowhere. It simply, disappeared. But that encounted hadn't clouded my mind and the shipment was safely delivered to Planet Baden Baden, and hefty earn have been achieved . No other events distrurbed the belated flight.
<<failed to load delivery log>>
At the moment, Mimasaka is resting around Planet Stuttgart, awaiting launch and then delivery of Blue Jillies to Planet Junyo in Shikoku.
I would also, if bosses would allow this, humbly offer my help in expansion of the Association's business in Rheinland, as I am not entirely sure if the given requirements and goals for Rheinland deliveries were achieved or not (Goal 6 and Goal 7).

While I was flying around in my private fighter, I came across a very interesting target - an IMG IFF fighter, heavily damaged (engine failure), which was naive enough to be lured into Rishiri. Primarily, I wanted simply to rip-off the guy... but then, the other idea came out. I simply made that pilot an offer: being hired by Hogosha Association. I already warned him not to work for others, but then Edo-kun (using this name, since his name is quite unprouncounceable for me) shared the conclussion he won't work for filth. Here are the logs.
[06.12.2015 23:16:06] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Woah there, hold on for a second.
[06.12.2015 23:16:14] Scout-101: yes?
[06.12.2015 23:16:23] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Ah, a Freelancer.
[06.12.2015 23:16:33] Scout-101: aye, sir, I heed help.
[06.12.2015 23:16:35] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: I think these pirates will be more safe in... Hogosha hands.
[06.12.2015 23:16:41] Scout-101: my engine gives out strange sounds.
[06.12.2015 23:17:13] Scout-101: after facing those GCs in t23 i start getting signals of fuel leak
[06.12.2015 23:17:25] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Ahhh, yeah. Damn feminists.
[06.12.2015 23:17:34] Scout-101: aaand, the sounds, rattle and occasional sparks from behind
[06.12.2015 23:17:37] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: They have no place in Kusari whatsover.
[06.12.2015 23:17:44] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Mmmm... I'm no engineer, mind me.
[06.12.2015 23:17:55] Scout-101: yeah, but can you direct me to a facility for repairs or replacement?
[06.12.2015 23:18:10] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Surely, for these two GC pilots.
[06.12.2015 23:18:12] Scout-101: i dont want that engine melted when on my way to Rheinland though
[06.12.2015 23:18:31] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Rheinland, eh?
[06.12.2015 23:18:49] Scout-101: sure, there, no use of them ...
[06.12.2015 23:18:54] Scout-101: oh why so harsh!
[06.12.2015 23:18:56] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Yeah, oops. I forgot we kill them.
[06.12.2015 23:18:58] Scout-101: they're people too
[06.12.2015 23:19:05] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: They are low-lifes.
[06.12.2015 23:19:11] /fi scout-
[06.12.2015 23:19:13] Scout-101: low life people.
[06.12.2015 23:19:18] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: And?
[06.12.2015 23:19:23] Scout-101: they got rights too
[06.12.2015 23:19:29] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: They are worthly less than slaves.
[06.12.2015 23:19:50] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: I can direct you to one repair facility, if you want.
[06.12.2015 23:19:50] Scout-101: wait a sec, i thought oly outcasts were slavers
[06.12.2015 23:19:57] Scout-101: yes, sure, please do
[06.12.2015 23:20:05] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Please, do follow.
[06.12.2015 23:20:42] Scout-101: *sparks coming out from behind*
[06.12.2015 23:21:00] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Just a little more, sweety.
[06.12.2015 23:21:34] Scout-101: it's getting hot in there
[06.12.2015 23:21:43] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Calm down.
[06.12.2015 23:22:05] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: I'm making sure your ship will be repaired in the best place.
[06.12.2015 23:22:43] Scout-101: err, so what about the slave thing, I thought you mentioned GCs could be as good as slaves.
[06.12.2015 23:22:53] Scout-101: *bad smell fills the cockpit*
[06.12.2015 23:22:56] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: *Coughs.* I did mention nothing, did I?
[06.12.2015 23:23:14] Scout-101: you did.
[06.12.2015 23:23:18] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Oh.
[06.12.2015 23:23:21] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Well, in this case.
[06.12.2015 23:23:37] Scout-101: of course I have no bad intentions, just broadening my view on this place Kusari.
[06.12.2015 23:23:49] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Oh, but I said nothing about you.
[06.12.2015 23:24:03] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Do not worry... outsiders are... quite welcome to Kusari.
[06.12.2015 23:24:35] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: It goes a bit harsh in here, but we are close.
[06.12.2015 23:24:51] Scout-101: yes, but the place where we are going is important. whats the name of the facility?
[06.12.2015 23:25:04] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Oh, you will see soon enough.
[06.12.2015 23:25:12] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Soon... Heheheh.
[06.12.2015 23:25:32] Scout-101: *geiger counter beeps* that doesn't sound good, reactor meltdown is possible, let's hurry
[06.12.2015 23:25:38] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Indeed. Let us.
[06.12.2015 23:26:25] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Now now.
[06.12.2015 23:26:32] Scout-101: umm, yes?
[06.12.2015 23:26:44] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: I have the upper hand now.
[06.12.2015 23:26:49] Scout-101: it is getting really hot here
[06.12.2015 23:26:50] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: *He smiles a bit.*
[06.12.2015 23:26:54] Scout-101: um?
[06.12.2015 23:27:10] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Now... Please do fill a one check for me, just mere one million credits.
[06.12.2015 23:27:17] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Let's call it... your ticket into survival.
[06.12.2015 23:27:31] Scout-101: oh so that's how it turns out?
[06.12.2015 23:27:36] Scout-101: all about the damned money?
[06.12.2015 23:27:39] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: *Says nothing.*
[06.12.2015 23:27:54] Scout-101: i am about to have an engine meltdown!
[06.12.2015 23:27:58] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: And?
[06.12.2015 23:28:18] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: But then, you see how... your safety is... crucial for you.
[06.12.2015 23:28:20] Scout-101: you promised to help! and what comes out of it? world sucks, don't trust people?
[06.12.2015 23:28:34] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Don't get me wrong. I'm a businessman.
[06.12.2015 23:28:35] Scout-101: my safety is not of a big importance.
[06.12.2015 23:28:53] Scout-101: something that I am carrying, its importance is high enough
[06.12.2015 23:28:56] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Your ship is slowly going critical.
[06.12.2015 23:29:05] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Isn't it?
[06.12.2015 23:29:24] Scout-101: well the dashboard indeed looks like a christmas tree.
[06.12.2015 23:29:33] Scout-101: but tust is important
[06.12.2015 23:29:36] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: *Crosses his arms.*
[06.12.2015 23:29:37] Scout-101: trust*
[06.12.2015 23:29:55] Scout-101: if the amount was for a new engine I'd gladly try to scrape a bit
[06.12.2015 23:29:56] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: It is. I can make you an offer, which cannot be refused.
[06.12.2015 23:30:12] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: I have better idea.
[06.12.2015 23:30:28] Scout-101: that would be?
[06.12.2015 23:30:36] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: 500 000 credits. Let's halve it... and you might be hired for the Hogosha services.
[06.12.2015 23:30:45] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Not just for once.
[06.12.2015 23:30:50] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: You will be our... underdog.
[06.12.2015 23:31:11] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Or a spy. Or whatever bosses would do.
[06.12.2015 23:31:32] Scout-101: whoa whoa whoa, i don't see a brand new engine before my eyes, and you also propose me, a freelancer to pay to do a job?
[06.12.2015 23:31:43] Scout-101: *dashboard starts smelling really bad*
[06.12.2015 23:31:48] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Hmmmm...
[06.12.2015 23:32:01] Scout-101: alright alright
[06.12.2015 23:32:06] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: I can always turn you into ashes, but that wouldn't make yourself pretty useful.
[06.12.2015 23:32:06] Scout-101: lust get me a new engine
[06.12.2015 23:32:19] Scout-101: ashes?
[06.12.2015 23:32:20] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Granted.
[06.12.2015 23:32:33] Scout-101: my engine will turn me into ashes faster than you.
[06.12.2015 23:32:46] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Well then.
[06.12.2015 23:32:52] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Come for Misaki.
[06.12.2015 23:33:10] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: But hear this: you will work for Hogosha.
[06.12.2015 23:33:18] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Betrayal won't be... accepted.
[06.12.2015 23:33:44] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Do land on Misaki, gaijin.
[06.12.2015 23:33:52] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: They will give you a new engine.
[06.12.2015 23:34:16] Scout-101: alright, thank you. arigato, whatever. by the way
[06.12.2015 23:34:29] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Consider it... a gift from Hogosha Association. But you must know one rule.
[06.12.2015 23:34:31] Scout-101: am I getting something in return for thing that you need me to do?
[06.12.2015 23:34:37] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Nothing comes for free.
[06.12.2015 23:34:54] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Life. A wage perhaps, of course unofficial one.
<<<Freelancer has landed on Misaki Station>>>
[06.12.2015 23:36:26] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: What is your name, Freelancer?
[06.12.2015 23:37:31] Scout-101: well Imeddine is written on my card *passes an E-card*
[06.12.2015 23:37:48] Scout-101: Imeddine Hoth
[06.12.2015 23:37:50] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: What kind of... name is this? *Raises his eyebrow.*
[06.12.2015 23:37:54] Scout-101: umm
[06.12.2015 23:38:31] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Sounds pretty... outlandish.
[06.12.2015 23:38:41] Scout-101: that's because I am a "gaijin" right?
[06.12.2015 23:38:56] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Even more outlandish than that. Sounds like a Zoner name.
[06.12.2015 23:38:59] Scout-101: *Misaki facilities are sounding with a nuclear meltdown alarm*
[06.12.2015 23:39:37] Scout-101: hahahah, I have nothing common with them. I was born on a hard strong land, not on one of those stations.
[06.12.2015 23:39:45] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Good.
[06.12.2015 23:40:08] Scout-101: oh, seems like they are getting busy
[06.12.2015 23:41:03] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: As for the work, mmm... It's not one-shot job.
[06.12.2015 23:41:55] Scout-101: oh right
[06.12.2015 23:41:59] Scout-101: tell me more about it
[06.12.2015 23:42:06] Scout-101: is it risk ivolving?
[06.12.2015 23:42:21] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: It is, if you aren't careful.
[06.12.2015 23:42:51] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: But I see you have a light ship. Unfancy for combat, but pretty useful for... spying.
[06.12.2015 23:43:18] Scout-101: oh believe me, it does well in combat, despite the engine that's being replaced. it will be fully operational shortly I suppose
[06.12.2015 23:43:33] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Ah.
[06.12.2015 23:43:54] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: And, get rids of that IMG IFF at one time.
[06.12.2015 23:44:30] Scout-101: why's that?
[06.12.2015 23:44:32] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: You made quite a mess in there, gaijin.
<<<Samuran freighter leaves away from Misaki.>>>
[06.12.2015 23:44:35] Scout-101: i worked for them
[06.12.2015 23:44:41] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Oh.
[06.12.2015 23:44:45] Scout-101: once
[06.12.2015 23:44:45] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: That's "worked".
[06.12.2015 23:44:51] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: You no longer work for them.
[06.12.2015 23:45:09] Scout-101: okay okay, twice, just to clear those GC facilities and probes around the Taus
<<<Samuran freighter no longer in scanner range. Reason: explosion.>
[06.12.2015 23:45:40] Scout-101: i wonder what that was, check the news feed.
[06.12.2015 23:45:45] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: ... Now.
[06.12.2015 23:45:56] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: I'm afraid you owe a bit more than mere services.
[06.12.2015 23:46:00] Scout-101: sooo, you really need me to clear the papers with IMG?
[06.12.2015 23:46:17] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Mmmmhmmm.
[06.12.2015 23:46:41] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: From now on, you work for the Association as a hired pilot.
[06.12.2015 23:46:55] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Since your finacial situation went a bit... complicated.
[06.12.2015 23:47:05] Scout-101: yeah yeah, you saved my lovely piece of junk, here's my savings. alright?
[06.12.2015 23:47:11] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: No need.
[06.12.2015 23:47:15] Scout-101: really?
[06.12.2015 23:47:18] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Yep.
[06.12.2015 23:47:27] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: You will... need these money.
[06.12.2015 23:47:43] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: But... keep one thing in your mind.
[06.12.2015 23:47:58] Scout-101: ah yes, the personnel that is currently under my ships hull probably needs a reward for the mess...
[06.12.2015 23:48:03] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: You will work for Hogosha. Not for Kishiro, Junkers, Bounty Hunters.
[06.12.2015 23:48:15] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: For us.
[06.12.2015 23:48:19] Scout-101: whoa, I'd never work for junkers.
[06.12.2015 23:48:32] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Good. Then I do believe we will have something in common.
[06.12.2015 23:48:58] Scout-101: I suppose. *engines starting*[06.12.2015 23:50:49] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: So, mister...?
[06.12.2015 23:51:11] Scout-101: Imeddine Hoth, Imed.
[06.12.2015 23:51:23] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: So Mr Hoth.
[06.12.2015 23:51:25] Scout-101: or simply Ed
[06.12.2015 23:51:42] Scout-101: some people get choked while pronouncing.
[06.12.2015 23:51:46] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: *Raises his eyebrow.* Edo-kun. Might fit ya.
[06.12.2015 23:52:08] Scout-101: that'll do I suppose.
[06.12.2015 23:52:23] Scout-101: *undocks from Misaki* all good as new!
[06.12.2015 23:52:39] Scout-101: *revvs a bit*'
[06.12.2015 23:52:41] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: So, Edo-kun. While I have no ability to introduce you into the Association, other thing will do.
[06.12.2015 23:53:03] Scout-101: and the thing is?
[06.12.2015 23:53:07] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: How would you feel to fly under, how they used to say, a Hogosha flag?
[06.12.2015 23:54:13] Scout-101: I agreed to do a certain job for your organization, sir. i have no idea on your goals or background, I haven't been to Kusari
[06.12.2015 23:54:15] Scout-101: before.
[06.12.2015 23:54:23] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: You might learn in time.
[06.12.2015 23:54:29] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: For now, we need a hiregun.
[06.12.2015 23:54:42] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Or rather, a hire-ear.
[06.12.2015 23:54:45] Scout-101: let me fly as a hiregun then, I am satisfied with that.
[06.12.2015 23:54:54] Scout-101: hire-whatever
[06.12.2015 23:55:16] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Mmmm... One thing would do.
[06.12.2015 23:56:36] Scout-101: and it'd involve some missions
[06.12.2015 23:56:50] ERR PM sender not available
[06.12.2015 23:57:00] Scout-101: uh-um, alright, just need to make some adjustments
[06.12.2015 23:57:04] Scout-101: of my papers...
[06.12.2015 23:58:16] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Hm. That couldn't be an issue.
[06.12.2015 23:58:56] Scout-101: do you have required connections?
[06.12.2015 23:59:35] Scout-101: oh, oh, I know a place that might help, it's quite deep within Liberty smuggling routes, ever heard of it?
[06.12.2015 23:59:46] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Barrier Gate, of course I did.
[06.12.2015 23:59:59] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: The fact we don't like outsiders much doesn't mean we are ignorant.
[07.12.2015 00:00:02] Scout-101: passed there a few times
[07.12.2015 00:00:14] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: But then... remember one thing.
[07.12.2015 00:00:22] Scout-101: your non ignorance was proven with your help with my engine.
[07.12.2015 00:00:26] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: You work for Hogosha.
[07.12.2015 00:00:32] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Hm.
[07.12.2015 00:00:38] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: I consider it as... appreciation.
[07.12.2015 00:00:53] Scout-101: I value compassion.
[07.12.2015 00:01:08] Scout-101: but your people should work more on it towards your enemies.
[07.12.2015 00:01:11] Scout-101: forget it
[07.12.2015 00:01:19] Scout-101: just thinking loudly
[07.12.2015 00:01:25] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Mmm. You might find it in our little family, even if you are... not Kusari.
[07.12.2015 00:01:36] Scout-101: alright, the engine sounds like a Honda *revvs*
[07.12.2015 00:02:07] Scout-101: we shall see, shall I set my route to barrier gate?
[07.12.2015 00:02:07] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Hogosha is grateful for their friends. But are acid for enemies and traitors. Bear it in mind.
[07.12.2015 00:02:12] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Do it.
[07.12.2015 00:02:32] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: And contact me on the Neural Net. I will gladly forward it to my bosses.
[07.12.2015 00:02:56] Scout-101: *date read complete, setting course to Coronado* alright, the voyage will take awhile
[07.12.2015 00:03:05] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Because price for a bretrayal...
[07.12.2015 00:03:09] Scout-101: *revvs a lil more*
[07.12.2015 00:03:15] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Means this.
[07.12.2015 00:03:22] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Are we clear?
[07.12.2015 00:03:23] Scout-101: I am not an asshole, sir
[07.12.2015 00:03:26] 2015-12-07 00:03:26 SMT Traffic control alert: [HA]Sohei.Mishima has requested to dock
[07.12.2015 00:03:31] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Good.
[07.12.2015 00:03:41] [HA]Sohei.Mishima: Contact me on NN then.
I've lead him into Misaki Station, where he landed and his engine was replaced. However, he caused one Samura freighter to be destroyed, althrough it was fault of broken engine. Something like this wouldn't happen to the superior Kusari technology, I assume. The Samuran pilots were brought back safely for Misaki Station, but it made our Edo-kun actually indebted towards Samura.
Then, the things became clear. I already warned our little friend about eventual repercussions in case of betrayal. He will note me in NN message soon, which I will gladly forward to our bosses.

Konbanwa, bosses and brethen.
I have made serveral shipments from and into Kusari, tighting our relations with respected partners in Rheinland. Whilst I do not believe I made great achievements for the Association and Families, I still do my best for Hogosha. During the last shipping, the hireling I've spoken about escorted me from Rheinland into Kusari, but thankfully no GMG thugs were present.
Shipments (in total):
- Pearls (9447; export into Rheinland)
- Rheinbier (9447; interim shipping)
- Blue Jillies (9447; import into Kusari)
<<1x Pearl and 1x Rheinbier deliveries missing from the logs. Corrupted file?>>>
I hope these marginal efforts will do some good both for Hogosha and Kusari. Given that our Rheinland clients are now more familiar with me, I am prepared to fulfill Goal 6.

Kon’nichiwa to everybody,
I’m contacting all of you today in regard of a possible theft that might have occurred. About half an hour or so, while I was in orbit of planet New Tokyo, a certain transport ship passed nearby. A freelancer was flying a Raba transport. When I tried to call out to him and question how he came into possession of the craft, he not only didn’t stop but continued with his docking to the trade lane. The automatic name transmission identified him as “Hacki”.
I did not have the possibility to record scan logs at the moment, but I hope this information is useful in tracking and possibly discovering the truth about this matter.

Greetings, ladies and gentlemen of the Hogosha Association.
My name is Larry Macduff. I'd like to request the permission to purchase one of your 'Irezumi' VHF craft.
I am rather interested in it, due to its performance.
While waiting your response, I bid you farewell and good work.

Konbanwa my youngins, how have you all been? It has been a while since I passed by through these networks of the Association, bearing good news.
And good news I bring, once again. Praise to the Fortunes.
Our constant work in the breeding reefs in Junyo has blessed us with the most beautiful catch of Junyo Pearls in recent decades. So mesmerizing they are, that the Samura request to have the Junyo Fire Pearl brand as a recognized natural and cultural asset of Shikoku has been recognized by the government, allowing us and them to start selling and shipping said apex of Kusari oceanic expertise to elite customers all over Sirius.
Such an occasion for celebration, that we commemorated the first voyage of the Takarabune to promote our most valuable commercial asset to date, by taking a shipment of Fire Pearls to the premium Samura emporium on Tomioka spaceport. Even with the threat of Blood Dragons trying to blockade the spaceport with their cheap ships and disposable crew, Samura investors were still very eager to get a glimpse on the new Junyo product, and spend a few millions in getting one of these rarities.
May the Fortunes bless their souls, as they have blessed our seas, and our pockets.
The Fisherman.

Good evening associates, Hebishima here.
In the past days I have made a visit to the esteemed neighbours of the south border, the Lane Hackers, and met with one of their representatives, Mr. Yoshida. I believe he has quite a name amongst many of the Hogosha, due to his most frequent interest and contact with our kind.
I went to their nearest hideout and we have discussed some matters of politics and trade, and I believe we have some agreements that can be worked with from now on.
The Hackers were most concerned with the recent developments in Kusari, and to my surprise, Mr. Yoshida advocated an appeasement and collaboration with the Imperial movement. An odd choice, considering their more long-standing relation with the Golden Chrysanthemums, but I guess they are gonna play both sides to press on the current regime.
They requested us, or just me, to make negotiations with the Exiles on their behalf, and arrange a... non aggression pact between them. That in itself gives us no harm or good in itself, but I made sure to correct that situation.
I have negotiated with Mr. Yoshida an increase of our share in their arms smuggling business in Kusari, in exchange for our efforts with the exiles. About 70% of their Kusari arms and munitions trade will be directed to us, once we have the exile agreement signed.
I've also made a compromise to increase our h-fuel smuggling to them. It is justifiable, since they are paying well for it.
A secured supply from the Hackers, combined with our efforts in rheinland shipping, would give us a majority in the underworld arms trade in Kusari. We would just have to deal with the competition that would remain from the other libertonians.
The Takarabune remains committed to the expansion and development of the Association, and would like to see the other syndicates and Associations double our efforts through their own means, for a safer Kusari.
May the Fortunes grant us all fair winds and safe travels.
