Nodoka and Honya both listen along to Mei's story. "I know that feeling. What with being from Terra, When I arrived and fled Kusari, I felt like my life had started again. All I had was Honya and Bride, the two of them kept me sane, kept me living. I was aimless, yes, but Nowadays I have drive, I have a purpose in life. I want to return to Kusari and give those bastards in the Keisatsu-cho and Kaigun a act of Revenge they'll never forget. Something that will leave those two whinging keiretsu shaking in their boots after Kishiro did to me, and what Samura did to Kusari. I want to take the battle to all of them. I may not agree entirely with the political ideals of the Dragons, but that Isn't to say I'm against collaborating with them, as long they mean what is best for Kusari - As long as they don't turn Kusari into the Core, bunch of totalitarian megalomanaics that they are.. or start acting like Golanski did to the Zoners and start threatening dissidents with genocide..." She stops and looks out the window, watching the occasional ship fly by. "I know the Dragons and Order are close allies, and, if it weren't for Golly, I wouldn't be as concerned about it as I am. Like I said before, I used to admire the valor and bravery of the Order until I experienced what Golanski was like. When I spoke to your superiors they automatically assumed I was playing nice with the Core and that I had much choice in the matter. With Enma and now that man Archos at the helm of the Core, the reaction to Freeport 11 rescinding its' agreements with them would range from a sour distaste with us to out right hostility, and given how Kyu screwed over the Order a while back, I doubt they'd help us. It's not that we don't want to tell the Core to sod off, it's just that we have no choice. They'll turn on us, and then the Nomads will mop us up. Honestly, we've been discussing a vote of no confidence in the CoF so we can go ahead and put in motion an action to evacuate the Freeport and scuttle it. A Freeport doesn't belong in a place like that. too much aggression, too much tension and drama."
