Konbanwa honorable allies,

It has been a while since we last had contact, but we request your assistence. One of our novice Sisters was left stranded on Allentown Station in Pennsylvania after our convoy had departed from the system. We had the LSF chasing us all the way from Liberty into Taus before we could shake them off. Sadly, Akiyama-san is still on the station.

Liberty is unknown to her and letting her make her own way back to Kusari is out of the question. Therefore we want to request that the Lane Hackers could give her safe passage towards either Leiden or Morioka. According to her last message, there is a little haste involved. She is low on cardamine and she sounds distressed.

We hope to hear a quick reply

Sincere greetings. Name's Spike Lester, Lane Hackers' Inner Circle, ranked Deceiver.

We can indeed help your fellow stranded sister make her way back to Kusari, sister Yume. Do count on us, she'll get home safely - and, should her need of a Cardamine dose arise on the way back, our operatives will provide her with adequate cardamine doses.

However, the presence of a GC - you'll understand my curiosity here - in a place like Allentown, which is definetly a ways from your usual area...Let's say it raised a few eyebrows. You know, it's not everyday a GC convoy passes through there of all places - would you like to share some more information on this convoy of yours?

Lastly, the Lane Hackers are always interested in helping out our allies, just so you know. I'd like to iterate our willingness to expand our cooperation on other fields, including joint operations against our enemies.

Kind regards,
Spike Lester

Nice to meet you, Mister Lester,

We are pleased to hear that you are willing to help us with this predicament. Sister Akiyama has been informed that the Lane Hackers will escort her back to the border of Kusari space.

firearms are always the fuel of revolutions. We import most of our weapons from outside of Kusari and this time we visited Allentown and struck a good deal there. Sadly the presence of the Liberty law enforcement caused our convoy to be in disarray. We made it out intact, but sadly without one of our Sisters. Perhaps we can offer you a crate or two for the trouble of bringing our stranded Sister back to us.

We haven't forgotten the support of the Lane Hackers during the battle for Kinkaku-ji. We will certainly consider this offer.

I am now opening the channel to Sister Akiyama.

<Channel now open to frequency 46532-4353F-DD32E-drA21-33412>

Sister Akiyama, do you copy?
How are you holding up? Status on cardamine supply and your general situation.
This channel is open to the Lane Hackers. They agreed to escort you back to the Kusari border.

Thank you so much for reaching out to me, Sister Rin. I am touched by the concern you have for your fellow Sister. I have received your communication regarding assistance from our Lane Hacker allies. It brings me honor to hear that such noble friends would risk their lives for my safety.

I have to say that by the time any help arrives, I will have exhausted my supply of Cardamine. If the Lane Hackers can provide some in time, I will survive the trip back home.

The Junkers and I have reached an understanding after I showed one of them the sharp end of my katana. It seems they are quick learners. I do not expect any further trouble from them. By far, the majority have treated me with respect.

However, my overall situation is dire. I will await word from our Hacker friends on this channel. Please hurry.

Sincere greetings, sister Akiyama. I'll be very brief.

As of this message, I'm headed to Allentown myself.

And worry not about Cardamine: I'll bring an extra dose for you. Should you require more, our operatives will be providing you with adequate doses.

Meet you at Allentown,
Spike Lester
