Bonjour Kusarians, it has been awhile since we have spoken. In case you don't remember me, I am Chantal Proulx, Reine of Les Salopards. A number of years ago some of your people bought Nox and Hypotainment Bands from us. Unfortunately we had to stop exports when we started to focus more on Gallia itself. But now we are ready to export some of our fine Gallic goods.
Our previous deal had us bringing goods to Golden Dragon Casino and Kamakura Base. These two places are still charted for us and will still be fine, but we can also deliver to your other bases. What you do with the goods from there is your business. Distribute them through Kusari, take them to whatever contacts you have outside of Kusari, we don't care. But we can assure you that the quality will be as high as it was before. As for what leaves your bases, we can work with what the local dock masters have to offer. What do you say, want to strike another deal?
Allow me a brief introduction of the organization I have the pleasure to represent. You clearly dealt with other Hogosha Syndicates in the past, most likely the Hogosha Association. Unfortunate events led to their decline in power and the growth of the Hogosha Alliance.
We consist of three large Syndicates, with several subsidiaries spread all over Kusari and the neighboring systems.
The Nikkyo Consortium was founded by the Hogosha Alliance. We handle tasks seen unfit for an individual Family or Syndicate to take on.
I assume that 'Les Salopards' represents a group belonging to the Gallic Brigands, seeing how you are virtually the only Gallic underground organization known to have dealt with the Hogosha before.
The two primary locations of interest to you are in two different turfs. The Sumiyoshi Alliance might be your best call, they consider Kamakura as theirs and operate mainly within the Sigma Cluster.
The Golden Dragon is currently in the grip of the Majima Family. Striking a deal with them can be tough at times. I took the freedom to raise awareness about your inquiry towards the Oyabun of the Sumiyoshi Alliance.
We leave the rest to them. Expect a reply soon. If you require something of the Hogosha involving the following tasks:
Assassination,
Kidnapping,
Money laundering
then you are free to contact the Nikkyo Consortium directly.
I'm pleased to announce that the Sumiyoshi Alliance is more than willing to accept Hypotainment Bands on Kamakura. I reckon that this will benefit both of our organisations in regards to economy and mutual support.
NOX, however, is a different matter.
We are not particularly fond of having someone bring another drug into Hogosha Territory just like that. Yet, we are willing to make an exception based on the following conditions:
- A maximum of 30.000 units monthly, with proof sent to the Sumiyoshi Alliance through a separate channel
- The cargo is to be brought to Kamakura exclusively
- Any excess amount of NOX is to be confiscated, destroyed or otherwise handled by a member of the Hogosha Alliance
- Vehicles carrying NOX while passing through Kusari will be tolerated if the dropoff location is not within the Alliances Zone of Influence
Should your group agree to these conditions then we are more than willing to buy NOX to safely distribute and regulate it within Kusari.
- Signed: Furuya Tsuneo, Oyabun of the Sumiyoshi Alliance.
Last words are for fools who have not yet said enough.

Good day to you, Miss Chantal-san
I hope you don't mind this old man to say a few words regarding your communication. I was to have written to you sooner, but seems the young folks have went and said almost all that there was to be said, hehe. Good to see they're up to the task.
As the boys said, Nox is allowed to pass through Kusari, in our view. For distribution within Kusari however, we want it to remain tightly coordinated through our installations and networks, lest it becomes like another pestilence among the kusari populace like the cardamine is. We would prefer the supply secured, the customers happy, and eveyone's purse well stacked.
The Sumiyoshi proposal is sound, and I support it completely. I advise you to take it.
Bonjour messieurs, I'm happy to see that we're all willing to pick up where we left off.
Monsieur Sera, maybe I got too ahead of myself assuming that the new groups would know us during our isolation. But you are right, we are Brigands from Narbonne Base in Languedoc. Merci beaucoup for passing my message along. I'm unfamiliar with your power structure so you have been helpful. If we need any of your services you will be the first we call.
Monsieur Tsueno and Monsieur Fisherman, I have spoken to the other Patrons and your terms are acceptable. It is understandable wanting total control on the market within your territory, and as long as we have exclusive importing rights we can both benefit from this greatly. We will have production of Nox increased to meet these numbers and once it is ready for export we will contact you through a seperate channel. For now, you can expect our Hypotainment Bands to find their way to your home.
