Konnichiwa Mr. Joker,
I had an interesting encounter with one of your lackeys today who I found just outside of planet Kyushu, in the Kyushu system. A rather rude and not very intelligent fellow going by the name of "Bully". I asked him to stop and explain his presence in our space, he refused. I followed him all the way from the planet to just inside of New Tokyo where another one of our ships cut him off. He still refused to say anything other than snide remarks. I have complete comm logs and scans of the incident if you wish to see them. For security reasons I will only send them directly to you on an encoded frequency. You may not have heard anything about this yet since I left him with an almost totally destroyed ship out in the middle of nowhere. It will probably take him quite some time to make his way back to friendly space.
Here's my issue with all of this. We acquire a new ship for you, we go out of our way to assist you when no one else will, and this is the kind of treatment we get from your people? Stealing ships out from under Kishiro's nose is not exactly an easy task. For all that what do we get? Complete disrespect in our own house. If you don't deal with this fool, we will. And on that note, if you don't deal with him then we are going to have reconsider any future business deals with you. If I had my choice on the matter I would have him gutted like a fish but of course I will leave the creative details up to you. A person like this will prove to be nothing but trouble for you in the long run.
We are all in need of support, no one can operate without it. Especially a group like yours that is generally disliked by just about everyone. In the interest of maintaining an amicable relationship with you we expect at least a formal apology from Bully, and we expect him to recoup the losses in fuel and ammunition that the whole charade cost us.
[font=Trebuchet Ms]You go it all wrong, [color=#33CC00]Kumicho Hitomey. First of all, [color=#33CC00]get your facts straight - this is how Kishiro lost their ship,an experiment which went wrong. I simply found the ship and repaired it. That is, one of my thuggies found it.
But for the sake of argument let's say that you "helped" me get it. Then would you mind please explaining to me how exactly is that you helped? If you did, why did we find it and not someone else? How come I find about your version only now? It's because what I'm telling you are actual facts.
Furthermore, in Kusari we've only met two friendlies up till now; Blood Dragons and GCs and they're certainly not in good relations with you - Black Society fellas. And even if they were in good relations with you, why would I treat you with respect? You're in bed with Sairs, yes?
Don't get me all wrong. I actually have nothing against you nor Sairs who we raided several times just to to show our friendly face to Outcasts who, then again, tricked us in the end. Long and complicated story.
We go everywhere and do whatever we please. We make friends but we make enemies a lot more often. Who cares? It's important that is always so much fun! That explains it why Bully was in Kyushu.
You want apologies? Good relations with me? Not a wise choice, for you I mean. Benitez wouldn't like that. Besides, Black Dragoons and GCs seemed ok and they greeted us nicely when we visited New Tokyo on one occasion.
For being in a spy business, you're too poorly informed. So... what say you now?
