"Konbanwa, honorable Kazoku clan."
Kenji makes a respectful bow before continuing.
"My name is Kenji Shimizu. A while ago I have been a member of the group called Rising Sons. You surely had to hear about them. Back in time I made a request and only now it have been done. A Kagutsuchi class cruiser named "Akai Ryuu". While I am able to find a secondary crew members for a ship, I have a problems finding officers and a support for a vessels maintence. Thus I ask if you may be interested in filling those holes, in exchange of capable cruiser with one of the best captains joining your deeds."
Our collective resources are thin, I am certain you've noticed this yourself. However, I am with no doubt glad that you've managed to procure a fully operational Kagutsuchi, and I believe it will be a great addition to our collective fleet in the days to come.
Yet another anniversary of our plight draws close, this one I dare say even more important than those before it. Five hundred years of blood and suffering, and we must make sure to apply more heat to our enemies than ever before.
We are able to spare some capable officers for your endeavour Shimizu-san, but do tell me, is there something specific that you are trying to achieve?

Kenji speaks with a very satisfied voice.
"That is good to hear, Watanabe-sama. Preticularly I do not chase any target. I require a vessel for my operations."
For a second he smirks.
"Also I want to bring a useful person to our side. But that is another case. Funding from Rising Sons have been cut, so I am in need of another 'sponsor'. Hope you do not mind to be one."
Subsidies are not a problem, it wouldn't be the first time we gave them out. Figuratively speaking of course, we do expect results in return.
I am certain you understand the dangers involved with operating a captial class vessel deep within Kusari space, particularly the danger of its loss and to a lesser extent the loss of the crew.
*he unbuckles the button on his collar, cracks his neck and reclines back into his chair*
This one person you speak of though...who is he or she?

"Watanabe-sama. I am aware of the risks and prepared for them. But the same goes to you too, considering that this ship is open for your use too. As for your question..."
Kenji smirks.
"You probably met that person already. His name is Tetsuo Shimizu."
