Diplomacy is such a fun thing. You get to meet new people, talk about how much you like and hate other people, talk about your interests, and if you're lucky, you get interrupted by interlopers from another faction which you then have to run from.
Clan Kijima, to be precise. Whilst talking with Akemi Ando from.. well, Clan Ando - One of their men, Victor Kijima, apparently decided to be a smart acre and interrupt our talks. And to top it all off, the Kirishima, Ando's ship, failed to jump ours. Not that I'm mad at her, the Mendicant Didact is a pretty.. unique ship - so I'm not surprised in the slightest that she couldn't be jumped out.
Afterwards we tried to flee, only for Kijima to open fire with disruptors and, well, as protocol dictates in the H.D.A.D., We had to open fire in response, Once he put two and two together, the prick screwed off, knowing that the engagement wouldn't bear favorable fruit for either party. Given that the Kijima clan seems to have a lack of realization that "Curiosity kills the cat", I don't think we'll be touching them with a barge pole. Ando, however, has brought most favorable fruit, in the proverbial sense - to the table. I genuinely like Homura, and I'm wanting to see to it that we can do our best to save Sakurai Augus, even if it comes to putting her brain in a jar and converting her into an AI.
Meanwhile, Auxesia is being Auxesia and frankly I'm getting irritated with their constant lack of response. I understand they've got a lot of crap on their plate, but nearly over a week of no response without even a notice that they've recieved it is a bit much.
As for our other diplomatic front with Natio Octavarium, Honya has been charged with diplomatic affairs to them as Kobayashi requested a week off. After the mess that was today, I don't blame her. Harold Kane seems like a very fine man that I'd love to get to know sometime. As for the Crayterians.. I have my concerns. I still remember the stories Leviathan told about how Auxesia was screwed over by the Crayter Military. I'll probably have Alexei act as delegation. I know he doesn't really do diplomacy, but I've got enough on my plate as is, and again, Hakugyokrou's commander is on leave.
