Greetings, esteemed associates. Shinsuke Kobayashi, reporing in.

I have been busy those days, and since now I have a spare moment, I'll report what did happen.

My Drone, the Seiun.Maru, was unoperative after some engine issues I noticed during its trial flight. As of this, I first asked the quartermaster on Kabukicho to try to fix it. He succeded optimally. After this quick fix, I brought Kyushu Rice to our Corsair friends on Crete and brought back top-quality Artifacts, sorted after they were unloaded on Kabukicho. It appeares my cam didn't record the sale of the Artifacts on Kabukicho. How odd. Nevertheless, the quartermaster on Kabukicho will vouch out of me. Lying to someone is a form of dishonour, and I never lied to anyone.

I also happened to meet the Takarabune's transport [HA]-Tb|Kani-maru in Kyushu yesterday. He told me of having seen one Cody.Faulkner, flying a Camara freighter and hauling strange stuff. Since it got away before I arrived, I couldn't assure what was the 'strange stuff' he told me of. To cut is short, I offered to escort him to the Golden Dragon Casino, to drop his cargo. Then, we departed to Junyo, where we parted ways. He rewarded me for the escorting, of course. And, during the chat, I was given the opportunity to aknowledge myself in front of the Takarabune Conglomerate's Oyabun and, maybe, to become a part of it.


Chat log below, in case it is needed.

[13.03.2016 17:40:01] [HA]Mr.Kobayashi: Shinsuke: Good. Do you require an escort?
[13.03.2016 17:40:32] [HA]-Tb|Kani-maru: Hmmm, I might. There is a shady fella passing around my path.

[13.03.2016 17:44:38] [HA]-Tb|Kani-maru: Ah, very well.
[13.03.2016 17:44:46] [HA]Mr.Kobayashi: Shinsuke: Anyway, where is this shady guy?
[13.03.2016 17:44:57] Death: Titi.Prosop was put out of action by Fury|Vennamis (Gun).
[13.03.2016 17:45:04] [HA]-Tb|Kani-maru: I be heading to the Golden Dragon. The stranger went ahead.
[13.03.2016 17:45:20] [HA]-Tb|Kani-maru: I'll be taking the passage to Shikoku.
[13.03.2016 17:45:23] [HA]Mr.Kobayashi: Shinsuke: Shikoku...Hmhm.
[13.03.2016 17:45:32] [HA]Mr.Kobayashi: Shinsuke: I'll tag along.
[13.03.2016 17:45:43] [HA]-Tb|Kani-maru: Many thanks.
[13.03.2016 17:46:00] [HA]Mr.Kobayashi: Shinsuke: You're a fellow Hogosha. It's a pleasure for me.
[13.03.2016 17:46:01] [HA]-Tb|Kani-maru: My, it sure was a long travel this time.
[13.03.2016 17:46:15] [HA]Mr.Kobayashi: Shinsuke: Oh? Where you do come from?
[13.03.2016 17:46:40] [HA]-Tb|Kani-maru: Well, last stop was in the Omega-49 system.
[13.03.2016 17:46:59] [HA]Mr.Kobayashi: Shinsuke: Let me guess...Gran Canaria?
[13.03.2016 17:47:12] [HA]Mr.Kobayashi: Shinsuke: Or Lanzarote.
[13.03.2016 17:47:16] [HA]-Tb|Kani-maru: But we departed from Honshu, and went to places like Omicron Delta, Bremen, and Kloen before that.
[13.03.2016 17:47:30] [HA]Mr.Kobayashi: Shinsuke: Sounds nice for a trip.
[13.03.2016 17:47:48] [HA]Mr.Kobayashi: Shinsuke: I actually own a Raba as well-the Tsujirikaze-maru.
[13.03.2016 17:48:14] [HA]-Tb|Kani-maru: That's quite a nice sounding name.
[13.03.2016 17:48:27] [HA]Mr.Kobayashi: Shinsuke: It has a full Cerberus weapon array.
[13.03.2016 17:48:40] [HA]Mr.Kobayashi: Shinsuke: However, it is to costy for its core.
[13.03.2016 17:48:52] [HA]Mr.Kobayashi: Shinsuke: I decided to refit it at Cape soya.
[13.03.2016 17:49:20] [HA]-Tb|Kani-maru: It is deshou?
[13.03.2016 17:49:26] [HA]Mr.Kobayashi: Shinsuke: Hm?
[13.03.2016 17:49:37] [HA]-Tb|Kani-maru: These things don't really compare to a full powered gunboat.
[13.03.2016 17:49:42] Discovery Freelancer is a role-playing server. All attacks must be the result of some form of role play. Shouting "Engaging" or "Halt" is not sufficient.
[13.03.2016 17:49:52] [HA]-Tb|Kani-maru: Ahh, if only they did.
[13.03.2016 17:50:07] [HA]-Tb|Kani-maru: The wonders it could be made.
[13.03.2016 17:50:36] [HA]Mr.Kobayashi: Shinsuke: Indeed. That is why I was thinking between using Solaris or Basic turrets.
[13.03.2016 17:50:55] [HA]Mr.Kobayashi: Shinsuke: For a balance, I'd say basics.
[13.03.2016 17:50:57] [HA]-Tb|Kani-maru: You be working solo Shinsuke-san? Or for an Oyabun?
[13.03.2016 17:51:33] [HA]Mr.Kobayashi: Shinsuke: I'd like to work for an Oyabun. Even though I don't know which one.
[13.03.2016 17:52:12] [HA]-Tb|Kani-maru: Most business these days are crippled in their expansion because of the lack of manpower.
[13.03.2016 17:52:17] [HA]Mr.Kobayashi: Shinsuke: Indeed.
[13.03.2016 17:52:42] [HA]Mr.Kobayashi: Shinsuke: I have to say, I did think right away of the Silvereye Dragon syndicate~
[13.03.2016 17:52:50] [HA]Mr.Kobayashi: ~just to know they are all females.
[13.03.2016 17:53:08] [HA]-Tb|Kani-maru: Togase: Makes it not so bad for a free agent, but any new entry to a syndicate boosts their influence.
[13.03.2016 17:53:19] [HA]-Tb|Kani-maru: Ah yes, the ladies court.
[13.03.2016 17:53:21] Death: Core|Jamal.Ramirez was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[13.03.2016 17:53:23] [HA]Mr.Kobayashi: Shinsuke: Indeed.
[13.03.2016 17:53:29] [HA]-Tb|Kani-maru: Quite a popular following.
[13.03.2016 17:53:38] [HA]Mr.Kobayashi: Shinsuke: However, while on Anijima, I meditated.
[13.03.2016 17:54:03] [HA]Mr.Kobayashi: Shinsuke: And realized it was not my way.
[13.03.2016 17:54:12] 2016-03-13 17:54:37 SMT Traffic control alert: [HA]Mr.Kobayashi has requested to dock
[13.03.2016 17:55:13] [HA]-Tb|Kani-maru: Hmm, and what did you conclude?
[13.03.2016 17:55:42] [HA]Mr.Kobayashi: Shinsuke: I concluded it is better for me to help the Association with trade and smuggle~
[13.03.2016 17:56:14] Death: CR|-IS-Voidwalker suffered a self-administered loadout error (Mine).
[13.03.2016 17:56:18] [HA]Mr.Kobayashi: ~hence why I bent the choice to the Shikoku Turtles.
[13.03.2016 17:56:35] [HA]Mr.Kobayashi: Shinsuke: Known also as the Takarabune Conglomerate.
[13.03.2016 17:56:44] [HA]-Tb|Kani-maru: The turt--- ah, then you are refering to our own.
[13.03.2016 17:57:01] [HA]Mr.Kobayashi: Shinsuke: Indeed.
[13.03.2016 17:57:15] [HA]-Tb|Kani-maru: That is indeed a good choice. The Takarabune is all about business, sort to speak. Hehehe
[13.03.2016 17:57:28] [HA]Mr.Kobayashi: Shinsuke: Business's my bread 'n butter.
[13.03.2016 17:57:57] [HA]Mr.Kobayashi: Shinsuke: I possess also a small Drone, in case of more...delicate runs.
[13.03.2016 17:58:18] [HA]-Tb|Kani-maru: That is quite a full set already. Impressive.
[13.03.2016 17:58:24] [HA]Mr.Kobayashi: Shinsuke: And lastly...my faithful Irezumi.
[13.03.2016 17:58:41] [HA]Mr.Kobayashi: Shinsuke: Beauty and deadliness together.
[13.03.2016 17:59:05] [HA]-Tb|Kani-maru: That is always handy.
[13.03.2016 17:59:17] [HA]-Tb|Kani-maru: So, you seek to join the Takarabune?
[13.03.2016 17:59:25] [HA]Mr.Kobayashi: Shinsuke: Hai.
[13.03.2016 17:59:35] [HA]Mr.Kobayashi: Shinsuke: Whatever I need to do, I'll do it.
[13.03.2016 18:00:27] [HA]-Tb|Kani-maru: You will find it not very difficult to perform your duties, given the equipment you already have.
[13.03.2016 18:00:27] [HA]Mr.Kobayashi: Shinsuke: I was also thinking of a way to move to Crete avoiding GMG space.
[13.03.2016 18:00:48] [HA]Mr.Kobayashi: Shinsuke: Yet, haven't found nothing yet.
[13.03.2016 18:01:19] [HA]Mr.Kobayashi: Shinsuke: Well, I might find it sometime. Who knows?
[13.03.2016 18:01:26] [HA]-Tb|Kani-maru: Well, GMG are an issue, but by far not a major issue, if you're cautious.
[13.03.2016 18:01:41] [HA]Mr.Kobayashi: Shinsuke: I am aways cautious.
[13.03.2016 18:02:01] [HA]-Tb|Kani-maru: Swift feet always loose the guards.
[13.03.2016 18:02:07] [HA]Mr.Kobayashi: Shinsuke: I approve.

[13.03.2016 18:02:43] [HA]-Tb|Kani-maru: There is some stuff that can be done to get your admission to the Conglomerate.
[13.03.2016 18:03:07] [HA]-Tb|Kani-maru: Having my word on it is a very good first step- ah, that's right.
[13.03.2016 18:03:14] [HA]Mr.Kobayashi: Shinsuke: Hm?
[13.03.2016 18:03:22] You have received 3.000.000 credits from [HA]-Tb|Kani-maru

I also christened my Raba's first flight. It has been named Tsujirikaze.Maru. After having it armored and outfitted, I brought some Sorted Artifacts to Leiden, where in exchange I bought Light Arms, shipped back to Kabukicho.

I think is is all for now.
May Fortunes grant us safe travels and bless our pockets.

RE: The Hogosha Association's Neural Net Channel - Redacted.Member1-4 - 03-14-2016

Greetings to all Associates. The Hogosha Association brings to you attention some news.

Recently the Association has settled some ongoing negotiations with the Corsair empire regarding the use of Corsair technology. Due to those talks, the Corsairs have set up a shipment contract to be concluded by the HA.

Down below you can see a copy of the message that describes the materials the Corsairs requested for the completion of an Imperator class gunboat, that will be lent to the Association efforts in what way it's deemed necessary.
We ask any and all Associates to give their contribution to our cause, by delivering the required goods to Tripoli Shipyard in Omicron Gamma, and report the success in the related channel.

Hola, senor Katagawa and amigos from the Hogosha Association!

After long discussion between the Elders, a huge flaw was found in our new project, which forced us to abandon it.
Si, unfortunately, that means your new assignment has also been canceled, so we're proceeding with the original agreement.

I am sending you a list of materials and supplies needed for complete construction of the vessel:
Same as before, provide us with images of successful deliveries, por favor. Tripoli Shipyard will be expecting your cargo ships arrival. In case of any questions, this channel is open.


Rodrigo de la Guerra, The Brotherhood Elder


Most successful contributors will be properly rewarded.

Greetings, esteemed colleagues. Shinsuke Kobayashi, reporting in.

It looks like the Sorted Artifacts are more and more needed all over Sirius. In fact, the reserves on Kabukicho are running dry on them day by day. As such, I resolved myself to make a trip all the way to Crete to see if they still had high-quality artifacts. Alas, they ran a little short on them somehow. So I resolved to pick, on my way back, some Sorted Artifacts from the Hawaii.

On Crete, I embarked some Vacationers on my Raba and brought them to the nearest Luxury Liner-the Hawaii-where I left them.
Then I loaded my ship with some top quality Sorted Artifacts and headed back to Kabukicho. As before, everything was quiet and silent.

I noticed no GMG ships in the Sigmas lately. It is good news to us, for we can go back and forth to our Corsair friends swiftly.
In any case, I advice extreme caution anyway. Those nebula dwellers can pop up at any time.

As a side note, I completed the Goal 10 - Home Banking Savings. Below, you will find the deposit to our bank account, [HA]Kaigai.Ginko, of the sum of 20 million standard credits needed to deem this goal as completed.

Also, I completed some of the deliveries regarding our deal with the Corsair Empire (Link to delivery proof).

That is all for now. May Fortunes bless our pockets and winds keep us safe.

Shinsuke Kobayashi, signing out.

The Fisherman

This old head of mine joyfully receives the rays of the Shikoku sun, as we have returned to our homeland, Junyo, after a trip to the lands of the Corsairs.

Word from our representative was that the Corsairs had been asking for some direct contacts with the Oyabuns of the Association, and I decided it was a grand time to head out into space, to bring our prized goods to their hungry mouths, and the sage words to their starving ears.

With me travelled lady Yakumo-san, from the Silvereye Dragons, which came with word from her own Lady to the Corsairs. The Association most influential syndicates would be represented on our travel.

We took some time with the preparations, and set out in our regular route, crossing the path to Omicron Gamma without incident.

We arrived at Skiros, and announced our arrival to the control tower. They said a señor from the Corsair Trade Company wished to meet us, and we proceeded to do so.

Mister Vittorio Fernando de Sanchez Rodriguez, or Sanchez-dono, is the leader of the CTC, and welcomed us to Omicron Gamma. We spoke at length about the business that our respective sides had consolidated, and what we hoped to achieve in our joint future projects.

Sanchez-dono presented a request for us, involving the Imperial Exiles. It seems that the war exploits have reached far and wide, and the Corsairs, or CTC at least, has expressed interest in establishing a good relation with the Imperial faction. Sanchez-dono has entrusted us with a message of support to the Imperial command, and a wish for an arranged meeting between the CTC and the Imperials whenever possible. Lady Yukari and myself have accepted said request, and will make efforts to complete it.
At the same time, we have asked that the Corsairs would make efforts in convincing the Imperials in discarding the bretonian support and influences that are slowing them down, and would cause animosity if the Corsairs decided to present a more active support to the Imperial cause.

Ending our first meeting, we were invited by Sanchez-dono to his mansion in Planet Crete, for rest and celebration, and to visit his prized artifact collection.

Various goods from Kusari were delivered to the markets of Crete, for the good use of the business of the natives.

In other news, it has been brought to my attention, by Hebishima-san, that Shinsuke Kobayashi has performed valorous deeds to the Association, and contributed greatly to the wealth and prosperity of the Hogosha. Such conduct is to be celebrated, and when I heard of his wish to join the Takarabune Conglomerate and the recommendation of my trusted man, I saw no reason to refuse.

I welcome Shinsuke Kobayashi as our most recent member of the Takarabune Conglomerate, proud bearer of our standard, and promoter of our image in Kusari and abroad.

May the Fortunes bless our voyages, our work, and our health.
The Fisherman.

Elder Brother Zhou here, stationed on the Takkinai Depot, our latest addition to our great efforts of returning the Sigmas back to their rightful rulers.

Today I had a most unusual guest in our zone of operations, as my eyes were greeted with the presence of a Liberty cruiser near our forward base.
The LNS-Shamrock.Bay , commanded by a Commander Matthew Hemlock, appeared suspiciously silent at first, but eventually gave us some information as to his presence in the sector, far away from anything Liberty related. Apparently, he ran into some political troubles over the Delta crisis.

Sensing that his presence could be an interesting piece on the balance of forces in the region, I offered him our services so he could hide and rest while planning whatever he intends to do next with a liberty cruiser, now wanted by a whole Liberty house. He declined our generous offer, for the moment.

We hope that he could be a valuable asset for our continuous struggles for Kusari rights in the region... or at least a burden that can be easily disposed of.

Konnichiwa fellow companions of the Association. Some good news have come from our friends in the Omicron region.

The Corsairs have announced the start of the extraction and sale of some special class of artefacts. These new artefacts have the promise of being the real collectors edition prize in our business, and some of them may hold some hidden potential that we have long discarded from our regular artifact trade.

I made a short travel myself to Omicron Gamma, where I contacted some old partners, and was led on a tour to these new exploration sites on the Malvada Cloud. They agreed on loading our Anki with this new brand of artifacts for a beneficial price, before they push the prices up when they go full steam into sales.

We brought them to Takkinai Depot, where we dropped some samples, then proceeded to Kabukicho, where they have been reviewed. *1*

It is a stock of marvellous relics from the past, of unparalleled beauty. Eventually, this first batch was moved to New Tokyo proper to be presented at the next big collectors fair organized by the New Tokyo Ravens. *2*

It is a great time to expand your personal efforts and strike a fortune on this new market. Clients in all House capitals are begging with 5 digit prices for a single rock, so this can only mean good opportunities for us.

May the Fortunes secure your path to greatness.

The past days of calm and stability allowed us to dispatch some of our agents to explore in greater detail the new expanses that we call the sigma cluster. Such operations revealed to us the bigger picture of the current situation, what interests and ambitions, what hands are at work to grasp the new treasures of space.

The Takarabune is an ark of Fortune. It is not only the source of such fortune for the people of Kusari, but also the one that must bring said fortune out of the hands of those who seek to do us wrong.

Old enemies stand in our way, old allies stand ready to strike back. If we are not prepared, we must become prepared as soon as possible. The competition has taken the first steps, we must not let this disadvantage increase.

Hebishima, singing off.

Good day esteemed members of the Association. This is Sugawara of the Honshu Heikegani, with some disturbing news.

As you may heard in the news recently, our already poor position in Honshu has been worsening, with the conversion of some of the most bustling industrial sectors into new residential and research hubs, and with the loss of Osaka some months ago. Not only that, but it seems someone is encroaching on our turf as well, although I have been unable to determine if it is one group or more.

Yesterday however, someone failed to keep it under tabs, and a spectacular failure reached the headlines here in Honshu. As far as I know, they say some Hogosha were involved, but so far as I can tell, it was just some non-Associate syndicate.

However, the pitiful show they got themselves involved, with the addition of a hogosha boss dead has attracted the attention of the KSP vultures. We will have to delay our runs to Kamakura Base (not the Town) and Takkinai for a week or so, due to the snooping investigators asking questions and the search warrants in effect in the area for Kamakura (the Town, not the base).

I ask all Associates to provide us with any information about the incident you might come across. I don't wanna get caught with my pants down because some wise guys don't know how to keep their fingers off the triggers while on my territory.

Hinichi Sugawara, signing off

Greetings, fellow Associates. [color=#FFFFFF]Shinsuke Kobayashi, hailing in.

I excuse myself for the lack of comms from my side, it has been a harsh time for my parents down on New Tokyo.
Anyway, aside from personal issues. Let me get to the point:
I have been asked from the Oyabun Council to reopen communications with our noble allies, the Corsairs.
However, I received only an answer, from Icarus Augustopoulos, of the Custodi.

He asked us to haul shipbuilding commodities to any Corsair station, as I heard the Corsair Empire is developing a new capital ship to add to their fleet. Below, the link to the comm.

>> Click me! <<
All Associates are to send me timestamped proof of haulage of said commodities.

This is all for now.
May the Fortunes bless your endeavors, your path, and your pockets.
Kobayashi, signing off.

Konnichiwa, my fellow associates, old friends and new. Akemashite omedetou gozaimasu, happy new year for all. It has indeed been a while since I have news to report to the Association, but news are news none the less.

During the past year, our most recent talent Shinsuke Kobayashi has proven his worth, procuring work for the Conglomerate, and keeping our reputation with our partners high. His efforts have been recognized by me, and I believe his status should be reflective of his contributions. Kobayashi-san has been promoted to 2nd Class Agent of the Conglomerate. May we count on his works from now on as we have done.

Not only he's worthy of recognition for his deeds, but he also possesses an eye for value as well. Through his recommendation, the Takarabune Conglomerate welcomes the Associate Teo Jháng to our fold, as a 3rd Class Agent. May he become a beacon of our values, and flag of the Takarabune at home and abroad.

May the Fortunes bless our voyages, our work, and our health.
The Fisherman.
