Konnichiwa, brothers, this is your So-Honbucho speaking!
I'd like to commend Kuro Yoro and Tomonaga Joichi on their promotion to the rank of Wakagashira.
Yoro-kun, you earned it with your constant vigilance over your brethren, your timely aid, and your brilliant fighting skills. You have proven to be a valuable asset of the Hogosha's military resources and one day you will be in charge of the family's main force. That is why I have entrusted you the task of planning out the schematics for our future base, may your instincts guide you on your assignment.
Tomonaga-kun, your diplomatic prowess and efficiency have spread the influence of the Society over the boundaries of Kusari core space, thus fulfilling the goals set by our great Kumicho. Therefore you have become our eyes and ears within the area of the Taus. Strong relationships with independent traders and especially the IMG will be most beneficial for us. May you serve your position with honor and absolute aptitude.
Now then, on to the major announcements. I recently made a complete load-out refit on the Buuru. Upon my return from the Omicrons I was notified about a certain Liberty gunboat causing mayhem in our capitol. I did not find the ship at question, but I stumbled upon a Liberty police officer in a fighter. His inability to explain his uninvited presence in our beloved nation struck my short-tempered patience so hard that I had to greet him in a traditional Hogoshan manner- with my newly polished cannons.
Afterwards I was joined by Washizuka-kun and Hirsha-kun, two of our newest whelps. they quickly discovered an Outcast gunship that was causing trouble in front of the jump gate for Shikoku. Needless to say, our combined force sent his Tridente straight to the depths of Outcast hell!
