The Kusari Exiles (4.86)

[Zelot]

Furthermore, if you initiated any diplomatic contact with the Gaians (considered terrorists by Bretonia), you can expect to be curbstomped by your new-found hosts (who still don't particularly like you).

You're already living on Bretonian credit by that point in the storyline. You really can't afford to be playing agent provocateur with Bretonian unlawfuls.

Especially considering the Gaians have a decidedly neutral stance to the GRN and wouldn't be able to help you in your fight against them anyway.

EDIT: Also, for everyone else - the reason they can't go home isn't the fact that they're cut off (although that is a factor). It's more the fact that there was a coup in mainland Kusari, in which Kishiro takes control. The Emperor was visiting the front with his elite loyalist forces at the time, all of whom are considered awkward by the new regime. They can't go home for political reasons, just as much as geographic ones.

Catch us working with them and you can do something about it. Aside from that, I can't imaging that the Bretonians are in such a good situation that they could turn away such a big help in their house defense.

As for the Kusari thing, that is part of it Jammi, I also want to remove the chances that the ronin get into a skirmish with the KNF, which is against our roleplay. And I think that would happen if the ronin showed up in Kusari proper.
