Konnichiwa, honourable family.

Two incidents of note today. Firstly, just after paying a visit to an associate of mine on Shinjuku Station I launched to find a cruiser-class AI vessel accompanied by a KNF fighter. The KNF officer flew on towards New Tokyo after greeting me, leaving the (unarmed) AI to its own devices. I can only assume that the samurai had allowed the robot entry to Kusari, and proceeded under that assumption.

I made conversation with the entity, attempting to gain an insight into its purpose and its background, to see what useful information I could ascertain. Kobi-san arrived early in our conversation, and he too joined me in welcoming Kusari's newest visitor.

While this was proceeding, though, I was approached by a captain with Freelancer papers flying a Base Construction Platform, already preloaded with most of the required materials to build a basic outpost. He was missing Optronics, though, and was interested to know if we could provide them. Leaving Kobi-san to deal with the AI, I went off to assist this potential business partner. Naturally I facilitated the deal; money makes the world go round, as they say. In addition, after having got what he came for, the pilot was most forthcoming with information about the wheres, whats, whens and whos of the base he'd been contracted to build. Conversation records are attached to this transmission, but to cut a long story short it seems the Corsairs may be interested in setting up shop a bit farther from Crete than usual.
In any case, this bears watching. Regardless of the base's eventual construction and its owners' intent, it may be we can either help the fledgling outpost or hinder it, whatever best serves the family's own ends.

With thanks for your time,
Shiroyama Satoko
