Got on update for you all, so far we've made contact with the Benitez family of the Corsairs, the meeting should be some time soon then we can begin moving product.
We have made an offer to the Blood Dragons, however they have very little in terms of merchandise what they do possess is a link to the Outcasts via the Golden C and if rumours are true, the Order.
Right now Kusari is an open market, one we need to get a foothold in quickly and the big players at that table are the Dragons and the Hogosha. Finding the Hogosha could be problematic as very few people are willing to talk, fewer are willing to deal. I intend ask the Corsairs for contacts with their allies though I would much prefer if we were the ones holding all the cards.
Our highest priority by far is the Outcasts, both Anna and I have talked to the 75th, they aren't very forthcoming in terms of information and have no power to open negotiations, for that we need the 101st. Exhaust all possible avenues to reach them, the less neuralnet transmissions we send the less chance we have of being uncovered.
Once we open dealings with them we can start talking with the Rogues which gives us Liberty and the big money. I'd rather not deal with the Rogues without the Outcast ace up our sleeve, they're far too comfortable to be threatened and our Corsair influence amounts to nill in those negotiations. Our only other alternative is the Hellfire Legion but word is they have no love for pirates or smugglers and could easily turn on us. Still we'll put out feelers see what we get back.
Rheinland should be an easy market and the Hessians are the key, we get them, we get Rheinland. The real issue is moving the product as Corsairs and Outcasts are frequent visitors. Start talking to the other groups and find out who we can deal with, hopefully that'll put us in touch with the Molly's.
Bretonia is a shambles, the war has every naval and police officer in a frenzy. The holes from the Taus are watched heavily and to complicate matters we have the exiled Kusari Emperor floating about. This opens up some interesting opportunities with the Bretonian government, they'll want weapons, fuel and metals to continue fighting. The Exiles are in the same boat, a lot of potential if we can get our foot in the door.
Now we want to start talking with the Molly's as soon as we can, the problem is trying to understand them, once we do that gold is as good as ours and if rumours are true they have a good rep with the Hessians which will serve us nicely. Our other potential in Bretonia is the Gaians, a group of eco-terrorists, we may gain favour with them due to our policies regarding wildlife. Again, put the word out and see what comes back.
Finally the big apple, Gallia. We know nothing of their markets, no contacts or leads to follow up on. All we know is their navy is creeping into Sirius. We need info, rumour, hell I'd settle for a horoscope reading if we can get one. Anyone who can get us a contact with the Gallics will be a very rich person indeed.
