Konnichiwa, I am Keibu Tomo Matsuda of the Kusari Territorial Police. Gomenasai for the lack of proper infrastructures to reach us; our branch is still relatively new and is slowly absorbing the old State Police's workload. Not that I wish to boast, but I am confident that our taskforce will soon become Kusari's premier police taskforce and that this will ease communication between our houses.

Myself, I have had a few run-in with Nox traffickers, which is considered contraband and is highly illegal within our House. According to files sent to the State Police by the Gallic Royal Police on a cooperation basis in an attempt to control the substance, the drug itself is a highly addictive, powerful hallucinogen uniquely produced on Planet Marseille within Gallia, which creates a great feel of euphoria in its user before knocking them our for up to 24 hours, after which the subject shows temporary sign of insomnia. Addiction is on a psychological level, not physical, and while the withdrawal symptoms are severe, they are not deadly as is the case for Cardamine.

As a result, it a fan favourite amongst witch doctors, cultists and other vision seekers of Sirius. It is ranked as a Class 1 Narcotic in our House, the only one to receive such a rating since the introduction of Cardamine. It has no use as a medical supply; the Kingdom of Gallia allegedly banned Nox research over 50 years ago.

I have personal reasons to believe the Hogosha and their allies are involved in the trafficking of this commodity. I have intercepted transports filled to the brim with it heading towards their alleged facilities more than once, but perhaps it is a mere coincidence. Interception of Nox cargo is also alarmingly becoming more and more common. Gallia's Royal Police's list of suspects in its production is censored for unknown reasons. Unfortunately, since the more recent pushes of Gallia into Bretonia, it as become increasingly difficult to reach them, making coordination efforts on the matter fruitless.

To hear that a Freelancer could've gotten his cargo on Honshu is upsetting, but not entirely surprising; it is indeed the first large settlement one would reach within Kusari from Gallia, and the... 'Guardians of Kusari' 's influence there is not to be ignored. This is all speculation, of course, but I will get an investigation going on the matter.

My suggestion is that the Rheinlander government pass a law on Nox as soon as possible to declare it a dangerous narcotic. Uncontrolled and not properly legislated, this substance could spell a painful future for your House, with all due respect.

Domo arigato for contacting us, Detektiv. I hope there will be more cooperation between our agencies in the future.

~ Keibu Tomo Matsuda, Signing Off.
