Katagawa took the new information to heart, assessing what was known about these companies, and how they tended to affect the Association with their works.
"This is new information that your people bring to us, and it will be of interest of all that we dedicate some time to it later on.
For now however, I would like us to start discussing on the current status of the Association.
As you know, the Association has been formed by the group of widespread syndicates throughout Kusari. I believe this is the first meeting since the talks of the foundation. While a reputation has been established through the works of each syndicate, the Association as a whole has benefited from this efforts.
Through diligent work, the Association now enjoys a privileged partnership with Samura Industries, with good pays in their projects, as well access to every installation in their control.
We have also sought collaboration with the ALG operations in Frankfurt, to the benefit of our business in Rheinland, and to the benefit of our comrades in Corsair space.
Lastly, we were granted access to an outpost in the Kepler system, which we could use to further improve our connections within Liberty through a middleman in Poena.
In regards of law enforcement in Kusari, we have progressed little in our relationship with either the Naval Forces and the Kusari Police. The first because of the rather parallel line of work and interests, and due to ,what I believe to be, an element of suspicion towards their loyalties.
The Kusari Police has shown a fickle existence in terms of space borne operations, which have not benefited or hampered our operations.
On the other hand, there have been rumors that the Kempeitai has been working with several of our associates on various projects. While their cooperation is useful, don't forget that we are not the hounds of the state, and that such collaboration has to be profitable to us."
Katagawa pauses for a while, before concluding his message.
"I believe this is the general status of the our relationships with the outside. On the inside there has been little need to employ the mediation efforts of the Association, and operations apparently have ran smoothly to everyone.
I would like to ask that each representative gave a general outline of their progress, so that we all may know the development of each syndicate. Actions and recommendations will be considered on the following topics." He said, giving the space for the next person to report.
