I've attached the logs from my conversation with the LSF. It was much the same as Misaki-san's, beyond their attempt to recruit me into the LSF. So strange!

Comm Log

[03.02.2020 01:13:05] [LN]-ESRD|Phoenix: You there.
[03.02.2020 01:13:09] [LN]-ESRD|Phoenix: Cut your engines.
[03.02.2020 01:13:11] GC-Ide,Miki: Me here.
[03.02.2020 01:13:15] GC-Ide,Miki: They are cut.
[03.02.2020 01:13:26] [LN]-ESRD|Phoenix: A smartass...great.
[03.02.2020 01:13:30] GC-Ide,Miki: I know!
[03.02.2020 01:13:44] [LN]-ESRD|Phoenix: Oh, a Waran.
[03.02.2020 01:13:50] [LN]-ESRD|Boston: What did you expect?
[03.02.2020 01:14:09] GC-Ide,Miki: You guys got Ames locked down or something?
[03.02.2020 01:14:18] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: Discussing the annexation of Kusari.
[03.02.2020 01:14:19] [LN]-ESRD|Phoenix: Hmm, I'm used to VHFs Boston, but I guess it doesn't change much.
[03.02.2020 01:14:23] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: That's a joke, by the way.
[03.02.2020 01:14:44] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: As far as I'm concerned, you're not a threat, so relax.
[03.02.2020 01:15:02] GC-Ide,Miki: I know better than to get anywhere near a warship.
[03.02.2020 01:15:13] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: While true, I have literally no reason to fire upon you.
[03.02.2020 01:15:23] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: Any trouble you cause is not within Liberty, and thus, not of my concern.
[03.02.2020 01:15:24] GC-Ide,Miki: Ah, well. That's nice.
[03.02.2020 01:15:24] [LN]-ESRD|Phoenix: Unless you give us one, that is.
[03.02.2020 01:15:24] [LN]-ESRD|Boston: Intelligence, that's a rarity these days.
[03.02.2020 01:15:55] GC-Ide,Miki: So, uh. Just chilling in this backwater, eh?
[03.02.2020 01:16:04] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: I may have stirred the pot in Shikoku for a bit.
[03.02.2020 01:16:13] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: They sent a fleet after myself.
[03.02.2020 01:16:20] GC-Ide,Miki: Mmhm. I heard the radio chatter.
[03.02.2020 01:16:49] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: Now the /next/ time I'm forced to send a message, it'll be loud and clear.
[03.02.2020 01:16:50] [LN]-ESRD|Phoenix: It is rather interesting to see Kusari bringing a whole fleet for 1 gunboat.
[03.02.2020 01:17:05] GC-Ide,Miki: Why were you stirring the pot, exactly?
[03.02.2020 01:17:13] [LN]-ESRD|Phoenix: Well, "fleet", if that capitalship had fighters docked in it.
[03.02.2020 01:17:33] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: Their naval pilots have been visiting New York. And restricted space that generally results in death upon trespass.
[03.02.2020 01:17:46] GC-Ide,Miki: How strange.
[03.02.2020 01:17:53] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: That, and prior, they had a Battlecruiser parked in front of Manhattan, and their Kempeitai murdered a pair of Police
[03.02.2020 01:17:56] =LSF=Fairford: officers.
[03.02.2020 01:17:58] [LN]-ESRD|Boston tossed heads
[03.02.2020 01:18:08] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: The first message sent was dismissed.
[03.02.2020 01:18:11] GC-Ide,Miki: Isn't that like, war?
[03.02.2020 01:18:13] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: The second had best be heard.
[03.02.2020 01:18:18] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: The third will raze Kusari.
[03.02.2020 01:18:32] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: Or at least Shikoku, like the old days.
[03.02.2020 01:18:43] [LN]-ESRD|Phoenix: Their Police Organization also sent an unauthorized liner before, but that's wasn't a severe incident.
[03.02.2020 01:18:55] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: HE threatened war, however.
[03.02.2020 01:19:09] GC-Ide,Miki: Really now? Well.
[03.02.2020 01:19:16] GC-Ide,Miki: You know what they say, war is good for business!
[03.02.2020 01:19:25] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: And Liberty loves winning wars.
[03.02.2020 01:19:51] [LN]-ESRD|Phoenix: Well, if the Kusarian Government has nothing better to do...
[03.02.2020 01:19:56] [LN]-ESRD|Phoenix: Let them try I suppose.
[03.02.2020 01:20:02] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: Of course, the Chrysanthemums are not involved in this business.
[03.02.2020 01:20:09] GC-Ide,Miki: Of course not.
[03.02.2020 01:20:09] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: Any sort of void you're free to fill in.
[03.02.2020 01:20:24] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: Don't cause trouble in Liberty or with out corporations, and frankly, I don't care what you do.
[03.02.2020 01:20:56] GC-Ide,Miki: I'll be sure to pass that along.
[03.02.2020 01:21:00] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: Alternatively, join the Liberty Security Force. I wouldn't mind another woman to fly alongside with.
[03.02.2020 01:21:30] GC-Ide,Miki: Psh. This is the furthest i've ever been outside of Kusari.
[03.02.2020 01:21:36] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: I should probably clarify over these last-generation communications that I am also of the female variety and that was not
[03.02.2020 01:21:38] =LSF=Fairford: a move on you.
[03.02.2020 01:23:07] GC-Ide,Miki: We'll keep a close eye on the situation!
[03.02.2020 01:23:08] [LN]-ESRD|Phoenix: Tell me, Ms... ?
[03.02.2020 01:23:34] GC-Ide,Miki: Nice try. No names.
[03.02.2020 01:23:39] [LN]-ESRD|Phoenix: Fair enough.
[03.02.2020 01:24:05] [LN]-ESRD|Phoenix: Anyways, it seems that the Kusarian Government spotted the Fairford rather quick.
[03.02.2020 01:24:22] GC-Ide,Miki: I wonder what'd happen if you crossed back over.
[03.02.2020 01:24:24] [LN]-ESRD|Phoenix: But you are here, which means you either dealt with them, or they left perhaps ?
[03.02.2020 01:24:51] GC-Ide,Miki: I haven't seen any capital vessels in the system.
[03.02.2020 01:25:03] [LN]-ESRD|Phoenix: Interesting...
[03.02.2020 01:25:28] [LN]-ESRD|Phoenix: Perhaps they are more responsive when a foreign organization enters their territory.
[03.02.2020 01:26:12] GC-Ide,Miki: Probably. Early warning systems or something.
[03.02.2020 01:26:49] [LN]-ESRD|Phoenix: Interesting, I thought they'd keep an eye out for their current enemies as well.
[03.02.2020 01:26:59] GC-Ide,Miki: You'd think that.
[03.02.2020 01:27:18] GC-Ide,Miki: I'm usually able to take care of business unhindered.
[03.02.2020 01:27:23] GC-Ide,Miki: If you catch my meaning.
[03.02.2020 01:27:36] [LN]-ESRD|Phoenix: That's a bit...concerning.
[03.02.2020 01:27:42] GC-Ide,Miki: Right?
[03.02.2020 01:27:48] [LN]-ESRD|Phoenix: Is Kusari Lawenforcement really that...sparse these days ?
[03.02.2020 01:28:06] GC-Ide,Miki: Mmhm.
[03.02.2020 01:28:21] [LN]-ESRD|Phoenix: I mean, you'd think they'd be busy with domestic issues, rather than paying New York a visit without prior authorization.
[03.02.2020 01:28:34] [LN]-ESRD|Boston: Operative Phoenix, you aren't causing an issue, are you?
[03.02.2020 01:28:38] GC-Ide,Miki: Wonder if something else is going on.
[03.02.2020 01:28:59] [LN]-ESRD|Phoenix: Oh no, not at all, Operative Boston.
[03.02.2020 01:29:31] [LN]-ESRD|Phoenix: I was merely curious of what the Kusari Lawenforcement do these days.
[03.02.2020 01:29:50] GC-Ide,Miki: You and me both!
[03.02.2020 01:29:52] [LN]-ESRD|Boston: Mm. Just making sure. You're writing the report, since I went to find a ration and missed most the conversation.
[03.02.2020 01:30:04] [LN]-ESRD|Phoenix: Of course, will do.
[03.02.2020 01:30:16] GC-Ide,Miki: Well. I'll leave you be.
[03.02.2020 01:30:32] [LN]-ESRD|Phoenix: Well, it seems Fairford actual has comm problems maybe.
[03.02.2020 01:30:50] GC-Ide,Miki: Sayonara!
