Subject: Interdicted by KNF Squadron

The Rashinban was forced to eject cargo after an encounter with a Kusari Naval Forces squadron. While most of the squadron advocated for destruction of the vessel or imprisonment of the crew, the leader -designated as 'Ronin'- showed an unusual amount of reasonableness in requiring a fine and destruction only of cargo.

I have not seen this behavior in the Kusari Navy before, and I ask that they be treated with an amount of fairness.

Appended to this message are the log recordings obtained by the Rashinban's communications officer. Please note that I deemed it more valuable to preserve the Rashinban than our cargo, so I will accept any punishment in the place of the rest of my crew.

Rashinban Log Records, Kyushu

[27.06.2020 20:39:39] [KNF]Sk.Hattori: Well, this is an interesting encounter.
[27.06.2020 20:39:42] GC-Rashinban: Nakai: Konbanwa. Can I help you?
[27.06.2020 20:40:01] A bounty pool worth $50.000 credits for 1 kill has been deposited in your account.
[27.06.2020 20:40:44] Death: HMS-York was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[27.06.2020 20:41:04] [KNF]Sk.Hattori: I didn't expect to see your troupe carrying those goods, nor using such a ship.
[27.06.2020 20:41:13] Death: Mr._Might_Kite was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[27.06.2020 20:41:28] GC-Rashinban: Nakai: My troupe? I am not certain what you mean.
[27.06.2020 20:41:33] [KNF]'Chishiki'|66th: Konnichiwa.
[27.06.2020 20:41:52] [KNF]Sk.Hattori: Your collective of angry teenagers.
[27.06.2020 20:42:48] GC-Rashinban: Nakai: But we are not the Kusari navy! I am far older than a teenager.
[27.06.2020 20:43:14] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: Seems like the suspect was already apprehended.
[27.06.2020 20:43:20] [KNF]'Chishiki'|66th: Hai.
[27.06.2020 20:44:13] [KNF]'Chishiki'|66th: So. What is happening with this particular suspect?
[27.06.2020 20:44:18] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: Say, Chrysanthemum. Aren't you embarrassed to fly that hunk-of-junk?
[27.06.2020 20:44:27] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: I thought you lot revered the Akegata.
[27.06.2020 20:45:35] [KNF]'Chishiki'|66th: Hmph. What a silent person.
[27.06.2020 20:45:39] GC-Rashinban: Nakai: My crew and I simply have a preference for the Pilgrim. As you can see, it is quite capable of taking a beating
[27.06.2020 20:46:26] GC-Rashinban: Nakai: And surviving. Now, may we go? We are only carrying software, which is hardly illegal.
[27.06.2020 20:47:30] [KNF]Sk.Hattori: You are currently identifying as a member of a hostile organisation of the Kusari State.
[27.06.2020 20:48:04] [KNF]'Hitokiri'|66th|: Have I missed anything?
[27.06.2020 20:48:10] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: Negative, Captain.
[27.06.2020 20:48:16] [KNF]Sk.Hattori: Given the current situation, you are to either submit yourself to be detained. Or you will be executed.
[27.06.2020 20:48:21] [KNF]'Chishiki'|66th: Just on time.
[27.06.2020 20:48:24] [KNF]'Hitokiri'|66th|: Good.
[27.06.2020 20:48:44] GC-Rashinban: Nakai: The Kusari state started it when they executed my crew running an independent trader.
[27.06.2020 20:48:51] [KNF]'Hitokiri'|66th|: This is your playfield, Ronin. Do with it what you must.
[27.06.2020 20:49:13] [KNF]Sk.Hattori: I am not here to argue. Submit yourself or perish.
[27.06.2020 20:49:14] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: Aside from usual protocol, is there anything else that can be done?
[27.06.2020 20:49:33] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: We could subject her to a fine and dropping her cargo and let her carry on.
[27.06.2020 20:49:39] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: That in of itself is fine by me.
[27.06.2020 20:49:42] [KNF]'Hitokiri'|66th|: Doubtful. Chrysanthemums aren't ones to submit easily or ever. Recommended action is to dismantle the ship.
[27.06.2020 20:49:44] [KNF]'Chishiki'|66th: I like that idea.
[27.06.2020 20:49:54] [KNF]'Chishiki'|66th: The previous one.
[27.06.2020 20:49:56] GC-Rashinban: Nakai: So my choices are to die in prison or to die here?
[27.06.2020 20:50:04] [KNF]Sk.Hattori: Section 6-1 of the Kusari Legal Codex demands the terrorist be detained or executed.
[27.06.2020 20:50:19] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: True, but that would be too easy.
[27.06.2020 20:50:30] [KNF]'Hitokiri'|66th|: This could be a serious blow to their logistical operations.
[27.06.2020 20:50:39] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: Not like these "terrorists" are a threat to Kusari.
[27.06.2020 20:50:59] [KNF]'Hitokiri'|66th|: Law is above all, Chishiki. Just because a captain refuses to cooperate with the Law and atone for their actions in prison.
[27.06.2020 20:51:06] [KNF]'Hitokiri'|66th|: Doesn't mean we'll have to let them off the leashe.
[27.06.2020 20:51:10] GC-Rashinban: Nakai: If we are not a threat, just let us go.
[27.06.2020 20:51:24] [KNF]'Chishiki'|66th: I see.
[27.06.2020 20:51:24] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: You are a potential threat, alright.
[27.06.2020 20:51:28] Death: HMS-York was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[27.06.2020 20:51:31] [KNF]'Chishiki'|66th: Noted.
[27.06.2020 20:51:33] [KNF]'Hitokiri'|66th|: Ronin. Your call.
[27.06.2020 20:51:54] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: I'll stick to my original plan. Chrysanthemum you are to wire ten-million credits to me and drop your cargo.
[27.06.2020 20:52:11] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: Failure to do so will be an obvious deconstruction of your vessel.
[27.06.2020 20:52:16] [KNF]Sk.Hattori: That is not what we are to do in this situation.
[27.06.2020 20:52:18] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: I suggest you take the deal.
[27.06.2020 20:52:25] [KNF]'Hitokiri'|66th|: Likewise.
[27.06.2020 20:52:27] [KNF]Sk.Hattori: This is a member of a enemy organisation.
[27.06.2020 20:52:35] [KNF]Sk.Hattori: It is very clear what we should do.
[27.06.2020 20:52:36] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: This is but a pawn.
[27.06.2020 20:52:42] [KNF]Sk.Hattori: That is irrelevant.
[27.06.2020 20:52:48] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: I won't put down a puppy.
[27.06.2020 20:52:55] [KNF]Sk.Hattori: Then you're in the wrong line of work.
[27.06.2020 20:53:09] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: Hitokiri, I believe you hold higher jurisdiction than the Santo-Kaisa.
[27.06.2020 20:53:19] [KNF]'Hitokiri'|66th|: We'll do what Ronin - and by exention I say, commander Hattori.
[27.06.2020 20:53:22] GC-Rashinban: Nakai: If that is all you ask, we will comply.
[27.06.2020 20:53:31] Death: Mr._Might_Kite was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[27.06.2020 20:54:11] /givecasht 10000000
[27.06.2020 20:54:11] [2020-06-27] 20:54:10 You have sent 10.000.000 credits to [KNF]'Ronin'|66th.
[27.06.2020 20:54:22] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: Your cooperation is highly appreciated.
[27.06.2020 20:54:47] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: You are free to go.
[27.06.2020 20:55:01] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: We are sorry for any inconvenience we might've given to you *chuckles*
[27.06.2020 20:55:08] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: Now get.
[27.06.2020 20:55:17] GC-Rashinban: Nakai: You are kind to allow me to carry on.
[27.06.2020 20:55:19] Tip: Are you a new player? Discovery Freelancer is not the easiest game to get your head around. If you have any questions of any kind, do not feel discouraged or embarrassed to ask them on our forum or simply approach other players for help.
[27.06.2020 20:55:20] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: Activate your cruise-engines.
[27.06.2020 20:55:22] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: Chop-chop.
[27.06.2020 20:55:31] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: Next time, be more vigilant if you are to smuggle.
[27.06.2020 20:55:32] Death: Lisander was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[27.06.2020 20:55:43] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: Cutting through the lanes like that.. *scoffs*
[27.06.2020 20:56:05] [KNF]Sk.Hattori: Hitokiri-san. I would like to ask for your name.
