» Newborn Foes

I've gathered some attractive intel on activities of these fresh sub-factions formed under the banner of our sworn foes. Let me be clear: their thirst for monopolistic dominance drives them to exploit the innocents without remorse. They utilize deceptive means to garner influence. Despite this crude approach being well-known since the day our master was executed, let it be clear to whom they owe their allegiance - damned Zaibatsu, Samura. I've been tracking paths far beyond our usual limits, all hell-bent on examining these kinds of events. Often, I would unexpectedly intersect their trajectories, displaying a higher level of seriousness with which they would have to contend.

With my keen eyes, I glimpsed the sprouting seeds of our sworn adversaries, mostly in the Tau region. I have even traced their tracks within one of the lesser-known systems, Baffin, where Zoners hold their ground under the watchful gaze of the TAZ division. Seemingly, appearing like a form of peculiar protectorate, I would suppose. Although their approach to certain matters is personally bizarre to me, they do not hinder our ambitions. Word about Samura's activities is primarily noticed through the establishment of a modular installation branded as Tobise Research Facility. It belongs to a newborn sub-branch of the Zaibatsu, going by the estimated name of "Senkaku Regional Division."

The newly built modular installation lies in sector E7, approximately near the Nebulae covering the eastern part of the system. Recent events have led me to the conclusion that Zoners have opposed this division's establishment due to its unexpected nature. While I last heard that they were attempting to negotiate a truce, it is quite apparent that they do not have an amicable relationship. Despite not requiring additional explanation regarding their ambitions, it is evident that something entices them towards exploitation.

Their actions take on a considerably more radical approach, specifically when they refer to Taus as the so-called Senkaku Region - evidently their primary concern. Primarily, these lapdogs have been observed handling "terrorist" technology associated with Farmers Alliance, and enjoying the support of Hogosha. Additionally, they have laid bare conspicuous diplomatic relationships intended to sabotage their rivals. Sabotage, alongside assassinations, remains our imperative.

» Borderworlds

Although my main focus has been on the borderworlds, I've also had the chance to tread into somewhat unclearer lands. I've had several dialogues with the non-conventional Royalist groups, and carried out execution of an Outcast gunboat. Additionally, I crossed paths with a Kusari-heritage personality who has evidently been associated with these undesirable Gaijin entities for an extended period. At present, expending resources on potential battles with these threats in the Borderworlds is not feasible.

Nevertheless, should they impede our interests or trespass into Kusari, execution will become an imminent necessity. Though they attempt to show sympathy towards our cause, and even flatter us, and we cannot be swayed by these empty praises. Despite being one of few remnants of these radicals, they have started to intrude upon Tau affairs, step by step, even within Tau-29. While no fatalities have occurred yet, I am of the opinion that should they persist in intensifying their interests, they may ignite our wrath in a significantly more serious manner.

Finally, I will disclose certain donations we've acquired to uphold our cause from certain outsiders. Furthermore, I have acquainted myself with certain individuals from the Lane Hackers, and we have established a pretext for future collaborations. In our upcoming steps, we will resume disclosing additional evidence regarding the Zaibatsu's collusion with blatantly corrupt criminals and smugglers, while involving ourselves in an unrelenting campaign of sabotage, assassination, and related endeavors.

Long live the Blood Dragons.

15-07-2023 A.S: SRD Identity and Methods, Zoners

Code:
[15.07.2023 10:20:50] [TAZ]Peacemaker: Bottom line is you didn't ask

[15.07.2023 10:21:19] SRD]Y,Susumu: And a Dragon too, on top. I am starting to see the picture.

[15.07.2023 10:21:23] YR|Wakizashi: The Keiretsu seems to have increased their influence in the region. Not something that I enjoy.

[15.07.2023 10:21:26] SRD]Y,Susumu: Did they instruct you to destroy this installation?

[15.07.2023 10:22:02] YR|Wakizashi: What installation? I assume you're referring to that right next to you? Or, are you willing to admit your entanglement - 

[15.07.2023 10:22:12] YR|Wakizashi: -in its maintenance, or construction?

[15.07.2023 10:22:20] SRD]Y,Susumu: Of course you would not enjoy it, scum. This is for the people of Kusari, entirely opposite of what you wish for.

[15.07.2023 10:22:24] SRD]Y,Susumu: Of course it is ours.

[15.07.2023 10:22:42] SRD]Y,Susumu: But I do not expect a traitor of the homeland to understand why we do this.

[15.07.2023 10:22:57] YR|Wakizashi: That's unfortunate for the local populance who you seemingly wish to exploit with your monopolistic ideas. 

[15.07.2023 10:23:22] SRD]Y,Susumu: Our wish is merely to expand the influence of Kusari into the Senkaku Region. 

[15.07.2023 10:23:23] [TAZ]Peacemaker: I'm going for a drink, if you want to negotiate, meet me in the bar or contact me on the neural net

[15.07.2023 10:23:52] YR|Wakizashi: Your wish is to take advantange of the Zoner population who is more or less tolerant of deceitful Keiretsu like yourself.

[15.07.2023 10:24:10] Ag]-Kaminaga,Keisuke: What advantage is there to be taken from these nutters?

[15.07.2023 10:24:15] YR|Wakizashi: There is no justification that would change one's stance.

[15.07.2023 10:24:26] [TAZ]Peacemaker: That doesn't even make sense

[15.07.2023 10:24:28] YR|Wakizashi: Why would you expand into Baffin?

[15.07.2023 10:24:31] SRD]Y,Susumu: As you can see, these are not people we can take advantage of. Fielding vessels of that size, not even we are capable of that.

[15.07.2023 10:24:43] SRD]Y,Susumu: Baffin is part of the Senkaku Region, it is only natural for us to wish to expand here.

[15.07.2023 10:24:53] YR|Wakizashi: Of course. The Empire isn't exactly keen on sending Battleships here, yet.

[15.07.2023 10:25:30] YR|Wakizashi: You wouldn't expand without having fruitful endeavors in your miserable minds. That, makes no sense.

[15.07.2023 10:25:51] SRD]Y,Susumu: What we do is simply for the people of Kusari.

[15.07.2023 10:25:59] YR|Wakizashi: Though, I care not much about the Zoners, as long as those who take part in this form of treachery live.

[15.07.2023 10:26:12] SRD]Y,Susumu: To offer ourselves up and spearhead into the Senkaku Region and further its development is a noble cause.

[15.07.2023 10:26:19] YR|Wakizashi: You are attempting to convince the wrong people.

[15.07.2023 10:26:33] YR|Wakizashi: Noble. Exclude that word. 

[15.07.2023 10:26:43] SRD]Y,Susumu: I do not wish to convince anyone, I am merely stating why what we do is just and right.

[15.07.2023 10:26:47] YR|Wakizashi: Replace it with sinister.

[15.07.2023 10:27:01] SRD]Y,Susumu: To you it may be just that.

[15.07.2023 10:27:33] SRD]Y,Susumu: I do not expect someone who'd go as far as abandoning everything back at home just to become a terrorist to understand

[15.07.2023 10:27:34] YR|Wakizashi: You've funded enough terrorists, and have become far too much tolerant of foreign criminal Gaijin whose ambitions - 

[15.07.2023 10:27:37] SRD]Y,Susumu: why we would do such a thing.

[15.07.2023 10:28:02] YR|Wakizashi: - lie in destroying anyone unlike them. As for the fall of our master, and your continued involvement in these -

[15.07.2023 10:28:16] YR|Wakizashi: - sinister affairs, I have nothing but a few actions to take.

[15.07.2023 10:28:23] Ag]-Kaminaga,Keisuke: That being?

[15.07.2023 10:28:40] YR|Wakizashi: Glad that you've asked. Gendaito shall do the work.

[15.07.2023 10:28:57] SRD]Y,Susumu: Destroying anyone unlike them? They are but greedy corporations to be exploited by Kusari.

[15.07.2023 10:29:12] YR|Wakizashi: Corsairs aren't greedy corporations.

[15.07.2023 10:29:13] SRD]Y,Susumu: I do not know what influence they have within our home, and I assume neither do you.

[15.07.2023 10:29:22] SRD]Y,Susumu: The Corsairs? We do not know of such people.

[15.07.2023 10:29:45] YR|Wakizashi: And? That's it?

[15.07.2023 10:30:00] SRD]Y,Susumu: What do you expect me to tell you about people we've never once heard of?

[15.07.2023 10:30:16] SRD]Y,Susumu: Well, that would be a lie. Everyone heard of them.

[15.07.2023 10:30:21] SRD]Y,Susumu: But we have not yet encountered them.

[15.07.2023 10:30:57] YR|Wakizashi: You have no logical reasons to admit your behind-the-scenes dealings, to fulfill the agenda that you strive for.

[15.07.2023 10:31:06] SRD]Y,Susumu: And how would I have, rumors have it that they're found closer to the Sigma Cluster, entirely opposite of where we wish to 

[15.07.2023 10:31:07] SRD]Y,Susumu: expand.

[15.07.2023 10:31:17] YR|Wakizashi: And, since when do you utilize Hogosha fighters?

[15.07.2023 10:31:51] SRD]Y,Susumu: They are kind enough to provide people with them so long as theyre being paid for and they think highly enough of you.

[15.07.2023 10:31:58] YR|Wakizashi: You're part of the Keiretesu, and you are to be blamed, and eradicated for everything that its done for centuries.

[15.07.2023 10:32:21] Ag]-Kaminaga,Keisuke: Why, that sounds vaguely like a threat.

[15.07.2023 10:32:27] SRD]Y,Susumu: Our R&D is still lacking, we do not have vessels capable of combating the things that we expect to find within the Senkaku 

[15.07.2023 10:32:29] YR|Wakizashi: I doubt that their smuggling dealings could be praised that much. And, there's a whole array of much other things.

[15.07.2023 10:32:30] SRD]Y,Susumu: Region.

[15.07.2023 10:32:52] SRD]Y,Susumu: And as a result, we purchase ships like these to better make use of them.

[15.07.2023 10:33:03] SRD]Y,Susumu: They're more capable of combat than any ship on the civilian market could ever wish to be.

[15.07.2023 10:33:06] SRD]Y,Susumu: Is that not natural?

[15.07.2023 10:33:08] YR|Wakizashi: Civilian ships are always a go.

[15.07.2023 10:33:34] YR|Wakizashi: Kishiro's far more innovative that yourself, yet, they seem to have failed to obtain ships of their own.

[15.07.2023 10:33:39] SRD]Y,Susumu: I'd rather choose the piece of equipment made especially for the task that is required of us.

[15.07.2023 10:33:46] YR|Wakizashi: And, I do not praise them. Merely pointing it out.

[15.07.2023 10:34:24] Ag]-Kaminaga,Keisuke: We need not justify ourselves to the likes of him.

[15.07.2023 10:34:36] SRD]Y,Susumu: That may be so in your eyes. Yet we have managed to build ships far larger than fighter craft, it is but a matter of time 

[15.07.2023 10:34:40] SRD]Y,Susumu: before we enter that market as well.

[15.07.2023 10:34:41] YR|Wakizashi: It's futile, as your words do not match your deeds. I much agree.

[15.07.2023 10:35:15] YR|Wakizashi: Each Keiretsu has, and I do not deny. Yet, Senkaku region. Last time, you've failed to elaborate.

[15.07.2023 10:35:32] SRD]Y,Susumu: It is more commonly known as the Tau region I assume.

[15.07.2023 10:35:48] SRD]Y,Susumu: Saga, or what you claim to be Tau-29, is just the beginning.

[15.07.2023 10:35:54] YR|Wakizashi: You wish to insert your influence to exploit someone like the Zoners? Even the sole idea of primarily working in -

[15.07.2023 10:36:03] YR|Wakizashi: -the border worlds piques my interests for several reasons.

[15.07.2023 10:36:16] SRD]Y,Susumu: Exploit the Zoners?

[15.07.2023 10:36:27] SRD]Y,Susumu: 10 of them could not do the work that one of our employees does.

[15.07.2023 10:36:34] SRD]Y,Susumu: There is no point in exploiting such useless people.

[15.07.2023 10:36:41] YR|Wakizashi: I've just seen them arrive in some of the heavier assets. I wonder why.

[15.07.2023 10:36:55] SRD]Y,Susumu: Especially the ones around Baffin. They seem to cling to some religious believes that I do not fully grasp yet.

[15.07.2023 10:37:07] SRD]Y,Susumu: They're unhappy about our presence, naturally.

[15.07.2023 10:37:15] SRD]Y,Susumu: But we did not get into contact with them once even before that.

[15.07.2023 10:37:24] YR|Wakizashi: Those were my opening words. I applaud your observations.,

[15.07.2023 10:38:15] YR|Wakizashi: You wish to admit the reasons that I've just mentioned as the justification for establishing a modular base here?

[15.07.2023 10:38:16] SRD]Y,Susumu: We do not know much about them in any case.

[15.07.2023 10:39:04] YR|Wakizashi: You wouldn't merely place an installation without proper reasons. You're notorious for your exploits, for which you shall pay.

[15.07.2023 10:39:05] SRD]Y,Susumu: I am unsure what you mean. I have told you what we wish to do here, but that is public information.

[15.07.2023 10:39:22] SRD]Y,Susumu: You'd know about it if you were to research a bit more, I am sure.

[15.07.2023 10:39:45] SRD]Y,Susumu: There is no point in telling you what we do here, as you have your own, twisted, image of us that you seem to not be able to 

[15.07.2023 10:39:45] YR|Wakizashi: I already know more than I need. It is not my first time in the Tau, or Senkaku Region as you refer to them.

[15.07.2023 10:39:46] SRD]Y,Susumu: get rid of.

[15.07.2023 10:40:33] Ag]-Kaminaga,Keisuke: I don't think this chat is going anywhere.

[15.07.2023 10:40:39] SRD]Y,Susumu: Well, then you'd know how much it lacks developing.

[15.07.2023 10:40:43] YR|Wakizashi: Right. I should start cleansing this sector now. Bombers aren't of my interests, for obvious reasons.

[15.07.2023 10:40:43] SRD]Y,Susumu: Something that we strive to change.

[15.07.2023 10:40:55] SRD]Y,Susumu: I much agree. Time is running out anyway, we are on a tight schedule.

[15.07.2023 10:41:13] YR|Wakizashi: And so be it. Long live the Blood Dragons.

[15.07.2023 10:41:22] SRD]Y,Susumu: I hope to change that today.

[15.07.2023 10:41:24] SRD]Y,Susumu: Weapons primed.

[15.07.2023 10:41:36] Ag]-Kaminaga,Keisuke: Supporting Samura units.

[15.07.2023 10:41:54] SRD]Y,Susumu: Stay out of this.

[15.07.2023 10:42:14] Ag]-Kaminaga,Keisuke: Fine.

[15.07.2023 10:49:32] Death: SRD]Y,Susumu was put out of action by YR|Wakizashi (Gun).

[15.07.2023 10:49:53] YR|Wakizashi: What about yourself? You wished to move in?

[15.07.2023 10:49:53] Ag]-Kaminaga,Keisuke: Well done, you prevailed today.

[15.07.2023 10:50:20] Ag]-Kaminaga,Keisuke: Going to go and tell all your terrorist friends about it?

[15.07.2023 10:50:37] YR|Wakizashi: You attempt to evade my questions.

[15.07.2023 10:50:59] YR|Wakizashi: Answer or my guns will start working.

[15.07.2023 10:51:22] YR|Wakizashi: You can consider that as a clear threat to your illicit activities.

[15.07.2023 10:51:40] Ag]-Kaminaga,Keisuke: I respected my employer's wishes.

[15.07.2023 10:51:42] YR|Wakizashi: You can simply step out.

[15.07.2023 10:52:27] Ag]-Kaminaga,Keisuke: Now I must drag him back and you would be gunning down a humanitarian effort.

[15.07.2023 10:53:06] YR|Wakizashi: Your end is near, and I'll make it happen through any means necessary.

[15.07.2023 10:53:25] Ag]-Kaminaga,Keisuke: Whatever helps you sleep at night.

[15.07.2023 10:53:32] YR|Wakizashi: Justice.

11-07-2023 A.S: Lane Hackers, Drake

Code:
[11.07.2023 20:14:46] YR|Kodachi: Contact. Hackers?

[11.07.2023 20:16:07] YR|Kodachi: Your vessels are surely resistant to any form of identification. Took me awhile to.

[11.07.2023 20:16:26] LH~Drake: Drake: I haven't been in Kusari for a while.

[11.07.2023 20:16:36] LH~Drake: Drake: I usually stay in the borderworlds.

[11.07.2023 20:16:54] YR|Kodachi: Your pathway is most efficient, I'll give you that. Hokkaido is littered with Naval patrols.

[11.07.2023 20:17:19] LH~Drake: Drake: Fortunately for me, this place is kind of "remote"..

[11.07.2023 20:17:21] YR|Kodachi: And, it isn't frequent to see one of your kind in Kusari, or Hokkaido.

[11.07.2023 20:18:09] LH~Drake: Drake: There's simply not much to *do* for us in Kusari right now.

[11.07.2023 20:18:21] YR|Kodachi: It is. It's far away from any of the Keiretsu's reach. They'd surely wish to grasp such a location.

[11.07.2023 20:18:58] YR|Kodachi: I do not doubt you have your own share of concerns down in... Liberty.

[11.07.2023 20:19:28] LH~Drake: Drake: Very amusing times.. Ageira and the Liberty Forces had their handsful defending Pueblo in Colorado.

[11.07.2023 20:19:59] LH~Drake: Drake: I'm on my way to Kinkaku-Ji, you can acompany me, if you wish to.

[11.07.2023 20:20:02] YR|Kodachi: I've heard your colleagues enjoy instilling terror into them, as you should.

[11.07.2023 20:20:24] LH~Drake: Drake: Some more than others, that's for sure.

[11.07.2023 20:20:28] YR|Kodachi: A familiar installation. I sure can, under the condition we resume venturing through the remote pathways. Of course.

[11.07.2023 20:20:57] LH~Drake: Drake: That is kinda obvious..

[11.07.2023 20:20:59] YR|Kodachi: I'm sure you're well versed into these routes, seeing you're delivering that, Cardamine, down to Liberyt.

[11.07.2023 20:21:21] LH~Drake: Drake: We usually take it from Galileo, down at Leiden.

[11.07.2023 20:21:37] LH~Drake: Drake: Anyways, we'll be powering up the engines.

[11.07.2023 20:21:48] YR|Kodachi: Forming up with your vessel.

[11.07.2023 20:22:03] LH~Drake: Drake: The Kyushu Jump Hole isn't far from here.

[11.07.2023 20:22:07] YR|Kodachi: Tell me, how dependent on that supstance are you, or your colleagues?

[11.07.2023 20:22:17] YR|Kodachi: I can proceed first.

[11.07.2023 20:22:21] LH~Drake: Drake: Sure..

[11.07.2023 20:23:10] YR|Kodachi: I've never been nowhere closes to your remote outposts. I've never had particular reasons to.

[11.07.2023 20:23:39] YR|Kodachi: But I'm certain that future will offer me such opportunities. It's time consuming to conduct operations inside Kusari.

[11.07.2023 20:23:44] LH~Drake: Drake: Your question seems odd, however, I'd say some.. like me are very dependant on it.. newer recruits aren't that dependant

[11.07.2023 20:23:47] LH~Drake: -yet-..

[11.07.2023 20:24:35] YR|Kodachi: Interesting. I've heard mostly rumors, nothing more. I'm well knowledgeable of your methods, so to say. 

[11.07.2023 20:25:10] LH~Drake: Drake: It would be very odd of a Blood Dragon to pay us a visit down at Leiden or even Mactan.

[11.07.2023 20:25:15] YR|Kodachi: My brethren hold contact with the Hackers. So far, me and my people have been mostly occupied with different... matters.

[11.07.2023 20:25:38] LH~Drake: Drake: It has been years since we had the last contact with -any- Blood Dragon group.

[11.07.2023 20:25:41] YR|Kodachi: We do not have time to "visits," would be counter productive...

[11.07.2023 20:26:22] YR|Kodachi: [He sighs] We've had certain issues from within, that haven't been apparent so far.

[11.07.2023 20:26:48] YR|Kodachi: Ones attempting to get their hands onto power. Futile as it sounds. We've been betrayed, mostly.

[11.07.2023 20:26:55] LH~Drake: Drake: I remember visiting Kyoto.. once, but that has been years ago.

[11.07.2023 20:27:13] YR|Kodachi: Our methods have been abandoned by some, while ones like myself, severely uphold our traditions.

[11.07.2023 20:27:16] LH~Drake: Drake: We all are betrayed somewhere, at somepoint.

[11.07.2023 20:28:00] YR|Kodachi: Surely. The Dragons always search for ways to garner supplies for our battles. We're not self-sufficient, as some of us claim.

[11.07.2023 20:28:02] LH~Drake: Drake: Considering your stance right now, I am not doing you and your organization a favour by supplying the Chrysanthemums wi-

[11.07.2023 20:28:07] LH~Drake: th Cardamine.

[11.07.2023 20:28:43] YR|Kodachi: Our allies enjoy such a supstance. Though, we're much opposite in regards to that. For reasons.

[11.07.2023 20:29:27] LH~Drake: Drake: Highly addictive.. same with Cigarettes.

[11.07.2023 20:29:30] YR|Kodachi: Doesn't mean we hinder the smuggling that's contributing to their cause.

[11.07.2023 20:30:01] YR|Kodachi: I wish it had been something else. Once someone hooked up onto that, I've heard there is no turning back.

[11.07.2023 20:30:13] Rules Tip: A single player running two or more instances of Freelancer for trading or mining purposes is against server rules and is regarded as cheating.

[11.07.2023 20:30:27] YR|Kodachi: It's contrary to our long-terms mission, as you may guess.

[11.07.2023 20:30:28] LH~Drake: Drake: I heard that Stabiline is a way in going back to normal, but, I think thats just bait.

[11.07.2023 20:30:49] YR|Kodachi: I'd prefer not to involve myself, or my brethren into such...

[11.07.2023 20:31:11] LH~Drake: Drake: We'll be mooring now, gonna be back with you in a few moments.

[11.07.2023 20:31:24] YR|Kodachi: Understood. I'll monitor the sector.

[11.07.2023 20:32:42] YR|Kodachi: Kinkaku-ji accomodates supplies like yourself. They've highly modified the installation.

[11.07.2023 20:32:51] LH~Drake: Drake: Good, all systems seem to run as intendet..

[11.07.2023 20:33:21] YR|Kodachi: You may proceed once you see it fit. I'll accompany you outside the system.

[11.07.2023 20:33:24] LH~Drake: Drake: We'll be returning to the Omicrons.

[11.07.2023 20:33:39] YR|Kodachi: That's, much more far-away than my expectations.

[11.07.2023 20:34:01] LH~Drake: Drake: Just a bit more north the Taus.

[11.07.2023 20:34:30] YR|Kodachi: I have heard that they are not the most hospitable place.

[11.07.2023 20:35:03] LH~Drake: Drake: Depends on your enemies.

[11.07.2023 20:35:13] LH~Drake: Drake: If it's the Outcasts, you are pretty much done.

[11.07.2023 20:35:29] LH~Drake: Drake: We'll see you on the other side.

[11.07.2023 20:35:52] YR|Kodachi: They, alongside Corsairs hold immense power. Dragons are nothing in comparison.

[11.07.2023 20:36:20] LH~Drake: Drake: We're not that huge in numbers as well.

[11.07.2023 20:36:32] YR|Kodachi: I'm somewhat interested into your dealings inside Liberty. How have things been unfolding recently?

[11.07.2023 20:36:58] LH~Drake: Drake: It's actually quite calm down there..

[11.07.2023 20:37:10] LH~Drake: Drake: The Navy still fights the Insurgency but nothing new there as well.

[11.07.2023 20:37:33] YR|Kodachi: Seems like a matter of time before the Navy roots them out of Liberty.

[11.07.2023 20:37:53] LH~Drake: Drake: Yep.. they used to be a reliable allie of us.

[11.07.2023 20:38:06] YR|Kodachi: Our forces have mostly remained congregated in similar regions for many years. It's been quite eventful.

[11.07.2023 20:38:16] LH~Drake: Drake: That changed as soon as they merged with the Hellfire Legion.

[11.07.2023 20:38:44] YR|Kodachi: Hasn't saved them from the apparent doom now.

[11.07.2023 20:38:55] LH~Drake: Drake: Thankfully.

[11.07.2023 20:39:09] LH~Drake: Drake: It would've been a disaster for us if they'd become a even stronger threat.

[11.07.2023 20:40:03] YR|Kodachi: My brethren have adapted for many centuries to counter the Empire. We're too few, but adaptable.

[11.07.2023 20:40:29] LH~Drake: Drake: It always has been interesting for me to know..

[11.07.2023 20:40:59] YR|Kodachi: Our cause is mostly surrounded by the requirement for justice that hasn't been given to the Keiretsu, and their loyalists.

[11.07.2023 20:41:33] YR|Kodachi: Our dire need for supplies yet remains cruicial, more or less.

[11.07.2023 20:42:09] LH~Drake: Drake: Yeah, it really sucks living on an asteroid, I can recall that being an issue.

[11.07.2023 20:42:10] YR|Kodachi: There's a stationed Battleship in the system that hinders our ambitions. Though, we do get around it wisely.

[11.07.2023 20:42:41] YR|Kodachi: We're fortunate to have made it out the treachery centuries ago.

[11.07.2023 20:42:41] LH~Drake: Drake: The Kayo cloud does it's part.

[11.07.2023 20:43:22] LH~Drake: Drake: Didn't you mention treason from within your own organization?

[11.07.2023 20:43:47] YR|Kodachi: Correct. It's mostly revolving around the issue of identity.

[11.07.2023 20:44:09] YR|Kodachi: Some, wish to grasp for power, a titule that's nowhere near our core essence.

[11.07.2023 20:44:16] LH~Drake: Drake: Stuck with "treachery" still I guess.

[11.07.2023 20:44:27] YR|Kodachi: And, attempt engage in fairly silly direct conflicts without prior organization.

[11.07.2023 20:44:45] YR|Kodachi: I do refer it so, but, they're still one of us.

[11.07.2023 20:45:03] LH~Drake: Drake: You were speaking about supplies, is there something we can help you with to "refresh" our relations?

[11.07.2023 20:45:15] YR|Kodachi: Even though they're a minority within us, well, their impact is fairly insignificant.

[11.07.2023 20:45:55] YR|Kodachi: Revolutionary conservatives like the Dragons always require concrete supplies in regards to weaponry, and life requirements.

[11.07.2023 20:46:18] YR|Kodachi: We tend to use them appropriately, efficiently. That's how we've been able to adapt.

[11.07.2023 20:46:19] LH~Drake: Drake: Doesn't the Order help you with Kemwer Munitions?

[11.07.2023 20:46:55] YR|Kodachi: I see you're aware. Yes. The Order plays a cruicial role in arming our assets. But, anything heavier is fairly outdated...

[11.07.2023 20:47:23] YR|Kodachi: Ancient... We do not have our hands on an abundance of supplies. Chugoku is mostly restricted in terms of that.

[11.07.2023 20:48:14] YR|Kodachi: Hence the requirements. Though, my warriors are seasoned, and aim before shooting. Unlike some.

[11.07.2023 20:48:32] LH~Drake: Drake: *laughs*.. have you ever met the "Unioners"?

[11.07.2023 20:48:52] YR|Kodachi: Of course. Something in particular you wish to say?

[11.07.2023 20:49:18] LH~Drake: Drake: Pretty annoying buch of people if you ask me,

[11.07.2023 20:49:55] YR|Kodachi: We've never crossed roads, as they likely share no similar ambitions with the Dragons. And, we're much far/

[11.07.2023 20:50:10] LH~Drake: Drake: Oh, I had the "pleasure" of meeting their members..

[11.07.2023 20:50:51] LH~Drake: Drake: Is there something the Lane Hackers can send you to aid in your ambitions?

[11.07.2023 20:50:58] YR|Kodachi: I am all intrigued, Drake. Wish to elaborate? Something perhaps that I should keep in mind?

[11.07.2023 20:51:45] LH~Drake: Drake: I'm not sure, scanners, weapons, munitions, intel.. consuming goods, I don't know.

[11.07.2023 20:52:17] YR|Kodachi: We do import many side arms, and the counterfeit software that's mostly made by your kind.

[11.07.2023 20:52:32] LH~Drake: Drake: What about minified spyglass scanners?

[11.07.2023 20:52:41] LH~Drake: Drake: Have you ever heard or used one?

[11.07.2023 20:53:05] YR|Kodachi: I'm knowledgeable into your technology, though, I've never had the chance to equip one of those...

[11.07.2023 20:53:26] YR|Kodachi: As you may notice, technology inside this ship is mostly sufficient, yet not-so advanced.

[11.07.2023 20:54:11] YR|Kodachi: I would likely serve us well. Anything that's up-to-date, or even up ahead of our competition.

[11.07.2023 20:54:26] YR|Kodachi: Rivalry, better said. 

[11.07.2023 20:54:41] LH~Drake: Drake: The Spyglass scanner is beyond any scanner that is available in Sirius.

[11.07.2023 20:55:31] YR|Kodachi: Sounds like a tinker toy that one would like to equip.

[11.07.2023 20:55:34] LH~Drake: Drake: It is a legendary tool of our mastermind engineers.

[11.07.2023 20:56:14] YR|Kodachi: Would it be any compatible to vessels like mine, that aren't specially modified?

[11.07.2023 20:56:48] LH~Drake: Drake: Well it is a network of several scanners, I can offer you the minified version of it.

[11.07.2023 20:57:03] LH~Drake: Drake: That can be mounted on pretty much any vessel.

[11.07.2023 20:57:34] YR|Kodachi: Well thought out. I had no doubts on such matter.

[11.07.2023 20:58:05] YR|Kodachi: I'm somewhat interested, as long as it'd enhance my efficiency.

[11.07.2023 20:58:35] LH~Drake: Drake: You can give it a thought and then send me a note.

[11.07.2023 20:58:45] YR|Kodachi: The Keiretsu doesn't operate such technology, hence would be humorous to mock them in such a way.

[11.07.2023 20:59:24] YR|Kodachi: There's a Kishiro-built scanner that I opt not to utilize.

[11.07.2023 20:59:51] LH~Drake: Drake: A Kishiro build scanner?

[11.07.2023 21:00:26] YR|Kodachi: I'll keep the contact, Drake. You can consider me as a Mentor of the division that I lead.

[11.07.2023 21:01:19] LH~Drake: Drake: You made me very interested Kodachi.

[11.07.2023 21:01:54] YR|Kodachi: Jintsuriki Scanner, developed by the Kishiro. They brand themselve as 'innovative.'

[11.07.2023 21:02:03] LH~Drake: Drake: Oh.. that..

[11.07.2023 21:02:23] YR|Kodachi: Seems insigificant judging by your words. 

[11.07.2023 21:02:27] YR|Kodachi: And, it is.

[11.07.2023 21:02:33] LH~Drake: Drake: This thing is a minified Battleship class scanner.

[11.07.2023 21:02:51] YR|Kodachi: As I thought.

[11.07.2023 21:03:34] LH~Drake: Drake: I'd have to ask a few of our engineers to give you a 100% accurate answer on what it is exactly capable of.

[11.07.2023 21:03:41] YR|Kodachi: We're named as Yumo Ronin, otherwise known as Valor Ronin, or Ronin of Bravery. Whichever you prefer.

[11.07.2023 21:03:49] LH~Drake: Drake: Since I doubt that they surpass our Spyglass.

[11.07.2023 21:04:33] YR|Kodachi: I understand, Drake. One curious like myself likes learning about such technology.

[11.07.2023 21:05:07] YR|Kodachi: I do not wish to hinder your pathway toward Omicrons. If you wish to proceed, I won't question no more.

[11.07.2023 21:05:36] YR|Kodachi: If you're more interested into our cause, I can present to you some more detailed explanations.

[11.07.2023 21:05:48] YR|Kodachi: But, I trust you've got your own concerns now up ahead.

[11.07.2023 21:06:21] LH~Drake: Drake: Uh.. I'm still thinking about something we could send you.

[11.07.2023 21:06:33] LH~Drake: Drake: But I guess we'll figure that out in time.

[11.07.2023 21:07:13] YR|Kodachi: Depends on how verstaile you are to export resources, and your technology that could prove productive for us.

[11.07.2023 21:07:30] YR|Kodachi: We could offer something in return, through in small quantities.

[11.07.2023 21:07:35] LH~Drake: Drake: Oh and by the way.. if you happend to come across somebody with cargo that isn't supposed to be in their cargohold.

[11.07.2023 21:07:55] LH~Drake: Drake: Do not hesistate to message me with visuals, I'll be paying you good credits for it.

[11.07.2023 21:08:20] LH~Drake: Drake: Not everyone in the Lane Hackers is allowed to utilize a Pilgrim Liner.

[11.07.2023 21:08:35] LH~Drake: Drake: I've done quite some things to get it.

[11.07.2023 21:08:37] YR|Kodachi: I suppose you're referring to technology of the Hacker heritage. 

[11.07.2023 21:09:14] YR|Kodachi: It sure is a rarity, and it's obvious. Dragons pose similar restrictions for similar reasons.

[11.07.2023 21:09:27] LH~Drake: Drake: Better said, you need to prove worthy first.

[11.07.2023 21:09:55] YR|Kodachi: Worthy, and knowing the use of such vessels.

[11.07.2023 21:10:40] LH~Drake: Drake: This is just a sidekick for me anyways.

[11.07.2023 21:11:08] YR|Kodachi: I was tricked into believing that you'd be transferring 'passengers' of some sort.

[11.07.2023 21:11:50] LH~Drake: Drake: Work and travel I guess.

[11.07.2023 21:12:32] YR|Kodachi: I've met numerous luxurious liners of spoiled individuals wandering dangerous sectors for adrenaline.

[11.07.2023 21:12:47] YR|Kodachi: Some of them have suffocated, for collaborating with the likes of Samura.

[11.07.2023 21:13:04] LH~Drake: Drake: Well.. my passengers usually have no "choice" of being on board.

[11.07.2023 21:13:39] YR|Kodachi: I'd be bold to assume what passengers those are.

[11.07.2023 21:13:52] LH~Drake: Drake: We both know it anyways.

[11.07.2023 21:14:12] YR|Kodachi: You mentioned the Outcasts. Does alert me of certain... matters, and their ideology.

[11.07.2023 21:14:56] YR|Kodachi: They're the ones that admit with pride, while others, like the Keiretsu, resort to concealing their ambitions.

[11.07.2023 21:15:01] LH~Drake: Drake: Well.. they pay quite well.

[11.07.2023 21:15:15] YR|Kodachi: Cleasing them off the face of the cosmos remains crucial.

[11.07.2023 21:15:50] YR|Kodachi: Well, I won't question much into that. Hackers have proven themselves competent, and much innovative.

[11.07.2023 21:15:54] LH~Drake: Drake: I don't think that it will ever happen, unless they somehow destroy themself.

[11.07.2023 21:16:29] YR|Kodachi: I'd be naive to negate. Seeing something of that sort in my lifetime would be foolish.

[11.07.2023 21:16:43] LH~Drake: Drake: You never know actually.

[11.07.2023 21:16:50] LH~Drake: Drake: Anything can happen anytime.

[11.07.2023 21:16:51] YR|Kodachi: Yet, I fight, and carry on the legacy. One day they shall fall. One can never anticipate how.

[11.07.2023 21:17:23] YR|Kodachi: Kusari has lost its lineage of legal successors. As long as it remains that way, we'll fire back.

[11.07.2023 21:18:13] YR|Kodachi: We had lost our master prior to carving the path toward exile. Giving up, or deviating from our virtues would be 

[11.07.2023 21:18:17] LH~Drake: Drake: We do the same, make the corporate weenies cry.

[11.07.2023 21:18:21] YR|Kodachi: opposite of our essence, and deceit.

[11.07.2023 21:18:55] YR|Kodachi: I've told you of certain 'traitors' amidst our structures, ones that portray themselves as 'masters.'

[11.07.2023 21:19:24] YR|Kodachi: The alleged 'Shoguns,' 'Daimyos,' and alike. How could I now feel the shame.

[11.07.2023 21:19:27] LH~Drake: Drake: Why do you not simply get -rid- of those.

[11.07.2023 21:19:32] YR|Kodachi: not*

[11.07.2023 21:19:51] YR|Kodachi: Inducing internal bloodshed over disagreements would shatter us from within.

[11.07.2023 21:20:17] YR|Kodachi: They're bound to realize their mistakes, as they have now faded away due to inefficiency.

[11.07.2023 21:20:56] YR|Kodachi: Abruptly adopting such irrelevant titules as successors of the Guard that preserved our master puts a stain - 

[11.07.2023 21:20:59] YR|Kodachi: - on our culture.

[11.07.2023 21:21:31] YR|Kodachi: An attempt to seek for power, while it makes no sense, and erodes us.

[11.07.2023 21:21:52] YR|Kodachi: Not much that ones like myself could have done, other than to stay true to our identity.

[11.07.2023 21:22:24] LH~Drake: Drake: Hm.. aren't you also on the look for power?

[11.07.2023 21:22:53] LH~Drake: Drake: That is rather more suitable to your identity that you understand of being a Blood Dragon?

[11.07.2023 21:22:56] YR|Kodachi: I'll rephrase that. Our battles are based on eradicating the deceit that exists in the Empire.

[11.07.2023 21:23:20] YR|Kodachi: The Keiretsu that had murdered our Master, Shogun Hideyoshi, must die.

[11.07.2023 21:23:42] YR|Kodachi: By cleansing such treachery, we may destabilize the Empire, and induce certain changes.

[11.07.2023 21:23:54] LH~Drake: Drake: I know about that, since your organization shares more or less something in common.

[11.07.2023 21:24:00] LH~Drake: Drake: With us.

[11.07.2023 21:24:17] YR|Kodachi: Those certain changes would mostly be based on replacing the illegal 'authorities,' with successors that we view as legitimate.

[11.07.2023 21:24:51] YR|Kodachi: Blood Dragons are successors of the Royal Guard. We may not involve ourselves into such power structures.

[11.07.2023 21:24:59] LH~Drake: Drake: In otherwords, simply put your people on the powerful positions.

[11.07.2023 21:25:37] YR|Kodachi: I just said. It's the matter of "successors" deemed legitimate.

[11.07.2023 21:25:37] LH~Drake: Drake: You see it as a duty to your betrayed ancestors then.

[11.07.2023 21:26:19] YR|Kodachi: The Empire has never felt any remorse, nor hold those who had murdered our Master accountable.

[11.07.2023 21:26:45] LH~Drake: Drake: Guess those who betrayed you were even more powerful than you think.

[11.07.2023 21:26:54] LH~Drake: Drake: As they have never been punished.

[11.07.2023 21:26:54] YR|Kodachi: It's difficult to predict, but, we would never crave for power.

[11.07.2023 21:27:17] YR|Kodachi: The Government made it happen, influenced by the Keiretsu.

[11.07.2023 21:27:26] YR|Kodachi: Samura, being the ones.

[11.07.2023 21:27:36] LH~Drake: Drake: Sure, but how will you deem somebody legitimate without having something to back it up?

[11.07.2023 21:27:53] YR|Kodachi: We do have certain support.

[11.07.2023 21:28:00] LH~Drake: Drake: How will you punish somebody of a "crime" without evidence?

[11.07.2023 21:28:28] LH~Drake: Drake: As sad as it sounds to me but the people of Kusari simply seem not to care about something that happend centuries ago?

[11.07.2023 21:29:22] YR|Kodachi: That's why Kusari has lost its uniqueness, and tradition. Same actors that had murdered our Master, nowadays -

[11.07.2023 21:29:31] LH~Drake: Drake: I think I can assume that the educational system has put it under the rug and has twisted the youth of Kusari to believe

[11.07.2023 21:29:34] LH~Drake: something else.

[11.07.2023 21:29:38] YR|Kodachi: - resort to similar means to keep their monopoly stable, and growing.

[11.07.2023 21:29:57] LH~Drake: Drake: Different house, same problems.

[11.07.2023 21:30:01] YR|Kodachi: Samura cooperates with terrorists to fulfill their wicked agenda.

[11.07.2023 21:30:26] YR|Kodachi: They are mere embodiment of evil, and deceit, that must be rooted out. Evidence is all at disposal.

[11.07.2023 21:30:50] YR|Kodachi: There are certain contacts deemed trusty. I am not privilged to reveal much, as it is not yet verified.

[11.07.2023 21:30:59] Tip: You were a new player once. If you see someone making obvious mistakes, talk to them and help them.

[11.07.2023 21:31:51] YR|Kodachi: I have seen many dealings in space the past two weeks. Most recent. And, I won't even utter what they've been - 

[11.07.2023 21:31:56] YR|Kodachi: - hiding for many centuries.

[11.07.2023 21:32:04] LH~Drake: Drake: Striving for justice only to end up being considered a terrorist.

[11.07.2023 21:32:24] YR|Kodachi: Bundschuh is much similar.

[11.07.2023 21:32:36] YR|Kodachi: The Rheinland revolutinaries, being branded such way.

[11.07.2023 21:32:59] LH~Drake: Drake: They had their chance to set things right in Rheinland.

[11.07.2023 21:33:12] LH~Drake: Drake: And once again they haven't been succesfull..

[11.07.2023 21:33:39] LH~Drake: Drake: I consider them spoiled students..

[11.07.2023 21:33:42] YR|Kodachi: Some changes might have been implemented, but, I still harbor hope for their objectives.

[11.07.2023 21:33:55] LH~Drake: Drake: Let's be realistic here..

[11.07.2023 21:34:13] YR|Kodachi: I do not wish to see someone like the Dragons to fall down, all shattered, having lost their centuries-long purpose.

[11.07.2023 21:34:16] LH~Drake: Drake: They will not do anything in Rheinland as it is in a strong grip of the Imperials.

[11.07.2023 21:34:54] LH~Drake: Drake: The Bundschuh is a "rather" young movement.

[11.07.2023 21:34:54] YR|Kodachi: It's a matter of Guerilla warfare, and proper contacts with publicly elected figues that can shape the public opinion.

[11.07.2023 21:35:32] YR|Kodachi: Sabotage could disclose many of the lies that have been hidden.

[11.07.2023 21:35:58] YR|Kodachi: Yes, much younger than us.

[11.07.2023 21:36:13] LH~Drake: Drake: Sabotage at the cost of people's life as the sabotage of the Alster Shipyard a few years ago.

[11.07.2023 21:36:53] YR|Kodachi: Sacrificing the minority for the sake of preserving a whole nation.

[11.07.2023 21:37:07] LH~Drake: Drake: Well.. the Unioners tried to send a "message"..

[11.07.2023 21:37:20] YR|Kodachi: I do not know how I could compare such events. Once more, Dragons like myself aren't much knowledgeable.

[11.07.2023 21:37:25] YR|Kodachi: We can't really rely on rumors.

[11.07.2023 21:38:07] LH~Drake: Drake: Simple facts..

[11.07.2023 21:38:12] YR|Kodachi: But, it's evident that you've had the practical exprience to eyewitness those happenings...

[11.07.2023 21:38:37] LH~Drake: Drake: Not to everything but, we have our eyes and ears.

[11.07.2023 21:38:55] LH~Drake: Drake: And since it was all over the news on any channel you couldn't really miss it.

[11.07.2023 21:39:41] YR|Kodachi: I might have been personally busy with Kusari-related cascading events during the time.

[11.07.2023 21:39:51] YR|Kodachi: But, I rarely let the 'news' do the thinking for me. 

[11.07.2023 21:39:56] LH~Drake: Drake: It was a time where we shifted our focus more on Rheinland.

[11.07.2023 21:41:11] YR|Kodachi: Gives me off a fairly distasteful impressions of their kind. Nowhere similar to the Dragons, or Hackers.

[11.07.2023 21:41:53] LH~Drake: Drake: Well.. that is their concern and how they will deal with the outcome.

[11.07.2023 21:42:24] LH~Drake: Drake: I'll be continueing my way to Tau-53 now, if you wish to acompany me, be my guest.

[11.07.2023 21:42:26] YR|Kodachi: We've had the first-hand experience of certain destructive terrorists seeking help from us.

[11.07.2023 21:42:46] YR|Kodachi: I may attempt, though, not much far. I am needed elsewhere.

[11.07.2023 21:43:53] LH~Drake: Drake: If the relations between our organizations begin to flourish again, I'll make sure to invite you to Leiden.

[11.07.2023 21:43:56] YR|Kodachi: Tau-53 has become wilderness. Abandoned. Many wrecks drifting the vast expanse.

[11.07.2023 21:44:10] LH~Drake: Drake: A good place to be unexpected.

[11.07.2023 21:44:26] YR|Kodachi: Our similarities might make it a tad bit easier.

[11.07.2023 21:45:10] LH~Drake: Drake: It is better we part our ways here Kodachi.

[11.07.2023 21:45:11] YR|Kodachi: Yumo Ronin surely wishes to expand its contact-list. Our ambitions remain identical to the Dragons.

[11.07.2023 21:45:35] LH~Drake: Drake: It will not give me a good spotlight if the Outcasts see us in Tau-37 together.

[11.07.2023 21:45:39] YR|Kodachi: I agree, Drake. Arigato for the intriguing exchange.

[11.07.2023 21:45:52] LH~Drake: Drake: Do not hesistate to send me a note if something comes up.

[11.07.2023 21:46:02] LH~Drake: Drake: Till next time Kodachi.

[11.07.2023 21:46:15] YR|Kodachi: I'll keep it in my mind, high priority somewhere, depends on how my diviosn develops.

[11.07.2023 21:46:28] YR|Kodachi: Sayonara as well.

[11.07.2023 21:46:40] LH~Drake: Drake: I'm sure you'll find plently of new recruits.

[11.07.2023 21:46:48] LH~Drake: Drake: Good bye.

[11.07.2023 21:47:16] YR|Kodachi: I did not offer much information on it, though with contact, I'll disclose much.

Scans in Hokkaido: 1

05-07-2023 A.S: GRN, Katsuko Komatsu

Code:
[05.07.2023 13:20:25] YR|Kodachi: Interesting ship. Should have, anticipated it myself.

[05.07.2023 13:20:46] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I'm sure this can't be the first Lynx you've seen in your life.

[05.07.2023 13:20:59] YR|Kodachi: Venturing into the Taus proves not to be an enjoyable experience. Yet, not that I mind much. I am adaptable.

[05.07.2023 13:21:13] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: You don't like the Taus?

[05.07.2023 13:21:17] YR|Kodachi: The Ship isn't exactly the source of such sensation. Rather your cause.

[05.07.2023 13:21:35] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Sad to hear. I find the place to be full of nostalgia, you know.

[05.07.2023 13:21:38] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: It's kind of an old haunt.

[05.07.2023 13:21:45] YR|Kodachi: Dishonorable. One would be naive to believe that such have perished.

[05.07.2023 13:22:01] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Isn't that line a little tired by now?

[05.07.2023 13:22:13] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Come on. You can do better!

[05.07.2023 13:22:13] YR|Kodachi: Taus have long become a playground for ones exercising power.

[05.07.2023 13:22:33] YR|Kodachi: And as such, wrecks throughout it, serve nothing but proof to my words.

[05.07.2023 13:22:56] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Yeah. This place was something of a hotbed.

[05.07.2023 13:23:06] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Now I'm not sure what it is. An easy patrol, usually.

[05.07.2023 13:23:34] YR|Kodachi: Its mystery dimished decades ago. A shame to witness what it's become.

[05.07.2023 13:23:52] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: You'll find no argument here.

[05.07.2023 13:24:14] YR|Kodachi: Your nation seemed all to enthusiatic to unleash its fury on whoever presented an obstacle.

[05.07.2023 13:24:26] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: It's not /my/ nation. I just picked up the torch.

[05.07.2023 13:24:27] YR|Kodachi: Kusari, my home, being one of them.

[05.07.2023 13:24:35] YR|Kodachi: I can judge by the name.

[05.07.2023 13:24:54] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: It seemed like a great idea at the time, you understand.

[05.07.2023 13:25:07] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Not that I'm full of regret or anything -- I don't wanna give you a sob story. I've enjoyed it.

[05.07.2023 13:25:15] YR|Kodachi: Depends on who you had presented before the departure.

[05.07.2023 13:25:29] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I was no-one important.

[05.07.2023 13:26:03] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I still am, but the intervening... decade? has been an interesting ride.

[05.07.2023 13:26:07] YR|Kodachi: No care for virtues of your former home. How come? 

[05.07.2023 13:26:23] YR|Kodachi: Personal requirement for genocides?

[05.07.2023 13:26:45] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I didn't really fit in and the pay was compelling. Hey, now -- that wasn't my doing.

[05.07.2023 13:26:46] YR|Kodachi: Sounds difficult to justify.

[05.07.2023 13:27:32] YR|Kodachi: I put you all in the same basket. Loyal to such a cause is sufficient for me to deem you as such.

[05.07.2023 13:28:02] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Maybe. Even Leeds was years ago now, though.

[05.07.2023 13:28:32] CallMeSenpai: Greeting

[05.07.2023 13:28:32] YR|Kodachi: It's fairly recent, and, you, feel no remorse. Nor does your so-called government.

[05.07.2023 13:28:34] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Everyone who could really answer for that has long since slithered off somewhere.

[05.07.2023 13:28:38] YR|Kodachi: Konbanwa once more, IMG.

[05.07.2023 13:28:41] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Yes, hello, little miner.

[05.07.2023 13:29:03] CallMeSenpai: im gonna test the mining 

[05.07.2023 13:29:07] YR|Kodachi: You sound ignorant of certain... things that have happened to your government.

[05.07.2023 13:29:08] CallMeSenpai: hope it goes right this time

[05.07.2023 13:29:18] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: You and me both, miner. Good luck!

[05.07.2023 13:29:24] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: And no, I'm fairly up to speed. At least I think I am.

[05.07.2023 13:29:42] CallMeSenpai: goodluck

[05.07.2023 13:29:57] YR|Kodachi: Sympathizers of the 'Royal Navy' who have never been accountable for the mass crimes, are seemingly -

[05.07.2023 13:30:11] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I know most of my battlegroup went over to the Union months ago. I know many of the higher-ups got amnesty.

[05.07.2023 13:30:12] YR|Kodachi: - a part of the existing government. A stain on humanity, that can't be redeemed so easily.

[05.07.2023 13:30:21] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Yes, yes. You don't have to tell me twice.

[05.07.2023 13:30:44] YR|Kodachi: Your internal 'revolutions' have been futile now. Seems to be, all the same.

[05.07.2023 13:31:04] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: It's different now. Worse, by some accounts.

[05.07.2023 13:31:12] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I've never been a citizen, so I couldn't really tell you.

[05.07.2023 13:31:26] YR|Kodachi: Worse as in for its prosperity, or you?

[05.07.2023 13:32:02] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: For the House itself. For me, it's more like a slow, agonising sort of death.

[05.07.2023 13:32:18] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: There's less of us every day. Less parts to go around, fuel for the ships, et cetera.

[05.07.2023 13:32:18] YR|Kodachi: Sure, makes sense. Can't deny. 

[05.07.2023 13:32:30] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I'm sure you can sympathise, right? It can't be easy out your end either.

[05.07.2023 13:32:31] YR|Kodachi: Who's left to fund such extremism.

[05.07.2023 13:32:41] YR|Kodachi: I do not. We share nothing in common.

[05.07.2023 13:33:15] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Two so-called terrorists championing a royal regime from a bygone era with little to no hope of actual success?

[05.07.2023 13:33:28] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: There are a lot of parallels, actually.

[05.07.2023 13:34:09] YR|Kodachi: Our battle for retaliation holds ancient roots. Our people have been betrayed, and killed. 

[05.07.2023 13:34:17] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I've even put some Naval Forces in the ground in my time. Imperialist, Republican... you name it.

[05.07.2023 13:34:38] YR|Kodachi: Legitimate masters lost their lives over monopolistic keiretsu's whose ambitions exhibit no moral tolerance.

[05.07.2023 13:35:09] YR|Kodachi: We're striving to reclaim the honor that was lost. And you? What honor do you stand by?

[05.07.2023 13:35:20] YR|Kodachi: Your pride has cost billions of lives.

[05.07.2023 13:35:33] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I don't stand for anything but myself. That's why I told you I regret none of it, you see?

[05.07.2023 13:35:47] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I might still be a nobody, but at least this way I've lived.

[05.07.2023 13:36:03] YR|Kodachi: You fuel the warmachine that slaughters any obstacle on its path.

[05.07.2023 13:36:06] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Made friends, wingmen, seen things I could never have dreamed of if I'd stayed at home.

[05.07.2023 13:36:17] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Well, not anymore. There's not much of a machine left.

[05.07.2023 13:36:39] YR|Kodachi: That's your perception, and for those who suffered have a vastly different reality.

[05.07.2023 13:36:58] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I don't think you care as much as you claim to care.

[05.07.2023 13:37:06] YR|Kodachi: There is. Gallia chose to adopt your 'masters' into the Government.

[05.07.2023 13:37:21] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Some of them, yes.

[05.07.2023 13:37:35] YR|Kodachi: Kusari's been assault by your genocidal forces. My duty lies in preserving our prosperity. Through any means necessary.

[05.07.2023 13:38:07] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: That was ten years ago -- and it was hardly an assault. More of an overnight smash-and-go.

[05.07.2023 13:38:42] YR|Kodachi: Matters were much worse than just a momentary assault. Bretonia was on your aim. 

[05.07.2023 13:38:54] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Yeah. And?

[05.07.2023 13:39:00] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I never really liked Bretonia or its people anyway.

[05.07.2023 13:39:15] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I can't imagine you have many Bretonian friends, either.

[05.07.2023 13:39:17] YR|Kodachi: That's the consequence of failing to aim before shooting.

[05.07.2023 13:39:42] YR|Kodachi: Just, massacre billions of lives, and more on the side as if it's a virtual reality.

[05.07.2023 13:40:11] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: You have to understand, I've been hit with the Leeds 'gotcha' so many times by now it's started to lose its sting.

[05.07.2023 13:40:20] YR|Kodachi: That was your primary purpose, that's not been lost. You had obtained such power in the absence of connections between our -

[05.07.2023 13:40:22] YR|Kodachi: - houses.

[05.07.2023 13:40:25] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: There's nothing you or anyone else can do about that now.

[05.07.2023 13:40:51] YR|Kodachi: Ironic. There is. 

[05.07.2023 13:40:53] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: And take it from me, Leeds wasn't much to look at even before the WMDs.

[05.07.2023 13:41:21] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: A great big ball of smog and iron, hanging in a cloud of its own filth.

[05.07.2023 13:41:35] YR|Kodachi: I do not particularly have any care for Gaijin who choose not to interfere in my business.

[05.07.2023 13:41:55] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: When you see the way Bretonia has always been content to wallow in its own muck, you start to wonder. You really do.

[05.07.2023 13:42:00] YR|Kodachi: I would exactly waste resources, nor stain my reputation, nor my dignity by aimlessly targeting civilians.

[05.07.2023 13:42:10] YR|Kodachi: Wouldnt*

[05.07.2023 13:42:23] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: You leave that for less principled people, do you?

[05.07.2023 13:42:25] YR|Kodachi: But, once more. We hold nothing in common.

[05.07.2023 13:42:35] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Or does it not count if you do it in the name of your Emperor?

[05.07.2023 13:43:01] YR|Kodachi: What Emperor? You truly believe we serve the government?

[05.07.2023 13:43:20] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: You have one of your own, don't you? Or is that just a shogun? Forgive me, it's been a while.

[05.07.2023 13:43:23] YR|Kodachi: Their illicit deeds. Most notably, serve their... illegimate government?

[05.07.2023 13:43:49] YR|Kodachi: Dragon do not have Shoguns. And, I hate to say this but, certain Dragons have had self-proclaimed ones.

[05.07.2023 13:44:02] YR|Kodachi: And, I stand ashamed by such.

[05.07.2023 13:44:12] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: After a while I stopped trying to tell the difference between your various sects, I'll be honest with you.

[05.07.2023 13:44:13] Rules Tip: Pirates can issue only one cargo or monetary demand per encounter. Telling the trader to stop is not a demand, however, if they ignore the request, they can be shot down without issuing further demands.

[05.07.2023 13:44:17] YR|Kodachi: We're not political actors. We're successors of the Royal Guard.

[05.07.2023 13:44:43] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Well, armed rebellion against the state is a political matter whether you want it to be or not, no?

[05.07.2023 13:44:48] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Just to play devil's advocate.

[05.07.2023 13:45:11] YR|Kodachi: It's a rebellion that strives to eradicate treachery that we had experienced.

[05.07.2023 13:45:28] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Hundreds of years ago, if I'm not mistaken.

[05.07.2023 13:45:31] YR|Kodachi: And such treachery exists nowadays, and does more or less the same things. And, must be removed.

[05.07.2023 13:46:22] YR|Kodachi: The Empire has lost some of its most competent guards to treachery. And its done nothing to redeem themselves.

[05.07.2023 13:46:36] YR|Kodachi: Centuries have passed, and the same strings are being pulled.

[05.07.2023 13:48:45] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Right, but my point is that's a long time to nurse a grudge.

[05.07.2023 13:49:35] YR|Kodachi: A way to seek retaliation for grave injustice. One of the most prestigious figures was removed.

[05.07.2023 13:50:05] YR|Kodachi: Same entities resume with such, or even worse acts, as I've witnessed in the last few weeks.

[05.07.2023 13:50:19] YR|Kodachi: Mentioning them would undermine my intellect, and I won't.

[05.07.2023 13:50:22] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Been chewing through Naval Forces patrols, then, have you?

[05.07.2023 13:50:45] YR|Kodachi: Great observation.

[05.07.2023 13:50:58] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Enjoyed it, I'm guessing?

[05.07.2023 13:51:21] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Because, honestly, I'd say that's why you do it. Same as me. It's not /really/ about the bigger picture. That's just a handy-

[05.07.2023 13:51:22] YR|Kodachi: No, not entirely. Wish it had been the Keiretsu.

[05.07.2023 13:51:29] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: -justification for it.

[05.07.2023 13:51:36] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Oh, I see! That's refreshing. A bit of empathy.

[05.07.2023 13:52:13] YR|Kodachi: I did not feel 'useless' to suddenly start disabling ones that hinder our retaliation ambitions.

[05.07.2023 13:52:24] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Well, they're only doing their jobs.

[05.07.2023 13:52:53] YR|Kodachi: So does my brethren. Duty. Not a job.

[05.07.2023 13:53:28] YR|Kodachi: They're not entertainment tools, but pitiful supporters of deceit.

[05.07.2023 13:53:35] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I think it's different when you do it for a paycheck as opposed to for some kind of ideology.

[05.07.2023 13:53:39] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Or for your own thrills.

[05.07.2023 13:54:10] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: That's how I see it, at least. I used to do this for money. Now I do it because I've got nowhere else to turn.

[05.07.2023 13:54:13] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: It does change things.

[05.07.2023 13:54:27] YR|Kodachi: Of course. Differences exist, obviously.

[05.07.2023 13:54:44] YR|Kodachi: For money or enjoyment? Sounds like both.

[05.07.2023 13:54:54] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Both at first. Now I just try to enjoy it.

[05.07.2023 13:55:12] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: What am I gonna spend my credits on, anyway? I don't get out much.

[05.07.2023 13:55:21] YR|Kodachi: I stand ready to sacrifice myself each day in the meantime, to leave behind a legacy. 

[05.07.2023 13:55:44] YR|Kodachi: Credits come and go. What freedom do you anticipate from them?

[05.07.2023 13:55:53] YR|Kodachi: Genuine freedom comes from justice, which, unfortunately there is not.

[05.07.2023 13:56:14] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I always wanted to just follow through with the program. Service, citizenship, and a fat plot of Bretonian land once the war-

[05.07.2023 13:56:15] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: -was done.

[05.07.2023 13:56:23] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Settle down, start a family, jack all this in. You know?

[05.07.2023 13:58:38] YR|Kodachi: That was a weird blackout. Anyway.

[05.07.2023 13:58:58] YR|Kodachi: Isn't it a shame that your loyalists failed to achieve their ultimate goal?

[05.07.2023 13:59:13] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I used to be more upset about it.

[05.07.2023 13:59:18] YR|Kodachi: All of that power that had been slowly reaching its peak before the events,

[05.07.2023 13:59:36] YR|Kodachi: Now, you've lost your purpose. Gallia has. No?

[05.07.2023 13:59:59] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I think there are very few of us who honestly believe the old order stands a chance of coming back.

[05.07.2023 14:00:21] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Most people with any sense went back over with the Montmorency as the war with Kusari died down.

[05.07.2023 14:00:35] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: There are still plenty of fanatics, though. I could introduce you to some.

[05.07.2023 14:00:49] YR|Kodachi: I didn't doubt.

[05.07.2023 14:01:10] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I don't know if you'd really get on, though. You'd probably be at each other's throats.

[05.07.2023 14:01:19] YR|Kodachi: I do not particularly enjoy such pilots wandering the Taus, borders of Kusari. Yet, I also hate wasting resources.

[05.07.2023 14:01:37] YR|Kodachi: We're very limited, and too few.

[05.07.2023 14:01:46] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: At least you're self-aware.

[05.07.2023 14:02:27] YR|Kodachi: Being naive doesn't contribute much to my role.

[05.07.2023 14:02:41] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: No, but I swear some of you get off on the whole bravado thing.

[05.07.2023 14:02:42] YR|Kodachi: I'd rather utilize my skillset more wisely.

[05.07.2023 14:02:54] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: It's just refreshing to see some pragmatism buried in there, that's all.

[05.07.2023 14:03:08] YR|Kodachi: And to your fortune, you're not nearby our paths.

[05.07.2023 14:03:28] YR|Kodachi: You've mentioned our Shoguns.

[05.07.2023 14:03:34] YR|Kodachi: So-called Shoguns.

[05.07.2023 14:03:46] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I'm peripherally aware of them, yes.

[05.07.2023 14:03:56] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Like I said, it's been a while since I was at school.

[05.07.2023 14:03:57] YR|Kodachi: I believe that those are the ones that you so persistently refer to.

[05.07.2023 14:04:32] YR|Kodachi: Such figures neglect what we stand for. It's a dishonor, and a shame that I have to endure everytime I encounter someone.

[05.07.2023 14:04:45] YR|Kodachi: Yet, my people, are much different. Authentic. Loyal. Determined.

[05.07.2023 14:05:16] YR|Kodachi: I presume that's the cost that we will have to pay along the way. The incompetence that existed during certain period. Briefly.

[05.07.2023 14:05:37] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Every organisation has its ups and downs.

[05.07.2023 14:06:23] YR|Kodachi: Some, even within our core culture, fail to grasp what a Ronin is.

[05.07.2023 14:06:51] YR|Kodachi: I believe even you, who hasn't been to Kusar in awhile, is aware.

[05.07.2023 14:07:05] YR|Kodachi: And, I hope you never arrive until you redeem yourself.

[05.07.2023 14:07:16] YR|Kodachi: But, from the looks of things, seems far too difficult.

[05.07.2023 14:07:24] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I'll take that as a sort of backhanded best wishes, but I don't think it'll be happening.

[05.07.2023 14:07:35] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I don't want to go home, anyway, in truth. I still don't think I'd fit in.

[05.07.2023 14:07:49] YR|Kodachi: I'd be after you.

[05.07.2023 14:08:12] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I used to fly with Naval Forces pilots, actually. Years ago. Under the Republican regime.

[05.07.2023 14:08:22] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: We'd run joint patrols looking for the Imperialists in exile. You know the ones?

[05.07.2023 14:08:41] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Not Dragons -- the Samura-backed ones.

[05.07.2023 14:08:47] YR|Kodachi: I do know of course. A shame the Dragons did not utilize their assets well at the time.

[05.07.2023 14:09:02] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Yeah. My point is, even on those patrols, I knew I was disgusting the Naval Forces officers.

[05.07.2023 14:09:03] YR|Kodachi: So many opportunities were present. Yet, I was inexperienced enough to giveout proper orders.

[05.07.2023 14:09:07] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: You could hear it in their voices, you know?

[05.07.2023 14:09:30] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: It wouldn't be any different if I went home now. I think even my accent is diverging.

[05.07.2023 14:09:41] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: And I wouldn't stand for feeling like an outcast in my own nation.

[05.07.2023 14:09:51] YR|Kodachi: "Samura" will be removed, one way or another.

[05.07.2023 14:10:05] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Yeah, yeah. Good luck with that. You won't be the first to try and you won't be the last.

[05.07.2023 14:10:08] YR|Kodachi: When so far-away from home, your accent must change. It's easy to notice.

[05.07.2023 14:10:42] YR|Kodachi: Our methods were misinterpreted by the "Shoguns," and they are as it stands, fairly efficient if handled well.

[05.07.2023 14:11:00] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: You're still trying to bring down a keiretsu by nipping at its heels.

[05.07.2023 14:11:18] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Don't get me wrong, I can sympathise with the whole, like -- impossible task thing better than most.

[05.07.2023 14:11:22] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I'm not criticising you.

[05.07.2023 14:11:24] YR|Kodachi: Piece by piece.

[05.07.2023 14:11:30] YR|Kodachi: We can't achieve everything at once.

[05.07.2023 14:11:40] YR|Kodachi: They are losing their influence, slowly.

[05.07.2023 14:12:12] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I seem to remember the Kishiro-led government wasn't that much better, though, from your point of view.

[05.07.2023 14:12:24] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Not that I'm an expert. I only occasionally ran Tau patrols back then.

[05.07.2023 14:12:32] YR|Kodachi: They're still an illegitimate government. By that, I mean, not the legal successors.

[05.07.2023 14:13:14] YR|Kodachi: Another Keiretsu that's far too connected with similar ideologies akin to Samura. Yet, we do not aim at them primarily.

[05.07.2023 14:13:27] YR|Kodachi: Opportunistic targets.

[05.07.2023 14:13:38] YR|Kodachi: Legal successors is the main point.

[05.07.2023 14:13:51] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Mmmhmm. You still don't see any similarities?

[05.07.2023 14:14:35] YR|Kodachi: No. They're not the successors as long as we haven't gotten the opportunity to eradicate the treachery.

[05.07.2023 14:14:43] YR|Kodachi: Completely.

[05.07.2023 14:14:55] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Not quite what I meant.

[05.07.2023 14:14:57] YR|Kodachi: And, an Outcast. 

[05.07.2023 14:14:59] EmptyPoint: contact

[05.07.2023 14:15:04] YR|Kodachi: You can elaborate.

[05.07.2023 14:15:18] YR|Kodachi: What does this one even wish to do? Move out, you miserable smuggler.

[05.07.2023 14:15:21] EmptyPoint: dude dont move pls

[05.07.2023 14:15:28] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Bite me, how about that?

[05.07.2023 14:15:41] EmptyPoint: and better leave the system

[05.07.2023 14:15:48] YR|Kodachi: Last thing that I wish to see is a criminal with no healthy ambitions.

[05.07.2023 14:15:52] YR|Kodachi: You leave the system.

[05.07.2023 14:15:52] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Or you'll do what, exactly?

[05.07.2023 14:16:15] EmptyPoint: ok you have 10 sek for leave

[05.07.2023 14:16:16] YR|Kodachi: Far too naive to believe you can so willingly waste resources and shoot empty space.

[05.07.2023 14:16:23] YR|Kodachi: What?

[05.07.2023 14:16:25] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Yeah? Here, let me answer you more promptly.

[05.07.2023 14:16:30] EmptyPoint: or die

[05.07.2023 14:16:56] YR|Kodachi: Right. Let me shake you up a bit.

[05.07.2023 14:25:07] YR|Kodachi: You'll regret the day of ever entering the Kusari. Outcast.

[05.07.2023 14:31:43] Death: EmptyPoint was put out of action by YR|Kodachi (Gun).

[05.07.2023 14:32:03] YR|Kodachi: How do these maintain smuggling chains, I can't understand.

[05.07.2023 14:32:03] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Tch. Not what I needed -- or what I was expecting.

[05.07.2023 14:32:31] YR|Kodachi: Their Cardamine route is at least not hindered. As it should be.

[05.07.2023 14:32:33] YR|Kodachi: now*

[05.07.2023 14:32:47] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: More or less all you can hope for, really.

[05.07.2023 14:32:48] YR|Kodachi: That poisonous drug that corrupts the society in Kusari.

[05.07.2023 14:33:12] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I'm sure your lady friends don't agree.

[05.07.2023 14:33:31] YR|Kodachi: The Chrysanthemums who are loyal to their cause would agree.

[05.07.2023 14:33:45] YR|Kodachi: However, they seem to have gotten far too radical. Though, I do not mind it all that much.

[05.07.2023 14:34:02] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: It's been years since I spoke face-to-face with one. I never found them very interesting.

[05.07.2023 14:34:21] YR|Kodachi: It's unfortunate. I wish they concentrated the efforts into their founding principles that are now seemingly lost.

[05.07.2023 14:34:44] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Money talks. That's the bottom line.

[05.07.2023 14:34:59] YR|Kodachi: Credits aren't the only reason. I wish it was.

[05.07.2023 14:35:08] YR|Kodachi: They've become overly addicted to Cardamine.

[05.07.2023 14:35:19] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I know. They're all addicts, right?

[05.07.2023 14:35:22] YR|Kodachi: And, it burdens me. What can I do, really. Nothing much.

[05.07.2023 14:35:47] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Sometimes you don't get to pick youjr friends.

[05.07.2023 14:35:57] YR|Kodachi: Ones that represent their cells are. Independent are usually different, and more rational. Probably.

[05.07.2023 14:36:13] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I'll believe it when I see it. I've never rated them highly.

[05.07.2023 14:36:46] YR|Kodachi: They're our friends, and we'll keep them as such. Our ambitions shouldn't differ much.

[05.07.2023 14:37:09] YR|Kodachi: But, we can't affect their newly founded methodology that seems to disregard matriarchy.

[05.07.2023 14:37:24] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: They gave that up, did they?

[05.07.2023 14:37:37] YR|Kodachi: By words, no. Deeds. it's questionable.

[05.07.2023 14:38:17] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I get you. Well, even I can hope they stand for a bit more than peddling drugs to teenagers.

[05.07.2023 14:38:45] YR|Kodachi: They have opportunities to seize the drug for profit, at least that's how I personally view it.

[05.07.2023 14:38:50] YR|Kodachi: Fund their cause more wisely.

[05.07.2023 14:39:15] YR|Kodachi: Outcasts as they are will never be welcome in Kusari. They're an obstacle to prosperity.

[05.07.2023 14:39:29] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: On that we can agree, I guess.

[05.07.2023 14:39:38] YR|Kodachi: And, our aims are for the betterment of the society, in the long-term.

[05.07.2023 14:39:39] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I've just always found them arrogant. Stuck up.

[05.07.2023 14:40:10] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I wouldn't say I've ever /liked/ the miners here, but I definitely sympathise with them.

[05.07.2023 14:40:22] YR|Kodachi: If they send out pilots that that gunboat to safeguard the chain, then, I'd worry if I were them.

[05.07.2023 14:40:24] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Horrible place to make a living.

[05.07.2023 14:40:33] YR|Kodachi: like that*

[05.07.2023 14:40:59] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: He's not the first moron in Maltese colours I've seen, and he definitely won't be the last.

[05.07.2023 14:41:10] YR|Kodachi: IMG navigates some strange, and muddy waters, of course. Far too difficult.

[05.07.2023 14:41:31] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: They do what they have to to survive. I admire them more and more as time goes on.

[05.07.2023 14:41:36] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: It's a miracle Java's still standing.

[05.07.2023 14:41:57] YR|Kodachi: It's strategic location must 

[05.07.2023 14:42:00] YR|Kodachi: prevail.

[05.07.2023 14:42:08] YR|Kodachi: Would be disastrous to lose.

[05.07.2023 14:42:26] YR|Kodachi: They've never bothered us, or our views.

[05.07.2023 14:44:30] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Yeah, I know.

[05.07.2023 14:44:36] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: That's part of why it's a miracle.

[05.07.2023 14:44:49] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: They tolerate everyone and somehow managed to avoid pissing off any one side too much.

[05.07.2023 14:45:14] YR|Kodachi: A proper way to handle diplomacy.

[05.07.2023 14:45:36] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: They came close to provoking an occupation a couple of times, I think.

[05.07.2023 14:45:54] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Truth be told, I don't understand why we never kicked them out in the first place. I guess even back in those days-

[05.07.2023 14:45:57] YR|Kodachi: Put yourself in their shoes during the wars.

[05.07.2023 14:46:01] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: -GMS was never fully trusted.

[05.07.2023 14:46:26] [FLG]Hercule: Oh, look! A lost madman?

[05.07.2023 14:46:28] YR|Kodachi: What a coincidence. Another interesting vessel.

[05.07.2023 14:46:30] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: You're late, Maquisard.

[05.07.2023 14:46:34] [FLG]Hercule: I am? 

[05.07.2023 14:46:44] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: We've been out here doing our civic duty. Cleaning up drug smugglers.

[05.07.2023 14:46:54] [FLG]Hercule: Civic duty *laughs*

[05.07.2023 14:47:09] [FLG]Hercule: Did you then go and glassed some more planets? 

[05.07.2023 14:47:11] YR|Kodachi: I believe you two don't get along well.

[05.07.2023 14:47:17] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Oh, I know.

[05.07.2023 14:47:21] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Never heard /that/ one before.

[05.07.2023 14:47:27] YR|Kodachi: Seems new.

[05.07.2023 14:47:34] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Try and be at least a little more original, won't you?

[05.07.2023 14:47:35] [FLG]Hercule: Nor rusprising

[05.07.2023 14:47:40] [FLG]Hercule: Well, you know

[05.07.2023 14:47:46] [FLG]Hercule: I have my role, I play it

[05.07.2023 14:47:52] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Besides, if you're looking for the real war criminals, Burgundy's a few systems deeper.

[05.07.2023 14:48:05] YR|Kodachi: That was a rather swift engagement.

[05.07.2023 14:48:37] YR|Kodachi: Taus surely allure many strange Gallic entities. I am not very fond of that.

[05.07.2023 14:50:13] YR|Kodachi: Fortunately it's nowhere near our interest paths.

[05.07.2023 14:53:07] Death: [FLG]Hercule was put out of action by GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu (Mine).

[05.07.2023 14:53:20] YR|Kodachi: Endured.

[05.07.2023 14:53:30] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: The rust is showing, I'm afraid! Yeowch.

[05.07.2023 14:53:37] YR|Kodachi: And regained the bots. Well.

[05.07.2023 14:53:39] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I didn't expect to almost get sucker-punched.

[05.07.2023 14:54:10] YR|Kodachi: Seems like different vessels will keep on attempting to endanger the sector.

[05.07.2023 14:54:25] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Yes, well. I'm sure they're all justified in their own little frames of mind.

[05.07.2023 14:54:26] YR|Kodachi: It's dangerous after all.

[05.07.2023 14:54:53] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Not like I'm too cut up about it. It'll make a change to have something on the logs for a patrol report, for once.

[05.07.2023 14:54:59] YR|Kodachi: I'm not impressed by their attempts to catch their adversaries off-guard, instead to honorably fight it off.

[05.07.2023 14:55:10] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: You get used to it.

[05.07.2023 14:55:44] YR|Kodachi: Sometimes, I do venture into Taus to scout out for dangers that lurk. And, it's been intriguing so far.

[05.07.2023 14:55:54] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I thought you said you didn't like the Taus.

[05.07.2023 14:56:00] YR|Kodachi: Never can I guess what lingers around our borders.

[05.07.2023 14:56:22] YR|Kodachi: Taus have been ruined by imperalism. Their spirit is fairly gone.

[05.07.2023 14:56:36] YR|Kodachi: And, threats do not only exist from within.

[05.07.2023 14:57:05] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Yeah. I'm sure the occasional Naval Forces patrol pokes its head in, just as much as everyone else does.

[05.07.2023 14:57:29] YR|Kodachi: Oftentimes they do. Much more than me. Gives me further justification.

[05.07.2023 14:57:44] YR|Kodachi: Samura's influence is also prevalent. They used not to anticipate our strikes so far.

[05.07.2023 14:58:10] YR|Kodachi: I've been hoping to eyewitness one here, but so far, no 'luck.'

[05.07.2023 14:58:15] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Feels like just yesterday I had to make nice with Samura trading convoys as they plied the lanes.

[05.07.2023 14:58:41] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Didn't really like it then. I haven't seen any knocking around in a while, but it's liberating to know I don't have to-

[05.07.2023 14:58:44] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: -act nice anymore, you know?

[05.07.2023 14:59:19] YR|Kodachi: You need to take advantage of the 'liberty,' and choose not to 'enjoy' the battles that do not benefit you.

[05.07.2023 14:59:26] YR|Kodachi: Well, what cause do you really stand by. You do not care.

[05.07.2023 14:59:47] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I just put one foot in front of the other now, yeah. You're right.

[05.07.2023 14:59:47] YR|Kodachi: I forgot joy.

[05.07.2023 15:00:30] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I'll die in the cockpit before I'm forty, probably. I had to come to terms with that some time ago.

[05.07.2023 15:00:46] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: The least I can do is try and enjoy things along the way.

[05.07.2023 15:01:10] YR|Kodachi: I ancticipate my sacrifice at any given moment, and I try to prepare beforehand.

[05.07.2023 15:01:32] YR|Kodachi: Even though I've grown weary of the battles, remains my duty, and honor.

[05.07.2023 15:01:34] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Yeah, that fits.

[05.07.2023 15:02:11] YR|Kodachi: From the looks of things, Gallia has its own share of issues from within. Seems not so easy to fix.

[05.07.2023 15:02:29] YR|Kodachi: Doesn't grant them the privilege to conduct any meaningful operations.

[05.07.2023 15:02:34] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Ah, it's just like anywhere else. Maybe looking back on it, the war was never winnable in the first place.

[05.07.2023 15:02:45] YR|Kodachi: And, I enjoy such circumstances. Doesn't endanger my home.

[05.07.2023 15:03:12] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Trashed my retirement plan, though.

[05.07.2023 15:03:29] YR|Kodachi: No backup? 

[05.07.2023 15:03:32] YR|Kodachi: Just fight?

[05.07.2023 15:03:50] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: They said we'd get residency -- maybe even citizenship -- and pensions after the war. In the Foreign Legion, I mean.

[05.07.2023 15:04:03] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: For obvious reasons, that all fell through.

[05.07.2023 15:04:43] YR|Kodachi: Promise of peaceful life, and wealth. How else would you attract someone unwilling to die by -your- wars.

[05.07.2023 15:04:55] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: It was a good promise. I really liked it.

[05.07.2023 15:05:39] YR|Kodachi: I'll never receive such an offer. Well, I do not need it anyhow.

[05.07.2023 15:05:49] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Yeah. Like I said, you have, like -- conviction.

[05.07.2023 15:06:02] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: It makes me a little bit jealous. I never had that.

[05.07.2023 15:06:41] YR|Kodachi: It fuels morale to the very end, and fulfills my spirit. When I leave this cursed world, I'll know that I've left behind -

[05.07.2023 15:06:48] YR|Kodachi: - something worth knowing, and following.

[05.07.2023 15:07:02] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Very spiritual.

[05.07.2023 15:07:06] YR|Kodachi: Credits can't grand such luxury.

[05.07.2023 15:07:19] YR|Kodachi: Dragons have been trained, and taught to think for their own.

[05.07.2023 15:07:41] YR|Kodachi: And, I do not include 21 year old 'Shoguns' that we 'had.'

[05.07.2023 15:07:51] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I can well imagine.

[05.07.2023 15:08:31] YR|Kodachi: Internal dissent would just make the matters worse.

[05.07.2023 15:08:54] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: You're preaching to the choir here. Once, I was a cog in a machine carving up half the sector.

[05.07.2023 15:08:58] YR|Kodachi: And so, they were left alone, only to later drown in shame of their self-proclaimed 'experience,' and 'master-like' traits.

[05.07.2023 15:09:11] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Now, the maintenance teams can barely find spare parts for me.

[05.07.2023 15:09:40] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I think you've got a more interesting perspective than I first thought.

[05.07.2023 15:10:07] YR|Kodachi: Gallia is a self-sufficient house, unlike any other in Sirius.

[05.07.2023 15:10:33] YR|Kodachi: They all depend on one another by different means. Hence, the centuries long 'peace' that was held at some point.

[05.07.2023 15:11:00] YR|Kodachi: Civil unrest has always existed. Kusari has induced its own since the death of our master.

[05.07.2023 15:11:22] YR|Kodachi: The Government. Excuse me. 

[05.07.2023 15:11:47] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: It's like that everywhere, though. Nowhere's perfect.

[05.07.2023 15:11:54] YR|Kodachi: Including the whole Kusari, where most of it remains ignorant, and gathers info from the propaganda--is innocent.

[05.07.2023 15:12:26] YR|Kodachi: Could have been better if our culture was preserved much better.

[05.07.2023 15:12:38] YR|Kodachi: "It is what it is."

[05.07.2023 15:12:52] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: You've got that right. Times changed.

[05.07.2023 15:13:05] YR|Kodachi: You do enjoy thrusting around. That stands out.

[05.07.2023 15:13:09] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Ah, you almost make me wish I could wind the clock back.

[05.07.2023 15:13:20] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Haha, well. I've already had someone try to suck me out once today, you know?

[05.07.2023 15:13:35] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I've always been twitchy in the cockpit.

[05.07.2023 15:14:12] YR|Kodachi: Would you opt for Gallia again, if you were to build a time machine?

[05.07.2023 15:14:15] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Maybe that's why I wear the damn ship out so fast.

[05.07.2023 15:14:28] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Hmm. I dunno, really, in all honesty. Maybe if I knew what I knew now, no.

[05.07.2023 15:14:42] YR|Kodachi: Slighlt remorse. At last.

[05.07.2023 15:15:09] YR|Kodachi: I keep saving up fuel as much as possible. It's near the reserve at this point.

[05.07.2023 15:15:12] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I didn't have a lot of marketable skills back then. I'd probably have wound up in a desk job, somewhere.

[05.07.2023 15:15:26] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Living a more normal life might have been nice.

[05.07.2023 15:15:34] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: It's hard to really weigh it up.

[05.07.2023 15:15:44] YR|Kodachi: Desk job administered by Samura, potentially?

[05.07.2023 15:16:09] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Doubt it. Maybe on Six. Freeport Six, I mean.

[05.07.2023 15:16:09] YR|Kodachi: But, ordinary citizens do not care much. Or, are ignorant. 

[05.07.2023 15:16:23] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Or an even smaller concern. I don't know.

[05.07.2023 15:16:45] YR|Kodachi: Freeports are now a skeptical spot after the alleged happenings in Liberty.

[05.07.2023 15:16:57] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: It's all coulda, shoulda, woulda. Like I said, it's not really a sob story. Despite how things... y'know, /are/, it could-

[05.07.2023 15:16:59] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: -be a lot worse.

[05.07.2023 15:17:00] YR|Kodachi: At least the ones bordering houses. Kusari's so far shown great tolerance.

[05.07.2023 15:17:16] YR|Kodachi: The accent. Woah. I do agree anyway.

[05.07.2023 15:17:20] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I'm still alive, still healthy, still /just about/ young.

[05.07.2023 15:17:54] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: And I've done more than just, like, sit around and wait to die. Working ten-hour shifts and going out drinking with the-

[05.07.2023 15:17:58] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: -boss afterwards, you know?

[05.07.2023 15:18:21] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Crash back home at maybe ten in the evening standard time, then collapse into bed waiting for it all to start over-

[05.07.2023 15:18:22] YR|Kodachi: Venturing space is enough to satisfy anyone.

[05.07.2023 15:18:23] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: -again the next morning.

[05.07.2023 15:18:33] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Yeah, right?

[05.07.2023 15:18:35] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: It's a privilege.

[05.07.2023 15:19:07] YR|Kodachi: Credits to an extent limit your freedom, if you abide by the methods used to lure to in more, into the repetition.

[05.07.2023 15:19:11] Death: GN-Hauteclaire suffered a self-administered loadout error (Missile/Torpedo).

[05.07.2023 15:19:16] YR|Kodachi: lure you*

[05.07.2023 15:19:27] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Yeah, well. I think if I could turn the clock back, I'd still try to break out of the 'system', so to speak.

[05.07.2023 15:19:33] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I just wouldn't do it via the Foreign Legion.

[05.07.2023 15:20:16] YR|Kodachi: Well, interesting. Thought you'd choose a more worthwhile cause, but, as you wish.

[05.07.2023 15:20:43] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Well, I wasn't about to get hooked on cardi and sign myself up for the GCs, that's for sure.

[05.07.2023 15:20:53] YR|Kodachi: As you mentioned, enjoying in the ordinary day-to-day activities is also satisfying. 

[05.07.2023 15:21:06] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I wasn't even much of a pilot those days, so without formal training I probably woulda just sucked vacuum sooner or later.

[05.07.2023 15:21:09] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Probably sooner.

[05.07.2023 15:21:19] YR|Kodachi: GCs unfrotunately somewhat deviated from their role. But, their thing.

[05.07.2023 15:21:47] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Maybe the GMG, in hindsight, woulda worked.

[05.07.2023 15:21:59] YR|Kodachi: We've got some of the most competent pilots throughout the colonies. We're versatille.

[05.07.2023 15:22:30] YR|Kodachi: That's how we've endured the centuries under fire, and ambitions for retaliation.

[05.07.2023 15:22:58] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Mmhmm. Lots of disillusioned ex-Forces pilots, if I had to guess, too.

[05.07.2023 15:23:22] YR|Kodachi: They learn.

[05.07.2023 15:23:35] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Well, it definitely helps if you're recruiting from a pool of talent.

[05.07.2023 15:23:55] YR|Kodachi: They're usually easy to recognize.

[05.07.2023 15:24:00] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I've danced with enough Naval Forces, Imperial and Republican both, to know they've always maintained a high bar.

[05.07.2023 15:24:05] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Definitely higher than Bretonia ever did.

[05.07.2023 15:24:30] YR|Kodachi: It's true, although I'd still mock them to an extend. But, dignity over pride.

[05.07.2023 15:25:08] YR|Kodachi: I never taunt, as some, Dragons used to. Fortunately, they've realized their mistakes.

[05.07.2023 15:25:22] YR|Kodachi: False 'Shogunates' has their effects, you know.

[05.07.2023 15:25:29] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: You never get tempted to let a few barbed words out?

[05.07.2023 15:25:59] YR|Kodachi: Of course I do, though, for a reason. Skillset mockery doesn't change one's opinion.

[05.07.2023 15:26:16] YR|Kodachi: The similar way I've talked to you.

[05.07.2023 15:26:21] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I guess not.

[05.07.2023 15:26:34] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Well, aside from bringing up Leeds, you've done well. Seriously, that's a low blow.

[05.07.2023 15:26:47] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: It's not like I don't feel bad about it. Just... more kind of numb, I guess.

[05.07.2023 15:26:52] YR|Kodachi: But I definitely wold have been harsher if I were to see some of your kind very close to our paths, or even worse, Kusari.

[05.07.2023 15:27:25] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: There was a time when we'd have stuck our oars into Kusari just to see what reaction we'd provoke.

[05.07.2023 15:27:29] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Less so these days, though.

[05.07.2023 15:27:35] YR|Kodachi: I know well.

[05.07.2023 15:28:11] YR|Kodachi: Dragons cannot afford such luxury with our limits in mind.

[05.07.2023 15:28:26] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Yeah, I've come to learn that the hard way.

[05.07.2023 15:28:31] YR|Kodachi: Resources are scarce, numbers, fairly insignificant, but can set a huge blow if coordinated right.

[05.07.2023 15:29:03] YR|Kodachi: That's part of life, anyway.

[05.07.2023 15:29:07] YR|Kodachi: Paths differ.

[05.07.2023 15:29:13] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Yeah.

[05.07.2023 15:29:38] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Well, this has been interesting. Genuinely. A lot more so than my usual jaunts, that's for sure.

[05.07.2023 15:29:57] YR|Kodachi: Let some of the words guide you more than they used to.

[05.07.2023 15:30:10] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I can't say I enjoyed the Outcast, and the Maquisard was a little embarrassing, frankly, how I handled him, but...

[05.07.2023 15:30:18] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Yeah.

[05.07.2023 15:30:18] YR|Kodachi: Might have been worth the talk. Otherwise, I should have resumed searching for my prey.

[05.07.2023 15:30:48] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Yeah, sure. Good luck with that. I'm sure if you turn over enough rocks, you'll find a rat hiding under one of them.

[05.07.2023 15:30:59] YR|Kodachi: I have.

[05.07.2023 15:31:32] YR|Kodachi: Saying Sayonara would be peculiar, but, hopefully you abandon your usual ways of 'deeds.' 

[05.07.2023 15:31:46] YR|Kodachi: Naive to say anyway.

[05.07.2023 15:32:02] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: You never know. It's never too late for a career change.

[05.07.2023 15:32:20] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I feel like my CV needs some extensive work, though. Hah!

[05.07.2023 15:32:26] YR|Kodachi: You do not know when death awaits. I'd be more swift with that.

[05.07.2023 15:33:04] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: We'll see, we'll see. It's not all black clouds and hopelessness.

[05.07.2023 15:33:35] YR|Kodachi: Dragons entertain such notions. Otherwise, who knows would we be alive now.

[05.07.2023 15:33:48] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I guess the pessimism helps you watch out for the knives at your throat.

[05.07.2023 15:34:01] YR|Kodachi: Anyway, my fuel is on concerning limits. And, if I encounter anything, it'll be difficult to upkeep. But, I'll adapt.

[05.07.2023 15:34:12] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Yeah, yeah. Don't let me keep you.

[05.07.2023 15:34:12] YR|Kodachi: Yes, if it correct 'dose.'

[05.07.2023 15:34:17] YR|Kodachi: in*

[05.07.2023 15:34:37] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Maybe we'll see one another again, who knows? If you meet any Naval Forces, give them my regards.

[05.07.2023 15:34:50] YR|Kodachi: I'll try. Might be the last they hear though.

[05.07.2023 15:34:58] GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Wouldn't bother me in the slightest.

[05.07.2023 15:35:09] YR|Kodachi: Long live the Blood Dragons.
