Konbanwa Headmaster, there was interesting information gathered that I believe should be shared. I was on patrol with a battlegroup looking for any Naval Forces activity in the New Tokyo system. None was found, however, we did fly past a Kishiro transport in the same area and gave chase. We followed it as far into Honshu at the Samura owned facility know as "Osaka Storage Facility" before it went off our sensors.
Aboard the cruiser "Saya," I continued the chase alone while another cruiser "Sendai" along with a Battleship named "Akaryuu" held back and blockaded the lanes. Amazingly however, we didn't lose it, the transport had docked on the station and was undocked when I had returned, thinking they have gotten away. They weren't willing to give funds to our cause, but we did manage to obtain some interesting information. The captain of this transport had told us that they were supplying a base controlled by Naval Forces somewhere in New Tokyo. Sadly we didn't get its location, but suspicious activity like this suggests that a new project is being developed. We'd be wise to remain cautious.
[19.05.2024 21:21:12] [TSK]BD-Sendai: CO:That is some nice cargo you have.
[19.05.2024 21:21:35] [TSK]BD-Saya: CO: Konnichiwa, I see you have caught him.
[19.05.2024 21:22:08] [TSK]BD-Sendai: CO:Tell you what, it is dishonorable to fight a civ, so how about you toss all of us 100k per person and we will let you go
[19.05.2024 21:22:15] Kishiro|Mamiya-Maru: Oyama: I certainly agree with that. But, I'm afraid unless you have other affairs to get to, my entrusted radio operator, Mr.-
[19.05.2024 21:22:21] A bounty of $720 credits has been deposited into your account.
[19.05.2024 21:22:23] Kishiro|Mamiya-Maru: -Tetsuya will take over comms.
[19.05.2024 21:22:47] Akaryuu: Kaneko: I do not see what we have to gain from this act of extortion. Even if it is against a keiretsu interest.
[19.05.2024 21:23:08] [TSK]BD-Saya: CO: Gain? Oh you are mistaken, its what you get to keep, and that is your life.
[19.05.2024 21:23:20] [TSK]BD-Sendai: CO:We need funds to support out fight.
[19.05.2024 21:23:29] Akaryuu: Kaneko: The Red Dragon will not demand such sums.
[19.05.2024 21:24:10] Kishiro|Mamiya-Maru: Tetsuya: Goodness, what a situation. Is this thing o- Ah! Konbanwa! Uh... [He stops, thinking for a moment.]
[19.05.2024 21:24:24] [TSK]BD-Sendai: CO:You have a good point, we never have demanded it before.
[19.05.2024 21:24:31] Kishiro|Mamiya-Maru: Tetsuya: Dragon captain, may I know your name?
[19.05.2024 21:25:24] Death: Darknight.Sparrow suffered a self-inflicted catastrophic decompression.
[19.05.2024 21:25:46] Akaryuu: Akiro
[19.05.2024 21:26:16] [TSK]BD-Sendai: CO:I am called Akiro, Red Dragon has a point, we were never that kind of scum.
[19.05.2024 21:26:22] [TSK]BD-Sendai: CO:We shouldnt start now.
[19.05.2024 21:26:37] [TSK]BD-Saya: CO: Then what do we do with him?
[19.05.2024 21:27:16] [TSK]BD-Sendai: CO:That is a good question, he supports the very corporation we wish to get rid of.
[19.05.2024 21:27:37] Kishiro|Mamiya-Maru: Oyama: It is a pleasure to meet you, sir. Perhaps, even an honor, as we seem to be near this installation of Samura.
[19.05.2024 21:28:18] Kishiro|Mamiya-Maru: Oyama: But, it seems you know not the ways of diplomacy. It is a good thing that I am the representative of the-
[19.05.2024 21:28:22] [TSK]BD-Saya: CO: Samura is another corp that needs bringing down, to free the people of Kusari from corruption.
[19.05.2024 21:28:26] Kishiro|Mamiya-Maru: -Mamiya-Maru in this situation.
[19.05.2024 21:28:50] Akaryuu: Kaneko: I recommend asking for information instead.
[19.05.2024 21:29:11] Kishiro|Mamiya-Maru: Oyama: Do you know what we say to brigands like you in such situations, so close to bases of Kusari?
[19.05.2024 21:29:17] [TSK]BD-Sendai: CO:Kind of funny that you talk about diplomacy when your group poisons our people.
[19.05.2024 21:30:00] Tip: You were a new player once. If you see someone making obvious mistakes, talk to them and help them.
[19.05.2024 21:31:01] Akaryuu: Kaneko: We are no brigands, Tetsuya-sama.
[19.05.2024 21:31:22] Akaryuu: Kaneko: You would be wise to listen.
[19.05.2024 21:31:34] Kishiro|Mamiya-Maru: Tetsuya: It appears that your friends here are, however.
[19.05.2024 21:31:40] Akaryuu: Kaneko: Now tell me, where are you taking these items?
[19.05.2024 21:32:41] Kishiro|Mamiya-Maru: Tetsuya: These fine items go to New Tokyo, to a base we have been contracted to supply.
[19.05.2024 21:32:59] Kishiro|Mamiya-Maru: Tetsuya: It is no secret information, for we have been operating around the hour in this sector.
[19.05.2024 21:33:08] Akaryuu: Kaneko: Is it a Samura base, like this one?
[19.05.2024 21:33:57] Kishiro|Mamiya-Maru: [Tetsuya freezed at the thought he'd permit a Kishiro ship, let alone his, to supply a Samura base. He wouldn't entertain the-
[19.05.2024 21:34:05] Kishiro|Mamiya-Maru: -question, not here, not now, perhaps never.]
[19.05.2024 21:34:45] Kishiro|Mamiya-Maru: [The expression on his faced proved just as much, anyways -- and so he sat back in his chair, listening for the next-
[19.05.2024 21:34:56] Kishiro|Mamiya-Maru: -bit of the impromptu interrogation.]
[19.05.2024 21:35:13] Akaryuu: Kaneko: Just answer the question.
[19.05.2024 21:35:33] Akaryuu: Kaneko: Yes or no?
[19.05.2024 21:35:38] Kishiro|Mamiya-Maru: [There appeared, still, no way out. He relented.]
[19.05.2024 21:35:49] Kishiro|Mamiya-Maru: Tetsuya: No. It is not a Samura base.
[19.05.2024 21:36:25] Akaryuu: Kaneko: Excellent. And what is the name of this distinguished facility, that we may avoid it in the future?
[19.05.2024 21:37:09] Kishiro|Mamiya-Maru: Tetsuya: Honorable Dragon, if you will so allow me say, such questions have little place in the present environment.
[19.05.2024 21:37:30] Kishiro|Mamiya-Maru: Tetsuya: If you live up to the reputation of the group you represent, to your ancestors, then you would know the installations-
[19.05.2024 21:37:44] Kishiro|Mamiya-Maru: -in New Tokyo like the back of your palm, if not better.
[19.05.2024 21:38:03] Akaryuu: Kaneko: Certainly. But there is no harm in asking, just to be sure.
[19.05.2024 21:38:26] Kishiro|Mamiya-Maru: Tetsuya: There is but one station of the Naval Forces heading to New Tokyo itself, down the lanes. I am certain you won't miss-
[19.05.2024 21:38:31] Kishiro|Mamiya-Maru: -it, nor will your friends.
[19.05.2024 21:38:45] Kishiro|Mamiya-Maru: Tetsuya: Have you other... dilemmas?
[19.05.2024 21:38:58] [TSK]BD-Sendai: CO:We will look past your insults and let you go for now. We have more important things to do.
[19.05.2024 21:39:03] Death: Jacob.Forsythe suffered a self-inflicted catastrophic decompression.
[19.05.2024 21:39:21] Akaryuu: Kaneko: Very well. I suppose you would not know why the Naval Forces are requisitioning such equipment at this time?
[19.05.2024 21:39:26] Kishiro|Mamiya-Maru: Tetsuya: I mean no insult. We Kusari people respect others, even if hostile, as we respect our own.
[19.05.2024 21:39:27] A bounty of $1.440 credits has been deposited into your account.
[19.05.2024 21:40:16] Kishiro|Mamiya-Maru: Testuya: To be Kusari is to be honorable. Ah... as for the "why"... simple refurbishing as far as I understand.
[19.05.2024 21:40:35] Kishiro|Mamiya-Maru: Tetsuya: But, of course, I merely speak on behalf of the Mamiya Maru. I hope you understand that much.
[19.05.2024 21:41:02] Akaryuu: Kaneko: I suppose such projects would be hidden from the public, even if we have our suspicions.
[19.05.2024 21:41:14] Kishiro|Mamiya-Maru: Tetsuya: We are no shipbuilders nor the constructors of grand stations, we are mere contractors.
[19.05.2024 21:41:28] Kishiro|Mamiya-Maru: Tetsuya: Now, if you may so allow us, we have to make way.
[19.05.2024 21:41:31] A bounty of $720 credits has been deposited into your account.
[19.05.2024 21:41:46] Akaryuu: Kaneko: Very well. You have satisfied my curiousity.
[19.05.2024 21:41:53] Akaryuu: Kaneko: Until we meet again.
[19.05.2024 21:42:08] [TSK]BD-Saya: CO: Forming on "Akaryuu".
