Sensei, our convoy of freight was contacted last second by a freelancer before we returned home. He had some interesting things to say that I shall not go into detail myself, the recording should say it all.
[06.06.2024 02:02:23] Toshiaki.Arai: Two ships at once?
[06.06.2024 02:02:36] [TSK]Satou.Akira: ?: Two dragons are better than one.
[06.06.2024 02:02:54] Toshiaki.Arai: After so much time spent attempting to find your agents, I suppose that makes me quite lucky.
[06.06.2024 02:03:30] Toshiaki.Arai: I have been looking for the Dragons, you see. And here you are.
[06.06.2024 02:03:35] [TSK]Aizawa.Shota: Indeed it does, what can we do for you?
[06.06.2024 02:03:57] Toshiaki.Arai: Primarily, I have questions.
[06.06.2024 02:04:05] [TSK]Aizawa.Shota: What kind of questions?
[06.06.2024 02:04:22] Toshiaki.Arai: Questions relating to honor and debts to be paid.
[06.06.2024 02:04:38] Toshiaki.Arai: I wasn't seeking you on my own accord.
[06.06.2024 02:04:46] Toshiaki.Arai: There was another of your kind I had met.
[06.06.2024 02:04:54] [TSK]Aizawa.Shota: We honor the debts we make, however, TSK has not made any.
[06.06.2024 02:05:04] Death: Aegis|Whiskey was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[06.06.2024 02:05:06] Toshiaki.Arai: I don't believe this man was a member of your particular cell.
[06.06.2024 02:05:30] Toshiaki.Arai: But he was a Dragon. We met in prison. There is an item he requested I return to the mythical "Kyoto" for him before his death.
[06.06.2024 02:05:36] [TSK]Aizawa.Shota: We do not see many Dragons besides the ones from our cell.
[06.06.2024 02:05:54] [TSK]Satou.Akira: ?: An item? to Kyoto?
[06.06.2024 02:06:09] Toshiaki.Arai: Indeed. It was of a personal nature to the man.
[06.06.2024 02:06:14] [TSK]Satou.Akira: ?: What is this... "item"?
[06.06.2024 02:06:34] [TSK]Aizawa.Shota: We will ask around for you about this, I must be going sadly. It is late for me.
[06.06.2024 02:06:39] Toshiaki.Arai: I do not know. All I know is that it is in a locker, secured, in a base in Rheinland.
[06.06.2024 02:06:49] Toshiaki.Arai: "Bruchsal" is what he called it.
[06.06.2024 02:07:10] Toshiaki.Arai: I would retrieve it. But without knowing where you make your home, it is a fools errand.
[06.06.2024 02:07:19] [TSK]Satou.Akira: ?: Where is this base? And Who are the owners?
[06.06.2024 02:07:50] Toshiaki.Arai: He had said it was a home of the "Bundschuh". Nothing I had ever heard of before I was jailed.
[06.06.2024 02:08:22] [TSK]Satou.Akira: ?: Interesting.
[06.06.2024 02:08:41] Toshiaki.Arai: I do not know what he was doing there, or why.
[06.06.2024 02:09:10] Toshiaki.Arai: But he and I came to trust eachother behidn bars. All I know is in secure locker #769 on Bruchsal Deck 11, he has an item.
[06.06.2024 02:09:18] [OOC] Toshiaki.Arai: behind u.u
[06.06.2024 02:09:34] [TSK]Satou.Akira: ?: Is this man alive?
[06.06.2024 02:10:08] Toshiaki.Arai: He died two years ago, to Kusari's shame. In custody.
[06.06.2024 02:10:32] Toshiaki.Arai: His name was Miura Kenji. Elderly sort of man.
[06.06.2024 02:10:58] [TSK]Satou.Akira: ?: I see, I hope it was an honorable death.
[06.06.2024 02:11:19] Death: Officer-Dan suffered a self-inflicted catastrophic decompression.
[06.06.2024 02:11:30] Toshiaki.Arai: Honorable? Hardly. I believe he wished to have passed in space, in the warrior way.
[06.06.2024 02:11:45] Toshiaki.Arai: But he was content at the end. Not sure why he made me swear this.
[06.06.2024 02:12:03] [TSK]Satou.Akira: ?: A warrior is to be honorable, to die dishonored, you are not considered a warrior.
[06.06.2024 02:12:15] Blauteufel-3 was slain by [RM]KKS-Kaiserin.Leicht (100%)
[06.06.2024 02:12:16] [TSK]Satou.Akira: ?: And now, he has his last favor, to you?
[06.06.2024 02:12:55] Toshiaki.Arai: I hardly know why, but yes. If he saw something in me, I do not know what it was.
[06.06.2024 02:13:19] Toshiaki.Arai: That is why I need to find Kyoto. The old man at least deserved a last wish.
[06.06.2024 02:13:29] Toshiaki.Arai: The state certainly did not provide.
[06.06.2024 02:13:57] Toshiaki.Arai: Not that I expect you to trust me. But I had to make my case to someone off of the Neural Net.
[06.06.2024 02:14:01] Death: [RM]KKS-Kaiserin.Leicht suffered a self-inflicted catastrophic decompression.
[06.06.2024 02:14:05] [TSK]Satou.Akira: ?: Find, you will never find Kyoto. However, you are talking to a Dragon of Kyoto.
[06.06.2024 02:14:25] Toshiaki.Arai: That was my hope.
[06.06.2024 02:15:18] [TSK]Satou.Akira: ?: I am only a transport captain, but higher ups will hear what you have to say, if you deem it worthy of their ears.
[06.06.2024 02:15:55] Toshiaki.Arai: If they offer me a chance to prove that I am sincere, that is what I came prepared for.
[06.06.2024 02:16:05] /?: now where is this base? you have said it was of bundschuh ownership and the base was named "burchsal."
[06.06.2024 02:16:19] Toshiaki.Arai: I see no point in journeying to Rheinland if I cannot deliver what I promised, here.
[06.06.2024 02:16:38] [TSK]Satou.Akira: ?: Perhaps you can meet them and they can talk, before trust is to be earned.
[06.06.2024 02:17:11] Toshiaki.Arai: Excellent. What do I need to do?
[06.06.2024 02:18:03] [TSK]Satou.Akira: ?: You would best reach out on the neural net, I will let them know that they will be reached out too, and why.
[06.06.2024 02:18:28] [TSK]Satou.Akira: ?: A way to earn our trust however, is not through the net, but in person.
[06.06.2024 02:18:57] [TSK]Satou.Akira: ?: You will find your self in good hands, and if what you say is true, your debt will be honored.
[06.06.2024 02:19:07] Toshiaki.Arai: I'd prefer it that way myself. This Net architecture... very different from when I was last a free man.
[06.06.2024 02:19:19] Toshiaki.Arai: But if you believe it secure, I will reach out with a message.
[06.06.2024 02:19:39] Toshiaki.Arai: I'll need to make sure my encryption is air-tight... you seem to make quite the mouthy enemies.
[06.06.2024 02:20:02] [TSK]Satou.Akira: ?: We are hardly ones to talk, Hogosha, and Naval here, are the problem.
[06.06.2024 02:20:34] [TSK]Satou.Akira: ?: We are silenced, the people believe that we are criminals.
[06.06.2024 02:20:56] Toshiaki.Arai: Believe me, Satou-sama, I'm all too familiar with the Hogosha's worse side.
[06.06.2024 02:21:01] 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.
[06.06.2024 02:21:21] Death: GMS-Samson suffered a self-inflicted catastrophic decompression.
[06.06.2024 02:21:30] Toshiaki.Arai: Their "purity" is an illusion I've long left behind.
[06.06.2024 02:22:02] [TSK]Satou.Akira: ?: You are better off where you are now, thats for certain.
[06.06.2024 02:22:32] [TSK]Satou.Akira: ?: Now is there anything else that I need to know?
[06.06.2024 02:23:15] Toshiaki.Arai: Only that if the Dragons require a Freelancer for any purpose, they may consider me willing depending on the task.
[06.06.2024 02:23:34] Toshiaki.Arai: But, I'm sure that is something I can make clear once I speak with the leadership.
[06.06.2024 02:23:34] [TSK]Satou.Akira: ?: Hmm, a mercenary are you?
[06.06.2024 02:24:06] Toshiaki.Arai: It's the role that's found me.
[06.06.2024 02:24:57] [TSK]Satou.Akira: ?: You may have potential, if you have the skill to survive the harsh environment of Kusari space.
[06.06.2024 02:25:12] [TSK]Satou.Akira: ?: But that is not for me to decide, I only command this here trading vessel.
[06.06.2024 02:26:02] Toshiaki.Arai: I've held my own against the Alliance and their raiders so far. Not as sharp as I once was, but I still hold a small edge.
[06.06.2024 02:26:42] Toshiaki.Arai: And I believe I can handle far worse than them.
[06.06.2024 02:27:09] Toshiaki.Arai: I also race. But that may be neither here nor there.
[06.06.2024 02:27:21] [TSK]Satou.Akira: ?: Perhaps you should include your services in your communication as well as your 'item' from the base.
[06.06.2024 02:27:39] Toshiaki.Arai: I will be thorough.
[06.06.2024 02:27:51] Toshiaki.Arai: You have my gratitude, Satou-sama. I should not hold you any longer.
[06.06.2024 02:27:54] [TSK]Satou.Akira: ?: Excellent, I am sure they will like to know more once you meet in person.
[06.06.2024 02:28:07] [TSK]Satou.Akira: ?: Very well, safe travels. I hope they are willing to listen to you.
[06.06.2024 02:28:23] Toshiaki.Arai: It would make things easier. We will see.
