I've taken the liberty of pursuing a familiarization flight through Kusari, though I have done so with assistance from a pair of gallic pilots, Namely Lucie and Gabrielle Dubois. Their IFF response was Union Corse, but to our understanding they weren't exactly tightly affiliated.
We had made some chatter, and discussed the cause, engaged in idle chat.. And I have posited recruiting them to the cause. They seem to have promise and could be of use in the Kotetsu Division. They are.. quite unaware of Sirian affairs and the sort. So familiarization may be needed.
[16.07.2025 22:50:59] Gabrielle.Dubois: [Yawns] Hey Lucie. Another sleepy night. How are you doing after the journy from the Omegas?
[16.07.2025 22:51:37] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: K: Java, this is ODS Mendicant Didact, to moor for refuel.
[16.07.2025 22:51:38] Lucie.Dubois: Kind of beaten. My eyes are burning, gosh. [She yawns quietly.] Pardon..
[16.07.2025 22:52:12] Gabrielle.Dubois: I think I still feel sleepy. Oh. Another ship.
[16.07.2025 22:52:34] Gabrielle.Dubois: And a very pretty one too! I havn't seen anything like that in Gallia.
[16.07.2025 22:52:51] Lucie.Dubois: Hey.. you wanted to watch that much holo-tv in the night...
[16.07.2025 22:53:00] Gabrielle.Dubois: Mnngg, I regret it.
[16.07.2025 22:53:11] Lucie.Dubois: Oh. That is a large ship.
[16.07.2025 22:53:48] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: K: And.. connected. Didact is recieving.
[16.07.2025 22:53:58] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: K: Greetings Union Corse pilots.
[16.07.2025 22:54:22] Lucie.Dubois: Oh uh.. Hi. Uhm. Person.
[16.07.2025 22:54:48] Gabrielle.Dubois: Good day!
[16.07.2025 22:55:00] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: K: I suppose introductions are in order.. I am Major Setsuna Kobayashi, Battlegroup Ouroboros.
[16.07.2025 22:55:06] Gabrielle.Dubois: May I ask a question, what is such a lovely ship doing in this asteroid system?
[16.07.2025 22:55:23] Gabrielle.Dubois: Ah, good to meet you, Major. Your ship does not look like a warship?
[16.07.2025 22:55:27] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: K: I am the commanding officer of both this ship and the head of the Mizurashi Diplomatic Section that operates it.
[16.07.2025 22:56:03] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: K: We were departing from a hold in Tau-44 for some time.
[16.07.2025 22:56:27] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: K: My command is not tasked with combat - we, well as the name goes - are diplomats for the cause.
[16.07.2025 22:56:56] Lucie.Dubois: I remember our diplomats. They.. shot first and asked questions.. uhm. Never? I think that's how it went.
[16.07.2025 22:56:57] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Soft power, keeping up relations.. occasionally cooperating on campaigns with combat units but more in oversight.
[16.07.2025 22:57:06] Gabrielle.Dubois: Seems suitable to me. It's impressive to see you. What do you represent? Please excuse us, we are new from Gallia.
[16.07.2025 22:57:09] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Very poor diplomats.
[16.07.2025 22:57:56] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Ouroboros is a revolutionary movement that was established originally in 825 AS. Our leader had fled Kusari years ago and after
[16.07.2025 22:58:09] Gabrielle.Dubois: Yes, well... one of the many reasons we are not in Gallia anymore, as my sister said.
[16.07.2025 22:58:25] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: time in Zoner society, saught to reclaim the house as a social democracy.
[16.07.2025 22:58:53] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Though over time and through.. some very difficult times - we have evolved to be a populist 'big tent' progressive movement.
[16.07.2025 22:59:02] Gabrielle.Dubois: I heard Kusari is an evil empire who wants to invade people... seems tough to try to form a democracy in such a place.
[16.07.2025 22:59:33] Lucie.Dubois: Oh yes, I heard about the invasion into.. the Taus? Gallia pushed htem out, I think.
[16.07.2025 22:59:37] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Kusari.. is a lovely place, host to millenia of culture.. but it is plagued by many things..
[16.07.2025 23:00:05] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: An oligopolic government, puppeteered by the Keiretsu.
[16.07.2025 23:00:20] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Misogynist mistreatment and rampant xenophobia.
[16.07.2025 23:00:53] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Aggressive collectivist thought that disregards the individual, that has only gotten worse as time goes on.
[16.07.2025 23:01:05] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: As opposed to the toxic individualism you see in Liberty..
[16.07.2025 23:01:12] Lucie.Dubois: I.. don't really know much about politics.
[16.07.2025 23:01:26] Gabrielle.Dubois: Same here... But this does not sound healthy.
[16.07.2025 23:01:28] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: You don't need to. All you need to know is we fight for the people.
[16.07.2025 23:01:32] Gabrielle.Dubois: Why do they hate girls?
[16.07.2025 23:01:57] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: It is a cultural issue that manifested from the Sakura coup that happened centuries ago.
[16.07.2025 23:02:31] Lucie.Dubois: But how could they ever hate girls. We are lovely.
[16.07.2025 23:03:26] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Mm.. The issue stems from old chauvinism that's plagued mankind for millenia.
[16.07.2025 23:03:43] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Males as the protector, females as the breeder, carer.. hidoi..
[16.07.2025 23:03:52] Gabrielle.Dubois: I think... I understand.
[16.07.2025 23:03:59] Gabrielle.Dubois: You remember what happened to us, sister?
[16.07.2025 23:04:06] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: I used to be a Chrysanthemum so.. the matter hits home to me in particular.
[16.07.2025 23:04:14] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: But... these days the Chrysanthemums are lost.
[16.07.2025 23:04:36] Lucie.Dubois: Mhm.. I do. How could I ever.. forget that nightmare.
[16.07.2025 23:05:13] Gabrielle.Dubois: I don't pretend to know many of these groups, but yours seems nice. What are you doing to help?
[16.07.2025 23:05:59] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: At the moment, we're trying to rebuild our numbers, though talks are going on at the moment with regional powers to establish
[16.07.2025 23:06:04] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: supply and support networks.
[16.07.2025 23:08:01] Lucie.Dubois: Mhm. We don't know much about sirius yet. We never really left Gallia until recently.
[16.07.2025 23:08:16] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: If I may ask, why did you leave Gallia? Seems as if it was under duress.
[16.07.2025 23:08:38] Gabrielle.Dubois: Ah, you could say as much. We don't want to go back.
[16.07.2025 23:09:16] Lucie.Dubois: Ehm.. Let's just say that... bad things happened. And we had to get out.
[16.07.2025 23:10:00] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: I see.. Well, I must forwarn you that Sirius is no stranger to hostile faces.
[16.07.2025 23:10:32] Gabrielle.Dubois: Well, we are in a more powerful place now. We have fighters, and guns. Not like before.
[16.07.2025 23:10:37] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: You would be wise to strike your Union Corse IFFs and register as Freelancers with the IMG. They usually hand out those IFF
[16.07.2025 23:10:41] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: codes like candy.
[16.07.2025 23:10:59] Lucie.Dubois: I wonder. Your group does seem rather nice. We are in need of uhm, credits.
[16.07.2025 23:11:25] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: You shouldn't even need to be on an active contract.. regardless. Most houses will not want to do business with Gallic
[16.07.2025 23:11:25] Gabrielle.Dubois: I would not be opposed to helping other girls like us.
[16.07.2025 23:11:31] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: unlawfuls.
[16.07.2025 23:11:56] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Quite the opposite, they likely would want to see you out of their space.
[16.07.2025 23:12:00] Lucie.Dubois: H-Huh. The Unione Corse is considered legal in Gallia.
[16.07.2025 23:12:43] Gabrielle.Dubois: More like your Freelancers, yes, though perhaps more organized.
[16.07.2025 23:13:04] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: I see. That being said.. I do have personal funds I can give you if you are scraping at the barrel.
[16.07.2025 23:13:28] Lucie.Dubois: I mean. I am not opposed to.. funds but. I rather work for it. Sis?
[16.07.2025 23:13:43] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Consider it a small gift.
[16.07.2025 23:13:46] Gabrielle.Dubois: Mnn, I do not want personal funds, non. Please, I will return this.
[16.07.2025 23:13:59] Gabrielle.Dubois: I would much rather work for it, yes.
[16.07.2025 23:14:03] Gabrielle.Dubois: And serve something better.
[16.07.2025 23:14:12] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Sadly I've not much work for you.
[16.07.2025 23:14:54] Ebethron: RO: I see nothing moved around in my absence.
[16.07.2025 23:15:01] Gabrielle.Dubois: Ah. So what is your orginization doing then?
[16.07.2025 23:15:15] Gabrielle.Dubois: Oh, another liner.
[16.07.2025 23:15:19] Gabrielle.Dubois: Good day.
[16.07.2025 23:15:23] Lucie.Dubois: Bonjour!
[16.07.2025 23:15:30] Ebethron: RO: Minarchists.
[16.07.2025 23:15:41] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Mizurashi tends to be on standby. We don't see much of it.
[16.07.2025 23:15:46] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Action, that is.
[16.07.2025 23:15:59] Gabrielle.Dubois: We are not Monarchists!
[16.07.2025 23:16:07] Ebethron: RO: I know.
[16.07.2025 23:16:09] Lucie.Dubois: Eww. I take offense.
[16.07.2025 23:16:14] Ebethron: RO: Hence why I didn't say that.
[16.07.2025 23:16:29] Gabrielle.Dubois: Then what did you say?
[16.07.2025 23:16:29] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: If you think we are minarchists, you are sadly mistaken.
[16.07.2025 23:16:48] Ebethron: RO: I'm talking to the Corsican.
[16.07.2025 23:16:58] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Corsican..?
[16.07.2025 23:16:59] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: What?
[16.07.2025 23:17:19] Ebethron: RO: Don't know who or what you are, I've never seen Zoner guerrilla in a luxury yatch before.
[16.07.2025 23:17:28] Ebethron: RO: Yeah, the Corse folk.
[16.07.2025 23:17:45] Gabrielle.Dubois: Well please excuse us if we do not understand. The words are confusing.
[16.07.2025 23:17:50] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Here.. we go again.. I swear, I am going to demand Hanamura-sensei do *something* about these IFF codes...
[16.07.2025 23:18:14] Lucie.Dubois: Uh. I do not know much about politics. And those words sound very political.
[16.07.2025 23:18:15] Ebethron: RO: It's fine mate, I've lost the meaning half the time when talking to gauls myself as well.
[16.07.2025 23:18:57] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Yes
[16.07.2025 23:19:23] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: There.. on a secure line.
[16.07.2025 23:19:25] Gabrielle.Dubois: You requested a comms invite, Major?
[16.07.2025 23:19:42] Ebethron: RO: Alright, time to pick a path.
[16.07.2025 23:19:46] Lucie.Dubois: Now I have to behave!
[16.07.2025 23:19:47] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: The one issue we have had for the longest time is that people keep mistaking us for Zoners because of a fleet-wide IFF issue.
[16.07.2025 23:20:05] Gabrielle.Dubois: Well, there seems to be many paths ahead.
[16.07.2025 23:20:11] Gabrielle.Dubois: Many directions to go.
[16.07.2025 23:20:13] Lucie.Dubois: They seem.. rocky.
[16.07.2025 23:20:15] Ebethron: RO: Ronnie, you got a coin, a chip, one of those fancy medals from the war, something that can flip?
[16.07.2025 23:20:47] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: I suppose a familiarization flight for us through Kusari is overdue.. and given we're not exactly welcome in Kusari.. I suppose
[16.07.2025 23:20:50] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: you have your job.
[16.07.2025 23:20:55] Ebethron: RO: Oh yeah, give me the GRN medal, that'd be a fun one.
[16.07.2025 23:21:12] Ebethron: RO: Folks, tails or heads?
[16.07.2025 23:21:16] Gabrielle.Dubois: We have no medals to give, I'm afraid. Are there any coins in your ship, sister?
[16.07.2025 23:21:24] Gabrielle.Dubois: I suppose we could go on a flight, yes.
[16.07.2025 23:21:29] Gabrielle.Dubois: At least to look around.
[16.07.2025 23:21:32] Ebethron: RO: I don't need yours, got something already.
[16.07.2025 23:21:33] Gabrielle.Dubois: What do you think, sis?
[16.07.2025 23:21:35] Lucie.Dubois: Tails.
[16.07.2025 23:21:40] Lucie.Dubois: Sure!
[16.07.2025 23:21:42] Gabrielle.Dubois: Tails it is then!
[16.07.2025 23:21:47] Ebethron tossed tails
[16.07.2025 23:21:56] Gabrielle.Dubois: Seems to be our lucky day.
[16.07.2025 23:22:08] Lucie.Dubois: It is simply our charm that made the coin land on tails.
[16.07.2025 23:22:22] Gabrielle.Dubois: Well, good luck. I hope the journy treats you well, strange one.
[16.07.2025 23:22:33] Death: Berry.Dingle was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[16.07.2025 23:22:45] Lucie.Dubois: Bonjour!
[16.07.2025 23:22:45] Gabrielle.Dubois: Hello hello!
[16.07.2025 23:23:29] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Good to see you both made it. We'll enter cruise as soon as the formation is here.
[16.07.2025 23:24:06] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: K: Helm, Commence familiarization flight.
[16.07.2025 23:24:37] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: H: Yes ma'am, route is plotted, helm manuvering, aye.
[16.07.2025 23:25:00] Lucie.Dubois: I've red through the neural net. Seems like Kusari is the only house we are not welcome.
[16.07.2025 23:25:20] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: K: You know, she wants us to establish a base out here.. this area may be best.
[16.07.2025 23:25:38] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: FCO: It's better than Galileo.
[16.07.2025 23:25:47] Gabrielle.Dubois: Youv'e done more reading than me, sis.
[16.07.2025 23:25:57] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: K: And yes, that makes three of us.
[16.07.2025 23:25:59] Gabrielle.Dubois: Do you know why we are not welcome? I remember there was a war, is it about that?
[16.07.2025 23:25:59] Lucie.Dubois: Of course! I need to protect us.
[16.07.2025 23:26:07] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Careful, gas pockts here.
[16.07.2025 23:26:14] Gabrielle.Dubois: ACK! That is not protecting!
[16.07.2025 23:26:34] Lucie.Dubois: Hey, I am trying!
[16.07.2025 23:26:43] Lucie.Dubois: This thing isn't exactly fast...
[16.07.2025 23:26:55] Gabrielle.Dubois: You had to pick the heavy one!
[16.07.2025 23:26:57] Gabrielle.Dubois: Heh
[16.07.2025 23:27:15] Lucie.Dubois: I thought the smaller one fits to you more. It's just as cute.
[16.07.2025 23:27:54] Gabrielle.Dubois: Yes but the big one has more room.
[16.07.2025 23:28:02] Lucie.Dubois: That's why I took it and not you~
[16.07.2025 23:28:18] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Cutting here.
[16.07.2025 23:28:20] Gabrielle.Dubois: W-wait, what's that supposed to mean?
[16.07.2025 23:28:23] Gabrielle.Dubois: Okay!
[16.07.2025 23:28:27] Gabrielle.Dubois: We are on our way.
[16.07.2025 23:28:31] [OOC] Gabrielle.Dubois: NP.
[16.07.2025 23:28:47] Lucie.Dubois: So I can be the protector and protect you when you come over.
[16.07.2025 23:29:21] Gabrielle.Dubois: Heh. Okay, that sounds more cozy~
[16.07.2025 23:30:12] Gabrielle.Dubois: I can see this system looks very pretty.
[16.07.2025 23:30:26] Lucie.Dubois: It is! It has two stars.
[16.07.2025 23:30:57] Gabrielle.Dubois: A lot less cloudy than the one we come from.
[16.07.2025 23:31:02] Gabrielle.Dubois: And look at that pretty planet.
[16.07.2025 23:31:15] Gabrielle.Dubois: It's the same color as our ship lights and engines!
[16.07.2025 23:31:34] Lucie.Dubois: Oh, it is!
[16.07.2025 23:31:54] Gabrielle.Dubois: I would like to fly to it.
[16.07.2025 23:31:58] Gabrielle.Dubois: Fly through the rings.
[16.07.2025 23:32:28] Princesse.Perdition: Eh?
[16.07.2025 23:32:37] Princesse.Perdition: What is this?
[16.07.2025 23:32:40] Gabrielle.Dubois: Hmm, look at that
[16.07.2025 23:32:54] Gabrielle.Dubois: Salute, Princesse!
[16.07.2025 23:33:06] Princesse.Perdition: Oh, Corse. Bienvenue!
[16.07.2025 23:33:12] Gabrielle.Dubois: Seems like another from our home is here as well?
[16.07.2025 23:33:18] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Brigand Vessel, this is the Ouroboros Diplomatic Ship Mendicant Didact. State intentions?
[16.07.2025 23:33:32] Princesse.Perdition: Oui. Though I gather I shouldn't interfere.
[16.07.2025 23:33:52] Princesse.Perdition: My intentions are to cause trouble and make money. Though not at the expense of relations...
[16.07.2025 23:34:03] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: We are on a familiarization flight through Kusari, these Corsicans have been hired to provide escort.
[16.07.2025 23:34:16] Lucie.Dubois: I heard that the kusarian's are bad. So, if you do it to them I doubt I would care.
[16.07.2025 23:34:25] Gabrielle.Dubois: Well, it seems like the right place to do it. We just got done talking about how... poorly Kusari is treating its people.
[16.07.2025 23:34:32] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Good company, I must admit.
[16.07.2025 23:34:43] Princesse.Perdition: Yes, Corse makes for good company.
[16.07.2025 23:34:53] Princesse.Perdition: In my experience that is.
[16.07.2025 23:34:57] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Indeed.
[16.07.2025 23:35:18] Gabrielle.Dubois: We know how to throw some pretty good parties at the very least!
[16.07.2025 23:35:29] Gabrielle.Dubois: And as for flying, well, I feel like I've gottne the hang of it.
[16.07.2025 23:35:43] Princesse.Perdition: Certainly! The Argenton is a favorite hangout of mine.
[16.07.2025 23:36:00] Princesse.Perdition: I suppose I should leave you to your journey.
[16.07.2025 23:36:03] Gabrielle.Dubois: Sadly, I do not think we will be going back to Gallia any time soon.
[16.07.2025 23:36:29] Princesse.Perdition: Why's that? If you don't mind my asking.
[16.07.2025 23:36:48] Gabrielle.Dubois: Ah, sister, what should we say?
[16.07.2025 23:36:58] Gabrielle.Dubois: I am not sure if I trust this one.
[16.07.2025 23:37:23] Lucie.Dubois: Well. We have been in Gallia for long enough. We sought to spread wings to Sirius.
[16.07.2025 23:37:26] Lucie.Dubois: And it's gone.
[16.07.2025 23:37:37] Gabrielle.Dubois: Oui! Well... perhaps for the best.
[16.07.2025 23:37:39] Lucie.Dubois: Why.
[16.07.2025 23:37:46] Lucie.Dubois: Do they ASK AND THEN FLY OFF?!
[16.07.2025 23:37:58] Lucie.Dubois: AAAAAAAAARRRRRRHHHHHHHH!
[16.07.2025 23:37:59] Gabrielle.Dubois: I think they got impatient. Heh.
[16.07.2025 23:38:08] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Can't be helped.
[16.07.2025 23:38:10] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Oh?
[16.07.2025 23:38:14] Princesse.Perdition: Oh no, I'm still here.
[16.07.2025 23:38:15] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: There they are again.
[16.07.2025 23:38:17] Gabrielle.Dubois: They are back!
[16.07.2025 23:38:28] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Sensor coverage is difficult here it seems.
[16.07.2025 23:38:31] Gabrielle.Dubois: And they are gone.
[16.07.2025 23:38:37] Lucie.Dubois: Heh.
[16.07.2025 23:38:48] Lucie.Dubois: Magic.
[16.07.2025 23:38:54] Princesse.Perdition: It's the dust, plays havoc with your scanners.
[16.07.2025 23:39:03] Gabrielle.Dubois: Well, now we know.
[16.07.2025 23:39:10] Gabrielle.Dubois: The wonders of Sirius dust.
[16.07.2025 23:39:13] Gabrielle.Dubois: Kusari dust.
[16.07.2025 23:39:24] Lucie.Dubois: Does that mean it's imperial dust..?
[16.07.2025 23:39:37] Gabrielle.Dubois: Maybe? At least until the empire is overthrown.
[16.07.2025 23:39:58] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Hardly. Kusari hasn't been imperial for years. But it doesn't mean that it has gotten any better.
[16.07.2025 23:39:58] Princesse.Perdition: I didn't know Corse was interested in regime change...
[16.07.2025 23:40:18] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: To our 2 o'clock, if you see the planet in the distance.
[16.07.2025 23:40:22] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Kyushu.
[16.07.2025 23:40:24] Lucie.Dubois: We need to get our transponders changed. I am running out of excuses.
[16.07.2025 23:40:48] Gabrielle.Dubois: I suppose we should change them, yes. Though not like we readily associate with the rest.
[16.07.2025 23:40:48] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: My family came from there. Humble farmers.
[16.07.2025 23:40:53] Lucie.Dubois: We are interested in many.. things. Usually, uhm, legal things. Yes.
[16.07.2025 23:41:24] Gabrielle.Dubois: I see. That blue ball over there.
[16.07.2025 23:41:34] Gabrielle.Dubois: It looks... very blue for farms. Ocean farming?
[16.07.2025 23:41:55] Princesse.Perdition: Ooo, one day I hope to have a yacht like that. I'd throw parties even the Corse would be impressed by.
[16.07.2025 23:42:14] Lucie.Dubois: Pfff. My parties are the best anyway.
[16.07.2025 23:42:45] Gabrielle.Dubois: Well, if you would like to join us, maybe we could all collaberate here with the one already present.
[16.07.2025 23:43:35] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: The situation on Kyushu is dire - farmers barely getting by as Synth Foods comes in from Liberty to co-opt any land that has
[16.07.2025 23:43:57] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: been lost as a result of the farms being torn apart by recent typhoons.
[16.07.2025 23:44:28] Gabrielle.Dubois: Ah. Storms... I don't like storms.
[16.07.2025 23:44:53] Gabrielle.Dubois: I hope they can recover.
[16.07.2025 23:45:08] Princesse.Perdition: Anything like the hurricanes on Marne? Those become storms of trash when they go on long enough.
[16.07.2025 23:45:13] Gabrielle.Dubois: What is a Liberty corperation doing here anyway?
[16.07.2025 23:45:19] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Corporate exploitation has affected Kyushu for years. Foreigners.. or the Keiretsu.
[16.07.2025 23:45:21] Gabrielle.Dubois: Oui, I have heard of those, Princesse.
[16.07.2025 23:45:46] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: We've.. no problems with the gaijin.. many are in our ranks, but.. companies like Synth have nothing but their own malicious
[16.07.2025 23:45:54] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: greed to bring to Kusari.
[16.07.2025 23:46:30] Princesse.Perdition: *yawn* Well... the trade lanes bring little but empty holds here. I'd best be on my way.
[16.07.2025 23:46:34] Princesse.Perdition: Au revoir!
[16.07.2025 23:46:39] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Take care, Brigand.
[16.07.2025 23:46:47] Gabrielle.Dubois: Goodbye, Princess! I hope to see you again!
[16.07.2025 23:46:55] Princesse.Perdition: You as well, Corse!
[16.07.2025 23:47:22] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: We may want to seek shelter somewhere for the moment. Come - If memory serves there is a Freelancer-run facility in Shikoku.
[16.07.2025 23:47:25] Gabrielle.Dubois: Hmm... Greed is bad. Everyone should just work together.
[16.07.2025 23:47:37] Gabrielle.Dubois: Oui! We will come!
[16.07.2025 23:48:20] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: I joined the Ouroboros originally because I had grown disgusted by the GC. To this day I still have to take Stabiline to keep
[16.07.2025 23:48:22] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: myself alive.
[16.07.2025 23:48:33] Gabrielle.Dubois: What is wrong with you? Are you okay?
[16.07.2025 23:48:58] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: The GC require that new members be exposed to Cardamine. At least, in most sects.
[16.07.2025 23:49:25] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: It is.. extremely addictive, and relapse can result in death if not taken regularly. Continued heavy exposure can even require
[16.07.2025 23:49:54] Rules Tip: Do not disconnect from the server to escape player versus player interaction. Your ship will remain helpless in space for 2 minutes and you will not be able to reconnect during this time.
[16.07.2025 23:49:59] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: one to go to the Outcast homeworld to immerse themselves in the Cardamine-rich atmosphere.
[16.07.2025 23:50:13] Lucie.Dubois: That.. sounds horrible.
[16.07.2025 23:50:18] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: It is.
[16.07.2025 23:50:21] Gabrielle.Dubois: Yeah, I am so sorry.
[16.07.2025 23:50:37] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: But.. I did it, because I wanted to fight for my home. But Hanamura-sensei offered me.. and so many others another choice.
[16.07.2025 23:51:47] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Flying through here when I was younger.. always reminded me of Cotton Candy.
[16.07.2025 23:52:45] Gabrielle.Dubois: This system is beauteful.
[16.07.2025 23:52:51] Gabrielle.Dubois: I love the colors, the clouds.
[16.07.2025 23:52:54] Lucie.Dubois: It is very pretty.
[16.07.2025 23:52:57] Gabrielle.Dubois: The shimmering of the sun is amazing!
[16.07.2025 23:53:05] Gabrielle.Dubois: When we get up tomorrow, will you show us around?
[16.07.2025 23:53:08] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: It is. See why I said Kusari has its' own beauty? Even in the face of all this harshness?
[16.07.2025 23:53:19] Gabrielle.Dubois: Oui. I do. It only makes me want to help your cause more.
[16.07.2025 23:53:21] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Yes. We've not any taskings at the moment so I don't see why not.
[16.07.2025 23:53:23] Gabrielle.Dubois: I will dock for now.
[16.07.2025 23:53:32] Gabrielle.Dubois: Come on sis. Thank you very much, Major.
[16.07.2025 23:53:35] 2025-07-16 23:53:35 SMT Traffic control alert: Gabrielle.Dubois has docked
[16.07.2025 23:53:38] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: Ouroboros is always open to Gaijin.
[16.07.2025 23:53:44] Lucie.Dubois: I shall too! Thank you!
[16.07.2025 23:53:54] 2025-07-16 23:53:54 SMT Traffic control alert: Lucie.Dubois has docked
[16.07.2025 23:53:56] O>)ODS_Mendicant_Didact: So.. if you ever decide to take the plunge - I shall offer my endorsement.
