Ah, I forgot to inquire during our little conversation, if there was any evidence of infestation within Kusari, I would be much appreciative of it.

There was a few things I had happen to overhear, I wish to forewarn you regarding the incident on New Tokyo, it has apparently spurred interests of a more hostile reactionary presence of possible paramilitary assets... I'm afraid I'm really not accustomed to Kusari traditions, I overheard a family who owned the Shrine, owns their own armed force. Some kind of ancient oath, one where it demands bloodshed. A secondary source mentioned the existance of this armed group in which it validates the first talks I eavesdropped.

Code:

[12.03.2026 21:09:26] Kuzunoha: ?: It is good to be back to Kusari, and yet coming back to the terror attack is something I didn't wish.
[12.03.2026 21:10:03] [KNF]IKN-Nagato: Okamoto: It was indeed a dark day. A precedent that no further examples should follow.
[12.03.2026 21:10:28] [KNF]IKN-Nagato: Okamoto: Believe me, if I had my way on this topic.. ah. Not here, not now.
[12.03.2026 21:11:13] Kuzunoha: ?: Between us, Kusarians? "They" may solve that quicker than the authorities, no offense.
[12.03.2026 21:12:11] Kuzunoha: ?: Attack on the shrine? Barbaric. Only the idiots, faithless and the gaijin bring weapons into the temples.
[12.03.2026 21:12:31] [KNF]IKN-Nagato: Okamoto: How ominous. They. Are you one of his assets? Hmm.
[12.03.2026 21:12:38] [KNF]IKN-Nagato: Okamoto: And targetting a child, no less.
[12.03.2026 21:13:16] Kuzunoha: ?: It's just my bet Hogosha shall quickly solve these things.
[12.03.2026 21:14:01] [KNF]IKN-Nagato: Okamoto: I'd place my bet on the Kazu family itself. Post civil war laws mandated their forces to be less well equipped -
[12.03.2026 21:14:17] [KNF]IKN-Nagato: but they maintain a semi-legal PMC.
[12.03.2026 21:14:24] Kuzunoha: ?: I think the new law changes should come back.
[12.03.2026 21:14:27] [KNF]IKN-Nagato: Okamoto: And it was their shrine that was struck.
[12.03.2026 21:15:25] Kuzunoha: ?: The old texts say that no man can live under the same sky as the one who harmed their family.
[12.03.2026 21:16:13] [KNF]IKN-Nagato: Okamoto: A text the Kazu family is likely to take to heart.
[12.03.2026 21:16:29] Kuzunoha: ?: To be honest, I'll be damned if we shouldn't get back to Igagoe idea.

Mmm... I'm afraid I cannot get into details or provide any - if at all some intel; for not only my safety but for the safety of my friends and those around me. As well as the greater lack of context of what it fully entails. I have a lot of KOI trailing me, watching my every step, it's increasingly more difficult to garner my own privacy. To the point where my little robotic friend is the one smuggling out this encrypted transmission. Thankfully the KOI do not possess intimate knowledge of the unknown in this case.



I do have another query in curiosity however, I overheard one of these TSK Dragons mentioning that one of your people had opened fire on them. I had assumed things were stable amongst the Dragon groups?


An extension of my apologies must be offered if what I have provided was something that was already known or if this information is deemed too barren. I had thought it prudent to provide some clarity. However I cannot permit myself to the risk of getting killed here, I have a lot of work to be done.
