SENDER: Setsuna Kobayashi, DOI Diplomatic Cabinet RECIPIENT: Brett Kensington, NDIA 'KOURINDOU' SUBJECT: Emigrations Brett-san, I wanted to reach out to you about a matter of concern that we've been having at the DOI for a while now. According to the Citizenship Affairs Cabinet, they're reporting a large amount of people from Kusari and Liberty have started seeking out residency or citizenship proper here in Utsunomiya. Given.. recent tensions, I'm unsurprised that people are wanting to leave for us, even if the amounts are nothing but percentages of percentages when it comes to their massive populations. But for us, even this is starting to become a strain and leaves concern for financial solvency and national security. Bringing all of these people into the fold is proving to cause a bit of panic, especially if the KOI may use immigration as a vector for a potential attack. I hope you and your men have some ideas, because we're trying to make sure things don't start falling apart here. Setsuna

SENDER: Brett Kensington, NDIA 'KOURINDOU' RECIPIENT: Setsuna Kobayashi, DOI Diplomatic Cabinet SUBJECT: Re: Emigrations Kobayashi - I'm well aware of it, and frankly between the Nomads lurking around Liberty, the Prometheans playing pattycake with them and the war between Liberty and Kusari, we've our hands full over here too. Suffice to say I'd approach Hanamura about the matter when she gets back from that meeting with that merc, Caliban. She's the star of this shitshow, anyway. But... if you put a gun to my head and asked for a solution, given we're technically at war, It'd make sense to try and bolster our numbers with some sort of draft, but that'd piss off the neighbors who already have a stick in their ass on the mudball we call home. Alternatively, we could establish a sort of answer to the old Gallic Foreign Legion, where citizenship for those who are able-bodied must be done through a tour of service? Maybe expand it to employment with Starcat as an exception for conscientious objectors for a year or two? With this we could ensure any new blood directly goes into the economy, save those who're disabled or those who are coming over as a family unit (We'd let the tykes and one of the parents recieve on the other's behalf for their service - something happens, Honorable discharge covers their asses.) I don't know, I'm just spitballing here, really. Brett Kensington National Defense Intelligence Authority 'Kourindou' TASKFOR SHIRIKUNNE, UNS Skidbladnir CO

SENDER: Brett Kensington, NDIA 'KOURINDOU' RECIPIENT: Setsuna Kobayashi, DOI Diplomatic Cabinet SUBJECT: I personally want to 'Ix-nay the olice-pay ate-stay.' Setsuna - As much as some Zoners may call us literally King Charles for this, we have probably one of the best intelligence apparatuses in the independent worlds - well, save the guys cosplaying as Old Man Hanamura's enemies from back when her daughter wasn't an ice cube, especially when it comes to the domestic domain. Hanamura reminded me of how paranoid and hellbent intelligence wise Freeport 11's security forces were. She wanted us to be able to nip any terrorist threats in the bud whilst respecting civil rights. It's a tightrope walk but fuck if we don't do a cleaner and better job than I experienced at the LSF for the short time I was there. The Festival was our biggest test of our intel and security capabilities. During the festival we had total sensor awareness at every corner, and were able to coordinate with Riposte to keep the peace. Other than a couple of drunken Mollies getting a bit too rowdy around sunset and sniffs of chatter among Maltese talking about possible smuggling routes that we took notes of for interdiction on our end, it was all relatively calm. We do keep tabs on people who come to Utsunomiya. We're not Sauron, but we're not flying blind either. If someone comes off as not a factor, we leave them alone. We've no interest in innocent people's lives - I sure as shit don't want to know what my neighbor does when I leave for work and hear moaning from his windows with the curtains closed - but if he's getting deliveries of active nomad artifacts to his door, then I'm sure as shit calling the police. I hope this calms you. Brett Kensington National Defense Intelligence Authority 'Kourindou' TASKFOR SHIRIKUNNE, UNS Skidbladnir CO
