GC Tea House

[Geisha_Maiko]

Lady Kurisho returns to her corner table.
By this time, her commutation datapad is beeping softly, indicating an incoming message.
She presses a button and a hologram appears of an unknown pilot:

""*ENCRYPTED TRANSMISSION--ORIGIN UNKNOWN*
Pardon M'lady but I am encrypting my identity here. I do not wish for "CS" or the "Wild" to know who I am and that I have reported this. Nonetheless, out of concern for you and your honored sisters I submit the recording fragment I was able to overhear in passing through Tohoku earlier today. My apologies for repeating the insult--more was said that was even worse but this is all I captured:

A data log is received, scanned for viruses and spyware. Lady Kurisho reads the fragmented log then lets out a frown upon her Black Painted face.

May you be avenged seven-fold and if I may ever be of assistance do not hesitate to contact me. There were four "CS" in the assembly there but this one and "ironwatsas" were the only ones I recall by name. This was the only Wild I heard as well.

She presses the transmit button and replies to the Unknown Pilot:
"Thank you for your .....'report'. We shall look into the matter further.
Lady Kurisho, out. "

She ends the commutations with the unknown pilot. Switching to internal coms channel and setting the encryption :
''Gold Security, where is Watsas ?"
"He just left his lab, Ma'am. Seems to be headed towards the bar. "
''Prep all Gold teams on standby. Loadup the Heavy Anti-cyborg gear and await my direct command. The following areas are to be 'secured' on my 'mark' : Watsas's Lab , the Hanger bay and the bar. Have the Prep work done quickly BUT quietly & discreetly. "

The guard on the other end of the coms replies back with a stutter in the voice:
" Is....is...there a problem, Ma'am ? "
"Yes. We might have to kill a friend. "
"uuummm........Yes Ma'am."

She set her coms datapad down on the table and reach over to one side, removing one of the nearby seat cushions.
Reaching into a hidden compartment, she withdraws an old side-by-side 8 gauge sawed-off shotgun, loads up 2 black shell rounds into the breach and places the weapon back into the hidden compartment, reclosing the seat cushion lid.

By this time, another com message is incoming. She picks up the data pad and presses a button:
On the secured diplomatic channel :

To the /CS/, Encrypted:

Konnichiwa.
I indeed got told some disturbing news earlier on today.
You insult us behind our backs. and then you are working with the wilde?
Talking like you are 'Best of friends'
You have gone too far.
You are not allowed to dock on any bases under GC control and any Consortium equipment and personnel are required to get out of our space until you show you are truely allies, and you have destroyed Wilde Boeser Verraeter. If you do not comply i will give the order to have all Consortium destroyed on sight.
We are not your pets, and we are definately not your Organic breeder shells.
That will be all.
Elder Saigo Watanabe.



Lady Kurisho sighs deeply and places the coms data pad in her lap.
"Mother Amaterasu-sana, help us in this time of need....."
