"I was greeted by a Kusari Naval Forces escort today, and was lead to Kansai research station, hidden within Honshu. Here, the KNF with the assistance of Kishiro, and to a far lesser extent Samura, were working on constructing a new line of Kusari vessels to support the fleet in the future. From what I was told in my short tour here, Kusari has been working for decades to match the technological prowess of Liberty warships, primarily in regards to hyperdrives, scanning equipment, and improved hull plating. Masked pirate attacks undertaken by the Hogosha and undercover KNF pilots against DSE, Ageira, and Liberty Naval convoys between Kusari and Liberty had been undertaken in an effort to procure technology from the other House, without ever giving away who was benefiting from these assaults."



"The ultimate short term goal of Kansai is, according to Kishiro developers here, to produce a cruiser with hyperdrive capability, sensor systems which can pierce the crow nebula, and advanced armor plating to shrug off enemy attacks, with the end goal being to use the vessel in an assault on the Blood Dragons. I dont exactly support the idea of wiping out a group which is, for the most part, made up of honorable people, but considering the need to establish an alliance with Kusari I think we might be able to trade some of the technology that the KNF are trying to develop. Afterall, we did start out with Liberty's next-generation warship, and have evolved our technology from there."

"I held a short meeting with KNF and Kishiro on Kansai before taking my leave. I will be returning to Order space tomorrow to go over my dealings here with the rest of High Command, and if the terms are settled on we will give our final treaty writeup to the Kusari government via holocommunication. Hopefully all goes well..."
