I am in the process of registering to the Kusari Communications Network. It seems they won't just let anyone apply. These channels will greatly help maintain our influence in Kusari..


On a more frustrating note. Today I have encountered enough Gaijin traders to earn a passage aboard the Golden Dragon. The mere frustration these gaijin cause is quite unhealthy. It takes quite the nerve to not simply deal with the gaijin with force. Most of these Gaijin are simply ignorant of our laws. A lesson I think better learned when under the fire of my weapons. I have been too respectful of these foreign invaders, trying to uphold an image for the Black Dragons as the Guardians of Kusari. Clearly, this image is wrong. We are the Guardians of the Kusari people, not of entrepreneurs seeking to cripple our beliefs and heritage for their quick dollar. Not one gaijin, who did co-operate, and was directed towards a legal means of licensing in our laws has yet took it upon themselves to follow my advice.

I request that ANY gaijin seen trading restricted exports, be listed here, so I may take it upon myself to "teach" them these laws. Even if they co-operate, ignorance is not an excuse.



What troubles me the most is that KNOWN kusari smugglers, ones that have been blacklisted in the codex are still managing to slip through our systems.



Luckily, a the KNF gunboat, Soukyoku was able to intercept him at Kyushu. The scum immediatly began to flee towards the New tokyo jumphole. I was able to cut him off, yet he was able to make the jump to new tokyo.

Here is the troubling part.

He proceeded to dock at Kabukicho Depot!





I have no doubt in my mind that the trader met a swift death (//LOL I WISH THIS OORP actions are quite nerve wracking*) by the Hogoshan security.

How is it that a known Kusari smuggler is able to dock aboard one of our stations. I should hope that those in charge of docking procedures on Kabukicho will undergo a radical... training session, in order to ensure this does not happen again.

Also, I will personally consider stinger[T] a hostile threat to Kusari, until he purchases an export license. Zoner's are far from neutral if they continue to bring supplies to Bretonia.




Even if they claim their supplies are headed towards one of their bases, how are we to track that it does not end up in the hands of our enemies? Travel to zoner bases is far to great to monitor. We have no garuntee these independant zoners are as trustworthy as the TAZ. Even then, are these traders able to resist pirates? Or maybe comendeering of their supplies by Bretonian forces? These traders are creating very realistic threats with their trades, ones that we cannot allow to continue, not only in order to protect the people of Kusari, but to protect our interests as the Hogoshan syndicate.
