"This is Kotaka-one to Kotaka-two and three. I've got a visual on the docking ring. Prepare for atmospheric entry."

Roger that Kotaka-one. Kotaka-two is green.
Kotaka-three is green.

"Confirm latitude and longitude of rendezvous."

Latitude four-one three-seven zero-five, longitude minus six-zero zero-nine four-eight.

Nozaki Ichitmoto strapped himself in as he fired reverse thrusters on his Wasapu.

"This is Kotaka-one. Rendezvous confirmed, commencing atmospheric entry."

The two Kusari Drone freighters touched down, one on each side of the Wasapu. The freighters' doors slid open, as platforms extended from underneath and dropped to the landing pad below. Four guards, two armored, poured out from each and formed two parallel lines next to the Wasapu, standing at attention.

The Wasapu's cockpit sprung open, and a well-built Kusari man jumped out. The Guild Master was dressed in formal business attire, save for one article: his katana. In formation, the nine approached the Royal Baden Hotel.
