AREA OF EXPERTISE: "Creative" accounting, Bretonian and Rheinlandic politics

I apologize for the delay. Jack was "upgrading" our comm systems. And by that I mean he took them apart to see what the insides looked like. At least that's the best I can figure.

In any case, I'm not sure aggression is the best move here. While it's true that war brings business, it's only good business if you're getting paid to support one or more of the sides. If it's the Junkers fighting, that's just going to cost money. Why do that when we can do something profitable ourselves?

The Hogosha and their artifact connections with the Corsairs could cause some backlash if we can't get some insurance on the matter. No, I'm not talking about IC, no matter how shady they are. We need to find a situation where we can get business partners to protect our interests. The first thought is if that these Gaian types are suddenly clamoring for artifacts. If we could get a strong deal, that would improve our relations, first of all, and be a kick in the face to those dirty farmers. Then if the Hogosha try and get the Corsairs to stop selling, we drive a wedge right down the center of their friendship, giving us time to make up for it.

The GC are a good angle in Kusari, and we should keep supporting them as much as possible. With that in mind, though, there may be some additional options. Rumor has it that chaos is afoot with those Colonials and their diplomacy. Maybe we could throw a wrench in their gears and get them and the Kusari angry at each other? That'd keep them out of our hair and give those Tokyoites something to worry about.

I hear those Wild are causing a ruckus in part of Kusari, as well as down in the Omegas. Maybe we can get those Order to focus primarily on that southern thread, helping our shipping near Bornholm while causing more chaos in Kusari? Obvious not enough to cause problems beyond their borders, but enough to hurt.

I'm sure there are some other options, too, of these sorts and those are what we should focus on. We should work with our strengths. Why fight these fools if we can get others to do the same? Especially if the others will pay for weapons to do so?
