The grey and silverhaired gentleman known as the spokesperson of the Miller hunter family rises and speaks:
"I for one have directed my nephew young Maersk Miller, to station his vessel at Deshima for now. As for why the emperor suddenly are going ballistic regarding Deshima station is not something I will speculate about. But he and his puppetmaster should be aware that all the ressources of the Guild will be brought to bear against agressors towards Guild property.
On behalf of the complete Miller family, I hereby pledge my unconditional support to the Guildmasters with regards to any decisions taken to resolve the kusari situation. Even if that means war with the riceaters.
On this, I McKinney Miller give you my word."
The grey and silverhaired gentleman sits down again.
