Shogun Gok-Li ordered the Court Guard to lower its weapons - seeing Chiba's actions as an angry flourish rather than a serious threat to the Taishogun.

"It is indeed the same message that was passed to the Taishogun."
"Chiba-san, if you have a trail to follow - then pursue it to the bitter end. If not, then I urge you to be patient, and do not follow blindly into a trap. If you have no leads, then wait until the traitor crawls out from under the rock she hides."
"In the meantime Chiba-san, if you wish to act as our Special Agent or Freelancer, I am authorising you to take your ship where you will, with our blessing. Remember though, you are a Dragon at heart - and the taishogun shall still hold you to the code of Honour!"
