Do you mind attempting to negotiate for access to Hokkaido as well?

Message to: Wing Captain Mori
Comm ID: Chijin, Taisho, KNF

Captain,

Bear in mind that this is a temporary agreement. We will withdraw from Hokkaido to provide a buffer zone while the KNF rebuilds its forces to its former strength. While I understand that this deprives you of a base of operations, it cannont be helped. Resupply and trade missions to the construction site and the Matsumoto can still be conducted by House traders. We will just not linger, and will inform NovapG and Bushido craft of our presence and intentions.

Also, speaking of that, what would our job be if there were no Blood Dragon invaders to engage? In what other way can a defensive wing like ourselves serve the Emperor?

Need I remind you that just recently a contingent of Bretonian Sirius Forces drove all the way into the heart of the Blue Lagoon? They attacked our bases in both Kyushu and New Tokyo. I would suggest that an appearance of your Defensive Wing would have been most appropriate at that time.

Further, I doubt you will have any lack of intruders to defend against in Kusari. Independent pirates abound, many of them Blood Dragons, as well as Outcasts and Corsairs. Why, the Gunboat Chijin was severely damaged just last evening by a Nayehiya Old One. A rogue gunboat flying freely at will in New Tokyo!

Captain, if you cannot find traders to defend, and targets of opportunity other than the NovapG and the Bushido, then I suggest you are not looking hard enough. Your fixation on these Clans from our North is understood. It grates on my honor and sensibilities to offer any of Kusari space to our enemies, even temporarily; but I must, in order to focus on other matters.

This will be a time of reflection for us all. House Kusari can be an even greater force in Sirius than ever before, if it is not divided in its efforts and intentions. Perform your duties well, and we shall prevail against Bretonia and other pirate intruders and scum.

Chijin
