Kabukicho Depot

[Col_Lodden]

Location: The Golden Dragon, Hogosha Space HQ

Takata Ran sat unmoving at his ornate carved desk in the plush office, deep within The Golden Dragon; only the almost imperceptible hum of the ships engines served as a background hum. Even then, this was more a feeling than a sound through the deeply insulated walls of the office.

A quiet knock came at the door.....to which Takata pressed the automatic release...

"Come!"

Yuki Ayaka entered the room...

"Ah... Yuki" waved Takata..."Please take a seat, I have a proposition for you."

Takata waved his hand and Yuki nodded yes to the offered whiskey.

"You see, Yuki.....things have been difficult for me of late and one way or another, my families interests need to be resolved. As you know, my brother’s death is still not avenged and I feel that while this is so, I cannot lead the Black Dragon Society in a way that best suits the Hogosha. My mind is not in focus."

"I have observed you, Yuki, I need someone of your strength and commitment to look after things at least until I force closure of this issue......"

"...To be blunt....I am not a man of mixed and lengthy speeches as you know, would you care to pick up the reigns as Leader of the Black Dragon Society? I will be away for some time but will be contactable, plus you will have the advice of all other Elders."

"What do you think?.."

Takata leaned forward in his chair as he spoke looking for signs of strength....or weakness...
