The AFA Fallowed Ground slowly slid into Sago station, completing it's mission on it's madain voyage. It had been a grand journey, crossing the Siruis sector. Ambassador Ze'ev Barak had sent a message to Master Morimoto breifing him on the diplomatic agreements he had reached with the TBH and NLH, two groups who would help the AFA greatly in it's quest to establish itself and it's goals in Kusari. He would be meeting soon with other groups, but he had gotten enough support from other factions to declare it's establishment.
\\OOC: this story has come to it's concluson. AFA ships are now active on the server. This thread will be kept open for communicatoins to AFA or between AFA members untill an AFA message dump can be setup. Please consider this a RP message dump and act accordingly, please limit OOC in this thread. I will ask any excesivly OOC post to be removed by the Admins. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the many Disco members who have shown support for this RP both by participating as well as PM's of support, thank you all and I hope to either fight alongside you, or destroy you on the server soon. \\
Ze'ev Barak stood on the observation deck of Saga station, looking out on his new ship. With the Fallowed Ground being use as a bank ship, Ze'ev had needed a ship to travel around in, and his Eagle was far to vulnarible in the edge worlds, so he had talked to a few of his IMG contacts and worked out a deal for an IMG Gunboat. Barak had christened the ship, Ze'ev's Rage, fore this was more than a diplomatic vessel, it would be his mailed fist, the manifestaion of his rage toward Synthfoods and the other foerign companies that have been devistating the economiy and culture of his beloved Kusari.
As Ze'ev boarded the ship, he couldnt help but admire the sleek lines on this ship, IMG sure knows how to make a ship, he thought to himself. It was a tight ship, light and manuvarable for a gunboat, and while the power array didnt compare with others, with the loadout he had chosen, he could rain fire on all but the most determaned enemy.
This new ship needed a crew of 6 to fly, but due to the fact that this ship was to be used for diplomacy, he had the enginers at Saga make some small modifications to the ship, installing a full wardroom for Ze'ev to work and meet in, as well as a full dinning room and full kitchen. Barak had incressed his crew to 12 to deal with the unique situations of diplomacy. A chef, to start as well as a protocol officer, and a security chief, had been added to the crew.

Unfortunately, I was not able to come aboard your diplomatic ship at this time.
I am truly sorry about that, but business is business, and I can't change that.
So, this message is sent instead.
We are very interested in being in good relations with you, gentlemen.
This is what we are proposing.
-Mutual help against mutual enemies.
-Black Dragons will help AFA by raiding and attacking most Synth Food convoys passing trough New Tokyo.
-If the information about us raiding the convoys gets to the KNF, by your mistake, you will take full responsibility.
-Black Dragon Society expects you to help us defend New Tokyo from Blood Dragons and similar scum, and in return we will help You in defending the Kyushu system, whenever needed.
-Black Dragons are interested in funding you, so You can lure some more recruits, and equip them as needed.
In return, we only expect you to share with us all the information you get about all Kusari happenings. We like being informed.
Is this acceptable?
If not, some variations are possible. We are waiting for your proposition.
Or maybe we could meet on board Your Diplomatic ship, when I'm available.

Sir, your proposal is accepted with Much jubilation, Like you, we wish to have good relations with the KNF and have adopted a policy of not pirating in Kusari space while the KNF are in the region. I belive this could be the begining of a new age in Kusari politics, with the Black Dragons and AFA working together be more powerful together then we could ever be apart.
Ze'ev was reviewing the details of his newly signed deal with the Black Dragons Society of the Hogoshu. It was a wonderful development, he was thinking to himself when his comm unit alerted him to a new message. It was from Master Morimoto, the message contained a draft of the press relese that was going to be circulated. It was time for the AFA to expand beyond it's current level of operations, with their incressed support in Kusari, it was time to make SynthFoods understand that they were not wanted in Kusair. Ze'ev begain looking over the draft and making notes in the margins.
Barak finished reading the draft and making his notes, it was rather good. He sometimes took for granted Master Morimoto's skill at convincing people. He himself had been convinced to leave his kushy job in the Kusari Foreign Service to come and join the cause. Of couse he was an easy mark, son, grandson, and great grandson of farmers, his family had a large farm that his brother still ran, and the fact that he was looking for somethng to fight for, and this became it. Barak sent off the draft and notes to Master Morimoto, along with a few personal sentiments.
He then stood and walked over to a lovley mahagony bar that stood against the far wall of his wardroom, placed a small rocks glass and the bar and picked up a bottle of Irish whiskey. He looked at the bottle, it had been a gift from a freind he had made in the NLH. Slowly he poured himself a glass of the whisky and sat back down at the desk. He then opened a small wooden box on his desk, and removed a small white cigerette and lit it with a lighter from the box. Smoking was a bad ahbit he had picked up while on assignment on Ropongi Station, interdicting cardimine shipments. He didnt smoke often, but when he was stressed it made him feel better. He was stressed because he knew how important the draft he had just looked over was. The future of the AFA literaly depended on the draft. As he finished the cigerette, he put it out, and went ithrough the door of the ward room, into his personal quarters, deciding he would at least try to sleep tonight, an activity that had become more and more infrequent as things with the AFA progressed.

Ze'ev, our moment to rise up is coming soon. The final preparations are being made now to ensure that we will rise and finally put a stop to the poison that Liberty has been infecting our people with. I'm pleased to hear that we have an alliance with the Gaians of Bretonia and the Hogosha in New Tokyo. This will ensure we have powerful influences across our corner of the Sirius Sector.
Once these last items are taken care of, our numbers will swell and all those who want Kusari back to its former prosperity will have an opprotunity to ensure it brings the riches and power we once had.
For the Alliance!
