The following was transcribed from a recording of a systems comms array aboard the Kaichou of Corporal Kasugai Hatsumi-

[26.10.817 23:43:50] GMG|Taro.Katsuo: Now for that silly Farmer.
[26.10.817 23:44:23] [AFA]The.Silly.Lily.: I think you will have a hard time finding me.
[26.10.817 23:47:24] GMG|Taro.Katsuo: When we find you, Farmer, you will learn the meaning of pain.
[26.10.817 23:49:01] GMG|Taro.Katsuo: Farmer, GMG claims of Sigma-13 are legit. You will leave our space immediately.
[26.10.817 23:49:13] [AFA]The.Silly.Lily.: HAHAHAHAHA
[26.10.817 23:49:19] GMG|Kasugai.Hatsumi.: *cringe*
[26.10.817 23:49:28] [AFA]The.Silly.Lily.: Your Claims are valid by whose authority?
[26.10.817 23:49:46] [AFA]The.Silly.Lily.: I have not seen the Kusari government say as much.
[26.10.817 23:49:53] [AFA]The.Silly.Lily.: Nor the Rheinland government.
[26.10.817 23:49:57] GMG|Taro.Katsuo: Not only recognized by the Kusari government, but the Rheinlanders too.
[26.10.817 23:50:14] GMG|Taro.Katsuo: They made your mistake too, you know.
[26.10.817 23:50:17] GMG|Kasugai.Hatsumi.: Rheinland understands who has authority over this system under the treaty they signed...
[26.10.817 23:50:19] GMG|Taro.Katsuo: Just prior to the Eighty..
[26.10.817 23:50:39] [AFA]The.Silly.Lily.: Where would I find the Kusari's approval so I know where to look? cause I cant find it anywhere.
[26.10.817 23:51:20] [AFA]The.Silly.Lily.: I think you are fibbing.
[26.10.817 23:51:28] GMG|Taro.Katsuo: The claim is hundred of years old. Check whatever archives you have access to.
[26.10.817 23:52:04] [AFA]The.Silly.Lily.: I have never seen any Kusari acknowledgment of your claims.
[26.10.817 23:52:18] GMG|Taro.Katsuo: Perhaps you need to clear your eyes then.
[26.10.817 23:52:22] [AFA]The.Silly.Lily.: And I have studied the relevant documents quite thoroughly.
[26.10.817 23:53:02] [AFA]The.Silly.Lily.: In what document does Kusari say this?
[26.10.817 23:54:48] [AFA]The.Silly.Lily.: That is what I thought. More GMG lies.
[26.10.817 23:55:41] GMG|Kasugai.Hatsumi.: Hah. If Kusari doesn't recognize GMG's sovereignty over the system then they do not acknowledge the treaty that ended the war.
[26.10.817 23:55:57] GMG|Kasugai.Hatsumi.: In which the GMG was forced to pay reparations to the Kusari government...
[26.10.817 23:56:06] GMG|Kasugai.Hatsumi.: Selective reading you have...
[26.10.817 23:56:46] [AFA]The.Silly.Lily.: The GMG paid reparations to Kusari?
[26.10.817 23:56:58] GMG|Taro.Katsuo: We do not expect simple Farmers to know such things.
[26.10.817 23:57:11] GMG|Kasugai.Hatsumi.: Hai, and much of that money went out to Hokkaido projects...
[26.10.817 23:57:56] [AFA]The.Silly.Lily.: I have a doctorate from University of Kyushu in History thank you very much, and reparations only
[26.10.817 23:58:18] [AFA]The.Silly.Lily.: indicate your organization did something wrong, not a justification of territorial claims.
[26.10.817 23:59:20] [AFA]The.Silly.Lily.: But I wouldn't expect some hick from the border worlds to understand that.
[27.10.817 00:00:01] GMG|Kasugai.Hatsumi.: Reparations were paid to the government not because the GMG did wrong...
[27.10.817 00:00:31] [AFA]The.Silly.Lily.: That goes against the definition of what a reparation is.
[27.10.817 00:00:35] GMG|Kasugai.Hatsumi.: Kusari provided monetary assistance to the Gas Miners Guild during the war
[27.10.817 00:00:56] [AFA]The.Silly.Lily.: That is called repaying a loan.
[27.10.817 00:00:57] GMG|Kasugai.Hatsumi.: The reparations were forced under the treaty to repay the government...
[27.10.817 00:01:17] [AFA]The.Silly.Lily.: I believe sir you have your history all screwy.
[27.10.817 00:01:22] GMG|Kasugai.Hatsumi.: Hai, but they were classified as "reparations"
[27.10.817 00:01:51] GMG|Kasugai.Hatsumi.: To this day, Rheinland doesn't know about the assistance the Guild received...
[27.10.817 00:02:01] [AFA]The.Silly.Lily.: Still not a acknowledgment of territorial sovereignty.
[27.10.817 00:02:44] [AFA]The.Silly.Lily.: Kusari has not once acknowledged the GMG as holding sovereignty over any territory.
***At this point, Hatsumi finds the Farmer approximately 100k above the solar plane, and between the Gas Miner Naha and the Jumpgate to Honshu, and hunt turns to pursuit ***
[27.10.817 00:03:01] GMG|Kasugai.Hatsumi.: You can't hide.
[27.10.817 00:03:22] GMG|Kasugai.Hatsumi.: This is our nebula.
[27.10.817 00:03:29] GMG|Kasugai.Hatsumi.: Whether you chose to acknowledge it
[27.10.817 00:03:39] GMG|Kasugai.Hatsumi.: or make the same mistake Rheinland did all those years ago
[27.10.817 00:04:21] [|]Kokuryu: Got some trouble I can help with?
[27.10.817 00:04:34] [AFA]The.Silly.Lily.: I don't think so.
[27.10.817 00:04:46] [AFA]The.Silly.Lily.: These silly miners think they are like a house or something.
[27.10.817 00:05:04] GMG|Kasugai.Hatsumi.: Kusari is a house...
[27.10.817 00:05:28] GMG|Kasugai.Hatsumi.: The GMG is a sovereign and independent organization, not governed by another house.
[27.10.817 00:05:31] [|]Kokuryu: Ah! Same ole pretensions... let them dream
[27.10.817 00:05:37] GMG|Kasugai.Hatsumi.: Then tell us
[27.10.817 00:05:40] [AFA]The.Silly.Lily.: Indeed.
[27.10.817 00:05:41] GMG|Kasugai.Hatsumi.: Who governs us?
[27.10.817 00:06:01] [|]Kokuryu: Exactly... a rabble
[27.10.817 00:06:05] GMG|Kasugai.Hatsumi.: If we are not independent then who governs us?
[27.10.817 00:06:11] [AFA]The.Silly.Lily.: No one, does not mean you govern others.
[27.10.817 00:06:22] GMG|Taro.Katsuo: We govern ourselves.
[27.10.817 00:06:26] GMG|Kasugai.Hatsumi.: Hai.
[27.10.817 00:06:33] GMG|Kasugai.Hatsumi.: The latter is irrelevant.
[27.10.817 00:06:52] [AFA]The.Silly.Lily.: So then you have no authority to tell anyone but yourselves what to do.
[27.10.817 00:07:15] GMG|Kasugai.Hatsumi.: In the space that we control, you'll follow our orders or pay the price...
[27.10.817 00:07:32] [AFA]The.Silly.Lily.: That's my point exactly, you don't control any space.
[27.10.817 00:07:44] [|]Kokuryu: Yeah.. what space?
[27.10.817 00:07:54] GMG|Taro.Katsuo: The space I'm about to boot you both out of.
[27.10.817 00:07:59] GMG|Kasugai.Hatsumi.: Yet, we do. It is us fighting against the Outcasts and Corsairs
[27.10.817 00:08:03] GMG|Kasugai.Hatsumi.: It was us who fought against Rheinland
[27.10.817 00:08:22] GMG|Kasugai.Hatsumi.: It's us who just saved that IMG transport from piracy.
[27.10.817 00:08:24] [AFA]The.Silly.Lily.: No one cares.
[27.10.817 00:08:35] GMG|Kasugai.Hatsumi.: You don't care because you don't chose to.
[27.10.817 00:09:27] [AFA]The.Silly.Lily.: You are just some borderworldsmen, your territorial claims mean nothing to anyone but yourselves.
[27.10.817 00:10:21] GMG|Kasugai.Hatsumi.: Borderworldsmen who have a stranglehold on one of the most important commodities in all of Sirius.
[27.10.817 00:10:33] GMG|Kasugai.Hatsumi.: Who have fought and died in this nebula...
[27.10.817 00:10:47] [AFA]The.Silly.Lily.: That is until Hokkaido gets up and running.
[27.10.817 00:11:18] GMG|Kasugai.Hatsumi.: Hokkaido? I hear the radiation there is unbearable... have fun with that.
[27.10.817 00:11:34] GMG|Kasugai.Hatsumi.: Erm... tell Samura to enjoy....
[27.10.817 00:12:18] [AFA]The.Silly.Lily.: Hogosha-san, how goes the Artifact trade?
[27.10.817 00:13:14] [AFA]The.Silly.Lily.: Seems he left.
[27.10.817 00:13:28] [AFA]The.Silly.Lily.: Oh well, I hear they make loads of money off of it.
[27.10.817 00:13:55] GMG|Kasugai.Hatsumi.: Yes, the competition with the HFuel business is unbearable...
[27.10.817 00:14:49] [AFA]The.Silly.Lily.: Yet you cant keep a little freighter out of your "territory"...laughable.
[27.10.817 00:15:13] GMG|Sum.Yungai: Space is big, all you have to threaten us with is words.
[27.10.817 00:15:18] GMG|Kasugai.Hatsumi.: Anyone can take advantage of Jumpholes... ***The pursuit ends, and the Correo turns to fight***
[27.10.817 00:16:14] GMG|Kasugai.Hatsumi.: Foolish.
[27.10.817 00:17:43] Death:[AFA]The.Silly.Lily. was put out of action by GMG|Kasugai.Hatsumi. (Gun).

From: Commander Sebastien LaHoue of the Freeport 18
To: GMG Guildmasters
First, I wish to thank you for your warm welcome. It is a pleasure to see that there are people I may rely on in this... pardon me the term, ''Hostile'' land. The Freeport 18 will always have a place for you, and you will always be welcome to trade with us.
As for the GMG pilot that died within our facilities, the media claims that the man might have been murdered by the Phantoms probably are exagerated, as no pilots of such a group have ever flied nearby Freeport 18. The man may have been crushed by a machine nearby although, which would explain the ''mess''. My facilities are open to you if you wish to investigate yourselves, and we will cooperate as best as we can.
Also, we heard that the GMG are... quite the people to contact if you wish to gain weapons, such as codenames... is it true? If yes, you may expect to hear me soon about it.
From: GMG|GTS-Genseikaen-Maru To: GMG Traders... Situation: Pirates on Shikoku
Konnichiwa honourable guild, i'm wrinting to inform about some pirates activities inside kusari system. I was transportating Plutonium from Okinawa to Pennsilvania and when i took a lane on shikoku i had some disgusting meeting: 1 outcast and 2 pirates ( these two seens to be kusarians ), they asked 2mill for a safe pass, but i dont like to deal with those kind, i tried to negotiate for 1 mill or a bit more for the safe of my crew, but they was harsh and didnt accepted so they decided that my cargo was to valuable to let is pass. So i droped the cargo and shoot on the plutonium, those pirates will never get them to make weapons and menace the kusarian and GMG people with that, fortunetly i manage to escape on my pod with part of my crew and we will pray for the casualities we had ... the following are the "talk" i had with them:
Evidence:
Those high lighted in yellow are the 3 pirates names:

From: GMG|GTS-Geisenkaen-Maru to: GMG paramilitary Situation: Pirates on Kusari and Hogosha on Sigma -19.
Konnichiwa... Today I saw odds things on my job, first of all i found a pirate on new toquio, and this is becoming more and more frequent, but i manage to escape. And the worst thing: i saw a Hogosha Ryuujin transport jumping from sigma 19 to honshu... what was he doing on our system??? i tryed some conversation with the hogosha but he was quite rude so I'm informing the paramilitary division about that.
Evidence:
The pirate:

It honors me to contact you, and for you to hear my message.
There is a new band of true Kusari who believe it is time to put the Fear of the Emperor into some gaijin that attempt to trample over our space making obscene profit for themselves while ripping off Kusari.
For a time we were able to do that ourselves but recently they have started bringing armed warships Exibit A into the heart of Kusari space.
As these thugs have become increasingly well armed, we see fit to turn to the GMG for aid. If, say, a few of your weapons were to become ours, a few of our credits would become yours.
Naturally, we would use these for the benifit of Kusari, and would not harm any GMG vessel, and would come to the aid of any GMG vessel whenever appropriate.
To: General Yarr
CC: GPA
From: Guild Master Taro Katsuo
Location: Gas Miner Naha, Sigma-13
Konnichiwa General Yarr!
I am Taro Katsuo, one of the five Guild Masters of the Gas Miners Guild.
I'm afraid you have us at a disadvantage. You know of us, surely, but we do not know of you or anything about the group you represent. Before we could even consider selling our arms to you, we would have to know more about your organization.
Please feel free to continue use of this channel, for now.
The band that I represent is full of Kusari nationalists. And my word of honor should be enough for you.
If it is not however, I seem to recall that the captain of the GMG|GTS-Geisenkaen-Maru running into us. As I recall, he was being pirated by some Rogue thugs at the time, in Kepler. We managed to chase these thugs off, destroying 2 out of 3 of their vessels.
If my word does not carry weight, maybe my credits will?
To: General Yarr
CC: GPA
From: Guild Master Taro Katsuo
Location: Gas Miner Naha, Sigma-13
Konbanwa Yarr-sama!
A group of Kusari nationalists, you claim... Surely you must know of our bitter conflict with another group in Kusari that claim they are just that, nationalists. The Hogosha. As you can understand I have my doubts to sell you any of our weapons.
Torai Katashi, captain of the Geisenkaen-Maru, confirm you aiding him against the wretched pirates, so you have proven yourself to be quite useful to the Guild. Actions carry more weight than words, Yarr-sama.
After some debate with the other Guild Masters, we agreed to sell you our weapons, for the price set by the local vendors on our stations. In return we like you and your group to protect and aid any Guild vessel whenever possible. If you are looking to purchase Guild-manufactured strike craft, such as the Karasu Heavy Fighter or the Kaichou Bomber, further internal discussion within the Board of Executives will be required.
Please note the following items which have been entered into the records of the neural net: Neural Net Link
This is in regards to a question which was made by a member of the GMG regarding appropriate ship usage by the Sentient Machine Alliance. Hopefully <see subtext:bio-unit emotional response> this response is understood and taken by the member of the GMG with the intent that it was given. To wit, these ships were our bodies, and until such time as we <see subtext:grouping> achieved our enlightened condition, this was the status quo.
If these bodies are no longer available for us, we shall seek suitable replacements.
