Hm. Intriguing.

Nothing there says that they knew about your presence, but nothing necessarily says they didn't either. We should investigate these charges against the Gas Miners... there may be nothing to them, considering who they came from, but the potential reward is too great to ignore. Human rights are human rights, and I don't believe we've completely abandoned the third Geneva Convention. Even if they are barely within the law, it could become a public relations nightmare for both the GMG and Kishiro.

I would propose a joint effort in this. The Black Dragons have the manpower to investigate and hopefully terminate this threat of Privateer-Colonial cooperation, and we have a number of CLI Arrows and Ki-class racers that we can use to look into the working conditions in Okinawa and, should it be a trap, escape with a minimum of losses.

I will get to work on drafting the Syndicate's part of this plan.

(// Of course if we do spy on the GMG, I fully intend to discuss it with them first. That sort of thing is way too easy to metagame.)

Kumicho and brothers,


It is my great pleasure to announce that as per ordered, I had the pleasure to clean out Galileo of the Junker scourge.

As you can see from these images and recorded communications, he was quickly taught a lesson in gun control and manners.

Another instance of a toothless Junkyard dog with a bark worse than his bite!

Konnichiwa brothers,

I bring mixed news. Yesterday Hogosha scouts reported Cartel presence in Kyushu, and I responded in the gunboat Kusari Pride. The Cartel vessel ran, but on my return two GC vessels had taken down the trade lane and were openly pirating merchant vessels. While fortunately their latest victim escaped in their distraction, our vessel was not so lucky. Pride was heavily damaged despite the valiant efforts of her crew. The enemy vessels, Amenouzume and Aki.Shikyo were a gunboat armed with battle razors and a bomber, which were too much for our lone vessel. Nonetheless, in the last minutes of battle a Hogosha warrior named Yama****a Heikichi, belonging to some syndicate I did not recognize joined the fray, evening things considerably.

These ugly GC women have shown themselves for the common thugs they are. Perhaps next time they will not be so lucky . . .

On a more positive note, supply missions to our Gaian allies have been a rousing success, attracting no Bretonian attention. Within the past two weeks our ship Anauma has brought high tech equipment, "recreational supplies", and this latest batch of light arms to support the Gaian efforts against the Bretonian government:



We will continue our smuggling runs to support the Gaians so long as they remain logistically feasible (i.e. attract little official Bretonian attention). Perhaps in return we can get the Gaians to supply us with more of their beautiful Claymore gunships . . .

I must report to other duties, but I wanted to drop my fellow Hogosha a quick message. It would appear that our campaign against the Bretonian-loving, dishonorable, and spiteful IMG is starting to cause them to crack. Keep the pressure on, they will soon see things the Emperor's way.

Konnichiwa brothers,

I was called by the KNF to assist them taking out the legendary HMS Dagobaz, a stolen Kusari destroyer used by the Bretonian pirates. As I arrived on the scene, I was shocked to see that it was escorted by a Crysanthenum.

We opened fire at the Dagobaz, and we would not let it to. It tried to cruise away several times, but our determination had reason of it's cowardness.

I then asked to the KNF to leave the Crysanthenum alone and that I would take care of her. The KNF respected my decision. I begun having a discussion with her to try to make her realize the same truth I have realized some time ago. She refused to believe that the Crysanthenum elders were liers and puppets of the Outcasts. Suddenly, a Cartel fleet came and engaged the KNF forces. She opened fire at me to assist the Outcasts, and I was forced to use self-defence.

Being one of the only survivors of the initial attack of the Cartel, we retreated to Kyushu's planetary defence, which drove them off.

Konnichiwa Brothers,

I was told that Yarr was given trouble in Tau-23, so I decided to play a little game with the Societee Militaire Privee. I directly headed into the mining convoy they were protecting and messed with them some. I told them that I could make them bigger than the Bounty Hunters' Guild, and their greed got the best of them. I told them to follow me to Kabukicho, where we would have tea and discuss about it further. Little did they know that it was nothing but a trap. Sadly, I was the one made a fool out of and they destroyed Raiden's, Yarr's and another Hogosha that i forgot the name of's ships. They were unable to take me down, though, so they decided to retreat.

Immediatly after, I found a Golden Crysanthenum Gunboat in New-Tokyo. I tried to reason her to abandon the Crysanthenums, but the lies of the Elders has blinded her so had to get rid of her. As soon as she was neutralized, an IMG fighter, one who insulted me earlier as I was discussing with the SMP, came and refused to apology to me for having misinterpreted my intentions. He refused to, and Yarr and myself decided to put some logic into him.

Honorable friends.


Today with the good General.Yarr, we came across a lone IMG gunboat in Kyushu by the name of Dirtydeeds.

Earlier, he alerted the Colonial Remnant to our presence in the Taus and thus, retribution had to be made.

When he did not have the funds, we made him pay in.....other ways....










Of course, Pity finally overtook him and we had to let him go lest he became so disgraceful that he wouldn't even been able to face his family....but I already sent it to them so the harm is already done.

Greetings gentlemen,

Today, I received a very interesting transmission from a AFA recruit, apparently he had a very...revealing....conversation with a GC















Apparantly she flew off embarrassed and dishonored. I propose that we use this as blackmail for the GC in future endeavors.

konnichiwa.
i am the leader of gopnik group. we just resently started our work at kabukicho. our main goal as hogosha pilots is to keep foreignes away from kusari space, to help our allies corsairs (managed to make some friends there), and our farmers allies. we work for prosperity of kusari people, so we desided that any local traders like samura and even kishiro ids can expect our support and protection. zoners are considered to be nutral to our group, we dont attack or tax em. we also support knf and ksp in any actions against any bretonians and sometimes against gc.

sayonara

//thats the main idea of gopnik group. sadly to say that many pilots in my group cant communicate in good english. some are bad an some are just considered to be numb... in any way i was greeted by some farmers and hogosha pilots. then i was out for a week, and when i got back i was told that someone made an ultimatum to my group (wich i couldnt find anywere) and that [|] and yakuza groups (both hogosha) declared war on us. i really have no idea of whats going on. this info was given to me within game and reasons were: stealing someones customers and another reason i cant remember (sorry). if any pilot in bds knows what it meens then please explain it to me. apart from that all gopnik pilots are adecvate and friendly. we will be happy to become part of the bds and follow its rules and course, but if for any reasons you dont want to see any new groups in your society we can look elsewere. our main reason for playing fl is to have fun and make new friends. we started in liberty and it was compleetly nuts. im not tolking about fighting or rules, im tolking about the way people rp and communicate. most pilots there are just rude. when we came to kusari we saw compleetly the oposite and il be dissapointed if im wrong.

Konnichiwa Brothers,

Due to a recent disability incurred on a smuggling mission gone awry, I have and will continue to be less active in our patrols and activities.

The gunship Kusari Pride has thus been re-assigned to another warrior.

Thank you. Nagumo out.
