▶ Hey there, Golden Chrysanthemums. It might be a bit embarrassing despite my Kusari roots, but do you know where I could possibly get cybernetic implants from the black market? I know they come from Honshu, but they don't exactly roll out the welcome mat for me over there.
Any chance you know of a base near planet Honshu where a Junker like me could easily score it in Kusari?

Konbanwa, Mai-sama.
I find your request truly fascinating. Most junkers I've met knew their black markets. In and out.
How or why you lack this information is puzzling, to say the least. Furthermore, I'll need to know more about you, before I decide to help.
Don't get me wrong, but I have absolutely no info on Mai Pham. For all I care, this might be a well orchestrated trap.
Give me some more details and I'm sure we can work something out. I know just the right dealer to set you up.
We're talking top shelf chrome here. Nicked from the best science facilities in Sirius. Proper tech, not like the other counterfeit crap.

▶ Hey there, Maruso Michiya. That's why I mentioned feeling a bit awkward - the truth is, we know most of the black market in Sirius, but Kusari is a liiittle bit of an exception. I'm not exactly sure what you'd like to know about me - I've been with your sisters in that weird system, where we were collecting even weirder pieces of obviously alien materials.
I'm a free Junker, mostly hanging around Liberty and Bretonia. If my name or looks bothers you, you're not the first - my old folks are former Gas Miners and they didn't change their names. Can't obviously change my race.
I reckon that's enough for an introduction, right?

Oh yeah! I remember you!
You're alright in my books. Had plenty of chances to take a jab at us, yet you didn't.
Should've said so from the start. Alright...let's see...augments...
Right, I know a chick that knows a dude that has a connection on a Dragon base in Kusari. The place is pretty remote and well guarded, so I can't exactly tell you where it is.
Dragons would have my head if I spilled.
But thing is, they sell what you are looking for. And then there's another option. Cleaner, but a bit taxing on the ship. I've got a dude in Berlin. Sells good stuff.
Take your pick, but if you choose the Kusari option, those need to go through me. Ain't no way they're letting an outsider anywhere near that base.
My fee will be symbolic, but there will be some expenses. Nothing excessive, of course.

▶ Hey there, Maruso Michiya. Yeah, I know that guy in New Berlin - he's on the Junker station, and I did manage to get those implants from him, but they seemed kinda pricey to me.
How much would one cargo unit cost if I were to get them through you? I can't take more than two thousand of them at a time.

Two thousand units? What are you planning to do? Augment an army?
Then again, none of my business.
Since you're buying in bulk, I'll cut you some sort of a deal. How does sixteen credits per unit sound to you?
It's a fair price, considering the quality of the tech.
