Commanders of the Druze! Your reputation across the Sphere is well-known, when a task must be accomplished it is to you all turn, knowing that you will do whatever is necessary to see it through without hesitation or compunction. It is for this reason that the StateEmpire of Yu Jing looks to you! We understand that the Japanese Secessionists have made an offer, one which seems impossible for you to avoid: already they have accumulated massive debts to accomplish their 'Uprising', and when they came to you as this Kurage Crisis broke out their logic was clear: if you do not continue to aid them, they cannot repay what they owe. It is a clever maneuver on their part, to be sure, securing your eternal service to their interests with the promise of payment forever just out of reach! But the StateEmpire offers you a different path. Our coffers burst with the wealth of Yutang and Shentang, of Chung Kuo and Mars, we do not need Noviy Cimmeria to honour our commitments. Our Yuan are ready, here and now, to pay you for your efforts, and the reputation of our Imperial Service and its employment of Bounty Hunters can assure you that we always pay our debts, and do so most generously. To serve under one's own banner is a point of pride, this we fully understand, but pride does not fill the purse. Do not let the Japanese manipulate you, demanding your blood so you might be payed what you are already rightly owed. In this Kurage Crisis, join with the StateEmpire, subscribe under our banner and battle in our name! The rewards will be rich indeed.
You, unlike the secessionists, see us as tools and nothing more, as barbarians, thieves, and criminals. True, the laws we keep differ from your own, but we have laws and believe in the corruption of the immortal soul and betrayal is one of the greatest corruptions. "O you who are distracted, how can he who is devoid of his corporeal means, obtain knowledge. O you who are heedless, how can he who abandoned his sensual faculty reach ignorance? And O you who are perplexed, how can the souls exist by themselves?And how can they settle in their origin, and yet have a life and procure their pleasures?" We have been betrayed in the past, and lost a great deal to that betrayal, we are not ones to visit that on people who have suffered as we have at the whims of the hyperpowers. And after all a contract is a contract. We will have our payment one way or another. Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk
If betrayal is the greatest corruption, then to fight alongside the Japanese is to fight alongside the most corrupt! Their betrayal of their oaths, their refusal to pay their debts, these things cannot be hidden behind their promises and clever words. Yesterday, the StateEmpire suffered their treason, tomorrow that fate will greet those who stand with them now. The StateEmpire reaches out its hand, eager to prevent others from that fate... and see them duly compensated for their labours.
As the elected representative of The Greater Druze Companies, and member on the Small Council, I officially infrom you that WE as Druze decline your offer. Shiwen, you have been charged 15 credits for this communication. Invoice to follow.
