## Rumors

* The majority of inmates in Fuchu prison are Gaijin. This confirms our beliefs that the fewer foreigners we have in our space, the better it is for Kusari. I am not pleased that the government keeps lowering entrance standards.
* The Blood Dragons are a formidable opponent for us. Our patrols are not enough to curb their piracy within this part of space. We try to keep the Jump Gate clear of riffraff and protect the prison convoys.
* The Blood Dragons are the greatest threat in this part of the system. We also encounter Golden C. and Farmers Alliance attack patrols on the Trade Lanes running from the Jump Gates.
* For many of our ranks it is better to work here. Our job means the most in Shikoku. This would be the entry point for many of the criminals that could plague our space if we let them.
* My daughter has joined the Golden Chrysanthemums. It is a terrible dishonor for my family, and I try to keep the fact secret. She was always a precocious child. I only pray she is killed without being identified.
* It is a pity that this system is so rife with criminals, since it is a very beautiful place. Sometimes I will sit and meditate upon this paradox. It is as if mud has been kicked upon a flower.
* I am glad that I do not work at the Fuchu prison. It would make me sick to be surrounded by so many bloodthirsty Rogues. Even stepping foot on Deshima makes my eyes water; it smells so foul there.
* There was a time when the only foreigners in Kusari were in this system. That was a wonderful time for our people, I'm sure. We wouldn't have any criminals to speak of except the Blood Dragons if things had remained that way.

* Basic supplies are brought to this base by Samura and no other. It is either brought in from New Tokyo, or we ship it here from within the system.
* The only company allowed to land at this base is Samura. We are honored with the task of keeping Kusari safe. It is true that we do not do the work ourselves, but how would the police operate without our assistance?
* Even though we are shipping to a police base, our convoys are attacked quite often. I do not wish to speak ill of our police force, but they cannot always defend us from the mongrels in this system. It is all the foreigners that turn their attention away from the real criminals, the Blood Dragons.
* My son -- he is a good boy -- told me he wanted to make a difference and was going to join the police. He was never interested in business or I would have secured him a position with Samura. I told him that the police did not live long enough to make a good career. He is serving in the military.
* The only base that Kishiro does business on in this system is Deshima. This should tell you who is the more trusted of the two keiretsu. Kusari's corporate interests in Shikoku are faithfully represented by Samura.
