That Kasuga is weird!Yozhiko thought as she used signed up in am e-shop called alhalili. It sounded something related to the Burning Sands. Buy the ugliest plate. He said... Shit, that thing has many ugly plates.
After idly checking ugly gaijin plates for like 10 minutes, Yozhiko resigned and decided to pick something randomly. Why can't people give precise instructions!As she waited for invoice that has a link for support that leads to a secure chatroom, she checked how she looked and fixed the bunny ears of her gas mask on her head.

Transit is always boring. Kasuga Naosuko sat in the soft blue glow as she traveled to Daigotsu 5768b to find the missing space station. This usually meant that she simply dozed a little while the soft hum of the drive lulled her to sleep. She received a notification, a purchase of a Haldir style show plate had just occurred.
Rousing herself from her stupor, she reviewed the transaction. 1 zeni, pick up, a name that she... did recognize. She acknowledged the notification, and a message was sent to the purchaser. Naosuko joins the secure chatroom, curious as to why she has been contacted.
No disguise, her face is forgettable enough without it.
"Al Halili Support, my name is Taro, how can I be of service?"

Yozhiko did not expect the support at alHalili to be that efficient, then again the Tortoise were if anything efficient.
"Blessings upon you and yours. It has been a while."
She took of the mask.
"I need some stuff. I do not particularly care to know where they come from. Mostly sensors. Do you dabble with combat simulation software these days?"

"My, aren't we direct." Naosuko chuckles, "If we did happen to have such software around, selling it to anyone that asks would be quite illegal. I am sure that your Lord provides well for you, O-Samurai-sama?"
"Of course, if it is for the good of the Empire and such information could be shared with us, we would be glad to contribute to a worthy cause."

"What qualifies as the good of the empire is a subject of perspective. I did not know that you are an information broker my friend. You are full of surprises."
She smilled and relaxed on her chair.
"The Dragon clan champion is being naughty again."

"The information is secondary. We do not wish to sell to those that would misuse our goods, lest it be traced back to us and we receive the blame for the unfortunate events." Naosuko shrugs, "There are of course exceptions among our staff, but I am not one of them."
She does something off screen, searching for an appropriate broker for the item that has been requested. "Hrm, I might know someone, but more details are required before I forward the details. You need not tell me everything, discretion is important to both of us. All I wish to know is that whatever task you have been set to protects this empire and stands in accordance to your Duty."
"Once I have that, we can do business of this sort and perhaps more, if needed."

"Something that might affect the whole Ningen-do, I guess fits that. Other realms might be involved."
She smirked and played with her hair.
"I might also have a cooperation proposal. Do you use a legal team and someone that renders escrow services?"

"For what purpose, Samurai-sama? You have completed the transaction for the beautiful plate. Nothing more is required on that front." Naosuko bows her head to the camera. "All we have left to discuss is the handling of your purchase, and any additional costs that might accrue."

"I was merely suggesting that our cooperation could extend beyond purchases." She repled as she lit up her pipe.
She tapped some keys on something off screen.
"I just forwarded you the list of items that I would like you to procure. The costs will be a no issue, just send me instructions on how to cover them and it shall be done."
A text messafe was received though the channel: "Do you need any clarifications on the items requested? I am willing to expand."

"We may be of further use to each other in the future, O-Samurai-Sama." The tortoise says, "Perhaps a friend in a faraway place to help you on your quest, if you wish."
"I will pass on your list to my supplier. He will be in contact about the specific availability and transaction costs within the next two days and will arrange delivery." Naosuko bows to the camera again, "The only item that I am still unsure about is the peculiarities of the software request."
"Is there anything else that we can assist you with?"

"Taro-san, you are kinda killing me here. I have a group of rookies here that might run on creatures under the influence of you know what. You know me long enough to know I am good."
She cocked her head as she thought about it.
"What will it take?" She asked finally.

Silence pervades on the other end as Naosuko considers the offer. "One moment please." She says finally and pushes a button. The screen on Yozhiko's side blanks out and begins showing a variety of plates backed by generic shop music. "Buy now! Only the best plates for your dinner."
((OOC: Contacting EmeraldDragon, will post again in a bit.))

Yozhiko put her legs on the desk and laid back smoking her pipe. She also put her mask on.
[OOC: Sure no probs.]

After about ten minutes of ugly plates, the music abruptly stops and the smiling face of 'Taro' appears again. "Thank you for holding, O-Samurai-Sama. Your total will be 3 koku today, including immediate shipping to wherever Natsu-togumara finds you."
"We can provide the ebooks now. Where would you like your physical items to be delivered?"

Yozhiko removed the mask as the music finally stopped.
"How soon can you get them in the Rimward Imperial space? I will be there the next 24 hours."
