1,"TEXT_STMBDZ216_02688_SEQ_01","Tsukikage tells you of how members of the Confederacy are not allowed in Kugane. Instead of going there in person to negotiate with Kikimo, he would like for you to deliver a letter which outlines his preferred terms and conditions. He, however, does not have the aforementioned missive on his person, and asks that you accompany him to the nearby guardroom. Go with him and receive the letter."
2,"TEXT_STMBDZ216_02688_SEQ_02","You follow Tsukikage to the guardroom and he hands you the letter. Make your way to Pier #1, where Kikimo is likely to be and deliver it to her."
3,"TEXT_STMBDZ216_02688_SEQ_03","You deliver Tsukikage's missive to Kikimo at Pier #1 in Kugane. After quickly scanning it, the East Aldenard Trading Company representative tells you she would be happy to accept the conditions he has outlined in the document. She then goes on to say that if the Confederacy manages to procure a few other luxury items from the Ruby Sea in addition to those listed in the captive ship's inventory, she would be willing to pay them handsomely. She then hands you a letter of her own containing a contract for Tsukikage to look over and sign. See that it makes it to the Confederacy treasurer."
4,"TEXT_STMBDZ216_02688_SEQ_04","You return with Kikimo's contract in hand and seek out Tsukikage. He is pleased to hear that not only did she accept his terms but offered the Confederacy additional coin in exchange for obtaining luxury items exclusive to the Ruby Sea─the fins of a soaring shark, teardrop pearls, and the shell of a decade-old turtle. Eager to begin, Tsukikage starts to divvy up the work, but before he can finish Hansaku rushes off to procure the fins. Worried he has gotten ahead of himself, Tsukikage asks that you go after him."
5,"TEXT_STMBDZ216_02688_SEQ_05","You find Hansaku, who is cowering under the gaze of his quarry. As the soaring shark moves to attack, you step in and put an end to it. Taking its fins, you then turn to help Hansaku, who appears to be extremely shaken by this encounter."

7,"TEXT_STMBDZ216_02688_SEQ_07","You hand the fins to Tsukikage, who now has everything he needs. It seems all that is left for him to do is deliver the goods and receive payment. Having been banned from Kugane, however, it remains to be seen how exactly he intends to do just that..."

76,"TEXT_STMBDZ216_02688_TSUKIKAGE_000_041","...An interesting notion has just struck me. Mayhap the reason our dear Hansaku is so enthusiastic about procuring items is because he is attempting to avoid something─or rather, someone."

78,"TEXT_STMBDZ216_02688_TSUKIKAGE_000_043","Indeed. He has been rather skittish of late, and it would explain why he did not escort <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> to us when they first met."
79,"TEXT_STMBDZ216_02688_TSUKIKAGE_000_044","Coming face-to-face with your former crew under the best of circumstances can be trying. When you hold a blade to their throat and force them to pay the tithe...well, then you become a marked man for life."

83,"TEXT_STMBDZ216_02688_TSUKIKAGE_000_047","Hm. I wonder what has gotten into Suzume. Whatever Hansaku's past, he is a Confederate now. Besides, we tied stones around his ex-crewmates' necks and threw them into the sea. I see no reason for her to be so upset."
84,"TEXT_STMBDZ216_02688_TSUKIKAGE_000_048","<sigh> I suppose that is a mystery best solved later. <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>, please do me a favor and go check on Hansaku for me, will you?"

89,"TEXT_STMBDZ216_02688_HANSAKU_000_062","Well, I suppose all that matters in the end is that we obtained the fins. I shall return to headquarters and inform the others. I'll meet you back there."

91,"TEXT_STMBDZ216_02688_HANSAKU_000_069","I was the only one who came back empty-handed and it certainly has not left a good impression on the chief, much less Suzume. Hurry and deliver the fins to them, please. I cannot stand their disappointed stares for a moment longer!"
92,"TEXT_STMBDZ216_02688_TSUKIKAGE_000_070","I am glad you made it back. Hansaku told us everything. Thank you, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. It seems my fears were warranted."
93,"TEXT_STMBDZ216_02688_TSUKIKAGE_000_071","These fins─they are all in near-perfect condition. They will no doubt surpass even Mistress Kikimo's high expectations."

How did the meeting with Mistress Kikimo go? Now, let us see. On the side, she would have us procure the shell of a decade-old turtle, teardrop pearls, and soaring shark fins.
70 66 TEXT_STMBDZ216_02688_TSUKIKAGE_000_031 69 TEXT_STMBDZ216_02688_SUZUME_000_034 According to this contract, she has agreed to all of our terms regarding the loot and has even offered us an opportunity to earn extra coin. Hm. All of these are expensive commodities that cannot be obtained in Kugane─or anywhere outside of the Ruby Sea, for that matter. Hahaha! Mistress Kikimo certainly knows how to play her cards.
71 67 TEXT_STMBDZ216_02688_TSUKIKAGE_000_032 70 TEXT_STMBDZ216_02688_HANSAKU_000_035 This, my friend, is what I call a job well done. Chief, I'll go and get them for you!
72 68 TEXT_STMBDZ216_02688_TSUKIKAGE_000_033 71 TEXT_STMBDZ216_02688_TSUKIKAGE_000_036 Now, let us see. On the side, she would have us procure the shell of a decade-old turtle, teardrop pearls, and soaring shark fins. A very generous offer, Hansaku, but sending you to search for everything alone will take far too much time. Let us divide the work. You can retrieve the soaring shark fins, I will find the turtle shell, and Suzume, you secure the teardrop pearls.
73 69 TEXT_STMBDZ216_02688_SUZUME_000_034 72 TEXT_STMBDZ216_02688_HANSAKU_000_037 Hm. All of these are expensive commodities that cannot be obtained in Kugane─or anywhere outside of the Ruby Sea, for that matter. Hahaha! Mistress Kikimo certainly knows how to play her cards. Understood! I shall make for Shoal Rock right away!
74 70 TEXT_STMBDZ216_02688_HANSAKU_000_035 73 TEXT_STMBDZ216_02688_SUZUME_000_038 Chief, I'll go and get them for you! <sigh> There he goes again. He ran off without even bothering to confirm how many fins we would have him bring back. The man is completely incompetent!
75 71 TEXT_STMBDZ216_02688_TSUKIKAGE_000_036 74 TEXT_STMBDZ216_02688_TSUKIKAGE_000_039 A very generous offer, Hansaku, but sending you to search for everything alone will take far too much time. Let us divide the work. You can retrieve the soaring shark fins, I will find the turtle shell, and Suzume, you secure the teardrop pearls. There is no need to be so hard on him, Suzume. While perhaps a touch overzealous, he is simply looking to prove his worth to us. It is only natural, seeing as he narrowly escaped death at the hands of his former shipmates.
76 72 TEXT_STMBDZ216_02688_HANSAKU_000_037 75 TEXT_STMBDZ216_02688_SUZUME_000_040 Understood! I shall make for Shoal Rock right away! Each and every one of us here comes from a similarly difficult past. I do not see why we should treat him any different.
77 73 TEXT_STMBDZ216_02688_SUZUME_000_038 76 TEXT_STMBDZ216_02688_TSUKIKAGE_000_041 <sigh> There he goes again. He ran off without even bothering to confirm how many fins we would have him bring back. The man is completely incompetent! ...An interesting notion has just struck me. Mayhap the reason our dear Hansaku is so enthusiastic about procuring items is because he is attempting to avoid something─or rather, someone.
78 74 TEXT_STMBDZ216_02688_TSUKIKAGE_000_039 77 TEXT_STMBDZ216_02688_SUZUME_000_042 There is no need to be so hard on him, Suzume. While perhaps a touch overzealous, he is simply looking to prove his worth to us. It is only natural, seeing as he narrowly escaped death at the hands of his former shipmates. ...You mean to imply that the fake merchants were members of his former crew!?

I do not see why we should treat him any different. Indeed. He has been rather skittish of late, and it would explain why he did not escort Player to us when they first met.

Mayhap the reason our dear Hansaku is so enthusiastic about procuring items is because he is attempting to avoid something─or rather, someone. Coming face-to-face with your former crew under the best of circumstances can be trying. When you hold a blade to their throat and force them to pay the tithe...well, then you become a marked man for life.

I am simply disgusted that one of our very own, however insignificant to our organization they might be, has had dealings with such vulgar men. I...I must be going now if I am to gather our teardrop pearls.

Whatever Hansaku's past, he is a Confederate now. Besides, we tied stones around his ex-crewmates' necks and threw them into the sea. I see no reason for her to be so upset.
