Banzai stared out in the stars of Kyushu, from the halls of battleship Nagumo. His day was just beginning, but sleep nor his coffee made him any less tired. Shoju entered his room, seemingly just as exhausted as he.
"Another day fighting the small folk, eh Banzai?"
"I suppose so, "he said," the damn foreigners are getting more bold with every passing cargo scan."
Shoju and Banzai had been wingmen in the Kusari Naval Forces of Nippon, assigned to scanning and levying all foreign entities that pass through Kusari. With the allowance of Outcasts moving through Kusari with Cardamine, had many smugglers believing they had a free way through kusari if they carried it as well. It was our job to insure that those who carry cargo are levied and those who carry cardamine and are not Outcasts are either removed or destroyed.
Shoju and Banzai finished their coffee, and made their way to the bar.
Upon their arrival, another few officers were throwing some gossip around.
"Did you hear?" one officer said, "some guy from the IMG is on a crusade in tau 23 to stop all cardamine trade from getting into the houses."
Shoju and Banzai looked at each other.
"this may be a small opportunity of paying our friends back," Shoju said, "a sort of a good deed to go out there and find that guy, and put an end to him."
Banzai had been thinking the same thing.
"Tell you what mate. Were both dead dog tired from the rounds we've been making this week. We both need some sleep. We find this guy, and we kill him. I think that will give us some R & R time"
Shoju smiled, getting tired of guard duty himself, agreed.
"This guy wants to start up a cardamine war," Shoju said, "lets give him a war of his own."
The two gave a pump to the arm and a pat on the back, and set out to the landing deck.
