Laz Public Network Notice to Lazarus

To: Lazarus Corporation
From: Star Army Command

Your corporation is hereby evicted from the Yamatai Star Empire. You have one week to evacuate all Lazarus assets in and around the Yamatai Star Empire, beginning now. After that time, any such assets will be seized or destroyed by the Star Army of Yamatai.

Signed,

Ketsurui Yui

From: Lazarus Consortium

Ketsurui Yui,

We are deeply disappointed and hope at some point you find it in your heart to see past mere national boundaries or sovereignties, things conceived only in the minds of children frightened by what they do not understand:

We are not anchored or invested in any single individual nation. We are not of a single race. We are spread throughout known space and operate with anonymity.

In further clarification: We are not a corporation: As such, we exercise our legal rights:

4.5. Non-military non-citizens will not be singled out by race or political belief, unless the Empire has initiated a total war against that person’s government AND civilian population, IE: Mishhu. However, proper security measures can be taken as the situation demands.

~ Laws of the Yamatai Star Empire

In the event you do not wish to grant us legal counsel, such a relocation would require one month and could not be feasibly completed within a week. Having presented notice of such, we feel if you do choose to react inappropriately, you will do so in 'good taste' and give us the time we need.

It is laughable, that we are accosted for our 'associations' with the Lorath whom we inherited our origins and technological lineage.

In further comedy, we have been bidding for the contract to become the primary supplier of combined-field-systems for the StarArmy of Yamatai.

Regardless of what happens, we at the Lazarus Consortium earnestly wish you, Ketsurui Yui, the very best in the future and hope you see past this simple misunderstanding.

That passage does not apply. Lazarus is a rogue group that works extra-nationally so it can avoid the law. You sell your wares and weapons without care of where they go and who they harm. The Lorath have encroached on Yamatai's space and you are based there so we want nothing to do with you. There will be no extension of time. Begone from our space, or face my sword!

Always with the sword. Your green verbiage harks of piracy, dear Yui.
Calm yourself: We know you to be better than this.

'Extra-nationality' is not mutually exclusive from non-citizen; ergo the law still applies in Yamataian court. Where we are based in space has no consequence on our operations; If you wish to discuss terms of trade negotiation to prevent such folly trade, we are listening with open and willing ears.


We look forward to hearing from you, as always.

A figure laid slumped, bathed in the low light of a monitor, the neophyte's glasses lit by its red glare. Loud music washed through muted earphones, daggered teeth chewing thoughtfully on the back of a pencil. Carefully behind those lenses, her eyes skimmed the public network for posts. A thumb eased her glasses back up her pale nose as she the reply she'd waited almost an hour for finally arrived - an almost malicious smile spreading across her black lips.

Her fingers hammered the keys with fever. Almost an hour in, in complete mid-stride, a voice called from elsewhere, halting her progress. Pale fingertips plucked earphones free as she listened for the second calling.

"Aiesu!"

She wrinkled her nose. That wasn't the name she was used to going by.

"Yeah, dad?"

"Dinner's ready. Have you finished your studies?"

"Just a minute!" she shouted back, pursing her lips inwards in excitement between her teeth. A one-to-one with the highest figure on Yamatai? Her heart doing lightyears a minute. Naturally, she was excited and had to finnish this message. To not do so would he disrespect of the highest order!

In order for us to even consider the law as applying to you, you need to declare a national affiliation. If you are Lorath, you must leave YSE space. If you want to be Yamataian, you must follow Yamataian laws. Specifically, we do not want restricted military technologies sold to anti-Yamatai terrorist groups or to Lor.

I invite you to choose your side.

While we could theoretically hold this to a vote, the result could only be a splitting of the breast.

At this time, we are deliberating.

The prediction was correct: Elements within the consortium are unable to come to an agreement.

As such, we have opted to enter bifurcation.

From: Lagrange Foundation

Bifurcation of the Lazarus Consortium is complete:

Of 400 employees...

176 Members (mostly Yamataian) opted to form the Lagrange Foundation
244 Members chose to remain the Lazarus Consortium

We, the newly formed Lagrange Foundation wish to enter discussions and bidding for military contracts.
We will also comply with Yamataian trade agreement and self-identify as a separate entity from the Lazarus Consortium.
