>>33574815>I still stand by my point the VIP can be transferred as while you are their friends, we are not pirates or hostiles to them. We will make sure they get the best treatment possibleThe issue is that Hoshiyomi is an ally to neither Moriji, /risu/, nor even /uuu/, it is a complete third party to this whole operation. Giving complete control over the strategic asset to such a third party is not a risk that Moriji is willing to make. We'll want to retain at least some supervision over it. Here is a further concession: upon entering an arbitrary boundary decided by Hoshiyomia, most Black Fleet vessels will turn around, and only one corvette will continue escorting the Risuner, while the majority of the protection is provided by the Hoshiyomi escort among others.
