SETTING ENGAGAMENT

Protection payments to the Lotus Family during black outs [link]

Daigo will find that the Lotus Family appears to be the least hostile towards the Gembonded. In fact, they've done quite a bit of "business" with Red and allowing usually off-limits items to be placed in Gembonded hands. While not everyone in the Lotus Family agrees with the decisions of their head — Sumire Hasumichi — she has her reasons for her investment in the off-worlders.

Although he hasn't troubled them yet, Hasumichi has been keeping an eye on Daigo and his budding enterprises in the Ruby Underground. She is more than happy to accept his gifts, invitations to drinks (only tea for her, of course — she is a lady), and seems content to discuss the latest news and gossip circulating among the families.

The recent word is that one of the criminal families staunchly against the Gembonded has been planning to work against Red's efforts to aid them. While Red is a neutral party who doesn't discriminate where their Currents come from, not everyone sees it that way. One of their own is going to be running for office, of all things, to try and gain a foothold in the government and be a man on the inside. Although his campaign on the surface will be about giving power back to the native gems, in reality, he just wants power for his own.
