"Greetings". This_Unit is known as the Anomaly. "I" would like to receive the authorisation to send a probe into the Honshu_System in order to purchase an T-833-GB "Ahoudori" Kusari Explorer for tests on the adaptation of this shipclass to active Consensus_service. This_Unit would "like" to enquire about possible costs of this operation, as well as the costs of purchasing the ship.
Moreover, due to hostilities with the GMG, This_Unit would "like" to obtain the KNF's "protection" for the travel of the probe, as well as the return trip. The_gunboat will not carry weapons on its trip back; only the probe will be armed with standard Drone-class weaponry. This_Unit also enquires about possible modifications which could be made to the gunboat. These modifications include passenger compartments (all except one) to be turned into additional fuel tanks, as well as total removal of manual flight controls, to be replaced by 53 sirius-standard HDMY-37 cable ports, to allow for connection of an AI core.
That is all.
"Thank you"

"Greetings", Mr. Moshizuki. This_Unit recieved your message, and understood all the implications. The vessel has been purchased, and the tests are under way. No hostilities broke out with any ship during the trip. If the test results are positive, "we" may purchase more. However, it has been noted that no representative of Kishiro Technologies have contacted us. "We" wish to enquire if all is well with them. That is all. Thank you.
