Good morning, honourable guildmasters. My name is Harold Kane, and I am a freelancer of sorts seeking your permission to contract, purcahse, and fly one Karasu-class heavy fighter. The fighter will not be used for any unlawful activities in your space at all. It will primarily be a diplomatic and exploration vessel.

Or, from another perspective, it's shiny and I want one.

Lemme know whether you're okay with this or not.

Konnichiwa Kane-san!

Apologies for the late reply, Kane-san. I hope you haven't given up on us just yet.
While I cannot sell or give away Guild property on a whim, I can however, lease you one of our Karasu fighters. Though I'll need you to do something for me first.
At our Bounty Board, you can see the details for targets that has been marked by us. To cut it short, I'd like you to annihilate one of our targets. May it be a Corsair, Outcast or other scum, it matters little. If you can do this favour for me, I'll see to it that the next time you visit Fujisawa Mining Facility, there'll be a shiny, although down-tuned Karasu waiting for you at the hanger.
Your kill will serve as payment for the lease. Good hunting.


Guild Master Taro Katsuo,
Sayonara!
