Esteemed Government of Kusari,

I speak on behalf of Aegis Initiative, the largest active subsidiary of the Bounty Hunters Guild. As a result of the successful business conducted by the Guild's members over the past few years, your House included, we have recently purchased a Bustard-class Civilian Light Carrier to serve as the company's new flagship and a staging platform for large-scale operations in the remote areas of the Sirius sector.

While her main domain will be the Border Worlds and the Edge Worlds, on the rare occasion that we have to enter Kusari space, such as towards Deshima Station, we are hereby requesting a carrier license. The callsign of the flagship is: Aegis|CV-Citadel. She is outfitted with a Jump Drive Mk IV and four Docking Modules.

Cordially,

Jessica Yang
Aegis Office of Administration
Chief Administrative Officer

Miss Yang, Aegis Initiative.

A few years back, the Empire had favorable arrangements with your company and you proved to be more reliable than most Bounty Hunters during its time. This was not forgotten and the Ministry directly wishes to communicate a lingering interest to re-establish a more formal contact at a given time.

In a sign of good will, the regular licensing fee of five million credits may be reduced to four million credits, payable to the neural-net account: Anzen-1.
However, a change in Jump Drive regulations requires everyone aiming to possess and operate such devices within Kusari to provide evidence of the vessels jump drive equipment as Kishiro Technologies licensed product.

Whilst other, smaller manufacturers exist, the Empire must stress their unreliability. These copycat designs are featuring major flaws and are prone to catastrophic malfunctions. Should you are operating such a device, we cannot grant you passage and urge you to contact Kishiro Technologies to obtain a properly licensed and functional model. Should the jump drive operated by you be a Kishiro Technologies product, providing us with a simple purchase certificate would suffice fully.

Upon receival of both payment and purchase certification, the Aegis|CV-Citadel will be integrated into our databank.

Sincerely,
Ministry of Economy & Industry,
License Directory Office

Greetings government officials,



Let me introduce myself, Ashton Wood's the name some call me Ash most call me Jackpot because I like to gamble. Some may say that I'm the muscle behind the beast, now on to bussiness. Our lovely Jessica informed that you're requesting 4.000.000 credits for a license, that's a bit excessive coming from the Government who's currently hiring us for a high profile asssination. Not to mention the countless murders I've committed in your name flying the Guilds colors.
Do I need to remind you that the hit your lord protector ordered is still in play? It may take some time as getting close to such targets is no easy task but as you see we've been given clearance to operate in Kusari, the Bustard being our pit stop around the Taus and Kusari is necessary for us to operate smoothly.

Never the less here's what I'm offering :
- Your corporations around the Borderworlds, Sigmas and Taus will get prioritised and escorted by my boys
- Your Naval Forces will get to keep their ships and not humiliate themselves like losing an entire wing to a single Blood Dragon so we'd be prioritised and take care of bussiness in Kusari and around it's borders.
- The Government of Kusari may order up to two high profile assassinations free of charge which will be carried out by me personally and my wing.
- You'll get to enjoy sipping sake knowing your sectors are safer than ever.

All this for a free roaming Bustard, I'm a fair man, this is a fair offer.

Aight, Jackpot out.

Good evening, Mister Wood.

Your unusual decision to provide us with "alternatives" made waves across the Ministry and I have the pleasure to act on behalf of Minister Majima to handle this situation.

First and foremost, he wishes to congratulate your excellent sense for business and quite frankly - so do I. We have heard a few things about the Aegis Initiative here in the Ministry, about all of them of positive nature. Your offer is an excellent opportunity to deepen the business ties between our both sides and underlines your unique standing and farsightedness in comparison to the majority of Bounty Hunters.

I am pleased to tell you that as per special provision of Majima-sama, your counter offer is wholeheartedly accepted by the Empire. The Minister wishes to stress that should Aegis Initiative - and by extension yourself - require something out of the ordinary, they may directly contact him. In addition, he urged me to inform you that we will only require one high profile job to be free of charge, with the second task merely seeing a 20% discount of your standard rates.

In service of Kusari,
Goro Yamakazi
