To: Gateway Shipping Inc.

[Edwin Thunder]

Two days ago, when i was being the commander of the IMG|Sendai transport ship, at Tau 53, i was contacted by a Gateway Shipping Inc. ship. The purpose of that, long range message, was to ask about the the improvement of the relationship between Gateway| and IMG|. It was not a complete surprise, i may say, because Gateway| and IMG| have a, very special, friendly relationship. However, it was necessary to contact the other members of IMG|, in order to give an answer, that is not only my will, but the will of all the Guild members.
I am sending this message from Tau 23, IMG home system, in my mining ship, the IMG|Blue.Star, close to the IMG Java Station. At this system, there are valuable resources of Niobium ore. Those resources can be sold, at Omega 3, that is close to Cambridge System, at Bretonia.
This means that, convoys of Gateway| and IMG| ships, could be made, in order to improve the wealth of both and the wealth of Bretonian people.
Being together, it would be easier to use escort ships, to prevent the piracy, that keeps existing, from Corsairs and Outcasts, for example.
We, at IMG, will be waiting for Gateway proposals and for an answer, to this message from IMG.
I am Paul Smith at IMG| and Gateway Shipping can count on me...

Dear Paul Smith!


Your message has also appeared on my communication system that is why I dare to write an answer. And given that I was entrepreneurial in your work environment at the beginning of my career I felt your call close to me. As is well known, Gateway| and IMG| have built and nurtured a close and deep relationship with each other. Despite recent events and the dark years of war I believe that a common ideology will bring our interests together again.

For my part, I can assure you that I support the joint work. I added your ship callsigns to my "green list". I expect to arrive in Tau-23 in 48 hours. I will be looking for you and for our friends to manage a larger convoy. Our arguments in favor of the convoy are the same. I hope both our team and our leaders will take your call in such a good name and reassure both of us that this is a viable path.


Sincerely,

Kyoko Matsuda,
