A Message to the Chrysanthemums and Dragons

[Thexare]

To: [GC]*, Kiretsu*, ]bd[*

I represent a band of wanderers who do what they must to survive. Until we establish a more secured channel, I'm sure you can understand why I'm not saying more. I am sending this message from a Zoner station in the Independent Worlds.

For a name... Escher will serve.

I would like to meet a representative of each of your groups in person to discuss business and cooperation. If that is not possible, then a secured communication channel will suffice.

Konnichiwa Escher-san, my name is Sei Osugi. I'm not sure what exactly you wish to achieve by speaking with us but you've caught my attention. If you wish, there are several places we can meet, though the station you are on is probably most suitable. Please respond to this CommID if you wish to meet or simply speak again over secure comms. This patch goes directly to my ship as well; in case I am on patrol.

The Chrysanthemums do not work with just anyone but it warms me that there are those who would offer.

Sei Osugi, out.

Excellent. The station I am on now is probably the best choice short of deep space.

As for why we want to help... It will make sense, I believe, when I say we have a mutual friend on the fringes of Sirius.

*Laughing* Konnichiwa again Escher-san, you've yet to make contact with my ship or provide a time and station. I will keep this channel open until I hear back however.
