Konnichiwa, honorable Gas Miners Guild. It has been quite a while since we've had any kind of formal talks between our two peoples. I regret this fact. I believe we should further solidify the alliance we have between one another.

Kishiro Technologies requests the usage of your ships, and in return any ships that we produce or materials that we can bring you we would gladly send to your bases to aid your people. We at Kishiro miss the open-door policy with the Gas Miners guild and it is with great sorrow that we had to stop it for a temporary time. We believe it is time to re-open this door, even with your recent conflicts with Kusari, as we view you as friends in a place where that word has seemingly lost its meaning.

We are eager to hear from you.

Signed
Togo Heihachiro

SENDER: GMG OFFICE OF TRADE

Our Trade CEO Azuki Tamagochi offers her apologies for not being able to respond herself. She is still imprisoned on Fuchu, charged with the crime of belonging to the Gas Miners Guild. And she is still waiting for her Kishiro lawyer to present himself.

The Guild has wondered for some time if there was any friendship still to be had in Kusari. Your government seems determined to provoke the GMG at every conceivable turn, whilst Kishiro remains silent.

The perception is that Kishiro, as a corporate entity, is weak. Kishiro seems unable to impress the importance of Kusari's main fuel supply for their war efforts, allowing Samura and the Kusari government to make spurious claims about its 'abundant' fuel reserves.

If Kishiro is to be strong again, then it needs to protect itself from the slings and arrows of its enemies - both political and by means of force. To this end, the GMG is willing to grant Kishiro Technologies free and open access to our full range of ships and equipment.

In Kusari, where the odds are stacked against our Kishiro brethren, there are few advantages to being Kishiro. Sharing the Guild's technology is one of them.

The only thing we expect in return is open dialogue, and your word that Kishiro is genuine in its desire to explore our alliance.
