To: Guildmasters of the GMG

[Friday]

Utilising her neural-net access, Azuki prepares a press release to be sent to the local and international news carriers. Of course the message would be vetted by KSP officials, but Azuki did not expect it to be controversial.


"I am Azuki Tamagochi, a guest of the Kusari State Police on Planet Honshu. I and numerous Guild Citizens remain interred here for the crime of belonging to the Gas Miner's Guild. The circumstances leading to the current blockade have lost their relevance, as the economic impact of this conflict is now hurting both our peoples."

Azuki used a separate channel to request the KSP open an invitation for GMG diplomats to come to Honshu. If the Treaty proposal was considered classified when it came into Azuki's hands, then she would need to speak to diplomats from both sides in person.

"As a former Guild Master of the GMG, I urge the Kusari and GMG governments to come to Honshu and begin the process of formal reconciliation. The long-term economic impacts and stability of the region depend on a rational approach to any talks."

Azuki also sent a transmission to the new Kishiro management team. She has read the news about the change in leadership, and was hopeful that Kishiro would be able to take a more proactive stance to the peace process.

"Peace should be foremost on the minds of every concerned person. We owe it to our people's to grant them their wish for peace, and the prosperity that flows from it."
