Madame Bellerose,

The problem with taking a military class vessel into Kusari space is the fact that it's a military class vessel. While gunboats aren't a major threat, our...friends would think otherwise. It would take days of diplomatic chatter to allow our most prominent transport company to even use gunboat escorts.

With tensions just thinning out between the Kusari Republic and this Kingdom. It would be best to avoid anything that would break what I would declare a shaky relationship.

However, I will plan a visit to Kusari to open the possible discussion of allowing your company to use these vessels in Kusari house space as escorts.

Once I get over their disappointment of the last time I've visited.

Yours Truly,
Joseph DeFrance
