Konnichiwa Girudomasutā Katsuo,

Sore wa seishiki ni anata ni aete yorokobidesu. Douzo yoroshiku.

I can understand your hesitancy and mistrust. It is not at all misplaced as evidenced by our former relationship. I say “former” in this context with the hopes that we may forge a new one.

Your response is most generous, and we would be honored to meet with you to discuss how we may work together. We would have to insist, however, on a face to face meeting as simple transmission “discussion,” if you will, does little justice to the alliance we hope to begin. With your blessing, I along with a representative party of Judges will come to Okinawa, Honshu, or Sigma-13 at a location and time of your choosing, hopefully within the next week if it would be convenient.

As a minimal gesture given your last transmission, we would be more than willing to give up all inquiry into GMG weaponry and ship technology.

The Judicial Order eagerly awaits your response.

Judge Jackson
