Admiral, much to my concern, tonight I encountered a Agraira Battle Group tagged [LaneSecurity] in the New Tokyo system. They indicated they were in talks with you concerning permission for them to patrol the trade lanes in Kusari. As Ambassador for the Farmers party as a whole, I must strenuously protest any rights for the Gaijin to patrol Kusari space. Are we not capable of protecting our own interests. My feelings on the trade lane system in Kusari are well know, I believe it has brought nothing but harm to the traditions and well being of the Kusari people, but now in addition to their awful trade lanes, we must accept Gaijin forces to patrol it? Admiral, you are an honorable man of tradition and a great friend of the Farmers, we have fought side by side and have taken causalities for the other. I ask you to take my word into consideration when making your decision.
