Konnichi-wa Mr. Egawa! This is Miles Stuart, CEO of Gateway Shipping Inc. At the behest of the Bretonian Government, I have been appointed as a temporary liaison to the Kusari Republic to help usher in a new Trade Agreement between our nations. They thought this seemed fitting as I have already been in close contact with the head of Kishiro Technologies, and since Gateway has for some time been the only Bretonian-based corporation to enjoy freedom to trade within the Republic.

I will also be working alongside the Bretonian Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, who is currently a bit indisposed. You know how bureaucrats are, I'm sure.

Here are the steps I would suggest as we continue forward with these negotiations:

Step 1. I would suggest that we first have a cross examination of terms for the new Trade Agreement that myself and Kishiro CEO Hiroto Yukimura have put together, and any final objections or changes be brought forward and discussed.

Step 2. Once step one is complete, the Trade Agreement will then need to be ratified by both governments.

Step 3. After step two is done, we can have final signing at a personal meeting of representatives on Planet Curacao in the Cortez system. I can make arrangements with OS&C to accommodate the trade summit. You will love the tea...I assure you.

I look forward to seeing trade more normalized between our nations overall, in the hopes that it will enable us both to throw off the yoke of Gallic oppression and bring freedom and prosperity to all.

Oh yeah....long live the Queen, blah blah, yadda yadda.

-Stuart out.
