Dear Ryo Kase,

I'm very glad to hear from you and the Crayter Republic again, it has truly been some time, and I had already begun wondering how the current status concerning our joint projects looks like. It's a relief to hear that in general everything seems to work out fine. Especially knowing that the Research Academy is, under your very capable hands, flourishing like it is supposed to be, being a place of exchange of knowledge between our people, fills me with utmost joy.

Mr. Breisacher was kind enough to send me weekly reports about the matters you have been discussing during these conferences, and the possible outcomes. Indeed, this team consists of some of the most expertised Guild members has to offer, which makes me extra proud to hear that they are doing their job as well as I expected. What Breisacher told me indeed seemed highly interesting, especially the mineral trees, if you can call them that way. As he probably already told you, they could very well become an absolutely revolutionary way of extracting ore in the future on any world.

Now let's come to your requests, as they are plenty.

First, concerning the moons of Planet Salina. Before any steps will be undertaken to create mining or storage facilities for the others moons, the Guild wishes to do some closer surveys to ascertain in what quantities a raw materials inventory can be found on those moons. This is to ensure we don't drill at the wrong places where no significant profit can be made. However, what we would like to see are the Republic's specialists joining us on those survey runs, as another way of showing our ability to cooperate with each other. If we should find the amount of ore repositories you are assuming, the IMG will be in no hesitation to proceed with the construction of what you have suggested.

To your second request concerning Singapore, we will make sure to free one whole bay for your vessels to dock with and get repaired. Your service to the IMG during the Gallic invasion will not be forgotten, and as you have done your best to safeguard the station when it needed utmost protection, it's only a fair move to allow you to use it at your disposal to keep your fleets up and running.

This is about it. It was a pleasure hearing from you again. For even more joint collaborations in the future, Mr. Kase.

With best regards,
Liam Byrne
IMG Ambassador
