Konbanwa, Kijima-san,

At the very beginning this was my intention: to rebuild Augus as a strong, self-sufficent and quite... selfish clan, to be said, trying to be as independent from outstanding conditions as possible. But, at this point it comes obvious to me that with such attitude we're not going to go far, and the benefit of my Clan is what concernes me in the first place.
However, we are accepting the listed conditions, however, consider including one exclusion into this: any unathorised vessel, except for logistical vessels and it's escorts are not allowed to appear in Kofu Dust Cloud without special clearance given through direct communication sent to me to get such clearance granted. This rule will either stand for your Clan ships and for your allies alike, Augus is protecting it's secrets. If they are found within the designated perimeter - will be asked to leave and shot on sight if they refuse to comply. The only exception will be done if they are bypassing to the Tohoku jumphole located within the nebula.

I am looking forward to your response, Kijima-san, and i hope the said security measures are... not too harsh in your opinion.

Thinking beyond thought, being of non-being,
Certainty without reason and vision beyond seeing.
Everything and nothing, both infinite and finite.
