侯爵島森正仁

Dear Aurelia-san,

It is a pleasure to hear from you again.

I hope so far you have managed to avoid any issues with law enforcement. According to Article 1 of Section 4 of Kusari Legal Codex, any stealth modules are considered contraband within the sovereign space of Kusari. I believe the law enforcement agencies are exempt from this limitation. Not being a legislator, I cannot give you clear reasoning for why such a prohibition stands. My guess is that unsanctioned stealth observation can lead to corporate and military espionage, as well as infringe the privacy of the subjects of Kusari. If you are interested in the real reason and not my guess, I suggest you contact the officials to request the interpretation of the said article.

As for your ship, Kusari promotes the freedom of scientific pursuit and inquisition. However, I must warn you that certain research topics remain off-limits, at least without a prior permit. For example, the research of tissues of alien origin within Kusari without the permission of the authorities might get you into trouble. You should also stay clear of Tohoku system which is restricted for safety reasons. But do not be discouraged by such limitations - I am sure most of your scientific endeavours can be legally carried out in the space of the Empire. As a person who recently led an expedition into a new system, I know that research pays off and commend people who make efforts in this direction. If you need any contacts with the local academia, I might know a few scientists on Honshu.

I wish you luck in your research.

Best regards,
Shimamori Masahito
