Greetings, Comrade Setiawan.

I have not heard of Riau Star City before - my congratulations on successfully constructing a space station. It is good to hear that your movement is doing well.

I will pass your invitation to our Chancellor and the rest of our kin. I am glad to hear that our convoys will have a friendly harbour in the remote Taus, and we will send a representative for a visit within the next few weeks. There is an interest within the Assembly in both deepening our economic ties and developing some form of military cooperation.

Your assistance with Connacht is quite welcome. Historically the Mollys have benefited from the IMG's legal status within the Houses and we would not wish to put that legality in jeopardy. I trust you will handle it with all due discretion.

Godspeed,
Matthew Jamie Burns
