To the attention of the Riptide PMC CEO Koizumi Saburo and Marquess Shimamori of the Shimamori Clan.

Bureaucratic hurdles and ministerial disputes prevented the Empire from contracting your company on a larger scale than regular bounty hunting tasks.

The Imperial Kusari Naval Intelligence settled to disregard political concerns and take the initiative where none has been for too long. We will not dive into details until we received confirmation of interest from your side, but we shall disclose that the contract the IKNI can offer you is of covert nature and may include details the Empire would not publicly sponsor. Your company will work directly for the IKNI and not report to the relevant Ministries or other legal institutions of the Empire. Solely the Office of Intelligence and the Imperial Naval Forces would be made aware of a contracts existence to ensure you the ability to fulfill your duty without hindrance or interference.

We anticipate your reply.

In service of the Imperial Kusari Naval Intelligence,
Goryō
