Mister Linhardt.

According to the Vice-Minister, no direct negotiations were held between our Ministry and your representatives or AWES whatsoever. It appears our esteemed Minister of Internal Affairs handled a brief proposal issued by AWES representatives about half a year ago. While we are glad to see potential progress on the Roppongi issue, the Ministry must stress that you are acting hastily and by no means in adequate business fashion. We truly appreciate your readiness to relocate your headquarters and commence clean up operations right away, though the Minister and Vice-Minister voiced concerns that no details have been ironed out at all. Further, they consider it a substantial risk to your company to proceed with relocation operations prior to any official agreements.

Hence the Imperial License Directory Office must decline both your requests until we are made aware of a standing contract between your company and the Empire. Please get into contact with our Ministry's esteemed Minister Majima and Vice-Minister Yamakazi immediately.

Sincerely,
Ministry of Economy & Industry,
License Directory Office

Furukawa-san of Ionic Incorporated.

The Ministry wants to congratulate you on the prosperity of your operations so far. We fully understand your concerns, especially the potential financial investments required. The Ministry sees no need to hinder academic progress through additional costs, so no permit fees for the annex facility will be issued. Should Ionic Incorporated require a financial stimuli, both our Ministry and the renowned Shimamori Clan of Honshu offer science subsidy programs with close to no conditions attached.

Sincerely,
Ministry of Economy & Industry,
License Directory Office
