Doctor Hans von Goeben.

Consider me impressed. From everything I could gather about your person, I would have expected a passive yet begrudged acceptance of the circumstances from you. But surely not a show off of some fangs and decent reasoning. You are starting to be even more interesting than before and I will honor this interest with a brief act of transparency: Your verdict was written by me as authorized representative of the Imperial Shogun, in absentee of the accused. I will refrain from handing in our side of the facts to any court for the duration of our deal. Should you refuse a final attempt of reaching a deal or otherwise prove incompetent to deliver, I will reserve the right to hand in all material to the relevant institutions. For as long as the deal is honored, only you, Captain Seito and me will be aware of this incident.

If you had bowed to the repressive deal offered, you would have disappointed me but I would not have complained. You are wise enough to know when to keep your lips sealed and when to open them. A talent strangely rare these days. I will alter the deal accordingly. An oath bound Doctor breaking his oath is too close to the alternative of death after all, right?

For the purpose of our arrangement, Doctor Hans von Goeben will:

• Disclose the details of his relationship to 'Sanae Miyasu' and reveal what he can remember regarding her past.
  
  
• Utilize his neutrality as a Doctor to inform us about size and intensity of skirmishes in regions across Sirius, upon request. You will be forwarded a detailed area of interest list at a later time.
  
  
• Forward any sightings of Order vessels outside of the Omicron cluster to us.
  
  
• Accept that my assets will keep an eye out for him wherever and whenever it is deemed necessary. They will be discreet and not interfere with your occupation as Doctor. We usually have better things to do than to stalk a Doctor, but just in case.
  
  
• Further accept that any actions, which could be interpreted as violation of Kusari's Interstellar Codex will result in the deal being terminated and a warrant issued.
  

In service of Kusari,
Goryō
