-- BROADCASTING MESSAGE -- To the licensing authorities of the Empire of Kusari, hello! I'm Elize Terblanche representing Caledonia Distributions, Limited, a subsidiary of Gateway Shipping. I'm here to submit two separate licensing requests, which I suppose will speak for themselves. Jump Drive Licensing Request Applicant Identification: Caledonia Distributions Ltd Applicant Affiliation: Gateway Shipping Ship Identification: CDL\\GSV-Drakensberg (serial number IND-BRI00028-K834) Ship Class code: "Bulwark" Bristol-Kress Heavy Explorer Jump Drive equipment used: Kishiro Technologies Jump Drive Series II Reason behind the license request: We have a business partnership with Ionic Inc in Shikoku. As a shipping corporation focused almost exclusively on providing premium services, especially including "just-in-time" deliveries such as those frequently required by Ionic Industries, a jump drive allows the Drakensberg to vastly cut down on transit times to maximize flexibility in delivery schedules according to the needs of our partners' businesses. Our current business activities wouldn't actually see the drive activated within Kusari's sovereign space except in case of mortal danger to our employees or their associates (such as that presented by terrorist threats). If our operations change such that there is a compelling business need to regularly use the drive within your sovereign space, we would of course inform you and request an extended permission for this use case. The jump drive in question is manufactured by Ionic Inc and receives regular maintenance checkups at Ionic Laboratories. We also have a contract with the Ionic University of Shikoku allowing graduate students, undergraduate students, and prospective majors in the hyperspatial sciences who are deliberating whether or not to enroll at IU Shikoku to observe the jump drive's function firsthand, and even take readings for their own studies, thus ensuring that our operation of the device continually helps further scientific advancement within Kusari. Base Licensing Request Applicant Identification: Caledonia Distributions Ltd Applicant Affiliation: Gateway Shipping Base Identification: Kanagawa Shipping Platform Base Affiliation: Gateway Shipping Base Location: Honshu — Sector E4, between Planet Honshu and the star. Additional Information: This undertaking represents a partnership with Kusari between us and Ionic Incorporated, as they are intended as the platform's main customers. We also intend to provide resale and local courier services for the entirety of Honshu with this installation, and have already made efforts to fulfill social responsibility obligations toward Kusari's people by proactively seeking to employ farmers and artisan craftspeople displaced by the terrible monsoons on Planet Kyushu as agricultural specialists aboard Kanagawa. It is Caledonia's sincere hope that our earnest dedication to ensuring all our activities within Kusari are to the mutual benefit of all its people, our employees, and our foreign customers and business partners is made apparent by these efforts. We look forward to a productive and friendly relationship with both the Imperial government and the local authorities of the Honshu System. Thank you for your time, and have an excellent day!
