Honored Secretary,

I am Yasu Ike, Quality Assurance representative of Ionic Incorporated. We are of course most pleased to receive such a high-profile order and contract.

There will be no political concerns from our side in this matter, the specifications of the Amaterasu-class are unique to it and neither Ionic nor our parent company has seen fit to attempt to compete with Samura's creation. We will treat the matter as it is required, as a high priority state security measure without any competitive games in the background.
I will admit that I allow myself some amusement at the prospect of shrouding an official state vessel of such prestige and deliberate presence in the invisibility cloak, but I understand state business can require discretion.

For the practical execution, we produce cloaking field generators of sufficient capacity to cover a vessel of this size and mass. Such devices however must be carefully programmed to the exact specifications of the vessel in question, however. Unless it is a mass-produced completely standardized craft within very precise tolerances, it will require fine-tuning. Obviously this is not the case with a one-of-a-kind capitol vessel, which I assume is why you are also requesting personnel assistance.

The configuration of the device will require access to some of what Samura might consider sensitive intellectual property schematics in regards to the vessel's exact construction. How this information is used between the three parties of constructor, user, and modifier, may bring up some difficulties, but these are difficulties I am sure you have anticipated.

To summarize a long message: We can send such a device, with trained personnel, to Kure. We can configure it for functionality with the vessel, as long as access is given to certain technical data.
And naturally, we look forward to the hyperspace testing of the same vessel.

Yasu Ike
