Mr McKenzie,

It's the culmination of our previous efforts, the prototype vessel, the advanced Jintsuriki suite.

That is to say, a one-of-a-kind exploration craft is spaceworthy, crewed, licensed, and awaiting departure at our drydocks, ready to collate some of those cartography reports you wish to test the system for - the Infinity.

We have chosen the southern Omegas as our itinerary because of relatively vague reports of newly stabilized jump holes leading to anomalous systems, something you probably know more about than us. It's an area very far from our usual reach and intel, so we have been in contact with the Independent Miners Guild, who are far more familiar with the region, and are willing to support us in the endeavor.

The 66th Joint Expeditionary Division, which Infinity is the lead ship of, has been given preliminary authorization by the Uchugun to engage in shall we say "civilian" exploration under our command, barring national emergency. So, we are by all our calculations ready to go.

Which brings me to my actual point. I'd like to cordially invite yourself, or any of your personnel working at Ionic, to join the expedition on board the Infinity. Both as a token of our longstanding partnership, but also of course because we appreciate your expertise in the field of exploration.
Now I know you might have some reservations about being involved in a task force that ultimately answers to Kusari Ministry of Defense, but Infinity flies Kishiro colors, and this is a civilian expedition under our overall command.

Either way, you can look forward to some hopefully very interesting mapping data, which we will be happy to share and analyze with you.
