Honored Golden Chrysanthemums,

I am Lieutenant Colonel Hawkins, contacting you on behalf of Section 8, a constituent cell of The Order. Should you not already be aware, we represent a paramilitary and intelligence organization based out of the Edge Worlds with the aim of identifying, containing, and eliminating non-human influence across Sirius. In this, we have for several decades been close partners with your allies in Chugoku, the Blood Dragons.

As I am sure you are aware, tensions between your home, Kusari, and Liberty are at an all time high, with unprecedented military build up along their shared border. Allegedly, this is due to disagreements over ownership and exploitation rights of resources discovered in the Galileo system. Section 8, however, has reason to believe that this conflict is being orchestrated by non-human actors engaged in destabilizing activities behind the scenes, such as the recently foiled terrorist attack on Deshima Station.

I am therefore reaching out to you with the request to permit Section 8 operatives and vessels to operate out of Morioka Base in Shikoku, so that we might observe and assess the situation and any potential non-human activities influencing the increasing tensions between Kusari and Liberty. Its proximity to the Liberty-Kusari border makes your station in southern Shikoku the ideal forward base of operations for this purpose.

I look forward to a positive reply.

In service to humanity,
Hawkins
