Lady Hakkera.

Unsurprisingly, the circumstances surrounding Lord Protector Mitsuo-sama's tragic actions led to a surge in private security interests of our nobility. Few have reached out to us so far, understandably so as some may suspect our ranks to be still compromised with the Lord Protector's most loyal.

A loyal supporter of his viewpoints speaks to you right now and I wish to reassure you that next to the IKN-Haruna's crew, none of us intent to take up arms against the Kusari he believed into until the point of no return. His actions were misguided, his judgement clouded by something we are yet to understand. His loyalty to the Empire was second to none however and we'll carry on in a fashion befitting the trust built between our nations armed forces and its people as envisioned by the late Lord Protector and Admiral.

We are facing grim times, internal strives and one plot of our foreign adversaries following the next. Your security interests are more than justified and we'll see to arrange something. There are a handful of Ashikaga-class Gunboats kept in operational shape for service with the Keiretsu, repurposing and relocating one of these vessels to fulfill your request is a simple matter. Outfitting your personal retinue of snubcrafts with standard armanents is a matter as simple as you or your staff heading for the IKN-Sado and telling the local Quartermaster that Admiral Akenobu wishes to see "all your equipment related wishes" fulfilled.

If you have further security related concerns, please inform us.
