To Liberty from the Kusari.Consulate:

[Ophiuchi]

To: Chief Williams, LPI
cc: Jay Simon Esq., IND, Newark Station
from: Bo Sun Gen, Imperial Consulate to Liberty

Venerable Willams-san,

While we have every confidence in Liberty's Military and Police, we find it most disturbing that a diplomatic channel was so easily hacked by one of Liberty's enemies, and our Consulate threatened before it even reaches the safety of Manhattan orbit. For that reason, we must respectfully insist upon the complement of Disinfector turrets currently used for the Consulate's defense, or we will withdraw our request for Consular Rights.

Now, that said, while the Emperor disapproves of "usury", he has graciously offerred to make a donation to your Widows and Orphans fund.. They may need warm blankets for the winter.

Should our Consular Rights be granted pursuant to the above terms, we will be accepting the offer of the Inscrutable but Mellow Simon-san for our mooring location. He seems a bit less contentious in tone, if you will pardon my bluntness.

The Kusari.Consulate will hold position in New Tokyo until we hear from you.

Humbly,
Bo Sun Gen, Consul General
