Mr. Thastus,

The Kusari are willing to negotiate. We would indeed enjoy opening diplomatic dialogues to within a neutral territory of our mutual assent. I do not wish to force you to come to Kusari Space, albeit that would be safest for you. Nonetheless, please inform me as to where you wish to meet, and we will work something out.

Further, I wish to state that any agreement reached would not necessarily be an alliance. We will strive for that, but Kusari and the Southern Alliance have reached a moment of mutual trust and friendship; we would not care to upset the delicate balance of politics.

Finally, we do not wish to fight Liberty. Indeed, Liberty has always been helpful towards us, giving us a safe haven at times of uncertainty. Still, these are things best discussed in person.

Please contact me with a site, and we will work something out. Thank you.

Yours,
Madam Fiona H. deLuna
Ambassador of the Kusari Naval Forces
