Ah, yes. I've heard that your Inferno supplier is... unavailable. To be entirely honest, we don't know where he went either. It's probably not worth sending Mirage to try and find out, though.

I think Tiana would be too tempted to kill him.

I've discussed weaponry with Captain Ishida at length recently, and he has told me some interesting things about Hacker weapons - they're very similar to our Wyrms. However, Wyrms would be far more reliable in combat, and your technicians should find them far easier to repair than Krakens since they've already dealt with tachyon weapons.

I will make arrangements for Wyrms and Krakens to be available to you - but fewer Krakens than Wyrms. I recommend restricting the Kraken particle cannons to your higher-ranking members, to save your mechanics some trouble - and so you don't have to keep sending them back to us whenever a Liberty cruiser attacks you.

As for what we ask in return... when something comes up, we will make our request. For now, consider your increased shipments and continued support against our enemies sufficient.

End of transmission.
