People of Sirius:

While the Emperor of Kusari and the Kusari Naval forces do not condone the methods used by the Nayehiya Tribes to meet the needs of their people on a regular basis; we do sympathize with their current distressful plight. It could have been any of our Houses which were contaminated by this dreadful virus. We will not speculate as to whether this was an unfortunate accident, or a concealed attack against the Nayehiyans. It does not matter. They are and need, and have asked for assistance.

By order of the Emperor of Kusari, God of the Rising Sun, all KNT vessels are directed to carry at least 10% of their cargo capacity at all times in basic foods, consumer goods, and pharmaceuticals for humanitarian purposes until this crisis is over. These relief supplies shall be given freely to any Nayehiya ship requesting it. If this virus spreads, other clans may also be designated as recipients. Give it willingly and without cost to the Nayehiya people.

WWIC Bo Sun Gen is also directed to make an immediate full shipment of relief supplies to Ames Station, as requested by the Nayehiya. The Yuuzai Maru is ordered to acquire and set sail with the load within the next two hours.

We hope that this decision does not disturb our friends and neigbors throughout the Sector. It is a temporary measure done only out of compassion for a suffering people. We would do the same for anyone in similar straits.

To the Principal Chief of the Nayehiya. We are aware that your people have a rich tradition of "gifting" other tribes and races as a matter of honor. Please rest assured that Kusari's gift in return for these supplies will simply be the knowledge that we have done what little we could to keep your people from suffering. We expect nothing else in return.

For the Emperor,
Chijin, Taisho, KNF
