Konnichiwa Admiral Hijikata-san.
I'am Commander Kako Shimakaze of the GMG para-military force. I believe you should remember me...I was the one that was talking to you and your forces in Okinawa. Now after reviewing over the Treaty of Aomori I found that it contradicts what you said to me. ( Aomori Treaty ) . You said that KNF forces could enter GMG space to hunt down an enemy vessel but the treaty says differently. If you take a look at rule 2.5 of the treaty it states that KNF forces can only hunt a enemy vessel fleeing into GMG space from Kusari space. GMG and Kusari has had a long beneficial relationship with each other and I hope that it will stay this way for years to come. Now since this has not happened before we do not want punishment or anything of the sort. All that GMG wants from Kusari Forces is that they respect and remembers where GMG sovereign space begins. Sayonara!

Konnichiwa Shimakaze-san.

Hai, we recieved trasmission from independant samura captain that outcast destroyer
almost destroyed him in the middle of lane from honshu gate to gas miner in sigma-13.
Unfortunatelly by article 2.1 we have no GMG present to offer our assistance and moved in,
since that cruiser posed a threat to ships that were coming from and to Kusari.
Using network of jumpholes and jumpgates he managed through sigma 17 and sigma 19
reach okinawa and in sector e3 due to interference caused by ion storm we lost it.

In any case, if our help is not welcome in GMG space, next time we will just chase hostile vessel away
from trade lane and will leave it there, not follow him deeper into GMG space.
You must understand if we woudn't chase him away, we would have to redirect all traffic which is not acceptable.

On the other hand, to prevent such situation from happening again we would like to discuss possible solutions.
Sayonara

Konnichiwa Hijikata-sama!

I am Guild Master Taro Katsuo, and I will speak on behalf of the Guild in the continuation of this matter.

The Gas Miners Guild have in good faith followed the letter of the Treaty of Aomori, and we've been doing so even after that the Samura-loving-Emperor, may he remain in exile, declared the Treaty to be null and void due to the Kurile Incident. Nullified unjustly, I will add.

Though I feel obligated to admit that I've never been a supporter of the Treaty of Aomori, I have always respected the majority decision of my fellow Guild Masters to sign the Treaty, and thus followed it to the letter.

As you can imagine, we are a little skeptical when it comes to KNF vessels operating in GMG space, and even more so when doing it outside the written articles of the old nullified Treaty. In addition to Commander Shimakaze's own detailed description of the Treaty, the article I'll be referring follows:

2.3 Patrols. The GMG has unrestricted patrol rights within the 7.0k radius of Aomori in Honshu. The GMG has restricted patrol beyond this region to the edge of the Chuyu Cloud. Restricted patrols must act in compliance with Article 2.2 and must respond properly when hailed by the local KNF/KSP authority. With this singular exception, neither entity patrols the others' territory.

I highlighted the last part that I feel is relevant to this matter.

But it is indeed pointless to argue over a nullified Treaty being violated, no matter the circumstances. For the sake of our relations we'll consider this not as a violation, but rather a confirmation that the Treaty of Aomori, with all that it was, no longer to be in effect.

With that put behind us we can do as you're proposing, concentrate on finding possible solutions that will please both the GMG and the Kusari Republic. As it may be, I've heard that there are currently ongoing talks between the Houses of Kusari, Rheinland and Gallia all happening in New Tokyo. Know that the GMG are always looking to better our foreign relations, especially with neighboring Houses such as the Republics of Kusari and Rheinland.


Guild Master Taro Katsuo,
Sayonara!

Guild Master Taro Katsuo, I am afraid that Kaishō Hijikata is otherwise engaged with classified operations. For your consideration in these matters, arigatou.

As you say, this incident highlights the need for a new agreement between the Republic and the Gas Miners Guild. I have passed on your recommendation to the relevant government officials, who I believe are eager to include your guild. I hope that a resolution can be reached in those talks.

I would stress that we are duty-bound to protect Kusari citizens and to fight criminality threatening Kusari sovereignty.
May your way be clear,

[color=#FFFFFF]Bakuryō-chō taru Kaishō Takahashi,
Kusari Naval Forces.

Re: Formal Invitation

Konnichiwa and Good Morning Guild Master Katsuo,

I would like to express my deepest regret at the latest incidents between your Paramilitary forces, and elements of Kusari law enforcement.

I would like to extend a cordial invitation to representatives of the GMG to attend talks being held on New Tokyo at this time.

There we can discuss the matters raised here with the Kaigun, both in spirit of any agreements, as well as their wording.

You will also have the opportunity to meet with representatives of other nations, including Kusari's newest trading partner, the Kingdom of Gallia.

I look forward to meeting either yourself, or your representative in the near future.

Shimura Yokitara
