[Zahir]

Honorable Farmers Alliance,

I'm one of the wildlife-smuggler hunter of the newly formed Gaian Guard group. I politely ask you to authorize me to buy the guns of your technology, which has earned and proved his valor and fame within your ranks, the glorious Vulture 5. These neutron weapons would be able flawlessly defend the life and punish those senseless downgraded lifeforms, who call them selfs human, but, who also not dare to use the lifeforms for their own selfish profit. This treasure must be protected at all cost and return in a natural environment where can be restored and protected. I hope I can count on your well put belief in the Gaian society.
Furthermore I can guarantee, that those weapons never will be sold out to third person, nor used for research.
My ship is in the hand of your dock master, as my faith in you!

I remain your loyal friend and supporter,
Sergio Barboni

We have some matters to discuss and your request have place in one of the topics.

Good day.

You may or may not know me.
I'm Flora, "chief diplomat" as people tend to call me, and I used to handle the communication between the Gaians and the Alliance when sir Nakata was still in charge, which apparently is not the case anymore.

Your message made me understand you intend to discuss something more than a simple tech exchange.
That makes me curious.
I'm listening.

Greetings,

Sergio Barboni, Hikaru have told me of your interest of our weapons. I will be glad to help our friend when I can, if they promise to help us back when we need it. And I believe now is exact the time. The presense of Kishiro and their hired guns from government army is growing, and our might is not yet enough to face them. We seriously lack of heavy firepower and your small and agile gunships called ''Claymores'' could fit this role perfectly. Heavier bomber also can prove good against something as big as Battleships, because Mamoru is designed to destroy transports and gunboats. Plus I trully love your photon guns.
Your proposition is quite tempting, however if you want to get two Rabas and two Black Dragons - I will have to talk with Hogosha Assosiation about this, because after all they owners of rights for this vessels. Once they give me answer I shall contact you again.

Flora, I do have something else then technology to discuss indeed. Farmers are growing bigger and our transports are enough on numbers to trade with our allies once again. But I completely luck of knowlege what would Gaians like to get from their allies from Kusari. The only rumor I've heared that the Corsairs sell Synthetic Marijuanna on Lagos Depot and your Skye Base in Newcastle wants it. But there should be more goods we could deliver you, and there should be something you can sell to us as well.
On the other hand, we need to know the situation in Bretonia and Kusari Exiles thats still somewhere there. Can you tell us fresh news from Leeds and Edinburg? I would like to know what our people can expect to run across when in trip into your space.

Cordially,
Ken Geki

[TheSauron]

Good day, sir Geki.

Regarding the trade routes, you should get paid quite well for Rum and Kyushu rice by dockmasters on both Skye and Islay.
Besides the more... luxury commodities, Torshavn will reward you with quite nice sums for Engine Components. We need a lot of those.
As for sale, we can't offer much except Gin. We may have something else than commodities to offer later on, but we'll have to see how things will work out.

As Edinburgh... Things are going as usual. Royal Navy still keeps the system under their strict control. They make frequent raids all over Bretonia, even going as far as Cambridge at times.
Leeds, on the other hand, saw some more happy events recently. Liberty Navy gathered quite a lot of their forces and put an end to battleship Oubli.
Such a small thing that made so many people happier...

As for the Exiles, we didn't had much of a contact with them except for one incursion of theirs into Edinburgh.
They had a brilliant idea to start insulting me there. Good thing it ended up in peace rather than shooting.

How about Kusari? I've heard that there are some tensions all over the place. Anything bigger appearing on the horizon?

Clean skies.

Haikei Geki sama,

Of course we understand your position, and we'll wait patiently the answer of the honorable Hogosha contact.
We are here, because we want help your people, so we can provide any kind of requested service including escort your shipments and defend them against anyone, but we can't open direct hostility against the mentioned Kishiro wings except in case of self-defence or in case of wildlife smuggling, which is our choosen crusade.
I personaly will patrol with your pilots if they welcome my presence and my other duties not prevent me to do so.
Also, I'm intend to help the conversation collaborating with you and your technical staff to solve any occuring issues and problems reguarding the weapon compatibility on both side.

Keigu,

Greetings,

Sergio Barboni, after discussion with Hogosha Assosiate I have decided to accept your offer. Hogosha and I made a very interesting deal, where your gunships will serve not only our goals but as well theirs. I will not bore you with details, but you can be assure that whenever you arrive for either Raba or Black Dragon, Hogosha will open their shipyard doors to you. If you shall ever be in need of replacing parts which Gaians do not produce - Cape Soya Station in Tottori been given orders to accept your Rabas, Mamorus and Black Dragons and put in repair list with top priority. If you shall need additional information or have more propositions - use this channel to contact me again.

Flora, thank you for some tips of what we can deliver to your stations. I shall pass info to Hikaru as she will be in lead of this operation. She will have a talk with your store keepers to figure out if there is more available routes for us exept for Gin.
Interesting, so Gallia appears to be quite busy out there. It works good for us, last thing I want is GRN end up in Kyushu helping Kishiro puppets. While I dont have any feelings towards Bretonia or Liberty victories, while our enemy is being distracted they work for us greatly.
Kusari is quite a mess right now, after this new Republic appeared on political arena, more and more inside conflicts happen. Farmers and Hogosha with help of Samura doing our best to keep things civil around western side of Kusari, but beyond this enemies of Kusari is everywhere. Blood Dragons increasing their military presense up north, Golden Chrysanthemums on east. GMG spotted relocating forces in Sigmas. I even hear rumors of some pirates from Liberty raiding south side, but truth is yet to be found.

Cordially,
Ken Geki

Konnichiwa!

This is your friends from Kusari. We wanted to thank you for providing us access to "Claymore" Gunboat of yours, as it proved to be a combination of beauty and death, just as we like. We have yet to test it in battlefield, but standart open space tests been passed with top marks. Handling is beyond any imagination, much better then "Raba" for sure, and shape is perfect for dodging. Firepower could be better though, we are working to improve it with Corsair weapons currently. If you want to record for your logbook - Alliance)Kusanagi is the ship's name.

As a friendly gift we send you this picture. Place it on your wall and remember that you do have friends.

Cordially,
Hayashi Hikaru and Hayashi Yuki
