Comm ID:Major Kell Tainer Subject: Renewing Ties Location:CLASSIFIED
Evening gentlemen,
We have likely not met before as I have been off grid for approximately six years, since the Fall of Toledo. Regardless, I have been reinstated in the Order courtesy of my old comrade now Grand Admiral Michal Golanski of the Order.
Anyway, my name is Major Kell Tainer, formerly Director of the Order Wedjat Intelligence division. At least at its height prior to the Fall. Back then, I had secured use of one of your Karasu type heavy fighters for my own needs.
I am interested in renewing this particular agreement if possible, and if at all possible, upgrading the Karasu to one of your Benzaiten VHFs in its place. Additionally, I would be interested in procuring a Bishamon class Gunship for routine business. I am primarily interested in their use as courier ships for when going undercover is necessary.

Ship usage
Evening gentlemen,
The Grand Admiral apprised me that you had some concerns about the validity of my claims and that he vouched for my credentials. Regardless, I would like to inquire about the current disposition of my request.
Please accept my apologies for the delay in this reply on behalf of The Guild. I hope you understand that in today's world it is vital to confirm the identity of those in positions such as yours. We are all good people, but in a bad land, a land which necessitates all reasonable precautions.
GMG is most welcoming of any and all opportunities to assist its friends in the Order, however as you may understand we do have our concerns. The diplomacy of Sirius and beyond is an intricate web of precarious relationships, fragile agreements and volatile arrangements. There are those out there which The Guild enjoys relative peace with that, in their misguided visions, do not approve of the Order, and of course, vice versa.
A Benzaiten very heavy fighter may be made available to you on request. Unfortunately, there are those who would use the sighting of an Order operative in a GMG fighter as warped justification in pursuing their twisted ideals and doing harm to both of our organisations. The reverse is also true, which is why The Guild has elected not to request ships and equipment from the Order, despite their obvious strength and utility. For these reasons, despite the positive relationship our groups enjoy, one we truly believe in, we have our concerns with your request due to the potential of it jeopardising the covert nature of our friendship which would ultimately prove detrimental to our mutual operations.
Should you absolutely require a Benzaiten, we shall, as your friends, oblige. However, we ask you consider all of the potential outcomes of your request.
