Fully Encrypted
Greetings esteemed Guild Master,
My name is Marcus Kane, known usually as the President of the Colonial Republic.
However, I hope we can dispel with the usual diplomatic niceties and talk frankly.
The Republic bares the Guild no ill-will, more's the opposite.
We, I, feel that the Guild is just in their quest to secure Kurile.
Although they do not seem to appreciate it, your commitment to continuing to supply Kusari with Organisms from Kurile is something to be admired, it shows a true dedication to mankind.
The lack of appreciation is what I am sending you this message in relation to.
The Republic has experienced a reprieve of sorts from the constant onslaught of pirates and we have found ourselves with the capacity to help those elsewhere in Sirius, especially those with causes that we support.
As such I have a two simple questions to ask you Guild Master, if you would do me the honour of answering them:
Firstly, what is the state of the GMG's military in relation to it's ability to counter this new menace?
Secondly, are there any goods that the GMG is in need of? The Republic would be happy to help, even if these goods are not manufactured in our own factories.
Thank you for your time Guild Master, I hope this reaches you well.

Konnichiwa President Kane,
As you can imagine GM Raikoke-san has a full itinerary and sends her regards. I would be glad to discuss your inquiry. We do appreciate your support as we further our endeavors in the Sigmas and are glad to hear we have another friend.
Concerning your questions, the GMG Paramilitary is fully capable to resist foreign intrusions especially within our gas clouds. Our forces and technology are tailored for this specific environment. So to read between the lines we would like to keep any offer of military strength on hold. If matters do escalate we may need your expertise on specific regions.
Your other offer to realize supporting materials does peak our interest. For now ship building materials and maintenance components would be useful. The occasional supply of personal combat gear would also be utilized. The beneficial delivery point would occur at Niigata. If there are any logistic details please work them out with my personal assistant Yori Suzu.
The board of Guild Masters thank you for your proactive and sincere offer. We value your support.
Sore dewa,
