INCOMING MESSAGE
侯爵島森正仁
拝啓岡本さん, (//"haikei Okamoto-san" - Dear Mr Okamoto)
I hope this message finds you well. These times are troubled for Kusari, especially for its stalwart warriors like yourself. I am certain you have not lost your way during this turmoil.
I was flattered when you, a young promising officer, showed interest in my work and sympathised with my ideas. Because of this I would like to invite you to join me on one of my endeavours that I have been planning recently. With Yamaguchi departing Honshu it is obvious the government of Kusari is going vabanque with the war, leaving Honshu prone to attacks. Being a member of kizoku (//nobility), I have more freedom in deciding what to do with my assets and certainly this involves the flagship of my clan, "Zuiryu". Availing my position, I invite you to join me in defence of Honshu as our home system while the battlegroups are away. I presume, the war will be over soon at last and not in our favour, so we would rather keep the visibility of system's protection lest unlawful elements feel the freedom from the naval presence. We both know that the KSP is not as active as it could have been as of recently and will not suffice for, say, repelling Blood Dragons attack.
At the same time, the plan I mentioned earlier is not about protecting Honshu but about practicing what I am preaching. In my recent article, I called upon the establishment of Kusari to make efforts on the colonisation front. My colleagues at Tenmei University on Honshu recently mapped the neighbouring to Honshu space and found a few cases that might be star systems for some reason ignored during the previous exploration missions. While stationed in Honshu, I want to render the capabilities of our ships to astronomers from Tenmei to serve as ad hoc observatories. Later on when the threat of internal turmoil subsides I want to embark on exploration mission to these unchartered systems and into the neighbouring to Kusari Omicron systems in search of habitable or terraformable worlds for the Empire. Trusted and skilled commanders as yourself, Okamoto-san, surely will benefit such a mission and I hereby officially invite you to join me in this without a doubt important for the Empire adventure.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
敬具島森正仁 (//"Keigu Shimamori Masahito" - Best Regards, Shimamori Masahito)
