Konnichiwa Niklaus,
It has been too long since we have talked old friend, and that saddens me. We should soon make time to meet, although I am sure that matters of state take up most of your time, as they do mine. I wish I could be sending this message for better reasons, but apparently we have something to discuss. I received word yesterday, that the several RM ships were involved on an attack against Kusari civilians in Sigma 13. I must say, I find this news very disturbing, if it is true, but I have had such a long friendship with you, I felt that using normal diplomatic channels would cause to much of a fuss, so I decided to send this message to you personally. It seems the GMG attacked several Kusari vessels in Sigma 13. These civilians aligns themselves with that which in Kusari is referred to as the Hogosha. The GMG and Hogosha have a long standing grudge, with the GMG upset with them for a deal the GMG was cut out of long in the past. Call it sour grapes if you will, but the GMG tends to attack the Hogosha, without much cause, due to political issues here, I cannot fully deal with the GMG on this matter, and we tend to let the Hogosha and GMG deal with their own issues as long as they keep it outside of Kusari. I would have just chalked this up to another clash between the GMG and the Hogosha in the border worlds, were it not for the involvement of the RM in this whole affair. I find it to be quite surprising as well, as I was under the impression that the RM was not particularly welcome in Sigma 13. I ask Niklaus, one friend to another, for you to investigate this matter. I would appreciate your looking into it, so that we may find out the cause of this issue, as the conflict between the GMG and Hogosha is a localized on, we in Kusari stay out of it, but should the Rhineland Military become involved in the situation, I see no way that the Kusari Naval Forces would not become involved as well, and this would probably lead to a situation neither of us wants to contemplate.
I hope to hear back from you soon old friend.
