Honors, GMG; honors, Kishiro keiretsu.

I believe our papers clearly states that KTA is affiliated with Samura Industries, because they serve us as our protectors. However, knowning about the corporate civil war all three (five, if count Farmers Alliance and Black Dragon Society, known as Hogosha, as well) are waging, KTA wishes not to be part of this civil war. Hereby, I ask you to conclude the three-side agreement between KTA, GMG and Kishiro to not fire outside Kusari space (Sigmas), because of our trade in Rheinland space - our main export and import goods are: Junyo Pearls, Sake, Fertilizers and other farming stuff with some additional second-hand items.

To summarize our agreement:
- KTA will not take part in any Samura action (levy fines, piracy, full-scale or covert operations) against GMG or Kishiro.
- GMG and Kishiro Industries will not take part in similiar actions nor pirate vessels under KTA tag, despite our vessels partialy belonging to Samura Industries.
- KTA will be able to participate in joint operations concerning rebuilding Kusari from turmoil and change in the government with both Kishiro and GMG.

[HEAVY ENCRYPTION: FOR GMG EYES ONLY]
Additional, optional, but negotiationable point of the agreement:
- KTA will try to conclude the smallest casualities in Blood Dragon ranks, this may require contact with Blood Dragons - we are aware of some strange patterns in meetings between Blood Dragons and GMG that rarely ends with losses on both sides. We will also agree to deny any actions against Blood Dragons in Hokkaido - our ships will pay fines or flee to safety, disengaging from open combat with Blood Dragon vessels (unless being escorted or in joint operation with Samura to keep our agreement silent).
