Konnichiwa, Mister Simpson,

Like I told you before, I recalled our fleet pending this negotiation.
First things first. It is time for proper introductions. I am Matriarch Ishikawa, leader of the Gen'an Cell of the Golden Chrysanthemums. The reason for our rapid deployment was our inability to establish your intentions and the inability of our Sisters to dock on the base to confirm its standing.

You must be aware that you have built your new station into the heart of our influence sphere and doing so without a word to us in advance. This could be attributed to plain ignorance of the political climate in Kusari, but you must see how this would provoke a reaction from us. However, seeing as you seem to be a reasonable person, I am willing to forgive such mistake.

This leaves the station itself.
What is its purpose? We can respect neutrality, but we must have some reassurance that your presence wont become an issue down the line. Kusari isn't a house where it is easy to maintain true neutrality, as you have seen with the pressuring attitude of Shimamori.

Konnichiwa, Mister Simpson,

We can live with your proposal.
A shield is fine, but no offensive weapons. Should we see weapon platforms show up, we will see this as an act of aggression. Seeing your words, I trust this is something you want to avoid anyway. As you said. The best defense is just not becoming a problem to us.
I can also live with no docking rights to the station, as long as it wont become a nuisance to our operations. I can understand your position so close to a warship and a hive full of bounty hunters.
I do want to add to this: Keep your station limited to one (1) , within Kusari space. If you have plans for further expansion in the territory where we operate, let us know beforehand so we can possibly renegotiate.

Be aware that your and other transports coming to and from your base arent subject to special protections due to this agreement. GC pilots can still stop you and demand contributions to the GC cause. This is our standard policy regarding most commercial traffic in the region. Last person we had a similar agreement with thought it was smart to insult our Sisters when they stopped him and made claims about agreements we never made. His presence in Kusari is no more. It is only fair to donate to our cause occasionally when operating in our space.

So to be short. Show respect to the GC and be on our good side. Get on our bad side and you will find yourself at the bad side our weapons.

Konnichiwa, Mister Simpson,

I wish you good luck with your enterprise.
We will keep this channel open for future communications between our parties.
