Konbanwa Okasan Matsumado,

I hope that this message will find you in good health, as our meeting in Hokkaido has been interrupted rather abruptly. I've decided to humiliate these very unpleasant KNF officers by letting them chase me for several systems, while giving them false impression of a near success, just to leave them way behind in the end while laughing. This is how Liberty has shaped the Lane Hackers. While being notoriously outnumbered and at disadvantage, we had to learn how to strike unnoticed and then disappear in the shadows.

The encounter with KNF forces in Hokkaido in addition to the chase itself has provided me with a lot of intelligence regarding their tactics, mode of operations and available manpower. Surprisingly, KNF has shown incredible battle-flexibility, being able to quickly withdraw unnecessary ships and replace them with appropriate forces. Our analysts will continue to dig through gathered data to provide us with some valid counter-tactics. We will be happy to share them.

Now let me express my happiness that the Golden Chrysantemums are regaining their former position in Kusari. I had the pleasure to personally meet Okasan Amaya Tanaka over a year ago, shortly before the unfortunate events which affected your sisterhood so badly. As you may know, we had performed several operations together. I attach you archived logs, if you wish to know the specifics.

Finally, I would like to ensure you that our cordial relations from the past have not been forgotten. Your ships are still warm welcomed at our bases, and we hope that this feeling is mutual. I also hope that we will be able to meet soon in order to discuss more details concerning our cooperation.

Sayonara,
Nicole Hunter

Konnichiwa gozaimasu, esteemed Okasan Keiko Matsumado.

I apologise for the lack of a reply for quite some time, on behalf of miss Hunter, as she has been very occupied with various other activities, and simply has not been able to handle any diplomatic cases. She has, however, asked me to take care of them instead in her absence.

Allow me to start off with adding that I have had the pleasure of meeting one of your sisters before, miss Yuki Nagato. While having never dealt with any Golden Crysanthemums in person before, I must say she left a mesmerising impression. Official pleasantries aside, you have already earned my personal respect.


As for the officialities, we thank you for extending your invitation to your homes. They will certainly add a calming touch to the wasp nest that is Kusari currently.

The Lane Hackers will also gladly help broaden both of our smuggling operations to include each other, not only to help spread the Orange Dream more effectively, but also as an act of courtesy to welcome to you Liberty in our name. Feel free to stop by Leiden, Cochrane and Mactan as much as you wish. I, however, ask you to keep your visits to Airdrie to a minimum when it comes to more higher profile scenarios. The last thing we want is for its location to be compromised. Speaking of which, when in need of directions to any of our bases, any of our operatives will be happy to help you, if you don't already have said locations documented.

As a final note, assessments on the Kusari Navy, Police and their corporate and criminal goons are currently unavailable, at least in my hands, for which I also apologise. Whenever miss Hunter will have the time, I will ask her to supply you with them.


Oyasuminasai, and with regards,
Oddjob.

Konbanwa, Okasan Matsumado.

I'm sure that you, and any of your sisters willing to, will have the opportunity to get alligned with the more fresh members of the Lane Hackers.

As for the transportation of goods, cardamine is always in high demand; both Airdrie and Leiden import cardamine at a frequent basis while exporting our quality homemade softwares in return. Besides that, we don't export much noticable products. Can we expect to broaden our own smuggling routes with more than just the occasional cardamine haul to Ainu?


I furthermore would like to thank you for honoring me by allowing me to make your acquintance. It certainly is a privilege to be speaking to the representative of the Sisterhood.

Oyasuminasai, and with regards,
Oddjob.

Konbanwa Okasan Matsumado,

You must excuse me that I have not responded to you in person earlier. I was extremely occupied by various events that happened in Liberty. I am dispatching a ship called Crash to Desktop to Chanai. Onboard there is a small gift for you. I will arrive at your dome shortly after our ship, so we will be able to discuss in person more details.

Sayonara,
Nicole Hunter

Konbanwa Dear Okasan Matsumado,

I hope that our small gift satisfied your taste. I also hope that the software we have brought to Chanai served you well. As promised, I am uploading star charts covering coordinates of the Shiden-Komatsu-Jersey smuggling route.

In two standard days our Traversers will start smuggling Cardamine from Ainu to Leiden while bringing you software back. As for the intelligence operation I have mentioned, I will send rest of the details soon.

Sayonara,
Nicole Hunter
