McEwan-san. We have quite a bit to discuss.

Admittedly, it surprised me that old voices such as those of the Artisan Farmers' Alliance and Nature's Last Hope have come out of the woodwork as of late. Considering how bad things have begun to get in Kusari and out, I had thought those voices quashed forever.

But there are certain things we need to speak of that we cannot speak openly about. We need to find somewhere. In the border worlds or in Coronado, where we can speak securely.

I need to know some things about Ze'ev Barak.

All that begins must end.

Honorable Takeda Kenji: Aye, It IS odd that the echos of the AFA & NLH would bounce back to our ears now after all this time, but humbly, I view time as spherical instead of linear, and assumed it was an inevitable eventuality...but I digress.

I have sent a secure burst transmission to you on the s.k.y.p.e. protocol and will begin traveling to a secure location within the hour.

I will patiently wait for your signal upon arrival.
