Konbanwa, Fräulein, watashi wa Annika Jana Haupt-Isha desu.

I know that my japanese is bad, and my pronounciation is probably even worse. I apologize for that in advance. If you'd like further communications to be in english, I will gladly oblige, but during our meeting it didn't become completely evident if you prefer either.

I'll cut to the point. I found our little encounter quite interesting, and even though both our groups are kind of different from one another, it made me thoughtful.
Please do not take me contacting you as a sign of me being convinced of, or even sharing your worldview. I am just kind of a curious person that likes to... well, learn more about aspects of history that I don't know enough about, and since your worldview and history are strongly intertwined, I am interested in learning about yours.

My curiosity itself can somewhat be explained by my former job. I have earned my doctorate in Sirian history, but the Kusarian is shamefully neglected on Rheinlands academies. One of the reasons my japanese is so bad, because I was forced to learn the little I know all by myself.

So essentially what I am proposing is simple. I'd like to meet with you, and/or discuss the said topics via this channel. Take it as me fueling my own curiosity. And perhaps you might learn something about Rheinland yourself?

I do hope for a quick response.

Regards
Doktor Annika Jana Haupt

P.S. - Please just call me Nika. Everyone does.

"Konnichiwa Haupt-san,

Your attempt at Japanese is admirable, and is not frowned upon. In fact, it is refreshing to hear a foreigner attempt our language... 'Dankeschon'."

"It would be a pleasure to discuss political and historical perspectives with you; after all a keen mind honed in such disciplines as a mind trained for the current moment. Despite the differences of our cause, there are still points of similarity from which we may learn from one another. Rheinland is an enigma to me afterall. I trust this is request is not laced with ulterior motive, it would be a shame if it were so."

"May the Stars keep you."

Konnichiwa.

Indeed, we can learn much from each other. And I assure you, there are no 'ulterior motives', that I am pursuing, except the egoistical wish to learn more.
You know the Sigmas better than me, and I suspect it will be the Sigmas where we meet, since even if this meeting is entirely based on good will on both sides, I highly doubt we would invite each other to our respective homes, so I think you would be the appropriate person to decide on the location of our meeting. Timewise I am pretty occupied with flying patrols right now, but if you give me signal at the right time, I might be able to take a shift.

In the hope for a quick response
Nika Haupt

"Kon'nichwa Haupt-san,

Whilst one can never be sure of claims that there are no ulterior motives, I shall choose to believe that truth, for now."

"Let us meet in Sigma 17, away from prying eyes. If you fly there within the next half-day, my eyes shall tell me and I will come to meet you."

"May the stars keep you until then."
