I am Natsukawa Saeko, but most people call me Natsu, or just Saeko.
I am contacting you at the recommendation of two Naval Forces officers who believed that my services would be useful to you, an impression gained while I was assisting them with operations in the Kyushu and Tau-31 systems.
That being said, I am only a freelance transport captain, I'm no warrior or combat pilot, but, of course, I am willing and able to aid the honorable Kusari Naval Forces.

Saeko-san.
Do not expect a grandiose speech for I am occupied in foreign territory with a task too important not to handle myself.
Whilst I will not be able to meet you in person any time soon, permit me to express my humble gratitude for your aid towards our forces along the Tau Highway. 'Goryō' is the name, head of a Naval Intelligence branch. I suspect you can guess what dealing with us directly means; discretion is of utmost importance.
Do not be alarmed but we are currently running a background check on you. This is just a mere formality as I do not expect anything troublesome to turn up, thus let us move on to two simple questions:
How well do you know the different corners of Sirius?
Do you have regular business contacts, if so who?
"Goryō", in service of the Imperial Kusari Naval Intelligence.

Goryo-sama, I imagine someone in your position is quite busy, so I understand.
Background checks are fine, but I would honestly be surprised if you find very much at all, given how frequently I...moved around, as a child, and how much time I have spent outside of House space as an adult. No legal trouble or anything like that, of course.
To answer your questions, I am quite familiar with House Liberty, House Bretonia, the Borderworlds, and somewhat familiar with House Rheinland, thus far I have managed to avoid Gallic space, thankfully.
I spent many years as a crewmember aboard a large liner with quite the diverse crew...and as such, the captain had business dealings throughout the sector. Of course, as captain of Gentenkaiki, I have also done a fair bit of traveling at my own discretion too.
Naturally, I cannot give you specific names of my business associates, as much of my work involves bringing cargo from one location to another -- all while ensuring proper legal authorizations through the affiliated governing bodies and authorities of course, and then leaving it at a dock of the client's choosing, without ever coming face to face with anyone but Security or dock workers.
I find that my ability to be discrete is often highly valued by those seeking to hire a Freelancer, rather than a Corpo pilot, to move cargo and perform other jobs, you know? It has worked quite well for me thus far, and perhaps it could work for Kusari Naval Intelligence as well.
