I hereby inform you that I safely got away from that Artificial intelligence. I seeked refuge on Barrier Gate station, a hellhole that in my opinion should get blasted out of this galaxy.
Anyway, moving on to the topic we talked about earlier. I was about to tell you about the strength of our fleet. To be perfectly honest, I still have to find the information about that. It is currently at the admiral's desk, which means I cannot access it right now. I do hope to be able to provide you with more information soon.
As for our earlier mentioned Idea - I was about to tell you why I contacted you. Seeing that the Kempeitai, or at least your particular cell, still appears to be loyal to their one true master, Tetsuya-Heika, first of the Nara Lineage and bearer of the mandate of heaven, I do hope that we can work out some... Agreements. First... I'd like to hear something about the republic itself. Rumours aboard Shinkaku say it's crumbling. I want to hear more. Because if we are to make a move, we need... Intel. If you catch my meaning.
I do hope we can use this channel to communicate further. I will instate a comms channel that hides alongside one of the newsfeed channels from Shinkaku to the Republic. It should stay secret that way.
For now, for both our safety, this transmission will stay secret to the rest of the imperial Guard unless we actually have something to tell them.
For our majesty's glory

Firstly it is good to hear you escaped the pursuing AI unit, we are currently working on where it came from and what further threat it may pose to any further arrangements.
Upon reviewing your transmission and information request we can report the following in regards to the Republic of Kusari.
The Kyushu system is in a state of division, being the most residential system within the republic there have been isolated riots and some clashes with system wide state police. There are also reports of some strikes taking place within the system further slowing the recovery from the Tau campaign, our current intelligence suggests that Kyushu is still mostly in favour of returning to an Empire. Kempeitai will continue to monitor the situation in Kyushu and provide you with further intelligence on this issue when the need arrises.
Our naval forces as you well know, are well trained and still maintain the security for the republic however due to the losses in the campaign against Bretonia and the Tau's the majority of our capital ships were wiped out and the vast majority of Kempeitai assets were seized as a result. Kure shipyard is currently our provider of fighters and bombers but Kusari lacks the ability to currently build its own capital vessels. The newest battleships of the republican fleet have been constructed within Rheinland. Further intelligence will be gathered on exact numbers within the forces as soon as we are able to do so.
The Republic is currently facing a large threat from our long term enemies known as the Blood Dragons who have brought in their own capital ships as close as planet New Tokyo it's self which is proving to be a valuable distraction for our forces and state police. Samura has witnessed the power of the blood dragon fleet when it launched an attack on one of its remote mining stations within the Nagano system, further intelligence is not avaliable on where the dragons are currently building their capital vessles.
Kempeitai will be attempt to contact you directly within the next two standard days and an Agent will be dispatched to a secure location to further share intelligence with your self, details will be sent to you once arrangments are in place.
