First of all, i will introduce myself. My name is Julia Berne, and i am independent xenologist of Gallic origin. I've heard rumors that creatures whom have terrorized the Sirius sector about 29 years ago have begun to make themselves felt in Kusari. I study these beings, and more importantly, their forerunners. I'm not sure if you've heard of them, but it was on the basis of their technology that stable intersystem flights became available to humanity. I have already offered my services to the Cambridge Institute of Xenology, but because of my origin I was rejected. I have heard a lot about you as an open-minded person, and therefore, I am looking for your cooperation in matters of science and, probably, a patron for my research.
It is pleasure to make an acquaintance with you. My knowledge about the subject of your study is limited to the basic information one can obtain from history books and news reports of the time. Certainly, my position in the government allows me to get a glimpse into some confidential information but not the type available to the KNF and KOI. Thus, the patronage you are seeking can be extended mostly to recommendations. I support the private Tenmei University on Honshu and have connections with the state Imperial Haneda University of Honshu. The former is a smaller one and is mostly dealing with humanities and philosophy, although recently it got a new school of advanced technologies. The Haneda University, on the other hand, is a larger and well-established state university that, inter alia, offers courses on xenobiology and xenoarchaeology. Your best bet would be to try there. I can make an appropriate request for them to consider your candidature as a visiting researcher.
At the same time, my Clan can offer you patronage in your research. To that end, however, our secretariat will ask you about your research plan because we are not a research organisation per se and thus will not be able to effectively support an academic endeavour with no focus. I must warn you, however, that Kusari has been known not to be the best spot for studying xeno-sciences. There are no known alien ruins within the House of Kusari and the rumours of recent sightings must have certainly been exaggerated. There is a system of Tohoku where indeed such encounters might have happened due to the proximity to Omicrons but the system remains off the limits to most civilians and only heavily guarded convoys can be permitted into it. The authorities normally do not allow the subjects of Kusari to venture there and so the chance of a citizen of the Gallic Union getting a permit is rather low. Nevertheless, all other systems under the jurisdiction of Kusari are open to your research pursuit.
I appreciate you reaching me and would be glad to assist in the matters within my power. It is wonderful to see the development of cooperation between the peoples of Gallia and Kusari following the recent unfortunate hostilities. I wish you best in your research and hope that it will bring more harmony and understanding to our peoples. Please, let me know exactly I can assist you with.
