Comm ID: Director Regis Lawson Location: New London CC: N/A Encryption:High Subject: Proposition
Word has reached our ears of potential hostilities between the Guild and the Kusari Empire, I feel that it's a little spark of improvement to what has been going on in Bretonian space on the fronts. I have a proposition that might be able to strengthen the ties between Bretonia and the GMG.
Our forces desperately need H-Fuel, and the small amounts that we've been able to scrounge up are being sent to fighting forces only. To give a rough estimate of how much fuel we have left in reserves, enough to continue fighting for a year or two, if that as a few secondary fleet Captains believe it's better to deploy massive ships on nearly every bloody fight.
The proposition I have is simple. We can supply the Gas Miners Guild with unmarked Military Grade weaponry. I'm not going to lie when I state that these are weapons highly illegal in both senses. If my reports are correct, we can supply you with about three thousand (3,000) units of these weapons. Now, as much as I would like a constant shipment of H-fuel to be sent to Bretonia, I have a feeling that our ties are not strong enough to request such an offer. Therefore, I request two thousand five hundred (2,500) units of H-Fuel.
Preparations on loading the transport have already commenced.
Signed,
Director Regis Lawson Home Office of Military Intelligence
The order has been completed. In addition to 3000 units of HFuel, 30 members of Chiyeko Shunji's personal crew were relieved of their duties and released to New London authorities.

Arigato, for your business.

I brought 500 extra units of HFuel to New London, but one seemed to throw up a fuss. The journey out was relatively quiet, successfully avoiding one Outcast pirate in Omicron Theta. We ran into multiple Hispanian pirates in Omega-41 on the return trip, but my escort Shinobi.Otomo managed to lure them off so I could escape to Omicron Theta. I paid him handsomely for his bravery.
