To: Golden Chrysanthemums

[Stefz]

Buenas dias, my old amigos!

How are you? I guess bueno, si? I hope you liked the Cardamine I delivered to your depot few months ago. Also, your Suncannons impressed me. To be honest, I didn't expect that much of them, but they rule.

Let me get to the point. The reason I am contacting you is, well, another tech request. Recently, I've bought Falcata, and in invasion of some Gallians, it got destroyed. I barely managed to get rescue capsule out before it exploded. Now I know that Falcata isn't really for my style. I prefer smaller, more agile ships. So, I am wondering if you could grant me usage of one of your pretty Orchid bombers. I've seen them and they are really nice, small and agile from what I've seen.

You know that you can ask me to do almost anything for you, as I always supported Golden Chrysanthemums and their goals. Need more Cardamine? No problemo. Just tell me what you need and I'll get on it as soon as possible. I am the man of word and you should know it.

That would be all.

Cordiali saluti. Stefan Mortensen, Lieutenant of the 101st Ghosts of Razgriz.

|The communication screen flickers on, and after a brief second of static, a video plays. It shows a pale, lithe girl of about 14 with raven black hair, deep violet eyes, and of obvious kusarian descent. She stares at the screen for a second, and her hands move to her keyboard. The video doesn't seem to have sound, but there is a text feed at the bottom|

>>:Hello.

>>:I have been placed in charge of responding to this communications broadcast.
>>:It should be noted that, while I am new, and young, I understand when opportunities present themselves.

>>:Your request will be granted upon acceptance of a few terms.
>>:I'd like to point out, that these terms are not meant as restrictions, but as mutually beneficial arragements, of which both parties can prosper.
>>:This request, though seemingly personal, may very well lead to something that would allow us to cement our alliance. You say you support us and our goals, we can only ask that you show us this.
>>:Please, prove to us that our alliance will be strong and prosperous.

>>:The terms are as follows;
+ A new shipment of cardimine. While we do have the shipment we recently acquired, we are always in need of more. Especially with newer sisters joining us.
+ Your support in any confrontation that may happen in your presence.
+ You take it to us for checkup/maintenece once a month. If you do not do this, the rigor of battle will make it unpilotable, and it will more than likely break, and be unusable.
+ And-

|She seems to hesitate for a moment, a look of sadness flashed across her face briefly, before her expression returned to it's neutral state|

+ And one of those custom breathers. Please make one that would fit me.

>>:Upon your reply and acceptance to these terms, your request will be granted.
>>:I look forward to your transmission.

>>: TRANSMISSION END :<<
>>: PLAY AGAIN? Y/N? :<<

Buenas dias, senorita.

Gracias for quick reply. So, you say that you need another shippment of Cardamine, my support to Golden Chrysanthemums whenever it's needed and.. Coughs one of those custom breathers for you, senorita. No problemo, all can be worked out. I will start shipping Cardamine to Ainu depot within few minutes after this transmission, along with custom breather for you. You're lucky enough that I actually found one today and thought: "Oh look, I might need this small one.". Regarding my suppport.. As I already said, you always had, you always have and you will always have my support. I think you could now reserve one Orchid for me, si? I will arrive on battleship Matsuda soon, so per favore reserve one for me.

That's all, I hope to see you soon, senoritas.

Cordiali saluti. Stefan Mortensen, Lieutenant of the 101st Ghosts of Razgriz.

|The comm screen flashes in again, but the girl is different this time around, her hair is wet, as if she had just gotten out of the shower, and her black t-shirt clung to her skin.|

>>:Thank you for the quick reply. Pardon the appearence.

>>:Your orchid will be waiting for you upon your arrival. We'll also take your current ship off your hands, if need be.

>>:We expect to see you soon.

>>: TRANSMISSION END :<<
>>: PLAY AGAIN? Y/N? :<<
