Esteemed Director.
It appears some of your agents suffer from wanderlust. However, out of good will, we shall disregard Agent Skirka's choice of actions this time.
As a side notice, be informed that in regards for potential future "occurrences", the SIS could simply forward an inquiry of permission towards the Government - in full accordance to IV-1, Kusari Imperial Stellar Codex, your Agents would then enjoy not just an escort to keep them safe but also not risk being shot down on sight.
Now to the more crucial topic: The Technocracy of Auxo
As Shimamori has stated clearly, the Technocracy is not outlawed within Kusari space. They were never seen engaging into illicit actions, nor were they observed assisting enemies of state. Their appearance within Kusari space is also extremely scarce, usually conducted by merchant vessels or individuals with probable Kusarian heritage.
The hostility between the Kingdom of Bretonia and the Technocracy appears to persist, as your Agents encounter with one of their merchant vessels clearly showed. While we find it most distasteful by your Agent to attempt traversing Kusari space in the fashion they did, we believe such long standing hostility must have very good reasons, far past territorial issues and grudges. We would be most pleased if we were to receive a statement explaining why the Technocracy was outlawed in Bretonia to begin with and if their future actions may also pose a risk to commercial, civil or otherwise interests of the Kusari Empire. While we consider it unlikely that their activity around our space increases, it is never wrong to be prepared.
Be advised that we sent a similar inquiry for explanation to the Technocracy. It may serve well as material to mutually analyze at a later point, if you desire such extensive cooperation.

You have my apologies for Agent Skirka's wandering, I assure you he has been reminded not to do it again and indeed he will not.
As for Auxesia I believe the root of the cause was primarily Ideological, although the consistent accusations of infection did not help their cause either nor their extraordinary arrogance in dealing with the Bretonian Government.
With the greatest possible respect to you and yours, I believe that despite Agent Skirka's unhappiness at seeing an Auxesian he nevertheless behaved himself and obeyed all commands given to him. I have no doubt in my mind that Kusari's relationship with Auxesia is nothing but amicable. As such I do not feel the need to cast doubt upon it, nor would we dream of telling you with whom you should speak.
If you trust the Auxesians, then that is entirely your business. For our part, we apologize for the intrusion into your space. It won't happen again.
Regards:
V. Steiner
Director of the Secret Intelligence Service

Esteemed Director.
The case of Agent Skirka is hereby dismissed.
In regards to the Technocracy, such an apparent fixation in infectees among Bretonian forces appears troublesome. Throwing this term around mindlessly, has frequently caused conflict where no conflict required to grow. Given the ideological nature of your conflict, we will not ban Technocracy vessels from our space but instead put them under heightened levels of surveillance.
Should anything of concern to the house Bretonia happen, it is well possible you find another message from us in your inbox.

Director.
It fills me with great displeasure to hear that you, alongside two other agents, ventured into Kusari space again. We expected a man of your caliber and history to stay true to his word, though it appears the Kappa was swept away by the river.
You will find that your entire family is barred entry to Kusari, as it would be equal to casting golden coins at a cat to continue permitting them free movement across Kusari while the esteemed "Großherzog" forgoes any decency in how to act around a friendly neighbors territory.
A skilled warrior has superior manners. Have you ever heard of such a term?
Despite your missteps, the Imperial Naval Intelligence shall disclosure what we have found out surrounding the Orkney Affair out of recognition and respect to the Bretonian Government and the people of Bretonia. The developments around Orkney may as well affect them.

All units returned safely and reported the following situation:
All tradelanes within the system are offline, some show direct structural damage, others were abandoned.
Both Jump Gates in the system are locked and show minimal structural damage. However, both Gates were knocked out of their prior vector.
Issoudun Shipyard was destroyed by a yet to be determined force. EM signatures hint at the use of experimental weaponry on the outside and several explosions from within. This was a precision strike operation, with a high probability that it was initiated on the inside. No ship wrecks were detected which means the station was done for before units from their Battlecruiser could respond.
Seemingly no attempts to salvage the wreckage were made so far, however our wing had to execute a Gallic patrol in order to get close to the wreck.
Both the mining facility and the Gallic Battlecruiser appear intact. Extensive amounts of patrol units prevented a further analysis. Patrols were only encountered around the mining facility and the wreck.
The situation on Dounby, an Independent Miner Guild outpost, was in disarray. Only wild speculations were encountered.
