Konnichiwa Captain Meliar,
our records shows another Zoner ship have requested this license for the same purpose and the High Command is rather reluctant to approve another.
While within Kusari space boundaries, these GMG-affiliated Ronins can count on the Kusari State Police and Naval Forces protection, to add to their own escorts if needed.
I will further discuss the matter with the Ronin Commander to see if these convoys can be limited to one destroyer/cruiser at time, if really needed, eventually granting a license for both.

Honourable Sulu
I apologise for the insistance, but due to my own fault Ifailed to give you the full information.
Its precisely because we want to rotate the ships that we are requesting this permit, we dont intend to have both present in any convoy to our base in Omega 49 at any time.
Plus, the captain of the Spirit of Freeport 7 has been forced to abstain from escorting said convoys due to exceptional ion storms on his end.
I can reassure the High Command that only one of the cruisers will be present as part of those convoys. I trust that in the light of the new data you have no further objections.

The blood shed burning inside Kusari since 321 A.S. is still far from ending.
For nearly 500 years it has seen Kusari's Sons killing each other in the name of lost honour.
The old 'days of the Novas' are still a live recall in the Kusari Naval Forces actual Command,
most of those Officers were just Shois at that time and can remember.
Some didn't make it.
When those days passed away leaving a mark, the Blood Dragon threat has been gradually lowering to
persistent but scattered groups while another danger to Kusari was arising from Bretonia, forcing many eyes to look elsewhere.
Now, the rumors of a new growing power capable of unite them all grip the minds of the High Command.
They were about to face a threat beyond any imagination...

Konichiwa Sulu-san, I am Captain Ookami of the KNS-Shinigami_Maru gunboat class Kusari naval vessel. I am contacting you to request permission to purchase the Kusari Destroyer class naval ship. My crew and I have done much research and we believe that this increased military strength will help us to add our support to the Kusari offensive in Leeds and other Bretonian systems in addition to homeland defense. I have a full biography of each major crew member and a standard statistics and reputation list if you desire them san. I have recently become aware of the Kusari Action Reports and will continue to serve Kusari by reporting any engagements. The following is a list of my primary crew in order for you to perform background checks and citizenship affirmations if necessary. May the divine will of the Emperor and the might of Kusari grant us victory in all things.

Konnichiwa Captain Ippiki Ookami,
the High Command will be interested of course in reviewing all documents of the case with you.
As the Neural Net is not actually giving any result with the keywords you provided, I assume the nature of those documents is still private.
Should you wish to wait that is not an issue but note that the High Command will not be able to approve until those documents are 'released',
therefore you should not take the vessel out of the drydocks until that time.
Informally,
good job with escorting the Zoner capital and beware to not engage low profile targets.
That would not be an honourable action for a Naval Forces Destroyer Captain.

Konnichiwa Captain Ippiki Ookami,
I have found all informations gathered very satisfatory.
As to your recent action involving the destruction of a Blood Dragon Cruiser and support to a State Police Officer, it was a great show of ability which saved lives.
For that reason I have decided to fly past some 'burocratic' issues, this time...
With the hereby communication the command of the Naval Forces Destroyer Shinigami_Maru is officially transferred to the Captain Ippiki Ookami.

The Shinigami Maru will serve Kusari until death, and I as her Captain. I can not express enough gratitude for the honor you have shown me, Taisho Sulu-san. May the might of Kusari succeed in all things.
