To: Sum-Gok-Li, Sendai R. Station.

[Ryummel]

Most respectful salutations, Sum-Gok-Li. Even if I think this meeting should have been done with a few cups of sake in Kyoto as tradition dictates, I'm afraid I have to settle this matter as fast as possible and get straight to the point.

In this past time, we have been taking little steps in the field of knowledge on Nomads thank to the constant and dedicated work of the research team being led by your persona at the moment. Please, don't get me wrong when I say 'little steps', which are actually great achievements given our somehow limited technology. Definitely you and your team should be proud of this labor.

However, you yourself have also witnessed how the other side of the fence is right now, as in our current fight against the illegitimate Empire. Since the Naval Forces decided to beat their chests and charge the Bretonians by following the desires of a corporation, we earned precious time to revive old diplomacies, strengthing our influence in some of the upper and eastern sectors of the Crow Nebula and of course having our tools of war improved faster than ever. And now we have reached a critical situation concerning this last matter.

You would have noticed the recent convoys from the IMG itself (Data attached) and some other associaties (1) (2) arriving at Sendai carrying certain commodities for research purposes. And you would also have noticed that most of these cargo deliveries were directly heading to the Military Research modules.

If it didn't give you any clue yet, I'll be clear now: Currently we have five out of eleven modules assigned to Nomad research matters, but we are in the urge to reduce this number drastically down to two, reassigning these three modules to our military engineering team so they can complete the three pending projects in matter of three months.

Again, I don't wish to underestimate your labor here, but I'm quite sure you can understand our priorities. I'll be looking forward to your response.
