Re: Recent Events

Konichiwa,

Welcome back, Shinji, I trust that business went well on your trip. Well, you asked for a status report on recent events and I've finally had time to sit down and work one up.

Renzu ship sales are up and we have quite a few orders for our new liner and all feedback from our customers has been pleasant. With the success that we have had with the liner there has been talk around the offices and yards of possibly obtaining the schematics for the venerable Kusari Explorer. If we could purchase the rights it would likely be possible to update it's systems and market it to more of Sirius.

I have also attempted comunications with the KNF and Detroit Munitions. I, along with the CEO, beleive we may be able to purchase rights of passage from the KNF to Oita for the use of our weapons research laboratories. So far we have recieved no word on that. Our negotiations with them about the testing seem to have taken a turn for the better, however, we are still looking to achieve better results. I haven't heard back from Detroit Munitions, yet, either. My comunique to them was pleasant but obscure and it is my hope that they both understand and enjoy the message.

I hate to finish my report on a bad note, but I have had some disturbing reports. Apparantly every one of our shipments of Ki light fighters has been hijacked. Not one dealer in Sirius has the ship in stock now. I made an appology to the people of Liberty, as there was a large que of them waiting to purchase the missing models. I also offered a small reward, strictly from my funds, for any information leading to the repossesion of our ships. Unfortunately, as of now, the only information I have recieved suggests that the Xeno's took them. That begs the question, how did they get into Kyushu to steal the shipments there, though. Currently I am at a loss as to what has happened but I will keep my eyes and ears open.

Yours Sincerely,

Kei Marwick, Field Research Analyst, Head of Research and Development.
