Konnichiwa Director Voss, we thank you for your invitation to a joint expedition. However I am sorry to say that we cannot spare additional pilots for reassignment at the moment, but you may encounter some of our expeditionary forces out there. These units have passed beyond our standard communications range, and may be unaware of your arrival.

I am sending you a 'friendlies' code with my own identifiers, which will confirm our co-operative status once sent to any K.N.F that may cross your course.

May we survive the storm,
Acting Bakuryō-chō taru Kaishō Nagata,
Kusari Naval Forces.
