Konbanwa and greetings, good sir.
First off, let me express my curiosity about those stories you seem to have heard about us. Since you contacted us this way, I assume they are positive ones?
Second - and pardon my unkindness here - I am going to introduce myself as well. My name is Aramaki Hideo, Kaigun Daii of the 343rd. While our commanding officer is absent, I manage the foreign relations of our group.

I am quite surprised about your offer, although not in a negative way. I do like the Idea you bring to us. Our ship is in constant need of supplies, be it armaments or food. Even news from the systems away from the front are more than appreciated, as you might understand.

So, consider your transmission not only noted, but looked upon favourably. Should you require a list of the goods that Nagasaki needs the most, just use this freqency to ask for it. You should, furthermore, receive a data package with coordinates upon taking your first journey, which will provide you with the location of our base. It should be clear that this ship should stay secret both to the GRN as to the KNF, but I trust that the council won't betray the trust we put in it, as they never have in the past.

I am looking forward to meeting you on the flight deck bar, Venturer.

With high regards
Aramaki Hideo, Kaigun Daii
