Miss Ikeda.
This other group which you speak about would be the "Voltaic Junkers". They chose a different lifestyle from that of the Junker Congress, as is their right.
They formed somewhat recently under an individual named "Kyle Vaughn".
We don't know much about their operations or goals. I've had a few select encounters with them myself. I have to admit that I am not too fond of a few select pilots in their ranks due to the behaviour I witnessed, such as harrassing a female LSF pilot over her appearance. Personal and subjective experiences aside, I believe in peoples' right for a chance for betterment and improvement of the self.

As for a meeting with the Arbiter, I would like to apologise and ask for your patience. Arbiter Tiltman is currently indisposed and I handle any and all communication that would normally be his task. He is likely to become available again within a few days, though I can't make any promises. The Congress holds a great interest in talks such as you proposed. Sadly, they can't begin just yet.

I would like to attach a minor update on the work on the "graveyard". We've hit a bit of a snag. Two large wrecks drifted into one another and are now entwined. They began to rotate due to the collision and we have to either blow up the corresponding parts before they spin out of control or try to slow their rotation before work can continue. The former would be safer but a yet undetermined amount of salvage would be lost in the process and the field would need to be mapped again. The latter yields greater gains but takes a bit of time to implement. From what I read here, operations on whatever the local surveyors decide will begin in roughly ten hours. Should they go for an explosive solution, then they are tasked with warning both the station's administratory department as well as local pilots.

Regarding the work on the salvage's metalurgic composition, we have dispatched a few experts. They should arrive within a few hours, give or take. Their ship carries enough equipment to analyse the material. We can't bring a whole smelter to you without either installing one on Kinkaku-Ji or setting up a base of our own but we can make sure that we know what we are salvaging here. Any and all analysis results will be shared with you immediately but the tests need to take place aboard the experts' frigate, as it is custom fitted for that very purpose.

Signed;
Rell Harrow.
