Excuses for the radio silence. Our high command was centralizing the intel coming from you and from our fighter wings in Honshu. Despite our best efforts they made quick work of Shirosato. We only had time to rally whatever limited patrols we had in the area.
Now, I know we owe you, but we deem your price too steep. We don't have any ship of that type in our inventory, and even if we had, be sure we won't just give them away that easy. But I might have a plan that will get you what you need. As for the Stealth Systems, that's out of the question, but I can share you one of my contacts. He will be more than happy to provide them, for a price.
So, I propose we move on until your payment request becomes feasible. I want you and J, just the letter, to keep close to this group of renegades. Report your findings here.
