Subject: [color=#66FFFF]So-called "infiltration"

[color=#FFFFFF] Mister Yamakazi, with all due respect I do not understand what you are actually accusing us of this time. Do you claim that the territory to the galactic north of Ames Research station (between the station and the jump gate, to be exact) to be Kusarian? Last I checked the system of Kepler was classified as "Independent", and the Republic of Liberty never claimed any area within that system to be Libertonian space, nor am I aware of such claims made by the Kusarian side.

If you are concerned with reasons of our presence in that area, I can understand that. Furthermore, I have no reason to conceal the purpose of our presence there. First of all, I'm sure that you are aware that Kepler system is some sort of a smuggling hub, therefore our presence there is necessary in order to prevent unwanted cargo from being delivered to Liberty space.

Our presence in the area at that specific time was caused by some other reason. The transport vessel in question (the one that was on the guncams) is an Ageira transport, which had come to Ames research station from Kusari space. The vessel had been badly damaged, and the captain said that he couldn't even make out who attacked it. We directed it to Colorado for repairs and decided to escort it to the Shikoku jump gate, in order to make sure that the ship would reach Kusari space. From there it falls under jurisdiction of your law-upholding organisations to keep it safe. Besides, the vessel was carrying jump gate and trade lane components. Would your government want such valuable cargo to be lost? Since there was a possibility of pirate attack, it was our duty to keep the vessel safe.

Again, there was no intent of using the jump gate on our side, we simply made sure that the vessel would deliver the expected cargo (that would be jump gate/trade lane parts) through Kepler to Kusari territory safely.
