Apologies for the delay, Rockford-san. Discussions regarding your request of equipment have been promoted in the admiralty, and it took some time to reach a good solution.

The KNF admiralty saw fit of leasing 10 units of J7P - 34 "Wyrm" Kusari Navy Light Fighter from our arsenals to the use of the ASF. They are accompanied by some stock equipment replacement for repairs and replacement of any damages sustained. I suggest you keep some in reserve, as we will not provide any additional units in the short term.

The Admiralty has also took into consideration releasing a procurement note on behalf of the ASF project for the purchase of a larger number of Hayabusa and Drone ships for the operations. These notes have been sent to your administration, and you may use them with civilian ship sellers when purchasing said vessels.

I hope this equipment is enough for you to start achieving results. You can find the KNF materials ready to be picked up on Planet Honshu.

With cordial regards
Kaisho-ho Katsuo Shimoe, Kusari Naval Forces.

==========================================
Hello, let me introduce myself. I am Fleet Admiral Jenifer Haussler, 2nd in command of the alliance. Right hand of Star Admiral Quinn Deathrow.
-She bows in respect-
We had to go into hiding after a large battle with the coalition. We have been hiding out at Dagger Outpost. It is a honor to talk to you. So many people here are tired and we are running out of supplies. That does not really matter right now. I'm here to reestablish our communications with The Republic Of Kusari. We are still interested in those ten "Wyrm" light fighters. We are willing to help you once we get more supplies going. We've lost many people... Have a good day sir.

End of Transmission

Kusari Naval Forces, Central Command HQ
Vice Admiral Nishiyama Kenzo

Good evening, Admiral Haussler. I am Vice Admiral Nishiyama Kenzo, of the Kusari Naval Forces.

I had to contact Rear Admiral Shimoe on any details about this transmission to even begin comprehending what I'm dealing with here. Some small organization pertaining to the ancient past of the House we represent, with a volatile presence and larger than life ambitions.

The Kusari Naval forces at the time saw fit to grant a bit of trust into the ideal of peace among the houses, and entrusted you with a task to see your potential. Unfortunately, no result came out of our placed trust, only silence. By your word, you have been burning your resources and efforts in an unprepared campaign somewhere else, against something else, and now return to bargain your "assistance" for war material.

The Republic may have become a democracy, but the Naval Forces are not a charity. Prove that your "assistance" is worth supporting, at last.
Fortunately for you, we still need that intel, so our offer stands. Bring us the data, and we may reactivate our lease and lending.
As a final remark, the KNF remain as solid has they have been, but it seems the ... Alliance has received a new wave of fresh officers in high command. We would also "politely request" an update on the new situation within your organization.

Nishiyama Kenzo out.
