Dear Pilot of the [HA]-Tb|Fukujin
So, Let me start of by apologising for the transmission delay.

Anyway, i never caught your name, but i did enjoy the conversation we had; almost as much as that delicious rice.
But down to the point. We should continue our talks and defiantly iron out some more specific details on the different services we can provide each other, for a more mutually beneficial agreement.

In the meantime i was wondering if you could provide our personnel on Witcha some of that rice. One shipment would do, its just in my opinion, i believe they deserve something better than simple food rations.
We will gladly pay you for this.

Look forward to hearing from you soon.

Well met once again, Mr. Hawkins of Cryer Solutions. I am known as Hebishima, and I'm the representative of the Takarabune Conglomerate, a business enterprise from the Shikoku system.

I recall the interesting conversation we had in front of the sights of Planet Denver, home to many and varied laboratories and pharmaceutical companies of Liberty, many of them associated to Cryer itself. I apologize the lack of prompt response to your message until now.

We have spoken vaguely about many matters, namely the new products from Cryer that still required some legal clearance in Kusari for transportation and commercialization. I doubt that Cryer is not able to show those in power the virtues of its products by itself, but we are nevertheless pleased that you decided to request our support in such endeavor.

You desired some assistance in getting those new pharmaceutical products from Akta to be commercialized in Kusari, in addition to a formal support of Cryer efforts against the drug cartels of the Outcasts and their regional goons.

In return, I suggested that Cryer could see if its political clout in Liberty, or its shipping capabilities at least, would provide us with access to cheaper market sources of Liberty produced firearms and related ammunition and equipment. We at Takarabune Conglomerate, and the Hogosha at large, have a market interest in the arms industry and trade in Kusari, and the existent weak relation with DSE and it's affiliates prevent us to use our potential to the maximum.

As for the cooperation between security forces of your company and our own and our fellow hogosha associates, I would say that our interests are aligned in Kusari. For the most part of the perceived hostiles, our collaboration would come naturally.

----

Finally, regarding that delivery to "Wichita", I'm afraid its my first time I am faced with this name. Where is this location that you wish us to provide with some of the best Rice that Kusari has to offer, and at what price?

I hope to hear from your soon with more details on these matters.

May the Fortunes bless you in these last days of the year.
Hebishima, Takarabune Conglomerate

Greetings Sir.

Let me say that we can defiantly make some sort of deal.
Its is a a problem for us to have our cargo restricted in Kusari, especially given the outcasts influence in the House. It would be good if we were able to Legally transport our goods.

We would require Stabiline, Human Organs and Synthetic Marijuana to be legalised if it would be possible. It would allow us to carry our goods undisrupted, helping the effort and also increacing profits which, you more than anyone else will understand, is a very good thing indeed.

You say you require weapons? Given our position, it is not unheard of us to transport these items....
Would side arms suffice? or do you require more specialised weapons? Perhaps we could research some more.... Devastating weapons for Hogosha.... To the outside world research would carry on as normal.... We would be able to create some bio-weapons for you to use. Does this interest you?

About the rice, there is a station known as Witcha Orbital R&D which could use some delicious Rice. It is located in Kansas and orbits Planet Witcha. Bring how ever much you want, and charge a reasonable price.
