Your new friends seem to have a rather odd interest in our cause, odd enough to make me question the legitimacy of their good intents, but I'd say the idea is at least worth the risk. While an alliance with the Core will not present any changes in our lives in space - as the Core operates in entirely different parts of Sirius than our ships do - the listed things will definitely change our lives outside space.
Gadgets, weapons, technology? They're offering us -this- in return for cardamine, drinks and shigeakiki? Sounds way too good to be true, especially considering that they can probably acquire cardamine from the Outcasts that they admittedly are in "neutral terms" with. This whole deal sounds like a "too good to be true" situation and whoever disagrees with me on that is encouraged to speak up.
I've nothing against the Core, but this whole thing sounds very unrealistic. I wonder what Matriarch Kiri thinks of this.

Yuuko-san,
Jack Daniels did seem sincere with his intentions and gave me this gift as a sign of goodwill.
I could investigate this matter more closely and arrange for a new meeting. Perhaps I can take other Sisters with me. More people means more free stuff. I am honestly not that great with all this diplomacy, but I like all the free things I am getting lately. His robot butler is awsome too. He shoots up the dishes instead of washing them. If all the Kusari women started doing that, they will never let us near the kitchen ever again. Total victory! So at least the robot is sympathetic to our cause.
I'm not much into diplomacy or talks of similar matter myself, as you know, but the idea of setting up another meeting so that I can judge what this Jack Daniels of the Core is like is not bad at all. We should get in touch with him and set this up. We could even bring some cardamine or shigeakiki to them as a trade for some of their tech, would surely be a start to our possible alliance.

You have nothing to apologize for.
By no means, it was not my intent to rush you in any way. I myself have been quite busy as of late. Big plans and such.
But, I digress. Indeed, we should meet at a location that you actually, already have. There is an engraving on the clip of the gun I gave you. A set of coordinates that will show you the way. I sincerely hope you haven't lost it.
Make sure to bring some of that Shige or whatchumacallit. It certainly is unique. In return, I'll bring some samples of the hardware that we produce and sell.
Naturally, out little transactions need to remain on the down low, as there is an infinite number of individuals that will try to take out two birdies with one rock.
I hope I will see you and yours very soon, Ms. Misaki.
Daniels, out.
~Yours Truly, Jack Daniels, Guildmaster of the Core and STILL the most hated person in the Omicrons.

And yes, I do have that clip he spoke off. So erm, guess we go on a road trip. Lets pack enough booze to get us there and back. Have you ever tried those tiny sandwiches with salmon? We should bring those too.

Kobanwa, Sisters,
We don't often get a family picture of us but today I took these two, well, the two I felt were best and we did it in enemy territory. What can I say, we rule the roost!
Maruso Michiya has displayed the skill and loyalty to the Sisterhood. Therefore it has been decided to introduce her to the inner council as Senjōzaki.

I'm happy to report tonight's activities. We've managed to assemble a very impressive convoy. A symbol of our logistic prowess.
We had a Pilgrim, a Prison Liner, a Shukensha and the newest addition to our transport fleet, a weird tube/rocket ship. A gift from the IMG, believe it or not.
Our cargo consisted for Cardamine headed straight for Liberty. On the way back, we "relocated" "willing" "refugeees" to their new "homes". All in all, it went pretty well.
We had a nomad at one point trying to poke holes in the Bolzano at one point, but it's efforts were in vain. All cargo and transports reached their destination, relatively unharmed.
I'll attach some footage. Michiya, over and out.

I'm happy to report that I've gone racing this past weekend. And it went surprisingly well.
The weapon of choice was the "Mi Sake". A highly modified and very fast Hayabusa fighter. Despite it's lack of offensive capabilities and me finishing fourth in the final endurance race, I did managed to nab two first places. Surely, I could've done much better, but this just in, your girl Michiya won the event.
The highlight of the event was the endurance race I mentioned. I kept clocking laps, because I had not prepared for combat. Must've been twenty or thirty. But, eventually, I got clocked myself. There was this man, Willy.
He was both a skilled racer and also a combatant. I was bested in combat. But that was not enough to dethrone me from the pole.
The opposition was fierce indeed. But in the end, through both blind luck and skill, I indeed prevailed.
Also, a suggestion. We should host races of our own. They will be very good for the overall morale of the sisters. Maybe we can involve our friends and allies as well. Whatever the case may be, all three of us at that race did good.
Sayonara, sisters!
Sender: Furutani Izanami Recipient: Gen'an Chrysanthemums Subject: 9th position in the race, but bigger reward than expected.
Go aisatsu sisters, I'd like to happily inform and report to all of you that not only I have one over 200mil credits, but also have a Docking Module in my hands. No this time I haven't stole it secretly, I earned after a hard long race. The beginning of the race was very disappointing and I couldn't able to perfect it in time and I finished last, the second race it was frustrating but I fought on by using my countermeasures against the Cruise Disruptors, but finished third .. even though it was suspicious but victory nonetheless. The rest was a struggle and a warpath decision by the organizers, of course when it comes to Bretonia, anything can happen .. even explosions. At the end of the day I was ambushed by one of the racers and wanting to take me out, suddenly I was eliminated as a 6th survivor on the last race. However I was rewarded as a sign of sportsmanship, which I am honored, however I cannot take this Docking Module for myself, as I am no skilled enough to know such technology as it's used, I decided to give it to the higher ranks and use it for the sisterhood. I am honored to be part of the race and to be part of this new family since the day I joined and proved my loyalty towards all of you. Arigato.
