My apologies for the later-than-promised transmission. I have drafted something of a treaty of mutual aid regarding our respective operations within the Sigma-13 system where our regular patrols overlap.
The points I have planned out are listed below;
(1) The Vereinigte Widerstandsarmee and Watanabe Kazoku will either at reasonable request of the other party or mutual need, come to the other's aid against the following entities (within Sigma-13):
Corsairs
Rheinland Military/Police
Kusari Naval Forces/State Police
Kempetai/Buro der Marineintelligenz
Unioners (Allies of Corsairs)
Hogosha
Samura Industries
Kishiro Technologies
(2)The Vereinigte Widerstandsarmee and Watanabe Kazoku may, if possible, offer trade goods and valued commodities between the bases Hikone, Honshu; and Bruchsal, Frankfurt. This is to prevent lengthy jaunts between each organization's respective home space.
(3) While the respective two organizations cannot directly aid the other in their respective revolutionary plight, it is my hope that common ground may be reached despite our differences in undermining our shared trouble: Rampant Corporate Corruption.
Please, Honorable Shogun, let me know if you've any problems or anything to address with the draft. I will eagerly await your reply.
My encounter with you in the mists of the Sigma-13 nebula was most fortunate, and I see that dark times await both the Blood Dragons and the Bundschuh.
Ever since I learned about your organization, I was personally sympathetic towards your vision and plight, for it reflects our own to a reasonable extent. With that said, it is only natural that we aid each and other, at least in this limited, yet very important patch of space.
I find all the points you suggested to be agreeable, and I can promise the support of my men against the factions you listed.
Hikone base and your own home Bruchsal, would benefit greatly, if trade was to flow freely between them. However, I must ask you to maintain a strict level of secrecy, and not reveal our positions to other factions. We will of course, do the same.
There is one final point I must mention. I am not willing to share the reason, but I would appreciate if you maintained a neutral stance to all Gas Miners Guild vessels, while you operate in Sigma-13 or Kusari space.
If you find that to be agreeable, then I officially agree to all points listed.
We accept the terms. Our forces already remain neutral and non-aggressive to the Gas Miner's Guild due to mere ease of operation through the Sigma-13 system. We will not initiate any hostile action towards their forces, convoys, and operations.
I hope we will continue to find common ground in future operations and meetings between our groups.
