I am sending this message, because - despite being affiliated company - we do not follow Samura common practice of harassing Synth Foods Inc. (and other rivals of Samura Heavy Industries) vessels outside house space. I wonder if we can work out any sort of neutrality here. We are aware of the hostility between you both, that had been lasting for centuries.
Sometimes things that seem to be easy are not so easy after deeper analysis. Yes, we are working under Samura colours, but were you even thinking why such a small company have joined such a moloch that Samura is? KTA had started as a bunch of people from Kyushu, then some people of Tomioka have joined. We had no ties, being neutral to both Samura and Kishiro. But then, something has changed. We have joined Samura because being afraid of Hogosha and Farmers Alliance's harassment.
Just imagine what would Samura do, having a freelance trading company from Kyushu and Tomioka, not being affiliated with them. Do you think they would accept such thing? Fat chance, I would say.
The politics are a very delicate matter and even with sending this message we risk a lot from Hogosha and Farmers Alliance's side. If they knew what about we wrote, they would harass us very hard, eventually putting us away from our home in Kusari.
Also, we are bound by Kusari-Bretonia Trade Agreement, but I am not sure if such document can provide peace between us.
