Konnichiwa, Friends and Allies of the Shogunate. We are the Twin Dragons, and we require your assistance in an upcoming project. The Shogun has given the blessing for a plan codenamed "Asaruto-sen", the acquisition, modification and operation of a 'Bustard' class carrier.
****For Order Overwatch, O'Rhu Eyes Only****
Friends of the Order, Several things are needed that you can provide and help with. As Mito's Docks are currently occupied with maintenance of the few operational Togo class ships along with Gunboats and Cruisers, and construction of the latter two types, and Kyoto does not have the capacity for such a large ship, we seek permission to utilize Order facilities for the refit and modification. Any supply and engineering support you may be able to provide would also be welcomed.

****For VWA Eyes Only****
Friends of the Widerstand, We are currently working on a planned Assault vessel, and we need some resources that the VWA is well placed to acquire. A delivery port has not yet been decided, as other factors have not been settled. However, once a delivery port has been settled, you will be notified. A draft list of items required is included here.
cargo needed Wrote:Ablative Armor Plating
Black Market Munitions
Light Arms
Military Vehicles
Side Arms

Your assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated and seen as yet another sign of the close relationship between our organizations.

Daimyos Nagahide,
More information on your planned assault vessel would be appreciated, but when you've concluded the quantity of each material required as well as point of delivery, the Widerstandsarmee's Logistics Division will do its best to aid your efforts.

CONTENT: Konnichiwa, honorables Dragons. I hope you are well and safe!
O'Rhu Cell has not forgotten your timely help in the matters we've asked you with not so long ago and is more than pleased to return a favor for its friends. The task indeed is great and we will be glad to help in any way we can. For that to take place, more details would be of help, naturally.
Meanwhile, to make your decisions easier, I can say right of the bat that O'Rhu's Logistic Nucleus can assist your own in terms of hauling materials needed from and to the desired locations, some escorts can be dispatched provided time and location to make a safer voyage for both our transport ships and, based on the Order-BD treaty, we can also provide you with some more special equipment, namely EOCS and GADS systems to be retrofitted on the civilian carrier. Those two systems will be later fabricated on Thabit station, if requested so.
Respectfully,
Jason Orack, Co-Director O'Rhu Cell

Alright, I assume that acquisition of Bustard-class carrier has already been accomplished, so we will not have to build one from scratch. If this is not the case, notify us immediately: simple refit comes much easier than constructing whole ship from the scratch. We will also require list of necessary upgrades, as well current status of the hull. While O'Rhu has fairly active logistic flotilla available at a whim, Order Overwatch would like also to discuss how we can get even on this deal. We are open for suggestions, and we will make sure to notify you if we are in particular need of something our dear Allies can provide.
Konnichiwa. My name is Himawari Niwa, Roju of the Dragons.
First of all, i apologize for the lack of contact. Some recent events have drawn Daimyos Nagahide and Nagahide Niwa away on some urgent business. I am currently handling this plan in their stead.
We have a Bustard hull already, fully functional and operational. As already intimated, we require dock space and materials. The VWA already has the list of materials they can acquire. What we could use from the Order is Hull Segments and Robotic Hardware.
The main focus of the refit will be modification of the existing bays and storage areas to accommodate Dragon Marines, their equipment and assault vessels. Secondary focus would be examining the possibility of replacing the current shielding system with a stronger setup.
We would like to first settle the dock use, so we await your decision on that.
Your carrier will be admitted to dock no. 3 and will share it with one of our recon cruisers currently undergoing repairs and internal refit of onboard systems. That means you will have frequent visitors from Order engineers, however as you may find they will not interfere in your operations as long your conduct is safe for our shipyard as a whole.

Greetings again Daimyos,
It's good to hear again from you Dragons. We received your request and fortunately these materials are easily acquired in Order bases. Providing you with these materials should be easy for our logistics division, yet what we need now is a final confirmation and clarification as to where and when do you want these materials delivered.
Also, in any case, do not hesitate if you have any requests for advanced equipment, as mentioned by Co-Director Orack, the EOCS and GADS systems. The recent treaties between our parties facilitate the processes for these requests, thus in any case feel free to put in a request.
Respectfully,
Daniel Wright, Co-Director O'Rhu Cell
