To whom it may concern,
I apologize for the unexpected and abrupt transmission, and respectfully greet you. My name is Nick Stenn, and I represent a group known as the Forlorn Hope. Who we are and what we do is not a matter of importance for this conversation, as I would like to open discussion about obtaining a single Blossom VHF from you. One of my new recruits, Mai Saeki, was raised and mentored by a member of your organization, Reiko Abe. My intent is to purchase her a ship she knows well and finds comfortable as well as familar, to better enhance her capabilities in flight.
To this end, I would like to discover if it is possible to acquire such a ship, and if so, what the price of it would be. I hope to hear from you soon, and wish you a pleasant day further.
Yours sincerely, Knight Captain Stenn
The Forlorn Hope
Kon'nichiwa Captain Stenn. The Empress isn't going to bother with your message herself so I am here to talk about this with you.
It is uncommon to have an to us unknown group of people contacting us about our vessels and such requests raise a lot of questions among our advisors. Therefore I would want to clarify a few things before this:
Who are the Forlon Hope? What do you do and who do you usually work with?
Assuming by your words Mai Saeki was raised as one of our sisters. Do you have a stable Cardamine supply for her then or did she remain among our civilian part?
I suppose you already realized that it is indeed possible to acquire one of our Blossom-class fightercrafts, yet we are unwilling to give it out to some sort of stranger who could work with our enemies. We can talk about the price once we received the necessary, hopefully satisfying information.

Miss Amaia,
Of course we would be willing to share the requested information. I apologize for my rudeness in the previous transmission. The Forlorn Hope are a private mercenary corporation that offers a wide range of services ranging from scouting work through to large scale military action. We work with a broad spectrum of clients, ranging from the Liberty Navy, all the way through to the Omicron Research Group. I will confess I do not know who your enemies are, but can admit we have yet to be contracted for anything in Kusari space itself.
Concerning Mai, she was raised by the previously mentioned GC member, yet remained civilian, having merely been raised and trained by Reiko. We do not have a supply of Cardamine for her, yet fortunately we do not need one either. If there is anymore information you require, we will gladly provide it, so long as it does not compromise secure information.
I can affirm that I am glad to hear the Blossom snub-craft is available for purchase under the right conditions. Finally, I forward an apology to your Empress if she was offended by me attempting to contact her directly. I still have much to learn about the customs of the Kusarian people.
Yours sincerely, Knight Captain Stenn
The Forlorn Hope
Kon'nichiwa again, Captain Stenn. Do not worry, our Empress didn't feel offended by this. It's an almost common mistake people do.
The forwarded information is interesting. So you work for whoever has an agreeable contract for you, may it be the Liberty Navy or the Order. This brings us to a problem. We are not willing to give out our technology to a member of a group which might end up working for the Republic of Kusari or the Imperial Kusarians in exile. While we are happy to see that your newest recruit was raised by one of our sisters she still remains just a civilian. Golden Chrysanthemum technology is rather unfamiliar for her then as only the ones in active service for our movement gain access to our technology and not the civilians residing planetside or at one of our hideouts.
Consider your request to acquire one of our vessels as denied.
The advisors do not wish this deal to happen so it will not. Hopefully this doesn't effect a possible cooperation in the future between the Forlon Hope and the Golden Chrysanthemum as this is nothing against you or Mai-san personally but just simple business.
