My name is Ryo Kase and I am the Minister of Research and Development of Crayter Republic.
I must say that you may be surprised for this message but I think you may be interested in our offer.
As you know , the Republic passed through it's Third Exodus and now we settled in the Coronado System where we are rebuilding our civilization and I am happy to report that we are making progress.
In our quest to retake our home and to rebuild our Crayterian civilization, we found ourselves in need of scientists and medical personnel and here is where you name appeared from an old captain of the ISE ship "Copernicus", which gave you high recommendations.
I know that there is a high chance that you are now engaged in different projects but I am asking you to allow us to present you our Republic , our fight and also our sorrows and pain and we hope that you will aid us in our struggle against the enemies of Sirius.
Saying that, I am inviting you to Planet Yuma, Coronado , on the island of New Thessalonica , along with a tour of New Astarte where Yuma University and Aithne Research Academy and our main medical island of New Hippocrate and also a tour of the Tripoli Continent where I am sure you are going to find amazing flora and fauna, specific to our amazing planet.
I am awaiting your response so we can arrange travel to our system.

She smiles a bit
I must say that after a day of work in a place where I'm not always appreciated, seeing your transmission is quite refreshing. While the Copernicus doesn't ring a bell, I'd be curious to hear who it is that dropped my name upon you.
She sips her wine before continuing
I know of the Crayter Republic but know little about it. I mean, I haven't even seen any of it yet I already feel welcomed. That's a feeling I've not had since my exile from Rheinland but.....that's another story.
I would like to see what you have to offer as it sound so beautiful. It will have to fix my transponder code for your people as it seems to generate hostility from patrols. Also, with me comes my son, Benjen. I am all he has. I would be curious to see what educational opportunities that he could get amongst your people.
I will begin preparations to make my way to the Coronado System. Is there somewhere that I could get an escort? I'm not so sure I want my son on Barrier Gate Station. I fly a Sunburst freighter so if the Republic needs goods, I can bring a few. Yes, I welcome this opportunity. I will provide you wish a dossier of my credentials upon arrival.
I must say that I am very happy and pleased that you are looking into our offer. I would wish to offer you the benefits of travelling to Coronado in our "Gaia-II" and with your permission we could drive your freighter to Yuma if you desire.
If not , I can ask Fleet to send a Nyx patrol to assist you all the way from Houston to Yuma, with a small stop on Barrier Gate.
About the offer, you will find more about it when you reach Yuma and after the small tour, I hope you will want to accept my invitation to dinner along a few other Crayterian officials.

I must say, Mr. Kase, that I'm somewhat taken aback by all of this. I mean, for some time now, nothing, and now all of this. I don't know what the Gaia-II is but it must be nicer than my Sunburst so I will accept that offer on behalf of my son and I. It will give me time to get myself together and freshen up a bit before I tour what you have to offer. It also gives me time to clean up my dossier a bit....and prepare my best dress.
If all goes well, I'll put my Houston condo on the market. I look forward to dinner and our meeting.
Good day to you. This is Captain Kara Gordon, of the Gaia-II, a "Dorado" class luxury vessel. Our CEO informed us of the minister's intentions and I was relayed to set up a time and date for when to pick you up from Houston. Considering Liberty traffic, I was thinking today, sometime between 12:00 and 21:00 Standard Sirius Time? Please do let me know what time would you prefer, or if something other than my suggestion would be suitable.
On a side note, Minister Kase sends his apologies for no longer being in contact for the moment. His duties required his focus elsewhere.
K. Gordon,

Good Evening, Captain,
I have been at Bethlehem Station in Pennsylvania doing some house calls for the Zoners so please excuse my delay. I am here with my son where I will await your arrival. The time frame that you gave will work just fine.
As you can see, I have CC'd this to Mr. Kase. In short, I have been researching the Crayter people. I see them as survivors. It is something that we have in common. When we meet, I will tell you more of my personal history. I think you will find it similar in some ways.
That said, Cpt. Gordon, I will be here at Bethlehem Station. I have with me what I will need. I await your arrival.
