Konnichiwa,
Allow me to introduce myself first. My name is Sakurai Augus, and i am a Daimyo of the Augus Clan of the Blood Dragons. I understand that in the past our groups never felt any warm feelings towards each other, but, at the very least, we have tolerated each others' existance. But still - this is better than nothing, and, i suppose, we can start with this.
But let us get straight to the business, i doubt you're interested in my chit-chatting.
Right now, to ensure the expansion of our clan influence among other clans - we are interested in obtaining two 'Akegata" class Kusari container transports - it is time when we start focusing towards partial independance from the main branch, and that includes obtaining our own logistic vessels, and to me the said transports appear to be the best choice among all others. In exchange - we are willing to transfer a certain sum of sirius credits to your Neural Net account.
Also, i would like you not to inform our mutual friends from Naval Forces about our small contract - this might turn to some... unwanted consequences for your side.
I am looking forward to your answer. Long Live the Dragons!
Transmission terminated.
The Augus clan.
Thinking beyond thought, being of non-being,

Kon'nichiwa, Augus-kōhai,
you should feel honored that I took some of my precious time to bother with a message which my sale managers did not manage to look at without bursting out laughing or searching the next alcoholic beverage nearby.
Let us move on straight to the point: I cannot remember any Blood Dragons and especially not your clan, who were oppossed by the thought of harming our transports or escorts within Kusari. More so, your so-called Shogunate seemingly enjoys exorting my employees for money or resources you may consider useful to yourselves. I would not believe your claim of tolerance until I saw sufficient valid proof with my own eyes.
But let us get back to the reason why you originally contacted us. This "Augus Clan" you represent there wishes to expand their logistic fleet by two K7;P-19T "Akegata" Container Transports. If you had any real data about this type of vessels, you would be aware that all of them are produced in cooperation with Samura Heavy Industries and therefore any freshly produced vessels appear in both corporations' books. Even if this was not the case or we would be ready to sell off older versions of the Akegata, there is no reason at all for us to sell them off to yours, is there? A mere sum of a few hundred million sirius credits will not change this. We would be open to talk about repair payments for every loss of money or resources of any kind caused by the Blood Dragons we could find in our archives. As you can imagine, the estimated sum would be enormous. I suppose I do not have to also tell you the obvious, hai? Helping an enemy of the state in any way is one of the worst crimes oneself can take part at and the Blood Dragons would never be able to pay for the public damage such a deal could do to Kishiro Technologies. Take this the way you want but Kishiro Technologies will never help the Blood Dragons under these circumstances.
Anyway, hopefully you are not planning a strike against our operations in systems out of direct reach for the Naval Forces such as Okinawa now that we denied your request? I hope for you that this is not the case, the consequences would not be really pleasant.
Enough talking with you. Go and think about what you tried to do here and how to fix your issues without appearing like you have lost your sanity.
