I am Watanabe Hirotada, Daimyo of Honshu and head of the Watanabe Clan. The Shogunate, in all its wisdom, has entrusted my house with the task of retrieving the ceremonial bow artifact that is currently in your possession. Though deprived of facilities such as those of Sendai, my engineers and scientists at Hikone can perform an entirely satisfactory analysis of the object, and appraise its value to the interested parties; Among which I would also count myself. Thus its needless to say I feel a certain level of excitement in anticipation of the object's study.
Lacking knowledge on the movement of various hostile forces at your current position, I request that you be the one to select an opportune date and time for the transferal of the object into our custody. I will attempt to personally attend this meeting, but failing that, I will assign one of my Hatamoto to the task. Until such a time, I wish for your good fortune.
Signed,
Loyal Servant of the Shogun, Your Stalwart Friend Hirotada Watanabe Honor and Integrity
One of our expeditionary agents will arrive in the system shortly after the start of the allotted time window. As the object is by no means large, he will be travelling in a light fighter, to better evade any potential hazards. I will be watching his progress.
Signed,
Loyal Servant of the Shogun, Your Stalwart Friend Hirotada Watanabe Honor and Integrity
