Our contacts with our Kusarian partners has been cold to non-existent in the recent past. We would like to request Hogosha's help in a certain matter, however before I disclose any of it, I would like to know if anyone's still there.
Yours faithfully,

Konnichiwa, friend from a far away star.
The Association has grown poorer and stale in recent times, no longer the mark of the Hogosha influence and power with Kusari borders and beyond. A few remain, here and there, able to help on occasion. Most have turned to their own affairs, and seldom poke their noses around others.
An old man remains, in his simple affairs of fishing and dealing. If your accept, I can lend you an ear and be your conversation partner for the matter that you wish to develop upon.
May the Fortunes secure your path to greatness.

Both of our peoples are known for their appreciation for beauty. Kusari is known as home for some of the finest craftsmen in Sirius. And as it happens, we are currently in a dire need of services from someone who understands beauty as well as we do.
The Custodi are interested in buying a liner, an appropriately grand and magnificent one. We have set our eyes upon the ones manufactured by the Renzu Shipyards in Hiroshima, ones that you, I'm told, also use for your own purposes.
Now of course I would be surprised if Renzu agreed to sell such a piece of art to Corsairs, so we are looking towards Hogosha acting as our intermediary. We will of course provide you with an appropriate compensation, unless you have something else in mind.
I'm looking forward to your response.
Yours sincerely,

I see, a liner from the Renzu. Hard to find outside the well traveled roads, out of the hands of the most wealthy groups. Even more so, when you consider the maintenance constraints such a vessel imposes on their owners. Bear in mind this as you seek the highest luxuries the houses can provide.
A liner can be procured, and passed onto the Custodi eventually. It will take a while, and it will be a costly affair to handle. Are your people willing to own a favor to the Hogosha in return of this deed? Or do you prefer an more immediate exchange for the vessel?
May the Fortunes secure your path to greatness.
The Fisherman
We know what the Renzu liners are like, however this is for no one lesser than the Archon of Custodi. As you may imagine, highest degrees of splendor are in order.
Regarding repayment, the folk wisdom says that life without debts is easier. If you have anything that you'd like from us immediately, I'm sure we can accommodate your request.
Yours sincerely,

The splendor of the Archon, for this purpose you seek the vessel that would project his importance.
There is nothing that I or the Association require that the Custodi may provide at this moment. Therefore we something must be arranged in exchange.
Impress me.
Impress the Hogosha. May the Custodi perform a feat that may cause the awe of the Hogosha far and wide, and enforce the worth and thrust we have for our partners of Crete. I leave to your people on how to achieve this.
Succeed in getting my appraisal, and the vessel you seek will be yours, with no strings attached.
May the Fortunes secure your path to greatness.
