Howdy.
Chief of Security Operations for Synth Foods, Robert "Red" Edwards, atcha service. I'm not sure we've really spoken before, but that ain't stop me before, and it sure ain't gonna stop me now. It's no little known secret that we're not exactly friends of the Kusari bureaucracy in general and the Samura, uh, hegemony in particular. And, unless I'm reading this dossier backwards, you're not exactly big fans either. So, I figure there's no reason why we can't at least have a little chat, see if we can't help each other out a little. Something something enemy of an enemy, you get the gist. I'll keep the channel open if you're interested in talking more about this, eh, 'opportunity'.
Lemme know. I'll be around.

Kon'nichiwa, Mister Edwards. Your message is quite surprising, it is rare for Gaijins to contact us, more so for corporations. But sure, we can have a little chat.
⧫ Your guess
You guessed correctly, my dear. We indeed oppose Samura Heavy Industries and its minions for their methods. It is not unknown that they are abusing the traditionalistic culture of Kusari in a twisted way, forcing through their will since centuries already. While they have lost ground within the recent decades, they are still one of the major evildoers within Kusari.
From my knowledge, Synth Foods has issues with one of their most hilarious vassals, the Farmer Alliance. While the Rice industry surely offers a lot of people a workplace, it is simply ignorant to believe that no alternatives such as Synth Foods famous products should be on the open market.
Well, I suppose you already can guess that we share a few common.. ah, let's call it rivals.
Let me take a guess myself then, given you are the Chief of Security, you surely have to make sure Samura and Farmer Alliance vessels are not bothering you in Kusari and beyond. Why does this look to me like you would love to have additional guns pressuring both parties a little bit more where you need it? Satisfy my curiousity, will you?
Looking forward to your reply.
Signed, Mi Minami, your local "I love annoying the Naval Forces".

Howdy miss Minami.
Ah, glad to get a response so quick. I'll also admit, you're a bit better at the guessing game than some of your compatriots.
You've basically hit the nail on the head, dear miss, although I'll say that it goes beyond just a bit of rooty-tooty-point'n'shooty this time around. We're looking into a wider, sort of long-term cooperation with the groups in Kusari that we think've got their head on straight, which honestly at this point basically means anyone that would sooner kick a Samura executive through the nearest airlock than sit down 'n' have tea with 'em. So yes, while having a few guns on their transports' tails would be a good thing to see, seeing some of their rice shipments taken off the market, or their distribution centers hit, or even just damage against the Government itself will do the trick.
We're looking to invest in the region long-term, and so in return we'd be offering basically anything you would need. If you can deliver on the former, we can offer you anything from food shipments to full-on Biodomes produced at-cost wherever you'd need. Of course, if anyone looks or asks, you stole them, eheh. And between you and me, slap the right customs label on a cargo can, and anything becomes a 'food shipment' if you catch my drift. Call it a blank check. I think we still have the money to cash those.
Lemme know if this interests ya, miss. I'll be around.

Kon'nichiwa again, Mister Edwards. I can be even faster if I want to. Maybe that's because I have nothing to do right now and sit in my quarter, drinking a bit. Anyway, your message.
⧫ An interesting offer
We barely talked and you already try to lure me in with a charming offer? Admitted, it is very tempting. Let me tell you that this will not just raise my interest, I will make it clear to the Sisterhood that we have another task to do, here and there, at the odd timing. Sounds like we have just found another reason to harass them, maybe even more frequently now? Did I mention I blew up their base in New Tokyo orbit?
Oh, it will be fun to focus more on Samura again, I hope I get the permission for this. I bet I do anyways.
Now, Mister Edwards, we will come back to you if we need anything - or found a poor lost Samura soul that needed special treatment.
