Guten Tag Herr Sato. I am rather unpleased as you are too probably that we couldn't meet on short notice, I had an assignment on short notice, so I wasn't able to come. I would like you to propose the date of when the meeting will occur. As you said, we will meet on neutral ground, not too close to one-another's territory. I am very curious as to what can we get out of the dark and into the light. There have been some, how should I say..."incidents" which I think, since you are a Kusarian, you might be able to shed some light upon those by co-operating with me. There is only the equal benefit to both Rheinland and Kusari. That would be all, I am looking forward to your response, Herr Sato.
The date will be today, and the time for our meeting is now. Meet me at a place we have agreed upon before. Come alone, and come not as an officer of Rheinland Military, but as a Gerwald Klaus that has spoken to me before. I will wait for you there, all by myself, as promised. We will see how true are your words about equal benefits. If you want anything to get out of this, they better be.

Guten Tag, herr Sato. I finally have some news. I hope you are still able to help me. I reached for the LN First Fleet, regarding the guncam footage of the two Kempeitai assets. I was replied back by the fleet admiral himself, and explained how they cannot lend us footage due to restrictions, but we both should have seen that coming. It's still a win however, as they have provided me with the logs of the incident. I am sorry, but that's all we got for now. I will do my best and search for some more concrete evidence, as I have told you, I am a man of my word. I hope you can understand and until more evidence is provided, you can do with what has already been provided, I know it isn't much, but it will have to do for now. That is all, Herr Sato.
[LIBNAV 1]: I'm detecting another vessel.
[LIBNAV 1]: Kempeitai?!
[LIBNAV LTOC]: Move and detain.
[Kempeitai Asset Nodachi]: Rheinlandish vessel on scanners
[Kempeitai Asset Wakizashi]: Good Rheinlander scum
[Wakizashi]: Time to wipe it out
[Nodachi]: Let's slay this Rheinlander and begone from this sad excuse for a house.
[Nodachi]: Engaging the enemy
[LIBNAV LTOC] Any and all aggression will be met with equal force. You know what is going to happen.
[NON-COMBATANT]: [REDACTED]
[LIBNAV 1]: [REDACTED]
[LIBNAV LTOC]: [LIBNAV 1], [REDACTED], Handle the current aggressor.
[LIBNAV 1]: Roger that.
[LIBNAV 1]: [RHEINLAND VESSEL], regroup at the [LIBNAV LTOC], NOW

Gerwald-san...
I must admit that I am somewhat disappointed. What am I supposed to do with this? I need something, Gerwald-san. Something that can give us a clue, point us where to start. A photo, a face, radio chatter, navigational data... That censored audio log you have delivered to me is useless, not to mention that it can can hardly count as evidence.
I see that Libertonians refused to play ball. Well... Gaikokujin. Let me give you some advice. Spoken out of experience, if you will. If we want to get into bottom of this, we have to stop playing fair.
Herr Sato, I am pleased to inform you that, fortunately enough for us, Rheinland assets in Bering spotted the same two Kempeitai ships, and, of course, they have some nice visual evidence, at last. I have promised you that I would get you solid evidence, after all, I have a reputation to keep up. The guncam footage captured by the Rheinland lawful asset is in the attachment below. I hope now you can help me with this case.
Gerwald... May I call you Gerwald? How I wish I could share your enthusiasm...
The footage is clear. Painfully clear. Some may say it lacks system information, but even someone with half of their brain cells dead should be able to recognize the nebulae color, and pattern...
I ... well ... just don't know what to say... Should this tiny piece of digital information leak, we've got a full scale war on our hands.
Something's not right here. Transponder codes of those ships might be correct, but their registry... it's odd. See, maybe it matters none, but ... I don't know any branch of Kempeitai that would use such a naming convention. It also seems so... petty, so generic... so ... Gaijin.
Time to dig, Gaikokujin. I'll try my best, and you should too. However... digging into Kempeitai? Well... No promises.
