Subject:Affirmation of Working Relations
Konnichiwa, esteemed members of the Hogosha,
My name is Uehara Kazuki, I am regional manager for Orbital Spa & Cruise's operations in Kusari and I have been appointed spokesperson for Orbital Spa & Cruise for this communique.
It has been a while since Orbital Spa & Cruise have contacted the Hogosha. If my understanding is correct, the Hogosha Alliance has somewhat taken a back seat to representing your people. We have had cordial working relations in the past, especially with private auctions held in conjuction with the Corsairs on the Luxury Liner Hawaii. On our side, there has been major corporate restructuring in the aftermath of the Gallic war. The board of directors at Orbital Spa & Cruise have decided that it is due time for us to attempt to re-establish contact with the Hogosha to determine the situation and our current working relationship.
Consider this message a reaffirmation of our working relationship as well as an opportunity for both sides to present themselves. We understand our position as outsiders in your house. However, we have had good dealings in the past and we hope to cooperate with the Hogosha on future projects.
We have much to discuss if a favorable reply is received.
Regards,
Uehara Kazuki
Regional Manager: Kusari, Orbital Spa & Cruise
There is no such matter as taking the back seat for the entire of the Hogosha Alliance, an individual Syndicate however might display less of an interest into the Hogosha's daily business with Orbital Spa & Cruise over the simplicity of different points of views and focuses set by the Syndicates themselves.
We are glad to hear from Orbital Spa & Cruise again, following the Mackinac disaster, it appeared as if your company settled on avoiding Kusari for the time being, with just logistical vessels passing through.
The business on the Hawaii plays a crucial role in our relationship and business on it shall continue as before. The Sumiyoshi Alliance, but also the Hogosha Alliance as a whole can guarantee our continued business relation on board of the Hawaii.
We know the tragic loss of the Mackinac likely made you wary of assigning a new Liner to Kusari space, but we would encourage you to do so. This time, any meetings between higher officials of our law enforcement or your company representatives with us will be held in utmost secrecy without possibly endangering another asset of either side.
If Orbital Spa & Cruise has interest in intensifying their business within Kusari once more, please inform us and we will gladly discuss this matter with you further.
In addition, we might come to you about the idea of acquiring a second Liner to be operated by ourselves. While currently this is just a point of discussion between several families, we might require your assistance at given time.
With best regards,
- Masaru Sera, President of the Nikkyo Consortium, Spokesman of the Hogosha Alliance

Konnichiwa, Masaru-san,
Your assumption of wariness is correct. The board of directors at the moment are hesitant too much into Kusari. Perhaps that may change now that there is support from the Hogosha. I will relay this message of confidence to the board of directors and inform you if any subsequent action is taken.
At the moment, the main concern for Orbital Spa & Cruise is the upcoming elections in Kusari. The diplomatic stance of the government may change at a moment's notice. A more conservative Kusarian government may dampen our efforts in the region. At the same time, a more open Kusarian government may cause rivalries and other problems. It is in Orbital Spa & Cruise's best interests that the local economic situation remains in the hands of local artisans. An enroaching Synth Foods presence will harm the local industries. We would rather quality Kusarian produce over artificially flavored paste.
I understand if you may be hesistant for outsiders to probe into the internal politics of your house. But let it be known that you may count on Orbital Spa & Cruise to provide....services and benefits for whichever political party that may be in the Hogosha's good graces. In exchange for these benefits of the potentially financial kind, Orbital Spa & Cruise hopes to have its own set of perks. That offer will always be on the table. Although we do understand if you may reject it.
As for the liners, I am sure we can provide the proper furnishing and outfitting. You may contact us about it at your convenience.
We are curiously watching the development of Kusari's political future ourselves, therefore it is only understandable that a company like yours, which acts beyond any house borders, is concerned with such developments and their economic impact.
While Orbital Spa & Cruise might receive a hit following the success of a less 'compatible' political party, we are more than confident in our own ties and connections deeply intertwined with Kusari in general can prevent any worst-case scenarios for you or our business relation. This would guarantee the status quo to be more or less preserved.
If your company desires to assist the possibility of expanding your freedoms and projects in Kusari , you can indeed help us out.
Ryuu Majima, Patriarch of the Majima Family, the largest of our Syndicates, successfully threw the Majima Party into the race. While his methods are far from conventional, he is a trustworthy entity and earned the respect of many within and outside of the Hogosha Alliance. His huge financial resources for example are put to use by financing the most profitable Bounty Board within Kusari's borders.
Following a successful election of the Majima Party into the Kusari Cabinet, we can influence any future deals regarding Orbital Spa & Cruise far more directly than at this moment. Such influence can be used to find mutually beneficial ways to fortify our organization's continuous relationship. In order to assist the Majima Party, if you desire to do so, we encourage all your employees with Kusari origin to enlist on the Kusari Citizen Registry until the deadline tomorrow and make them aware of the financial benefits a success of the Majima Party can be for everyone, from the shareholders to the small part-time worker.
Naturally, you are free to reject this offer but for the development of a more stable partnership, one which might extend far beyond the Artifact trade on the Hawaii, we urge you to think closely before turning down this quite unique opportunity.
Regarding the Liner, acknowledged. We will contact your company about this at given time then.
With best regards,
- Masaru Sera, President of the Nikkyo Consortium, Spokesman of the Hogosha Alliance
