Konnichiwa (did I say that right?) my Chrysanthemum friends.
I am Isaac Stone of the Junkers Congress.
The times we live in are troubled ones indeed, and in troubled times we need our friends. Now I know the Congress has had favourable relations with the Kiretsu for some time now, but I personally would like to extend my hand as a friend of you and your cause.
So I would like to present you with this gift to show my sincerity. Now I know this may not be the most practical of things, but I have little knowledge on what you require. If you could tell me what you need, I will either deliver it myself or have an associate deliver it.
Now as always in Sirius, nothing comes without a price. I would like to ask a small favour of your organisation, but I will not ask of it until I am certain I have earned the right to ask for it.
So, let me know what you need and I will get it to you.

I'm sure our Chrysanthemum sisters at Ainu appreciate the gift. We don't have much need for anything currently, most of our suppliers are keeping up with demand for now. It'd be best if you just tell us what it is you need, and then we can decide what would be appropriate from you in return.
What I am in need of is a way to level the playing field. You see the Hogosha and the Kusari Naval Force have rather agile and deadly ships. Our own ships are quite the opposite, being rather large and clunky. While searching Sirius for ships that share similar qualities to that of our enemy's, I came across your Blossom.
So, for the purposes of personal security and protecting Congress transports in Kusari, I would like to request the usage of one Blossom C5-F Golden Chrysanthemum Very Heavy Fighter.

I make it a policy not to release our ships to people outside the Golden Chrysanthemums. There are only two exceptions to this, a Blood Dragon using a Blossom, and an Outcast using an Orchid. The Blood Dragon being a former Chrysanthemum, and the Outcasts allowing us limited use of their shipyards for projects of ours. I don't intend to spread out ships any further than this. The Congress has free use of our Suncannons already. I would recommend you try to find another source for ships. The Sabre and Switchblade both work fairly well against the Hogosha's Black Dragons, and are far more prolific and easy to attain. I would recommend you choose one of these, perhaps equipped with Suncannons.
Ms Keisotsu, I would like to thank you for your time. Pity about the Blossom, but it's not a problem. Sadly, the powers that be have prevented us from using the common borderworld ships.
On a seperate matter, Ms Keisotsu, if I may, we Junkers are hosting a party of sorts aboard Yanagi Depot, and we'd be honoured if a few of your warriors could make it. Business casual, no need to get dressed up. We'd simply love it if you could attend.
