Gitsune, I wish I could say this is a social call, but your recent message to Rheinland Military calls for a less pleasant exchange.
You basically threaten to violate their well established borders. Was that a bluff? Or did you think to penetrate both G.M.G and Rheinland space with your own strike wing?
I should not have to tell you have strategically important Rheinland is, protecting our flank whilst occupying potential enemies. Jeopardising our relationship with them is a dangerous gamble – I am sure you agree that leaving ourselves with only the conquerors as allies would not be wise.
I doubt you would have made such a brash move if Takahashi was still here, and so I have to ask – are you challenging my right to command in her absence? If so I am sure we can settle the matter with the M.o.d, or perhaps another way...
If not, and your cast of the line was a risky ruse, then I would appreciate you speaking to Admiral Weissman - as tactfully as you can manage – asking for limited K.N.F sorties through Rheinland to strike at the corsairs which are such a problem for them. You already have a connection to him, and a woman is always a more persuasive choice.
May the tides favour us, Kaishō Nagata,
Kusari Naval Forces.
Ah, Nagata-san I believe only matter that concerns you is your power over Naval forces.
Why else would you contact me hai?
I know our possibilities better than you think, ofcourse that was bluff, but we must protect our technology and do anything to remain fearsome even for our allies, especially now when Takahashi-san remain missing. I believe you already forgot that it was you who recalled Tau battlegroup and took her chair as your own, but you shouldn't forget that you will sit on admiral's chair only until she returns.
Ah, about other ways how to settle this things, will you trial me for voicing my thoughts? Or might it be something worse? Anyway, you always know where to find me, onboard Sotangitsune.
And don't be afraid about Rheinlanders, I know what I'm doing.

Gitsune, you dare question my integrity!? I have served Kusari for nineteen years 'little-girl'. I was fighting pirates when you were still learning Kanji! You are naively mistaken in believing rumours of megalomania, no doubt because you are so young: my concern was for the safety of ours borders and retaining our allies.
You know full well I ended the search for Mikako based on generous supply projections! The facts do not lie: I could change them no more than I could pull fish from the air! I lo-... I held a lot of respect for Takahashi, it pains me more than you know that she is missing, though you should consider the possibility that she ...may not return.
Neither of us have time for trials or bureaucracy, keep your men from violating Rheinland space. If I hear about fire exchange we will have a problem. Takahashi trusted you, and though you are tempestuous, I trust you to deal with Admiral Weissman Nagata,
You served for nineteen years and I only for four, but I stand here before you in Admiral rank, that only proves that "little girl" always get what she want, no matter of cost.
No need to explain me why Tau expedition was recalled, we have more than enough resources to conquer a star system, but not enough to keep resque mission, as you wish Nagata-san.
And don't be afraid, I would never provoke reinlanders for a fight, not them for sure.
