Konnichiwa honorable members of the Junker Congress.
Firstly let me introduce myself. My name is Kojiroh Sanada and I'm a member of the New Sisterhood of the Golden Chrysanthemums.
As I'm sure you know the Chrysanthemums and the Junkers have cooperated many times in the past to mutual benefit. I'm also sure that you would be pleased how we are progressing against those baka Hogoshans and generally disrupting trade within Kusari. We are planning to strike even harder in the days to come and are doing everything we can to straighten our ranks. This brings me to the main point of this message.
Recently I have developed a great interest for the Pilgrim Liner. To me its a marvelous ship perfectly suited for my future plans. It generous hold pared with excellent weapon power makes it perfect for both supplying our bases and hitting the trade routes of those corrupted Kusari corporations. I'm aware that you produce this glorious flying marvels at your shipyards and I would like to inquire about the possibilities of purchasing one. It even doesn't have to be brand new . A used or damaged one would do, as it can be repaired by our engineers. Along with the ship i would also like to inquire about a possible additional purchase.
As you might now, the number of sisters in our ranks is quite low and we might have problems getting the crew together to effectively operate the ship. Ofcourse a few sisters could be spared as the ship would be a great asset to us. In light of this I would like to ask what is a minimal needed crew for the ships proper operation? If the number greatly exceeds our capabilities I would like to ask could you passably include a certain number Robotic help that would aid in ship operations. To clarify what I exactly mean, here you will find an image of RBT - 116 type robot. We do have a certain number of these assigned on various base operations on Ainu. Unfortunately, we don't have any to spare at this moment an it has proven hard to get some around Kusari these days. I know this is an unusual request, but from what i hear Junkers have great technicians and you are also famous for being able to acquire things from all over Sirius.
With all being said, let me say I really hope this deal can go trough as the ship will be a great tool in our ongoing efforts against, i would say our mutual enemies.
Arigatou for your time honorable Junkers and I'm looking forward to your reply.

Good to hear from you again. It has been too long since I've been to Ainu. We should definitely do something about that. We don't exactly make the Pilgrim liners ourselves. They have been around longer than anyone would like to think really. We do what Junkers do best and we have refitted them to suit our needs. I maintain one now as my personal flagship. They are beautiful vessels when fixed up proper. I think we can arrange to have a few sent up your way. I'm afraid I can't say much about the robotic help you requested. Not exactly my thing. Arbiter Trenton keeps an antiquated old robot around as part of his crew, but I've never liked them very much. I can probably point you in the right direction. What I can do is offer to send some people up there who will help your people learn to fly these vessels and maybe even help with their operations. Some of my people would be quite interested in lending a hand to what you are doing.

Konbanwa honorable Crow-sama.
Arigatou for your fast reply. I always admired how efficient you and your men are.
Your offer to send a couple of Pilgrim Liners our way is much appreciated. Do to the current state of our ranks I do not believe we have enough sisters to spare to effectively operate more than one. Hence my inquiry about automated help.
Your additional proposals got me and the rest of the sisterhood very interested. Having a few of your fellow Junkers on board the ship is truly a magnificent idea and would be most annoying to our enemys. *grins* Our honorable leader, Matsumado-sama will contact you on this channel soon and continue the conversation as many great things could come out of our closer cooperation.

I'll be sending one of my agents to get in contact you and see what can be done to facilitate you. This agent goes by the name Mac. Mac is really Mackenzie Mason and I think your sisters will find her most agreeable. She's never been much into politics or big jobs, but she's got a good head on her. I've placed my life in her hands many times and she has never let me down.

Konnichiwa again honorable Crow-sama.
Okasan Matsumado-sama is currently unavailable but she has authorized me to continue this conversation.
As we talked before, I'm still in a need of a Pilgrim Liner. If you could send one our way that would be most appreciated. Of course, I will gladly pay all the expenses. You mentioned that you could possibly send a few of your men to help operate it. I find this to be a terrific idea and wonder if its still an option. Our combined forces on this liner could cause great problems for our enemys.
Also I would like to say that you and your men are always welcome at Ainu and we hope to see you boys more.

The pilgrims we are turning out now are being fitted at Invergordon Spaceport. I would be happy to host your representatives there as my guest. Our engineers can show them what we've been doing to refit these older transports. There are actually many options. I currently use one as my flagship. It doesn't have much practical purpose in operations because I have left so much room for comfort, but it's a good place for me to live for long periods of time while overseeing operations. We have some specially designed for transportation, and some that work well for punching holes in transportation if you know what I mean. We'll let you tell us exactly how you like them.
I'll be sending Mac up your way promptly and she can start getting a feel for your operation and be able to advise me on how we can best help you.

Konbanwa Hawk-sama.
This is all very good news and arigatou for being so helpful.
About the ships modifications, it will primarily be used for, as you so nicely put it, punching holes in transportation *giggles*, but also it needs to have some cargo transporting capabilities. Ainu and our bases in Tau-65 are in great need of supplys and it need to serve that purpose at least to some extent. If your engineers could remove some of the unnecessary modules so the ship requires as least crew as possible it would be most helpful.
I will start preparing for the journey to Iverness. If you could inform me about the planed date of completion i would be most grateful . A grill needs to organize herself for this kind of a trip.*grins*
Also please tell Mac-san that we eagerly await her arrival and are looking forward to working with her.
Konnichiwa. Since we havent heard anything from you lately I would like to ask how the progress on the pilgrim liners is going. They would be very benificial for our cause. I await your reply.

Greetings,
I'm Tyber Zann, Deputy Arbiter of the Junkers Congress. The pilgrims requested by you and commissioned by Arbiter Crow are complete and ready to be picked up at the Invergordon Spaceport. Mr. Crow is now retired but the arrangement he'd made will certainly be honored by the Junkers Congress.
We're pleased to assist you in this and look forward to continued good relations between our organizations.
