Grand Admiral Davis,

In light of recent events, your concern for our interests is accepted with sincere gratitude. We thank you for your invitation and extend our hospitality to Neplesila's finest.

You are more than willing to accommodate yourself on board a Nepleslian vessel for the duration of your visit or, at your request, we can facilitate your stay on board the Hotaru to the best of our abilities.

Subsequent communications between our fleets will arrange a time and duration for your stay.

SIGNED,
Miyamae Eriko, Taisa
Fleet Aide, 5th Expeditionary Fleet

I would like to express thanks for your prompt reply and generous invitation. I will be more than happy to utilize both the facilities on my ship as well as what you are willing to offer me.

Although I am well-versed in Yamataian traditions, unfortunately I have not put them to good use in quite some time. Are there any ceremonies that I should prepare for before arrival?

I am sending you the proper identification codes for my vessel, as well as possible meeting times.

I pray that this message reaches you in good health.

-Grand Admiral Robert Davis
Commanding Officer, Nepleslia Star Empire

Grand Admiral Davis,

You needn't worry yourself with any ceremony beyond a respect for basic Yamataian custom. After all, a large display (while extravagant) is hardly necessary for such an informal visit, and a casual atmosphere would no doubt be more comfortable for all parties involved.

Also, we have received your identification codes and confirmed them; thank you for thinking ahead - it should expedited things in the long run. To continue the smooth running of this arrangement, please allow us to place our Draco Scout Group at your service as an escort to ensure the safety of yourself and your vessel in this time of war. After all, it would be a grave transgression of our honour and reputation should we allow any harm come to a man of your stature while dealing with the Fifth Expeditionary Fleet.

We look forward to your next reply and eventual arrival;

SIGNED,
Miyamae Eriko, Taisa
Fleet Aide, 5th Expeditionary Fleet

I will be arriving in the next few days. There are preparations that I must take into account before departing. As you have put it, my friend, the universe that we live in is indeed dangerous.

I will inform you upon my departure of the ETA of my ship.

Do you, your command staff, and your Taisho enjoy wine? Is there anything you would like from Nepleslia? The corner of the universe looks a bit lonely, I'm afraid.

May our meeting be beneficial to us all.

-Grand Admiral Robert Davis
Commanding Officer, Nepleslia Star Empire

Grand Admiral Davis,

A generous offer; by all means bring what you wish. I'm fairly certain we can all find some way of enjoying your wine! With that said, I cannot speak for the command staff as a whole, but if I may ask for some plants or seeds. A odd request, but fitting for a new coloney I think and as a (hopefully long lived) symbol of our friendships come what may.

May the Empress guide you;

SIGNED,
