For: Empress Himiko
From: Legate Andariel Vokos
Empress,
I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting you in person. I hope to have the opportunity soon. In the mean time, however, an issue of some importance has become known to me. As my counterpart, Legate Karael Malach, may have informed you, I was involved in good-faith negotiations with the U.O.C., Free State, and Lorath Matriarchy recently.
Much of it was of little concern, but one particular revelation brought me pause.
An advocate of the U.O.C., one Shichou Yuriko, revealed an extensive Yamataian intelligence operation. My concerns were twofold. First, as our nations are allies, I feel it is my obligation to inform you of the potential breach in your security.
Second, as our nations are allies, I feel the sensor network keeping watch on Elysia is unwarranted. I am requesting its removal on behalf of the Elysian Senate. If there is trust between us, let us exercise it. Elysia has laid great faith in Yamatai's desire for peace and prosperity for several years now. I merely ask for reciprocation.
God's glory to you and your people,
Andariel Vokos
Second Legate of the Elysian Senate
