Dear Mr. Williams,

Enclosure (1)
Shosa John Sandoval
Corporate Relations Officer
>>
Senior Diplomatic Officer
Name: Sayoo Newman
Gender: Male
Race: Geshrin
Age: 38
Rank: Taisa
Appearance: Muscular build, blond hair, green eyes, and looks to be in his late 20s.
Notes: Sayoo was a PNUgen employee before joining the Star Army at the age of 33, immediately after former Empress Yuumi was assassinated by Elysians. His superiors quickly recognized his natural talents at negotiation and diplomacy, and Sayoo quickly rose through the ranks. His service consisted mostly of the countless diplomatic missions that solidified and maintained the cultural and economic bonds between Yamatai and her client states. Naturally, most people describe Sayoo as friendly and disarming. Sayoo is boarding the Horizon along with his wife, his 3-year-old son, and his assistants and staff.
Junior Diplomatic Officer
Name: Nakamura Satori
Gender: Female (self-cloning)
Race: Nekovalkyrja
Age: 7
Rank: Shosa
Appearance: Slender and short (like most Nekovalkyrja), white shoulder-length hair, blue eyes.
Notes: Satori is Sayoo's protégé, and, according to their aides, a de facto member of Sayoo's family. Sayoo treats her as the daughter he never had, and has eagerly taught her everything he knew regarding the art of diplomacy. While Satori is a naturally friendly girl, she is lacking in tact, and will need a lot more practice before she can really call herself a diplomat. However, no one can doubt that Satori serves Sayoo and the Star Army with a fierce loyalty. Satori is boarding the Horizon with her Nekovalkyrja assistant.
Logistics Officer
Name: Willard Halloway
Gender: Male
Race: Nepleslian
Age: 45
Rank: Taii
Appearance: Chubby build, beer gut, is bald, and has two cybernetic goggle-eyes.
Notes: Many years ago, Willard served as a solider under the Nepleslian government. He had since then gone into the private sector, and was the co-founder and manager of a marginally profitable taxi company on Nepleslia. After the Battle of Nepleslia, during which billions of Nekos died protecting the planet from a Mishu invasion, Willard sold his interest in the taxi company and enlisted with the Star Army. Willard is too old and out of shape to be of much use in battle, but he has served well as a logistics officer, mainly due to his managerial experience. Willard's peers describe him as a gruff but honorable individual. He is boarding the Horizon with his Nekovalkyrja assistant.
