To: Xythen Cienori, Head of Cienori Ysi
From: Senator Cheol Eitan
Xythen,
I wish to remind you we are not just aligned, we are a state within the Empire. Not that I am trying to rain on your plans I think it is a brilliant idea. I believe that any negotiations should have the Imperial Premier informed a head of time - a simple message, and an offer to sit in may be in order. I am happy though that you are having forward thinking about our continued growth within the Empire. Beyond that thank you for your ambitions, they make Tsenlan stronger.
I also need inform you that Tetusya Eitan is dead, the Jol'Aestaesys of the United Norian Imperium is gone and cannot be restored due to the "do not restore" order he placed on his own IDE. While this does not effect our plans in the least, it still maybe wise to make a light message of caution to any of our people traveling back to the mother-nation. There is a power vacuum, and the new Jol'Aester is rather inexperienced. A formal message about Tetsuya's death will be made in a day or two. Keep an ear in the direction of our former home.
Signed,
Senator Cheol Eitan
Senator for Akina-Tsenlan
