Taii-san,
It is my understanding, from information passed to us by the Mistress Ketsurui-Taisho's office, that you are engaged in a clandestine operation for the Mistress Taisho's benefit.
However, from redacted reports shared with our headquarters at the behest of the Mistress Taisho, it is our understanding that you have encountered several new spacefaring species — for which you are to be commended — and our Empire's most hated foe, the NMX.
The following orders do not countermand those from the Mistress Taisho. Consider them a temporary duty.
1. You are to
engage the NMX forces that have been harassing the I'ee species your vessel has discovered. You are
allowed to assist them by any means necessary in destroying the NMX you encounter,
short of loaning them equipment or allowing them to be stationed on your vessel. They are
allowed to be guests.
2. You are to
assist the I'ee forces, but you are
not allowed to engage in any uplifting of their base technology.
3. You are
allowed to form a task force with I'ee forces to make more efficient anti-NMX operations.
4. You are
allowed to offer their vessels safe passage through Yamataian territory, as required to engage NMX forces or protect I'ee forces from NMX attack.
5. You are
not allowed to offer assistance beyond emergency aid to the Vekimen species, unless they are under direct attack from NMX forces. In that event, the assistance you require must be directly related to this
It is also our understanding that you might come into contact with Uso's Star Organization. You are
not allowed to assist, aid or abet
any of the organization's activities. If they commit criminal acts within your view inside Yamataian territory, you are
authorized to stop, detain and investigate their behavior as you see fit.
If you require further clarity of these temporary orders, please seek my counsel. I will provide all I can.
May the Empress' blessings guide your path,
Shôshô Kakitomo Musume,
YSS Monarch, 8th SF
