Understanding my position as of now is quite tricky, but i will offer this once.
Almost one year ago, I met your organization while I was contracted privately by a loose organization, I took interest and decided to observe. After this organization fell apart and dissolved, I still decided to keep in contact, your hospitality was nice and well kept. (Save for the sassy attitude that can leak from Miss Espinosa.) I honestly can say I met quite a few people I can call friends within your ranks. But I'm not here for an emotional talk on my friendships, but more or less another one.
As you know, I've always refereed to my other job as the "Main Contractors" and they (With some time) have taken interest in your organization. This is how I got assets like my Liner, funds and the question about how your Cardamine supplies have been getting though Rheinland to Liberty so easily can be answered. But all I need you to do, is consider the advantage that you might gain if you take into what I'm about to say.

"Sassy"
Now that's a new one.
Most people prefer just plain "snarky" or "bitchy" but I guess I'll take "sassy".
--- Oh I'm sorry did you forget I'm the Inquisition Admin?
Y'know, second in the Cross only to the members of the Council? Yeah. I count as clergy. Well done trying to slip a fast-one on me.
Your petty jab aside; my issue with you is a personal one; something I can set aside to focus on a bigger picture. There's only a select number of organizations you can be referring to given the hints that you've dropped and/or have been gleamed(stolen) over the course of our time knowing each other. We have a working theory as to whom you refer but before we pass judgement, we'll go ahead and let you come forth with it.
So have at it then; who seeks our audience and what do they want?

I work under contract for the Büro der Marineintelligenz, (call it treacherous to keep it hidden for so long, but that was for me to personally enjoy just being seen as Enfield, not some Agent.) But they are willing to negotiate a terms of deal, that could possibly secure your peace within Rheinland space, supplies and some covert funding (by me personally) and look towards about extending a military truce and pact against the forces that we deem a danger to both of us such as the Corsairs, Vereinigte Widerstandsarmee and more importantly, The Order. We can discuss the terms of negotiation on these in detail if you wish to proceed to work on this.
and Miss Espinosa I know that it wasn't going to "Slip" one on you. I broadcasted that to make sure that you know how I think of you, just doin' my part. Better than calling you most other things, i think it suits you perfectly.
Cos if so you're well on your way to not being shot out of the sky the moment we next see them. I actually managed to get one of my personal favourite side-arms out of those shipments.
Kidding aside; We're interested. The BDM seems to know which way the Light shines, and have exhibited willingness to repent for their sins before, so the Council isn't adverse to the idea. They've now requested that you come up with a draft for a NAP, and we'll negotiate terms down to something manageable.
Capiche?

Okay, i was not aware of this but thank you to bringing it to my attention, although I feel as if I was being held back on information by my superiors... Damn it.
Fine, simple, here are the terms that they are offering, if you want to work on them, that would be absolutely fine.
§1 The purpose of this agreement is, to stop the sale of cardamine within Rheinland entirely, while Rheinland's law enforcement will allow the Crimson Cross a safe passageway through Rheinland into Liberty space.
§2 The Crimson Cross agrees, to stop the sale of cardamine within Rheinland space entirely, and will also take measures to make such a sale in Rheinland unprofitable for other parties.
§3 The Büro der Marineintelligenz will guarantee Crimson Cross convoys safe passageway through Rheinland space, by the following measures:
§3.1 The Büro der Marineintelligenz will not halt or engage any vessels flying under the divisions of the Crimson Cross transporting cardamine discreetly under the terms that they shall not halt their vessels within any convoy in Rheinland space.
§3.2 Rheinland's law enforcement will be informed about the agreement between the Büro der Marineintelligenz and the Crimson Cross, and shall not interfere the flow of cardamine into Liberty space.
§4 The Büro der Marineintelligenz will allow Crimson Cross vessels to discreetly carry an amount of 5 Units of cardamine for personal use within Rheinland space.
§5 The Büro der Marineintelligenz will treat Crimson Cross personnel equally as foreign civilians within Rheinland sovereign space.
§6 Both the Büro der Marineintelligenz and Crimson Cross will abide by each other declared laws when visiting the terriroties deemed sovereign by the other party, with the exclusions stated within this agreed pact.
§7 This agreement can be canceled by both, The Büro der Marineintelligenz or the Crimson Cross, at any time.
§8 The Crimson Cross and the Büro der Marineintelligenz are hereby obliged, to keep ultimate secrecy & silence of any details of this pact to any external organisation.
Now to further elaborate on this, we really want to see that you do get acceptance from us, but from the Bundestag too, think of it like six Maltese party's in control of the administration. Yeah, so you'll need to give us a hand into pushing to show to the public of Rheinland that you guys aren't butchers and cannibals like the corsair empire.
To: Geoff Enfield From: Inquisition Admin Espinosa Subject: What, no guns?
Curious that an intelligence service wants to be friends with a previously hostile entity but makes zero concerted effort to improve our image to the rest of their people... makes me a little suspect of something bigger that may be hiding beneath the surface and/or what you may have in store...
Regardless, the Council's in, so far; personally I would've liked to see something in exchange for your limiting our trade in the area but hey, s'not like we're doing a lot in the area anyway. Cardamine buyers in Rheinland are rather hard to come buy truth be told; most of your people are too busy shooting eachother or not being paid..
Imagine that~
Oh well. For now, consider our half of the bargain agreed.
As for us improving our public image:
What, do you want me to order one of the Cross Battlegroups to defend your borders for you?
We aren't shooting your civilians out of their ships. If they want more, they can visit Malta themselves for holiday. Ishmael's oceans aren't that caustic---

Okay, with everything in place, its clear to understand that with the discussed changes to this pact, we can come under an agreement that we shall both enforce it, I like the idea that we're both securing a cease fire in our side of territories. Although I don't know how my troops would feel about it, some still refer to you as "sniffers". They might as well call me a "Injector" since I also have the necessary needs for supplements, I'll be tugging their necks to keep them in line.
We've got a confirmed Green Light from our divisions, expect your trade to get into Liberty space a little more smoothly and with less hiccups.
