Salutations to the National Council of Malta.
I am known as Sajuuk, and i'm an Oracle Windcaller. I come to you for two things. Without further ado, let me list said things:
1. I would like to introduce to you all an emissary called Uriel. He made all the way from Omicron Iota onboard my mobile shrine vessel to act as an ambassador on Malta, as well to commune and learn from you all.
2. Some time ago, miss Marie Mercier called me privately and asked me to join the Council as a representative for the Oracles. I would like to know if I am allowed to do so.
I will be soon arriving at Malta. If you need to know more, feel free to ask.
My blessings to you all. ~ Sajuuk

INITIALIZING MESSAGE
*Alessandro sighs heavily before starting to speak.*
To be honest I'm confused and have no idea from where to begin with. First of all I'd expect someone more high ranking and competent to speak to us. No offence, but you are not looking neither high ranking or competent, but that's besides the point. I would never think that organization of yours that is basing on Malta for so long didn't learn a basics of good manners and respect. Seems like your are doing whatever you want and just allowing yourself to speak to us fait accompli. This is not acceptable, you did not bother to consult with us.
Now let's speak about your impudent law breaking.
1. §2.5; Entering restricted zones. - You said you came from Iota, means you have passed at least one of the two forbidden zones in Omicron-85 or Omicron-92 without our permission.
2. Your so-called Shrine is nothing more than Storta-class vessel, that is being used inappropriately. It was not registered and we can't find any record of you contacting us about it. We consider this vessel as stolen and your organization is suspected by paragraph §3.1.3 of the Maltese Laws.
3. I do not recall us calling for another Emissary. We do respect the decision of the Council of Dons and recognize Angela Corino as the current ambassador. We also have no idea who or what Uriel is, for now I doubt that it will gain any official status on Malta.
I don't know what exactly Senorita Mercier told to you, but currently we don't have it in plans. Currently Oracles are not providing new workers to Malta nor assisting our forces in combat. In light of this I assume laws of religion can be revoted and status of your organization might change.
*Alessandro sighs again, taking a sip of wine and turning off the transmission.*
*the video feed changes to a figure in strange regalia. some sort of suit*
"Greetings members of the National Council. My name is Uriel and I have been embarked or rather tasked with meeting you via this interface "this" bridge to co create a new understanding between Malta and My Family."
*it plainly looks at a recording of the last transmission. it floats oddly and passes by*
"Angela Corino "emissary-named" has no mission and does not have this mission, nor would "it" be capable of what my tasks entail. You have time before I arrive on the planet to either agree or disagree to my ingress. If you are concerned with "pecking order" or -ranks- you need not worry "we" are the pecking order established for this purpose."
"We would be disappointed. But not surprised if your attempt at Insolence wasn't in jest.
I have spent a great deal of time learning your "tones" and reading your "feelings" I ask you to not be afraid of this development.
A brand new dawn of co operation can be had here. We look forward to meeting each and every one of you."

INITIALIZING MESSAGE
Ciao. Do I know you?
You say you have learned our feeling and such, but still not bothering to show a tiny bit of respect. Respect this what we demand from the guest, who are coming to our home. It is easy, there are a simple rules and laws. You seems to be an arrogant creature if you think that this tone will play in your favour. Saying you don't care about our ranks? Why would we care about you in such case? Hm?
No, I'm not interested in meeting with you nor listening to your preachy. You better to stop playing this game with us, otherwise we will play our games. If you lunatics think that you can break our laws and keep that tone of conversation, I will be not just annoyed. Also what's wrong with Corino and what's special about you?

We are under the impression this is a council with a presidential entity elected by said council this takes affairs united, represented, and intended to be addressed by consolidating leadership. this is our understanding?.
In my case my life exists for this purpose "ambassador named". Until another is facilitated. I am only permitted to bring myself and this suit you see. I had enlisted the assistance of the nearest allied vessel I could and thusly we are at this stage. In which I will await your deliberations if you will receive us or not. We are excited if not.. anxious to begin.
You are most assuredly a council member I address the whole of the council but we are most delighted to make your acquaintance senior Contari. It is a testament that through much adversity that Malta has / is setting aside powerbase and political issues to unify and as I understand current events this is a rare thing to be celebrated.
Ranks and laws are important in your society, we do not have any. It is an concept we struggle but the idea is not undervalued If i understand your meaning. Clearly i was not... "being" clear. we apologise.
As a member of this wise undertaking you seem to have made a jest or.. show signs of confusion or fear of this development. All is well! We assure you. We respect you wholly as you are and we are a great deal wishing to have formal contact as equals within the paradigm of knowing one another and learning.
This transmission is not how I would prefer to communicate it is.. prone to misalignment of meaning and misunderstanding..this is.. fustraiting and.. we wish to take full responsibility for this. We recognise this is not typical.
Angela Corino as far as we have been able to derive from her last memories is missing/dead/incapacitated. It was curious when you mentioned her we assumed from her long absence and lack of contact you would have come to the same conclusion.. should she manifest the hive would like to interface with her as soon as possible.
I suspected something was wrong.. we apologise of accusing you of not taking this seriously clearly I misunderstood.
The mission is still beset upon ours... we must make contact with the ruling bodies and minds of Malta so that things can continue. We wait in reception of anything further you may have for us."

Salutations, Mr.Contari.
I come back to you regarding my 'infractions' towards Maltese laws that you mentioned. |------|
Code:
1. §2.5; Entering restricted zones. - You said you came from Iota, means you have passed at least one of the two forbidden zones in Omicron-85 or Omicron-92 without our permission.
No, I didn't enter either of these systems, just so you know. I took the long yet dangerous way through Corsair territory back and forth. |------|
Code:
2. Your so-called Shrine is nothing more than Storta-class vessel, that is being used inappropriately. It was not registered and we can't find any record of you contacting us about it. We consider this vessel as stolen and your organization is suspected by paragraph §3.1.3 of the Maltese Laws.
Not a problem. This vessel dates back to the period of the Crimson Cross, and was previously called MNS-Porto.Cervo - however, when the Cross disbanded for reasons unknown, it was left in drydock at Valetta, and subsequently moved to Venice at my request, as I heard of such a vessel; it is only normal that you couldn't find any info on my ship. Lucky for you, I still have a saved copy of the file in my archives - find it below.
Code:
Name: Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair
Organization: The Oracles
Class: Storta
Ship Captain: Windcaller Sajuuk
Ship Role: Mobile shrine/Defence asset
Equipment:
1x "Light Mortar" Antimatter Cruiser-grade Artillery Turret
2x "Cerberus" Cruiser-grade Heavy Turrets
2x "Defiler" Cruiser-grade EMP Turrets
8x "Velocidad" Outcast Destroyer Turrets
"Void's Veil" Cloaking Device MkII
"Train MkII" Cruiser-Grade Cruise Disruptor Launcher
"Redoubt MkII" Cruiser-grade Medium Shielding System
"Trail" Enchanced Thruster Array
"Bulwark MkIII" Cruiser-grade Armor Plating
"Detector" Advanced Sensor Array
"ZX-5935" Ionic Engine System
Addendums: Commissioned in 819 A.S. by the Cross under the name MNS-Porto.Cervo, this ship was to serve in Malta's defence fleets. However, it was never used, and when the Cross disbanded, the ship's existence was forgotten and kept secret. I then casually heard about this ship, and made plans to move it to the Venice shipyards and customize it to my needs. Of course, during customizations, it was also outfitted with the above-stated equipment. Now, it serves as my mobile shrine, when I'm away from friendly space. I hope this explanation is enough for you.
|------|
Code:
3. I do not recall us calling for another Emissary. We do respect the decision of the Council of Dons and recognize Angela Corino as the current ambassador. We also have no idea who or what Uriel is, for now I doubt that it will gain any official status on Malta.
Check Uriel's latest comm about this. |------|
Code:
I don't know what exactly Senorita Mercier told to you, but currently we don't have it in plans. Currently Oracles are not providing new workers to Malta nor assisting our forces in combat. In light of this I assume laws of religion can be revoted and status of your organization might change.
You clearly don't know what Oracles are - in that case, I'll refresh your mind.
We are a religious group that has always lived on Malta, and our job is completely unrelated to the National Council's. We are two separate entities. We are to teach people the Path of the Oracle. This is what we do. |------|
Mr.Contari, I advise you to -at least- show a degree of respect for the both of us. We are respecting you and your role within the Council, but it looks like you don't. I have echoed Uriel's lates comm to the entirety of the National Council of Malta.
My message, instead, it's directed to you, so to reply to the accusations you moved against me.
That is all for now.

INITIALIZING MESSAGE
"Sajuuk",
boy, you see, I don't like when people think that I'm fool. First of all, Crimson Cross never disbanded. We have all records of the Crimson Cross, as the Tarxien Order was incorporated into the National Council so you have failed even at that. You know what that means? Take a bet, I will let you guess. Right. We have all their records. MNS "PORTO CERVO" was never mentioned, nor we can find any other, not related to the Crimson Cross records about this vessel. Even if it was the truth, I was assured that this ship was under Maltese transponder once, and now it's not, that is a problem. I don't think you realize who you are dealing with, we are the serious people with serious opportunities.
Due to you being a bunch of lunatics, I'm extremely patient. I am stepping over myself talking to you at the moment, it costs a lot too.
Oh, and do you really think that passing Corsair space is making it any better? You just coming here and openly said that you have stole our cruiser and came here crossing the Corsair space? Did i hear it right? Maybe you want to keep the initial version of events, because this is making your situation even more dramatic.
I did not hurt your religious feelings, but I would like to not take any advice from you. I don't care about your path, but now it's crossing our path, you see the problem. You demand a respect, show me anything that would inspire it. Did you do something to gain my respect? I see only quite insultive messages.
"Uriel",
>Greetings Alice Sand Rho Con Tuari
Maltese, do you speak it? Did you just call me Alice? Con Tuari? Maybe I should not listen to the thing that can't pronouce the name of the most powerful family on Malta? Or should I? You can be sure that the Council as the whole is sharing point of view that laws are need to be followed.
But as I said previously, I'm not interested in meeting with you, nor my family is. I am not here to discuss your existential problems. I don't have any fear of development and developing my planet in the best way I can and can't see how you can help.

Salutations, Mr.Contari.
Do you really think -we- are fools? Think again, my friend. I know you don't speak on behalf of the whole Council ruling body, but only from your side and yours only. You do not even know who we are or what are our goals.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
As for this fact, this channel will be closed to you permanently and the signal will be redirected to the rest of the Council.
:: Closing signal pemanently to Alessandro Contari ::
:: Opening signal permanently to The National Council of Malta and its rulership ::
You have forced my patient hand. And this is what you have achieved. We no longer wish to speak with your person.
That is all.

You are not one to speak of forcing patient hands, cultist. You and your ilk have done naught for the benefit of Malta in recent memory, yet have taxed us greatly. For reasons which, frankly, are unknown to me—and, as you appear to expect us to be aware of minute details of your own organization, ours expects yours to be readily aware of who I am—Malta has provided you and yours supplies and safe harbor despite your apparent theft of one of the greatest weapons our military knows, your proclivities for subverting the natural and divinely-bestowed traditions of this nation, and now, your blatant disrespect for one of the honored representatives of our people.
Perhaps, if your kind had the wisdom to grant the denizens of Sirius the blessings of tranquility and peace that come from honest work fueling Malta's economy, we might think more kindly of you. Perhaps, if your kind had the mercy to grant the denizens of Sirius the enlightenment and prowesses of the orange dream, we might be willing to overlook your transgressions. Perhaps, if your kind had even the foresight to know even slightest inkling of the utter fury of the people of Malta, it would not have come to this.
However, you degenerates have no such virtues. You lack the good grace of respecting venerable ways and lack the good sense of honoring those who do host you. As such, you have a choice of great gravitas before you. Right your wrongs, and extend a hand of genuine friendship to Malta, or find yourselves unwelcome. Whatever you decide, do not trifle with us.

Salutations, madame.
I will divide this in three parts:
Part °1
Code:
You are not one to speak of forcing patient hands, cultist. You and your ilk have done naught for the benefit of Malta in recent memory, yet have taxed us greatly. For reasons which, frankly, are unknown to me—and, as you appear to expect us to be aware of minute details of your own organization, ours expects yours to be readily aware of who I am—Malta has provided you and yours supplies and safe harbor despite your apparent theft of one of the greatest weapons our military knows, your proclivities for subverting the natural and divinely-bestowed traditions of this nation, and now, your blatant disrespect for one of the honored representatives of our people.
Let's restart this from the beginning. Both sides might have started with the wrong foot, maybe? We might have. So, let's talk this out.
On this, alas, you are correct. We haven't done much for Malta and its well-being, and that is because we have been away from it far too much.
I'd kindly extend my deepest excuses to Mr.Contari, for lying to him, as well as disrespecting him. And I'm not lying this time, I'm honest.
So honest, I will tell you the [b]true history of my ship - the Shrine.of.Altair - from the start. You can find it below.
Code:
This Storta has been built last year at the Venice Shipyards under my personal request. I personally brought all the material needed for its building. As it was completed, I did write the form to register it at the National Council - however, shortly after, loads of stuff came through my hands, and the form went forgotten. And to be honest, I did forgot about it. Below, you will find every information on my destroyer. If it is possible still, I would ask you to register it under The Oracles' name.
|------|
Name: Oracle|Shrine.of.Altair
Organization: The Oracles
Ship Type: RM-2 "Storta" Outcast Destroyer
Ship Captain: Windcaller Sajuuk
Ship Role: Mobile shrine, defensive asset
Equipment:
1x TL-4a "Light Mortar" Antimatter Artillery Turret
2x C-25 "Cerberus" Cruiser Heavy Turrets
2x EMP-4a Cruiser Pulse Cannons
8x MT-60d Outcast Destroyer Turrets
1x "Void's Veil" Cloaking Device MkII
1x "Train MkII" Cruiser-Grade Cruise Disruptor Launcher
1x "Redoubt MkII" Cruiser-grade Medium Shielding System
1x "Trail" Enchanced Thruster Array
1x "Bulwark MkIII" Cruiser-grade Armor Plating
1x "Detector" Advanced Sensor Array
1x "ZX-5935" Ionic Cruiser-grade Engine System
|------|
Part °2
Code:
Perhaps, if your kind had the wisdom to grant the denizens of Sirius the blessings of tranquility and peace that come from honest work fueling Malta's economy, we might think more kindly of you. Perhaps, if your kind had the mercy to grant the denizens of Sirius the enlightenment and prowesses of the orange dream, we might be willing to overlook your transgressions. Perhaps, if your kind had even the foresight to know even slightest inkling of the utter fury of the people of Malta, it would not have come to this.
Our kind has the wisdom 'to grant the denizens of Sirius the blessings of tranquility and peace' but not like you might think. While you work to expand the Orange Dream, one of our many goals involve dispelling the taboo about it, and thus legalize it within the Houses. We ourselves cannot haul Cardamine due to our nature, and thus we do rely on the Junkers to haul and expand it. As an added note, we do enlighten people through teaching them the way of the Oracle, that involves heading to Malta, and taste the Orange Dream at least once.
|------|
Part °3
Code:
However, you degenerates have no such virtues. You lack the good grace of respecting venerable ways and lack the good sense of honoring those who do host you. As such, you have a choice of great gravitas before you. Right your wrongs, and extend a hand of genuine friendship to Malta, or find yourselves unwelcome. Whatever you decide, do not trifle with us.
Personally, I cannot decide for the whole. But if I could, since we are 'hosts' as you stated, we will try to give you a hand whenever we can.
|------|
As a last, I would link to you my friend Uriel's latest communique, which was then answered by Mr.Contari.
Quote:*uriel floats the transcript of the transmission again.. reviewing it.. then back to the screen.*
"Greetings Alice Sand Rho Con Tuari"
*regarding the transcript again *
"I do not know if I said those things or meant those things by your words? Is this a cultural divergence of some kind? "

If you notice a possible lack of respect on his side, this is because Uriel is learning our ways of communications.
You might ask yourself, though, where does he come from.
I will just tell you a name - Omicron Iota. This says everything.
That is all for now.
I will be waiting your response.
