You admit to not only negligence, but of directly lying to us, and claim to be allies and friends, using a strange entity that has little care for such subtleties of communication as courtesy and respect? We have no interest in you or anything of yours that comes from Iota, nor in continuing to mince words. Your vessel will be registered – as unauthorized, stolen, and a target for retrieval by Maltese forces. Your cult shall receive neither recognition nor protection under the laws of Malta, and you are demanded to abandon any and all assets of value you may possess for use by the National Council towards Malta's glory.
You were warned, yet you chose, unwisely, to trifle with us. Be not deceived – Malta is not mocked. For whatever a man sows, such shall he reap.
Uriel took the opportunity to mediate putting aside his mission for the moment. It wondered if indeed this was miscommunication or some other form of it that was inherently negative.
"Councilmember. I am Uriel and we exist to facilitate understanding. If I may attempt to.. I am sure that the Oracles and the Cult of SIrius as they had been known on malta for many generations would be more than eager to have good relations with its government.
I am also sure the high exarch can facilitate any concerns or problems as for generations the oracles have occupied plantations harvested and traded cardamine, rehabilitated slaves, and supported the governments that came so that their followers and the people of malta were safe.
Oracles and cultists have died their blood stains the grasses and this is not a boast. these are facts. So I humbly implore that a understanding can be made between you. They were our envoys for many years amongst other examples of engineered envoys such as Angela Corino.
Their record of service exists it predates this council and their willingness and loyalty to this world ... i find odd you are questioning now. Is it the individual before you? Do you wish more official contact? If these are priorities then I must profess my apologies as I had hoped to ... "hitch" A ride from our space to your world for my diplomatic mission.
Wasn't it was very much recently My family assisted you in destroying a Colonial Republic installation On their doorstep? The migh of a combined fleet of ships and Spirits so formidable they could not be stopped.
Not to mention the years we've shared the same space. And accompanied your dead as they flew into the green void. Gifting their final thoughts to us. Their last words.
Speak to me as we should be. As friends reaching new understanding. Helping one another. I did come with gifts for you. And I am sad I may not be able to share them now this misunderstanding looms.
We can accomplish amazing feats together.
Can we come to terms with whatever troubles or agendas you wish to pass in person.
Do you not believe I am a spirit? Should my family arrive in some grand display? I dont think thats important In Fact I thought it would have been.. well.. intimidating to bring a fleet into the system.
In any case I can only abide by your wishes. And request that you make your decisions of whether or not I cam embark upon the orange fields of Malta or not.
I think we can benefit one another to your satisfaction Please.. Just give them and I a chance to.
It appears that a little setting straight is in order, as it appears you do not quite understand the gravitas of what you have done. I shall try and act so that you understand, as currently, there appears to be a gross misunderstanding on your part. While Malta acknowledges the dealings of the Cult with the Nomads, we would very kindly ask to be left alone with their dealings. They do not care for us and vice versa, and thus is it just. This is the reason why you are given free reign to associate with them as you see fit. However, this does not exempt you from basic politeness and code of conduct when dealing with Don Contari and Donna Contari. We do not care who you are; we do not care who you are dealing with, provided these dealings do not stand in stark contrast with the Nation, but acting as though the very virtue of bringing a creature with no name, no heritage, and no acknowledged royal blood with you would in some way grant you an exalted position to talk down to a member of one of the most venerable and influential families that support the Council is lunacy.
Be that as it may: We cannot allow a vessel that traversed the darkest corner of Sirius to land and be left unchecked. Thus, the Shrine of Altair has been flagged hostile to Outcast installations for now until reparations to the honor of Don Contari have been made. You are hereby charged to offer 50.000 workers from Liberty to Malta and present them as an apology gift to the Contari family, documenting their import properly and meticulously. Furthermore, you are hereby disallowed from procuring Maltese capital assets, the Tridente, the Storta, the Sarissa and the Ranseur class ships, as these resources cannot be diverted to you when the Gallic and the Corsairs are closing in from both sides. You are urged to afterwards render unto us all capital assets to be redistrubuted to the Maltese Naval Forces, but in accordance to the Maltese traditions, we shall not seize your property. Do this and redeem the honor of those you wronged, because otherwise, support might be difficult to come by.
Understand that this is entirely your fault, acknowledge it, and repent.
