So, word gets around that you fired on some of our agents while they were hunting an infected pilot. I decide to investigate the scene myself, and remembering that your "colony" ships were said to have descended to the area, go looking for where they came from. Guess what I find? Not one, not two, not three, but four modular bases neatly arranged and hidden. I'm sure you'll recognize them, since your name is plastered all over them.
Now theres two ways we do this. You are suspects in the assistance of an infected pilot and nomad sympathizer, so you have very little leeway here, keep this in mind. Either you will be granting access to Harmony ships on all four of these installations, as well as paying a registration fee, as in accordance with our laws. This fee will be paid for each station naturally.
Or, you can refuse, and I'll personally burn all four of those stations to ash. I do so hope you'll make the correct choice here. And believe me, I have a lot more guns than you do. You have 48 hours to make a choice.

ENTER TEXT Greeting and Salutation Konnichiwa Mrs Smit
the incident of which you speak I do remember. BUT!! there is some embellishment on the part of the pilots that where present. The individual that was supposable infected was nothing more then Rough pilot sitting in front of Ames . These pilots, that now I assuming is under your command never identified them selves of any organization and conducted them selves in the manner of common pirates asking for protection money. I personally was unaware that the Battle Group Harmony was a band of pirates. But there action at the time seem to indicate that.
These pilots where asked to stop harassing the Rouge pilot. Because I am sure you are aware that Zoners do not harbor any ill will towards any faction or race. But will not tolerate the scamming of protection money with in the bounds of our installations. They where asked to stop with their actions. Also they where asked to stop firing with in the 10k limit of the NFZ around Ames. Their answer to these requests where that they did not have to follow rules. They had been asked to leave the area and to top firing on more then 10 occasions. They continued to chase and fire with in the NFZ at which they started to hitting the Izanami. We are with in the right of the NFZ to defend the base from any aggression. If these pilots where there for an infected ship why are the running a protection scam. Seems there is conflicting stories.
Now to the bases these are non military research platforms. We will not allow military vessels to use the bases. we are not going to be dragged into any military conflicts. My suggestion is build your own bases. But to jeopardize scientists and civilians for you military need and drag us into your petty conflicts is a non starter. if you want a base then ask to have one built we do have the equipment to build bases
You do know that is other way to handle diplomacy then to saber rattle. First off if you want to make someone aware of some claim you have send a delegation, it is not hard to find us we normally are at Ames. To levy taxes on us I would have to see official documents stating to that because if you are going to levy them on us you are going to need to do the same for IRGs base as well. Kepler is a free and independent system. We as Zoners can handle most conflicts with in the system if the other party is will to listen and not act childish.
The bigger issue at hand is your pilots need manners and also to identify themselves to parties. I do not know your geopolitical goals and frankly if you have such a claim to the system then why have you not been present in the system. Sending a letter to us a month after the incident is making me leery of such claims. If you have problem with liberty then so be it. I am not fond of them either. Like many house lawful they seem to not have to follow guidelines set forth in treaties and do as they please. But that is a topic for later. But as started if you want a base then we would be happy to help you build one. BUT! I will not under any circumstance put my people at risk having war ships linger around.
I am open for diplomatic resolution but I will warn you they will not be one sided
Because I'm in a good mood, I'll attach recorded communications between Megeara, Harmony and a nomad, in which the Rogue you assisted expressed directly sympathetic views with that of the nomads. Now, I'm willing to believe you were merely caught off guard, and are not actually helping nomad sympathizers of your own volition.
Further, I'll go so far as to remind you that despite the very real threat attached, that this channel was opened to facilitate diplomatic communication. As much as you don't want to see your installations razed, I have better things to do with my time. You refer to the IRG port, which is open to us, and therefore meets the first of our requirements in not being placed on a list of potentially dangerous installations that our enemies could use. Additionally, the IRG port is not tucked away from view, but within the NFZ of Ames, where anyone can see it. Naturally this level of secrecy that your group has pursued is raising questions, especially with your defense of a nomad sympathizer raising issues.
But I'll cut straight to the point now. You don't want to risk lives by having warships lingering, yet merely opening your docks to us would ensure that no risks are taken. There is an alternative, but that requires you to want one.
[05.01.2018 23:05:03] Kessereya: "Agression is a basic threat of humanity."
[05.01.2018 23:05:30] Megaera.: Ah, I know aggresion well
[05.01.2018 23:05:33] Kessereya: "Eventually, opening fire without any kind of warning. From an artillery."
[05.01.2018 23:05:39] H|-Lena.Smith: Aggression is generally a threat yes.
[05.01.2018 23:05:40] Megaera.: One of my traits
[05.01.2018 23:06:06] Megaera.: But I fight not for a cause
[05.01.2018 23:06:17] Megaera.: I simply fight for my own enjoyment
[05.01.2018 23:06:41] H|-SNS-Harmony: Transmit the identifier of that Rogue to the fleet.
[05.01.2018 23:06:51] Megaera.: But Nomads, they are intresting to me
[05.01.2018 23:06:56] H|-SNS-Harmony: One more that shouldn't be close.
[05.01.2018 23:06:59] H|-Lena.Smith: Done.
[05.01.2018 23:07:05] H|-Lena.Smith: I've got its profile recorded.
[05.01.2018 23:13:11] Megaera.: me? I am just here because I like the view
[05.01.2018 23:13:39] Order|CV-Deceres: Mark: View? This is probably the worst place to enjoy views..
[05.01.2018 23:13:58] Kessereya: "You cannot deny the beauty of this void, can you?"
[05.01.2018 23:14:06] Order|CV-Deceres: Mark: Oh shut your mouth..
[05.01.2018 23:14:12] H|-SNS-Harmony: Cursed nomads.
[05.01.2018 23:14:15] Megaera.: But aren't those nomads lovely of shape?
[05.01.2018 23:14:22] Order|CV-Deceres: Mark: Wait no.. The heck you even talking out of..
[05.01.2018 23:15:45] Order|CV-Deceres: Mark: You sure as hell can be annoying..
[05.01.2018 23:15:55] Megaera.: who?
[05.01.2018 23:15:59] Kessereya: "When you annoy me? By all means, I can."
[05.01.2018 23:16:03] Order|CV-Deceres: Mark: Nomad? Obviously.
[05.01.2018 23:16:15] Megaera.: I actually enjoy her company

a diplomatic dialog I can think of several ways to go about it with out the needless saber rattling. The placement of your base is to protect the average plane traveler from coming in contact with them. Seeing you claim you are protecting the citizens of Sirius. I would think of all people you can understand that. We are researchers and with that come the possibility of accidents that could be of catastrophic proportions. Sure we could have placed it in the NFZ and then suffer a Mass Cal event and damage everything with in that NFZ. They have not been placed in their location for some nefarious reasons. If we would have been doing such acts wouldn't they have had turrets that would have open fired on you as you approached. I suggest stop looking around every corner for a conspiracy.
Now to the issues of the needing to have access to our labs. I have to first ask what is in it for us. The needless display of fire power is a non starter. this is not going to be a take take with out some give. If you have not noticed our bases are defenseless we have never had any reason to place weapons platforms around it. This is not a reason for us you have you in this space. This current display has made us reconsider that decision of platform placements. We are willing to allow the use of our main hanger on the Tsukihime parent station. But access to the labs NO! I have to ask myself would you allow us to go poking around on your ships and station. I highly doubt it. These labs conduct proprietary tests on a number of projects we have, and do not need needless people mucking up the works. I am sure you have scientist but I doubt that are at the level of our teams. I am not at liberty to discuss these projects with someone that dose not have clearance or is out side our faction.
As for the one know as Meg that was our first contact with the individual. We don't care what any one individual is aligned with. Politics, wars are not of our concern. You can burn the universe down and it will rebuild itself over time. The Nomads are a oddity that require study. You may disagree. There is a old Sol quote from Sun Tzu The Art of War “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.” I suggest you read it. If you can not find a copy, I will be happy to send you a file.
