Good afternoon dear Admiral Havering,
I believe we have not met yet. However, I must confess that I felt irresistible urge to contact you in order to compliment one of your brave soldiers, Ensign Roger Kent. During our short encounter in Leeds, which, I must add, was caused by a perfectly legitimate conflict of interests, he had shown exemplary dedication, flawless manners and immaculate attitude. I attach surveillance record for reference. I personally believe that Ensign Kent is a fine material for a great officer of the Bretonia Armed Forces eager to uphold your highest standards of honour and chivalry.
And since I already contacted you, dear Admiral, I might as well think out loud for a moment. Our sets of internalized social norms are incompatible at best, while our sets of long term goals are mostly opposite. In other words it is unlikely that a tendency to annihilate each other, which persistently accompanies all of our encounters, will ever cease to be, as long as both sides exists, naturally. With that being said, it is, I believe, quite obvious that we prefer to have devastated Bretonia over strengthened Gallia at out doorstep. Having this in mind, we are neither capturing nor interrogating your pilots who were forcibly removed from their ships, as they can still return to fighting Gallic Royal Navy and dying for the Queen after a proper treatment. However, I personally believe that we should not serve this benevolence in Magellan, simply to discourage your further incursions there. I think it is quite understandable that we have grown special sentiment for this icy system. Therefore, I think it would be rational for you to limit number of pilots sent to Magellan, as chances are high that they would be not only intercepted, like in the case of patrol led by Captain Hugh Darrow, but also captured, interrogated and executed. I think it would be wise to use resources spared this way to actually fight the Gallic Royalists. After all, you have an invasion to repel, Admiral and I am counting on you.
Nicole Hunter mimics a salute. Carina, Regina, Imperatrix, dear Admiral.
Kind regards,
Nicole Hunter

Surveillance log: Leeds, Nicole Hunter's Cutlass, 12th July
Nicole Hunter: And we have a brave soldier here.
Ensign Roger Kent: What is a LH doing here?
Nicole Hunter: Good evening.
Ensign Roger Kent: Good evening my lady. Do you care to leave Leeds please?
Nicole Hunter: What a gentleman... Not only he returned the greeting, but also offers a safe passage out.
Ensign Roger Kent: Thats how the Bretonians are miss Nicole.
Nicole Hunter: I am not sure if it applies to everyone. For instance, Bowex pilots tend to be very rough, both in language, and piloting.
Ensign Roger Kent: Please follow me to Maggelan.
Nicole Hunter: I am affraid I will have to decline and the whole encounter will turn into exchange of some bolts.
Ensign Roger Kent: I do not want to harm you but if you insist to do piracy here i'll have to enforce the law.
Nicole Hunter: Let us make a good example of who we are and what we should do then. *laughs*
*explosion*
Nicole Hunter: *opening comm channel in a pod* I am terribly sorry that I had to forcefully remove you from your ship, dear sir.
Ensign Roger Kent: Miss Nicole, don't worry. Bretonian escape pods are the best and I am fine.
Nicole Hunter: It was just that your interest conflict mine.
Ensign Roger Kent: I understand.
Nicole Hunter: Good night.
