Esteemed Admiral Linford, Captain Kahl,

Before I'll tell you what I had in mind regarding this so called 'war' that you are speaking about, let me first clear up some things.

Captain Linford, you've stated that you will not be able to guarantee safety for third parties and yet Battlegroup Scarabeus jumps on us based on a few words by your High Command? That's very intriguing to me, I wonder if that'd work if we were to tell you some things about the Harmony in return, Monsieur Kalh. However, just as mentioned you cannot guarantee safety for third parties, I highly doubt that you will need to guarantee it, seeing as the Syndicliga has no interest in forcing more casualties than required. If anything, it would be your organization that would attack our guests, right?

Now that you know this, I'm ready to tell you about why I really got involved in this.
I've not been to Bering for that long yet, so not everything that I'll give you now is absolutely true and in some cases you might just know better than I do. From what I have seen, what I've been told, what I've read the Union and the Battlegroup have had a flourishing past. An alliance consisting of 2 outsiders, one from Liberty and one from Rheinland, in the middle of both houses. Sounds almost like a weird love story, does it not? Now, obviously, those times are over and both parties have declared war upon each other, with one party seeking out for more parties to make up for their lack of combat strength or manpower, whichever you prefer.

That is not really a bad thing if you would want to win a war, but have you considered what will happen after you get rid of us? Once your Rheinlandian friends enter Bering after you've helped them to get rid of us, how do you think the Legion will think after you've just swapped out the small issue for a giant one just knocking at their front doors waiting to breach the gate and come in. Or what would they say if the Battlegroup helped other parties to conquer Liberty? Both you and I know that it wouldn't be anything that neither you or us could handle alone, right? We've already taken care of an MND Cruiser before, next time we might let your allies know about who you invite to Bering, so choose your next decision, your ongoing path wisely.

Next, you've really started a war over a single ship? With the group that has willingly shared their home with you, that has given you an opportunity to grow and one that has basically fed you when you were weak. Talk about biting the hand that has fed you. It does seem quite contradictory to me that your goal is to free Liberty from those who you call infected, and yet you get overly angry about being denied a single ship that you've gotten the materials for. Are you serious, Admiral Linford? I mean it is your decision ultimately, but what you are doing here is wasting time with someone who wouldn't even get back on hostilities and instead would prefer to go back to reasonable talks just as before.

From my perspective, Admiral Linford, you were the ones that complained about unreasonable demands when the Hel was about to be given out, and now you state such insane demands just in order to stop a war that was started because of your stupidity and unreasonabilty in the first place? Don't make us laugh. If you really want to partake in this war, then you should be prepared for just as many casualties as we will be, for just as many repairs you will need to do on your ships, just as much hate and anger spilled at you as you've spilled at us. Your friends from the Legion might help you out, yea, but is that a relation that will survive for long if even a single word got out to them about your cooperation with the Rheinlanders that you've invited into Bering on several occasions?

Monsieur Frei is acting out of a corner, trying to protect his people as best as possible. Of course, a declaration of war after we asked third parties to assist us in peace talks is what he will do, so do not go out there and say " You did it too!" You, as a leader are naturally doing the same, to try to protect your people, your goals, and what you stand for. But isn't this just silly? The person who denied you the Hel is not even with the Syndicliga again from what I have heard, so you should just reopen talks with us instead of boasting about your strength, your allies, and bringing in third parties that none of us have even heard of before really. Are you really willing to move onto a war that will not as one-sided as you think once it really starts rolling? Because we would not like to lose people merely because of your short-sighted decisions. Do you want that damn Hel? Be reasonable with us, drop your declaration, and reopen talks or both of us will face consequences due to the decisions that were made in the past. Is this what you want? Then keep moving on the path that you're wandering right now. I've been to warzones before, I don't know if you have, but it's not something that you should ever wish for, and if you do then you are not a sane person.

If you really think that we will raise the white flag immediately after your oh so scary declaration then you are wrong. If you wish for peace then do something before this escalates to a point where there will be more than politics involved, when Vendetta's against each other's families will form because both sides knowingly started slandering each other. Please choose wisely, and we will too.

Now let me get onto you, Kalh.
Who even are you to talk like that?
