Dearest General,
I am more than pleased to hear of your hold of fire upon our little corner of the southwest.
I represent the micronation of Natio Octavarium, a nation that is very micro and very precariously nestled between a bunch of interesting folk up in the northern Taus. Crayterians, Outcasts, rockhoppers, Gallic royalists, Gallic anti-royalists... None of them are shootin' at us, what with bein' more inclined to shoot at each other, but we are in the crossfire and we are, y'know, civilians. I'm sure someone will snap up there eventually, but I digress.
Our station is an embassy to the Omegas, one which has no military purpose whatsoever, I assure you. We have no quarrel with y'all. I have been informed by my people that your people will no longer be targeted by the station's self-defense plinkers.
If you still want to make the metals kiss and the plasma turn lively, then we would appreciate the heads-up. Ain't many people on this station but pulling them out could take a few hours.
With warmest hearts,
Ambassador Daryl Ogden
Natio Octavarium
