A little birdie even told me you're no longer a Guildkeeper and have moved to the APM. Is that really true? I remember that you had a side business of turning Dagger Outpost into the best brewery that Sirius had seen, but I didn't expect you to get APM into the whole thing. Either way, I do hope this was a promotion of a sort. You were a loyal guildkeeper to the Core's cause and perhaps one of the few that didn't look down at me and Loyola with disgust for who we were. In fact I thought you'd become a Guildmaster by now, but perhaps it was for the better, considering the curse that title held.

But enough of the small talk, you're probably wondering the reason I'm contacting you. I'm hoping to renew a certain agreement between the Legión Maltesa and the Core that existed long ago, during one of the numerous Freeport 11 sieges. Obviously we have interest in operating in the systems the Core considers their rightful turf and are bound to run into each other. And even if the Nación of Malta and the Core Imperium are at hostilities, I would much rather focus on more pressing enemies such as the ever-present plague that are the aliens and their followers, the Corsairs and Golanski's attempt at imperialism known as "The Order". So what I'm offering is fairly simple:

"In the presence of other enemies of the Maltese Nación, be they Corsairs, Order, or any other group, faction or nation that Malta is actively in hostilities with, the Maltese Legion forces will prioritize said enemies over any Core forces in the area so long as the Core extends the same treatment towards the Legionnaires."

Do let me know what you think of said offer. Oh and if by any chance you're currently around Freeport 11 we could grab a drink.

Your offer sounds more than reasonable and mutually beneficial. The Maltese Legion sees no initiative to fight the Core anyways as well. I'll instruct my men of this change of ROE. Do get a secretary though, a man like you shouldn't waste his talents on boring paperwork, no matter what your higher-ups think.

P.S. Sorry for leaving the cat behind on Yaren when I left. I hope the little furball didn't make much of a mess in my old quarters there.

Awww, you should keep the little fluffball then! Consider it a gift from me! By the way, Bullet sounds like a much better name than his old one - Snowball.

Oh and we'll keep in touch, in case any such mutually beneficial ideas come to mind. Stay safe, Jack!
