First of all I would like to congratulate my former wife Eliza Valdez De Loyola and my dear brother in arms Ezio "Katana" Aquila. You have succeeded where I have failed and established the regime we all dreamed of. All intrigues and dirty games that oldie Benito have played against us are gone in vain as it seems. I've returned home recently and breathing Malta's air after such a long time is truly humbling. I am proud of you and what you did.

Also want to congratulate rising starts of Maltese business and politics, señores from Cádiz Cártel. I had no pleasure working with you yet, but from what I've heard, we will get along. I guess it's about time for us to get to know each other a bit closer.

I will reestablish my stable and proper work for our people, señores. But before that, there's an urgent matter to address to. There's a small Gallic force isolated in upper Taus, led by the capital ship RNS Charente. They refuse to surrender to newly formed Gallic government. As I have some connections in Gallia, they are at some point have surrendered to me. In order to save them, of crouse. However, I believe that It's not safe to keep them close to other Gauls. Maybe they will surrender to the new government the other day, after we help them, who knows.

Plan and the agreement that we have reached is the following:
1. They keep their banner, ranks, insignia and all other important to the naval officer things.
2. They cease to ever oppose Malta or it's interests. And will fight against all of our enemies, excluding remaining Royalist. This is why it's important to move the off the Tau theater.
3. They will be able to safely pass Maltese space from Omicron Tau to our Omicron or Sigma frontier.
4. Movement via Maltese space will be done with sensor and sonar activity reduced to 1k, with the mapping of the route disabled.
5. Movement via Maltese space will be escorted by the Legion and/or Cartel forces.
6. During the moment via Maltese space, RNS Charente will take Maltese harbor pilots onboard to monitor compliance with this agreement.


That would be it, I hope nobles señores will accept this plan. This way we will get rid off a small problem in Taus and create problems to our enemies in other places. And naturally, I take all responsibility for this on myself.

I am informed about Vatan's case. Under the Crimson Cross we indeed had standing orders of not attacking Vatan signature. I was a simple flying officer back then, and command did not provide orders with reasoning. When I was a chairman in the National Council, we have never crossed with that signature, no reports were coming. Though, we have kept the transition period with the Cross' regulations. Especially when it was coming to sensitive topics, religious beliefs and such. We had to unite the Nation to stand against the foreign enemy. It is wise to end this transition period and guard our space properly.

So yes, I understand your concerns. I think it will be a little problem with pointed out additional terms of surrender. Most problematic one I see is official surrender declaration. They are..., eh problematic people to work on that matter. But I guess it's up to them to swear loyalty to Loyola familia, after all. I, of course, get a lot if they do. But in the end, it's them who want to survive, not us.

First of all, they will provide crew member list and basic medical documentation. Scans of all equipment would not be the problem, we will have a lot of time to have most detailed scans during the movement.

From the infestation and healthcare stand point: I am not the fan of them leaving their ships and stepping on Maltese bases or planet Malta itself as long as we are not sure that they are clean. I believe that it would be much wiser and more efficient to scan them on APM/Core facility. They have much better equipment and much richer experience of dealing with potential nomad infestations. And H+ Clinic is one of the best medical facilities of Sirius. This way we minimize the risks for our people and maxing up the efficiency.

I guess I will now let their commanding officer, Lauren Charlotte La'Row to have a word on this channel. In order to her to confirm reached agreements. Surrender and swear the loyalty to Loyola familia.

Thank you, we will start moving once we will plan rest of the route. For now I can tell, that we will most likely head to Sigmas to meet with the Core forces. Once we will make all necessary medical procedures, you or your people will receive all necessary documentation.

Until then...
