Good morning, chaps. Or day? Night? Terribly sorry if this pings you at night, but it is morning here. It's so difficult to synchronize our clocks with all the different planets, especially ones we know so little about! It would be terrific to know the time zone of your capital city so we can avoid gaffes like this in the future.

You chaps and I haven't worked together much, as you can see my primary area of concern is Exeter, but we did work on a certain crucial document, which is why the Bretonian government asked me to speak with you.

This document, the Basilica Treaty, outlined that the Bretonia will work covertly against the Crayter Republic to assist Malta, and in return Malta will recognize Tau-31 and parts of 23 as Bretonian territory. Four standard days ago, Bretonia took Planet Harris back from the Crayter Republic via diplomacy. Crayter got nothing in return, of course. But taking an entire planet from your enemies is not a small event and we in Bretonia believe it is one worthy of at least... a congratulation. I know the Maltese as very intelligent people and I am sure four days are enough for you to notice such an enormous occurrence, but Bretonia is a bit confused by the complete non-existence of any message from your part. We were wondering, are you all in good health? What is the political landscape now like on Malta? I hope you haven't been... err... supplanted like those many before you?
