Max sits at their desk, they seem almost despondent with what has happened. Exasperated, they take a breath and speak a little more slowly and clearly then usual
"First of all, ah'm not Melissa Jones obviously. Ah am Max Cosmatopolis, ah am thuh leader of Zephyr Task Force a task force assigned to protect the NFZ rulings in Freeport 10 and Freeport 6. Ah have done this, for a couple months now with no incident besides the ones with MOA that you mentioned to my commander. aham not a warmonger, ah am not someone who will go into something blindly without logic, reason or thought. ah prefer we all be friends, but obviously some things are difficult. We make mistakes with friends, mistakes that turn into bitterness over time. We create mountains out of molehills, we bring ourselves to the brink of mutual war over misunderstandings. What happened to your pilot, in Delta ah wasn't there for that. We could of been more clearly, provided more information, more evidence but we didn't and we just told you to take our word for it.
Ah fought with you guys against Nomads, you had my back and ah had yours. Out of utmost respect for you and what you have done for us and with us ah offer that we both fall back from Freeport 10, heed to IRG's requests and then we put our knives away and we sit down and talk. Ah offer this because we'll lose people, we'll lose friends and family. We'll lose the decency within us that made us respect each-other in the first place. This is the logic of war. If people do not display wisdom. So we can compromise and sit at a table or we can continue down this road.

Resolution
Señorita Cosmatopolis,
Different things happen and I extend our regret to you personally that it has come to this. As you said, different things happen in times of war. At the moment, Maltese Hispania is taking steps to protecting its borders and securing Tau 37 system from foul IMG presence. In this regard, presence of non-affiliated security forces that protect the neutrality of a station harbouring various kind of people, a lot of whom act against us is a threat. Therefore, this conflict between our organisations would have risen sooner or later, regardless the spark that actually ignited it in the first place. This is to inform you that there is nothing personal about you or your involvement with MOA story, as MOA have been defeated anyway. But I am a servicement to my Don and my Nation, and I am to see their interests be protected for it is my duty. Nothing personal.
With this in mind, I inform you of the solution offered by the IRG and our readiness to heed it as it is mentioned in this communication. Nothing personal, but your vessel will be asked to leave to Velvet-controlled base and all matters of Freeport 10, including the defence, be left to IRG. Melissa Jones requested your ship to remain at Freeport 10 but we do not this condition. Again, nothing personal but the interests of my Nation. Hence, if the terms are agreed upon the Velvet side, the hostilities have reached their conclusion without actually shots fired, which is good in my opinion.
As for your suggestion to sit at the table and discuss matters - neither "Cuatroce" nor Maltese Hispania at the moment are interested in further development of relations with Velvet as of now. Perhaps, this will change in the future, perhaps not. We would prefer to stay away from each other in different parts of space and refrain from interaction to cool off the tensions before further negotiations are to be held, if any.
I bid you good day and wish good fortune in your endless war against the nomads.
