To Bretonian High Command, and chiefs
Celcius Abonwood, Chief Executive Officer of Omicron Supply Industires
It would seem some, Gallic Crown Loyalists have decided to threaten OSI and Nichols, although its more of a blanket threat on all Zoner's due to lack of docking access to Zoner Stations.
Now i did try to explain that we Zoner's only really share a name, and that our bases are generally run by their own Administrators, just because one Freeport lets someone dock does'nt mean we all do.
It is a threat i cannot ignore and as Exeter is now part of the Bretonian Kingdom and under its protection, i hope that extends to Nichols Trade Centre. I of course have no intention of allowing these Enclave ships rights to dock on Nichols or Lanzarote, but it does mean we are likley to suffer their ire for that decision.
We are a Trade company, i employ a small security force made up of Escort craft, they are not equipped or trained to handle pilots who are equipped with dedicated War ships.
I have armed Nichols Weapon Platforms to fire upon the MdG but we will need more support should they decide to enact on their threats.
Below are the logs from mine and my employees ships so you can see for yourselves.

[25.02.2020 18:28:54] OSI-native: the administrator's leader is not here
[25.02.2020 18:29:18] MdG / -Minori.Shikizumi: Does your brain work?
[25.02.2020 18:29:27] MdG / -Minori.Shikizumi: I don't think so.
[25.02.2020 18:29:37] Native of OSI: I will check, please, a moment

[25.02.2020 22:24:19] OSI-Orinoco: Abonwood: No, as i wasnt here the first time
[25.02.2020 22:24:20] Death: Hunter_Co was put out of action by lisa (Gun).
[25.02.2020 22:24:23] MdG/-Minori.Shikizumi: Friend.
[25.02.2020 22:24:23] MdG/-Ruben.Leclere: Oh.
[25.02.2020 22:24:27] MdG/-Marc.Toure: Salut.
[25.02.2020 22:24:30] OSI-Orinoco: Abonwood: But i was informed if your..encounter with my employee
[25.02.2020 22:24:34] MdG/-Minori.Shikizumi: Do you respect me?
[25.02.2020 22:24:45] MdG/-Chasseur: So, you fixed our docking access then?
[25.02.2020 22:24:55] OSI-Orinoco: Abonwood: Im not aware of any docking access issues
[25.02.2020 22:25:07] 2020-02-25 22:25:08 SMT Traffic control alert: MdG/-Marc.Toure has requested to dock
[25.02.2020 22:25:08] OSI-Orinoco: Abonwood: Care to let me know the issue?
[25.02.2020 22:25:25] MdG/-Minori.Shikizumi: All Enclave ships are not allowed to dock at any Zoner installations.
[25.02.2020 22:25:39] OSI-Orinoco: Abonwood: Then you will need to take it up with their respective Administrators
[25.02.2020 22:25:41] MdG/-Minori.Shikizumi: We are to apply political and military pressure on Zoners until our docking rights are in space.
[25.02.2020 22:25:47] OSI-Orinoco: Abonwood: is that so
[25.02.2020 22:25:54] MdG/-Minori.Shikizumi: You will deliver a word to administrators.
[25.02.2020 22:25:59] OSI-Orinoco: Abonwood: I will do no such thing
[25.02.2020 22:26:12] MdG/-Minori.Shikizumi: Then we will be opening fire.
[25.02.2020 22:26:13] OSI-Orinoco: Abonwood: We Zoner's share only a name
[25.02.2020 22:26:17] MdG/-Chasseur: Then you are of no use to us.
If was after that point they made an attempt to destroy me and my ship, forcing me to dock and activate Nichols' weapon's platforms.
I will put what small amount of security ships i have on alert but they are escort's at best and so any assistance you can provide would be very welcome

I am Charlotte Yeager Nelson, commander of Bretonia Royal Fleet battleship Witch of Endor. I may not speak on behalf of the Admiralty, but i may speak on behalf of myself and my crew; we will not be going out of our way specifically to defend your installations, but any emergence of our unfortunate unfriendly neighborhood will not be tolerated and met with appropriate lethal force. That is all you need to know.

Let me elaborate, we will focus on protecting our fellow citizens and not random nomadic people with no loyalty or affiliation. You do nothing to protect Leeds refugees in Exeter from Corsair or Coalition attacks. But you quick enough to ring the bells when someone attacks you.
I will protect Bretonians first, you are disloyal people without citizenship with unclear intentions and I don't like it. I advise you to follow those who left the system. It's the House space now and all Zoners live outside of it. So please be a Zoner and leave.
Ward
I am not going to get into an argument with you, as there are many points i could make in return.
But if you represent the Admirialty and Bretonia in full, the stance you have shown wasnt entirely unexpected.
I had hoped to be proven Wrong, a shame.

Her Grace The Duchess of Westminster To:Celcius Abonwood, OSI
Subject:Enclave Threat
Ms. Abonwood,
Please disregard these two feckless idiots, neither of them speak on behalf of Her Majesty's Government or Armed Forces. I'll be having a word with the SIS about tightening up communications security in the future, as allowing such witless nobodies into sensitive communications can only make matters worse.
Now, on to the business at hand. We treat Enclave threats on any installation in Bretonian space with the utmost seriousness. Her Majesty's Armed Forces will, of course, assist you in defending Nichols Trade Center, just as we would any other civilian station in Bretonian space. We will increase patrols in the vicinity of Nichols. With luck, the show of force will encourage the Enclave to focus their limited forces elsewhere. In the event they attack, however, we'll be ready.
In Her Majesty's Service,
Lady Sarah Mountbatten, Duchess of Westminster
Ambassador-At-Large for the Kingdom of Bretonia
Your Highness
I am honoured by your responce, its not often i speak to Royalty.
To be frank, the comments of the others in this communication will be hard pressed to be ignored. They are feeling's we as Zoner's know do represent some within Bretonia.
Such comments have Damaged an already Fragile and tense situation.
Commadore Hall, who i beleive is the appointed "Governor-General" Of Exeter has contacted me seperatly though their tone about assistance is differant to yours. It may be worth asking them about whats been spoken about and if you should be included in our communications.
In regards to the previous repliers, perhaps they could use a refresh on reading communications in full so they see who it's addressed to before replying, as it reflects badly on you and your's quite poorley, so much so it now makes the task of any reconcilation harder. I trust repremands will be in order.
