Annora stands before the camera with her arms folded.

To the representatives of the Molly movement in Dublin, laying down your lives in its defense: my name is Annora. I once led the Gaian Underloch, some eleven years ago, when the Gallic Royal Navy was our largest concern. We were enemies then--we are still enemies now, at least on paper. However, we have larger concerns at the moment.

I will cut to the chase. It's in both of our movements' best interests that Dublin does not fall. A breach of the blockade upon the system by the Bretonian Armed Forces is a loss that you cannot afford, and it would signal the beginning of the end for the Dublin system. While there are those among the Gaian movement who would celebrate such a thing, I can see what the consequences of such a loss would bring, and I can see that Edinburgh and Gaia would be next on their chopping block. This cannot come to pass.

In service to this, I volunteer my destroyer, Talon's Embrace II, in the defense of your system. Regardless of our differences in ideology, neither of us can afford this defeat.

You do not know me. You do not know whether or not I'm trustworthy. I only hope that you'll see that this offer benefits both of us equally, and that I wouldn't bother to make it if I weren't sincere.

Let me know your thoughts. Until then.

Good evening, Gaian.

I'm Imogen O'Sullivan, im the Admiral of the Assembly's fleet arm.
Your communication is unexpected, but i'll spare the commentary.

We've worked with a few Gaians in the past. Some trade, some gunfights. Complicated relationship aside, its gratifying to hear you have the foresight to see where Bretonia will go from here if they get what they want. We'll be glad to have your hand in this fight, i know better than to pass up some help over a few ideological differences, and every loss we deal to Bretonia helps us both in the long run, even if we don't get along half the time.

I'll make sure our people know you're working with us and to keep off your back.

Admiral Imogen O'Sullivan.
