Konbanwa
I am taking this transmission now from Aramaki, since your pilot seems to not be interested in leaving a statement and you instead let one of your young Admirals that doesn't have anything better to do than cite laws and justify you firing on your allies.

So let me be clear on this. You engage a Gaul, and when he gets backup you don't want your allies to reinforce your ranks, to avoid losing another pilot? After that, you fire on an ally in the presence of said enemies and justify that by disobeying orders?

I get a feeling now why Bretonia had been performing so poorly in the past two wars, if it is only you protecting them, preferring to risk lives rather to save them and even shoot your allies in a warzone.

Aramaki gave you a pretty nice and reasonable possibility to apologize, instead you ignore his request, try to shift the blame on us, even try to placate us as criminals. You even dare to threaten us.

It is pretty interesting how we Kusarians get to be laughed at because of our sense of honor and stubbornness. Seems you have a twisted sense of the former and a too large portion of the latter.

But I don't want to waste time playing the blame game, I have a war to fight. Since you appear to be uninterested in us as allies, I will deny your request, Admiral. We will not leave this behind. Consider this here to be the end of our alliance. We don't want hotheads and triggerhappy adrenaline junkies like your pilots seem to be to endanger our lives any longer.

Every operation of the Imperial Guard, known to outsiders as 'Exiles', that had been conducted in Bretonia will come to an immediate end. Every soldier of the 343rd and imperial forces will leave your house immediately.

Furthermore, we don't want to see you in the Nagasaki System, which you perhaps know as Tau-29. Any Bretonian vessel except for civilian ones will be ordered to leave our space, and just so you know - this also applies to the bunch of criminals that you call your Privateers.

I hope you will get the Gauls a good beating. We can use them being occupied.

Sayonara
