It was quite alarming to witness our allies in the Republic turn their guns against us despite evidence to prove our innocence and accusations of orchestrating a set up to endanger the Order. That goes against anything that would validate our positive relationship which had only just begun to bloom.
Not only was it surprising that we were accused, but evidence was even provided to show that it was impossible for us to have even fired a shot. In addition, that gunboat is also not a part of our organization. The interface can quite clearly display that the reactor was not charged or able to sustain fire. We arrived to a gunboat which has at times been known to assist us and offer to aid our forces quite frequently. The pilot of the gunboat is Tia Stormclaw, a former member of an organization known as The BlackGuard, which was viewed as somewhat of a joke.
Any contact with her would need to be orchestrated directly. We can organize a meeting on neutral ground within Manchester in which your agents and engineers can examine the Solaris Batteries that had apparently caused significant damage to an Osiris... Somehow.
I'm still at a loss for what has occurred, and it's a step towards resolving this conflict in a positive way that you've taken here. We have no intention of harming the Crayter people or damaging our relations. That's why we've kept our fights out of your systems and promised to do so. We avoided the Order frequently in Coronado. Having your forces suddenly side against us with them was alarming and startling. I dare say I'm utterly appalled and offended that such a thing even happened, and should your investigation conclude what I know it will, I hope the Crayterian people will issue a formal apology to us for their hostile actions.
