Mr. Daniels,

I can see that you have made very valid points, but unless we find a way to end this conflict one way or another, it's going to hinder the ability of all of us to combat the real threat.

In regards to Nauru, I never had any intention of the Core surrendering their plans to build a capital. If anything, I had planned to split the border along where Freeport 11 lies. However, your argument does provide the fact that I'd only be giving Golanski a inch, and with men like him, they'll take 500 Sirian Units worth of inches. A simple agreement of a joint installation would be suitable, and allow major parties to each have a stake in the function of the annexes in question.

As for IRG, As I've looked over some of Akibara's old documents, I've come to see your conclusion on this - that IRG was in the right to defend and build Carthage, and if anything, Golanski and the Order probably attacked it out of malice because of your Guildmistress, who I have plans to meet in the coming days - She's called me to Nauru - extended a olive branch to my people and with said olive branch, a physical token of peace. The Corsairs have lost something as well, a few of their ships. I wanted to try and prevent more hostilties, especially now that the Corsairs are wanting Erzie's head and the PRIME AI are wanting everyone who isn't a Gammu-born AI or a Corsair, the everliving hell out of Kappa, lest they be "harvested". My interests immediately are those of the people on this station, as well as the people this station associate with - Namely IRG, OSI and the CoF at large. I'm trying my best to deescalate the situation here in Delta, as well as for other Zoner Installations and entities in the region. I don't want to end up on a Hit-list like my predecessor is, but then again, Kusari's government wants me in a jail cell, and Gallia either wants me to rot in Kusari or have the king personally decapitate me.

Sara Shepard is, if anything, one of the few people in the Order trying to deescalate things, as she's been responsible for recanting Golanski's prior threats. Golanski is a ****ing madman with a short fuse, and if anything, she and I both can't stand him. This peace is not a fear tactic, and if anything, I am the one who called for peace, before I had gotten a response from Brettonias Wingspan about signing the necessary paperwork to become administrator. The only reason that poor woman sticks around in the Order is because she thinks that she can change Golanski for the better - something sadly, I have had doubts about her being able to do, and still do - and If it weren't for my kind nature, I would tell her the truth and say that there's no changing a paranoid power-crazy man like Golanski. The only way for peace between the Core and Order, the way that I see it personally, is if that madman is gone, and the organization reforms back to its' ways under Orillion, instead of trying to be some bastard child of Orillion and Caesar, trying to take over the entire damn edgeworlds.

I want to leave the option of peace on the table, but for the time being, with the political situation as is, I can't really take risks by letting Golanski possibly use this olive branch as a weapon to try and gain ground against the other parties in this region. As such, I have no choice but to remain with the situation as is with my predecessor until I have a clear picture of the grander situation at hand. I don't know the internal situation with the CoF right now, as well as a few other things that I want to get clear. I do appreciate you giving your point of view, as it's made me aware of a few things and had me do some deeper research.

The Freeport expansion will be rebuilt as planned - However, I'll be revisiting the ownership situation. However before I do, I'll have to consult Brettonias and Voncloud.

In conclusion, rest assured, I'm not turning against you, nor is there any chance of that, Guildkeeper - Nor am I going to let Golanski take advantage of me. I just want to analyse and take a look at the grander situation I have on my hands before I engage in more proactive diplomacy. My new goal with all this is to at least mitigate the risk of any future damage to Zoner Installations under my control, and under the control of the CoF at large. The talk with Guildmistress Loyola will be coming up in a few days, I hope she'll bring good tidings from me to the rest of the Core with my visit. As for the situation regarding operations against the Nomads, I assure you If the experiences I've had fighting alongside your contemporaries is anything to go by, I can personally say this much - I wouldn't mind strapping a Incubus to a table and having you and me make sushi with it, if you catch my drift.

Signed,

Nodoka Hanamura
