I am afraid our options are fairly limited when it comes to direct cooperation. All of our forces within Liberty, and most in the independent systems of Cortez and Magellan, are subordinates of Captain Harrington. Given that the Lane Hackers do not wish to cooperate with them, we believe that trade or scientific exchanges would be our best choices. We are currently capable on redirecting a few transports towards artifact deliveries to Mactan, although it will not be much given the current state of affairs in Bretonia, and are also open to hear if you require our research expertise.
As for our approach towards cardamine, we are not opposed to the substance itself. The fact that it's deeply intertwined with Sirius' slave economy is what makes us wary of it, and the reason we intercept shipments should we encounter one. We are not bothered if an individual uses it willingly, nor if they carry a personal supply. Nevertheless, given that Malta has a total monopoly on the drug, we do not and will not permit its usage within our own ranks.
