My friends,

It is remarkable how things change from one moment to another. Are your minds incapable of critical thinking, I wonder, or simply lacking strategic thought?

But let's take things from the beginning. All Lane Hacker operatives, from the most lowly Initiate to even Moriarty Himself faithfully follow our operational regulations. Any and every operation in Bretonia is conducted with utmost deference to Gaian Guard. No matter how lowly the GG pilot is, we will faithfully execute his orders and respect your supremacy in your House. Similarly we expect the same level of respect in our territory. So when a Corsair transport bearing the GG transponder enters our space it is natural to raise a few eyebrows. Especially when it does not carry the official GG Identification as it should have.

So when a Lane Hacker operative asks the unidentifiable Corsair transport to stop for questioning, it will stop even more so when this request is made by a sitting Professor. Repeatedly ignoring all warnings and going on your merry way is extremely inadvisable, my friends, the fact that Sequoia was simply damaged but not destroyed shows that such acts of disrespect are not valued but we also wish to avoid direct escalation. Such as the one you are exhibiting here.

The Lane Hackers is one of the few organizations in Sirius which values and keeps in such high regard your eco-struggle and ideas. We still do. But we expect your men to obey our commands just like we would do in a similar case. We only ask the obvious.

Please take the next few days and consider if we are worthy of this partnership. If losing one of your very few regional allies is something which will benefit your faction. Of course we also have gains from this partnership but the Gaian Guard is the one which makes tons of money by the artifact smuggling and also by steadily expanding its influence deeper into Liberty. And then consider the Corsairs, the ones who based on all accounts have somewhat partnered with your sworn enemies, the Kingdom of Gallia. Rememember, we both share a long list of mutual archenemies, and a very short one on allies.

Needless to say, the Lane Hackers will respect whichever path you may decide to take.
