Oh, I see. Now you decide to finally ask us if we are happy to see your capital ships flying in our Dublin. No, we are not and will never be. Your transports may be allowed, but only if they agree to follow our terms. However, there is a question. Why would you spend resources for Taus if you have an enemy to fight here, next to you? Bretonia just recently knocked on your doors, and Corsairs still exist, even if they're a bunch of hairy cannibals. Are you trading with someone from Taus? With who? The Colonial Republic, I suppose? However, let us proceed.

So be it: the Tayport Exterion will be disassembled – your people are allowed to come and perform the procedure. However, you should bring no combat ships except minimal required escort (up to a wing of fighters and one gunship). Our people will handle the protection of yours, and as long as you follow our orders - you will get no harm.

Your recognition gives us nothing. The Coalition is not even a rogue house – you are nothing in comparison to any big players like Gallia, Kusari, Rheinland and the rest. You may have a bit more power than we do, but this does not mean you're above us. Moreover, you offer your help. I guess zoners of Gran Canaria allowed your men to live on the surface, expecting assistance in return. Now the planet is in ruins, and Brets stole even an old docking ring. You did not interfere and stop them, which cause some questions. Moreover, the history with Mehmed Selim is a can of worms you don't really want us to open. The Syndey Accords were literally a betrayal of the Mollys by the Coalition as well. You can blame Selim, but he was not the only one who was there.

Your information is useless to us as well. We can take a look in a window and see the Bretonian fleet in the vicinity of the Hood asteroid field. Of course, the answer to the question where did you get this information is simple: you violated our borders and sneaked into our space. Not very polite of you. Nevertheless, the speed of your answer satisfied me. Therefore, Vaclav's reactor is now stable. You can lick our boots in thanks later. Now - think about offering us something worth and keep your ships away from our space.

Now, let's talk about the Vaclav, 'Gauls', Auxesian and other imaginary friends and enemies of the Coalition. Taking into account former experience with the Coalition, it must be obvious who's a liar. Anyway, the Gauls in Omegas. Yet another mockery over your 'power' or a badly prepared lie to excuse Vaclav's presence near our borders. Well, if a message from O'Healy says about Dublin, only you can contact the mustache guy and tell him how much you're resented. Perhaps, he'll come and slap my ass. Also, if you want to keep the dialogue going on, you better think twice before blaming us for working with the Enclave. Within Dublin, neither you nor they are welcome. Keep it in mind and think carefully about your answer.
