Minister,

Firstly, I thank you for once more allowing our civilian ships access to your territory. We have not aimed to take this gesture for granted before and we do not aim to yet.

Now, as I stated before, Crayter's sole interest alongside Bretonia's demands was the punishment of Admiral Dupuoy; If the Union has made certain to ensure that any former Royalist personnel, including the members of the Royal family, receive the appropriate punishment, then all we (and Bretonia) would need are the documentation. While it isn't exactly what Bretonia wants, it still follows the spirit of the demand, and Crayter at least will be satisfied.

As for the remainder of your words, they do ring truth.
Bretonia as a nation is prideful by nature. Crayter is aware, as I'm sure the Union is. Even with the benefit of hindsight, and despite Bretonia's unfortunate decision to liberate Edinburgh instead of aiding us in Tau-44, it was to be expected given Bretonia's history. However, despite this they remain at our back and we at theirs, at least for the time being. How they will plan to enforce these demands of theirs against the Union will no doubt have an impact on this, I'm sure, as most of the demands are to their benefit.

Kusari on the other hand.. To be frank, Crayter has no more trust in Kusari than we do in any regular pirate band. The pact, as I said before, was primarily to end our war with Kusari, and to receive reparations from them as well as our anchorage in Tau-31. Beyond the stipulations of the treaty, I personally don't expect to be in contact with the Kusari representative for long.

I will be rather frank, Minister. The last thing either of us wants is another war. It litters the Taus with wrecks, it costs precious lives, and forces us to take measures when we would much rather be providing development for our citizens. As I said, Crayter has no interest in following Kusari or Bretonia should they decide to feign a defensive retaliation, and we don't intend to divert from that ideal. Whether or not the same is true for Bretonia or Kusari is hotly debated, but you have the Republic's stance on this.

In service to the Republic.
