I have found myself in similar situations many times since my early days with the Guardia Svizzera, so I am rather accustomed to this manner of communication. Nonetheless, I am relieved that we share the same perspective regarding any threats or dangers posed to our people's lives. Such actions are intolerable, and this is precisely why the Kepler Accords were established.
I believe there is no necessity for the Liberty Rogues or anyone else to be privy to the specifics of this agreement as it is between our organization and the Xeno Alliance, intended for our knowledge alone. Similarly, I would treat any agreements involving our other intermediaries and Malta as strictly confidential. The idea of making such details available to the Xenos, despite my diplomatic involvement with them, is beyond consideration.
As the Liberty Rogues are already informed about our dealings with the Xenos, it is likely that the Lane Hackers and perhaps the Junkers will become or already are aware of it too. Instead of releasing the full details of this agreement, I would find it more honorable to acknowledge its existence with candor should we be officially questioned about it. Only a bad liar persists with falsehoods even after they have been exposed.
Regarding the Golden Chrysanthemums, I inquired about the situation some time ago, yet I have yet to receive a response from them. Read-only details are attached below.
