"Good day Bretonia officials, I am Emiko Hayashi, a Freelancer who has recently returned to my usual life a few days ago after some problems went down in the Omicron systems about a week ago. Yesterday I brought one of my ships into the queen's space, while it was under cloak. I understand this might sound bad, but understand, my ship is an Osprey class fighter, and I was merely meeting my boyfriend on planet Cambridge however the Osprey was a second-hand passed down vessel I rented from someone on Barrier Gate which...I found out why it was cheap, the guy hid Gallic weaponry and illegal cargo on board. However during my short time up there, the capital vessel, HMS Thunderer halted me, and asked that I drop my cargo and leave to remove the weaponry...well, I gave the ship back, it was not mine, rented after all...however said I should contact the crown if I wanted to get permission for what I'm about to ask...I wish to move a small group of engineers to the queen's space, which at this time, is about eight ships, four of them will follow below, as their the ones that will stand out...I will give a list however at the end of this comm on what all vessels are, the four however are as followed."
"The Vibrant.Songs, Vibrant:Songs, Vibrant;Songs and Earthly:Songs. In this order, each ship is this. The first is a heavily damaged Perilous Council gunship that was recovered from the border systems of Gallia and repaired with the help of the Maquis, before you ask, no, I am not affiliated with them, rather I helped them after they saved my life. The Perilous is currently resting and moored to Barrier gate however is mostly unable to move due to the age and damage upon it, it has the standard, repaired mind you, Council forward gun, two gunship missile launchers, and four basic turrets, no armoring system however is fitted with a cloaking system, as moving her past the royalist forces was rather hard. The second Song ship, is actually a Heron train, we exchanged out the freighter and replaced it with a legal vessel, freelancer identified ship that is mainly used to move cargo for our small group, it is one of the three we have, the other being a personal vessel of Gwent, which is a mining civilian vessel and the other, which belongs to another wing member, which is a Kusarian drone freighter. The third vessel is a Montante gunship, which is actually weaponless, it also as a cloaking system but hear me out, its mainly used to tow the Perilous right now, and is drone operated. And the last ship another one we are repairing, which is an Agama council heavy fighter which is still resting in the Perilous's bay. As for the cloaking devices, they were used to slip past royalist forces with the damaged ships safely, that's about it. We got rid of the Lynx and Brigand freighter already, so the two last Gallic ships we have, is the two council ones."
"On our group, we are a small group of engineering freelancers, not like research or anything like that. Me, Gwent and my small group of friends and workers actually repair ships, salvage part from wrecks or entire parts, and restore them. As for the Gallic ships, both of them, the Perilous and Agama are both freelancer identified vessels under me personally. I've been trying to repair them both as of late, however found it is rather unsafe within Coronado for me and my small group. My boyfriend, Gwent and myself, was wondering if we could move our small operation to planet Cambridge, if allowed. We don't pirate, nor do we smuggle, as for who I am, I am Emiko Hayashi, a freelancer from Kusari who left recently due to the outbreak case of civil war, Gwent is actually from Bretonia and has worked in halting Gallic ore mining operations in the past and brought the materials back to the queen in return. I myself have rarely been to the queen's space, however I'm willing to try and live there in peace. If allowed to move there, I will also offer our services to the queen as well, as our group hold plenty of knowledge on the subject of...well, repairing ships, perhaps we could help repair some of withdrawn ships from the field however that is up to the crown. I look forward to your response, and if you have any more questions, please feel free to ask, or if you wish to meet us in person, we are current stationed on the Barrier Gate inside the Coronado system. Hope to hear form you soon."

Mrs/Mr Hayoshi,
I am Admiral George Richard Hall and in command of the Thunderer. Your ship was carrying illegal equipment and materials when we encountered it, including Gallic marines and alien artifacts. It was also cloaked and, after being uncloaked by the Thunderer, fired at by our stations. Besides that, you admitted possessing a Gallic Royal Navy ship, as well as an unusual mixture of other Gallic ships.
How do you explain this and why do you think Bretonia would, after all of it, allow you access?
"Konbanwa, mister Hall, as per my word, I will answer your questions, as these mostly go to me. First of things, the marines I forgot were in my bay entirely, they were actually two I picked up from space (in truth, I utterly forgot about them). As for the artifacts, I actually pulled all twenty off a Corsair wreckage in New London itself, as said, we tend to mess with wreckage a lot and I forgot to destroy them. As for the cloaking device and why I was fired upon, it was a rented Osprey from Barrier gate, as I told the captain, I was going to see my friend ground side on Cambridge, AKA mister Stephen Gwent. As for the royal ship, we actually lost it entirely, it was a wreck, it stayed up there, I knew better then to bring a royalist vessel to the queen's space...I noticed I didn't answer the cloak and why I was shot at. First being, I had just fled past the blockade of the Tau's, my ship was indeed hostile to some things that I didn't take into my head, including the armed forces, I had not fired on them or anything of the sort, it merely me forgetting to sort out my systems. As for the cloak...I'll be honest, admiral, bypassing royalist capital vessels in an armorless and weak ship is BEYOND from being easy, so I instead cloaked past. As for why I was cloaked in Cambridge, it was more so that I didn't cause problems and leave the system, as per request. As to explain the Lynx, its actually a older generation module that me and a Maquis pilot recovered, a wreck if you will, and mostly (and very poorly) repaired. Right now is up in their space, waiting, as I was unsure how the queen or her soldiers would react to hearing such. As for the weapons, they are mostly recovered from wrecks, as usually our group found them easier to repair, and there are several Gallic weapon-holding wrecks within their border systems, not much I hope there is to explain there, as that is basically it."
"And why we choose Bretonia? Honestly sir, I wish to help the queen and her forces however I can, my home is on the brink of war, royalist are breaking in, yet I still see safety in Bretonia. Gwent said it was much more safer there, and he's from Bretonia so I though I'd trust him and send a comm, and if we are allowed within her space, we'd like to provide repair-able jobs for her forces. I myself have been studying in the field of repairs, and Gwent has plenty of information on such as well. If you got any more questions, I've fixed my first comm for you with recent details as well, just in case, anyways, just ask if you need more information and I will provide the best I can."
"That is quite simple, once I saw that I was unable to dock with the ring, I moved to leave. As I did, I saw capital fire in the distance and moved closer, under cloak, to see what was going on. Upon noticing the Corsair vessels assaulting the Thunderer, I remained under cloak as not to alert either party. My father used to work for the Kusarian naval forces, though retired, he always said that decloaking ships usually distracted captains or pilots, I personally knew it would distract the gunners of the battleship or so I feared so I hid till the Corsairs were tended to before moving closer to speak with the captain on my situation on how I could not land."
"Understand, I don't like getting into trouble with the local military or police forces, so I did what I though was best, and spoke to the nearest officer I could find about what I should do, that being the HMS Thunderer, who's comm officer said it would be best to send a comm. And yes, my friend is Stephen Gwent, a independent Bretonian miner who I've been showing around as of late, he lives on Cambridge and I usually met him outside the planet. This time was different as two weeks ago, I was caught offguard in the Tau systems by royal forces, only to be saved by the Maquis, hence why the ship was hostile to the queen's people, as it rerepped to allow me to land on Maquis stations to recover."
A quiet sigh is heard before Emiko continues "But yes, Stephen was ground side waiting for me, that's why I was out there however I forgot about checking my ship entirely, that's my fault, so I wanted to ask for help and that's why I moved to the Thunderer, why I seemed off...that's honestly simple...I was in an armorless and regenless Osprey super heavy fighter...I was scared because, having the Thunderer, which I've heard stories of before, stare my ship down, was enough for me to become worried of being shot down...that's the honest truth. As for that ship, I got rid of it per the officers request, the only two Gallic ships with our group now is the Council Perilous which I will be trying to outfit with basic sirian tech soon, and the Agama council heavy fighter, we got rid of Osprey and its weapons, the freighter entirely and the Lynx, that was Gwents request so I did such. As for what Gallic tech we have left, its those two ships, and the six weapons on the Agama which I will be changing out on Barrier soon for civilian tech. As for what happened to the ships, I turned them over to the Council...I'm not on the royalist side, nor the kings and I refuse to ever be on his side...I fled Kusari because of his actions up there, that why I'm with Gwent on Barrier right now. Anyways, I hope that answers those few questions. Also, here are visuals on the four ships."

Mrs/Mr Hayoshi,
We have no evidence of your allegiance to our enemies, but we are still suspicious and you have committed a crime after all. In order to be permitted access to Bretonian stations, you are to pay the 2,000,000 credits fine for possession of equipment produced by a hostile nation, clause 3.12 of the Bretonian Charter of Interstellar Law. Forward the payment to the account of BAF|Armoury. Before we employ you as a mechanic, you are to destroy 10 automated or crewed ships of our enemies and provide proof here, those being 5 Gallic and 5 Corsair.
As an alternative, a piece of your cargo on the Perilous has indeed caught my attention.
"As well per the forth, alternative, I have already meet you in space and turned the cargo over, plus forty extra, meaning both jobs, plus the extra third are completed, as well as having paid the fine."
