I am the Curator of Battlegroup Auxesia. Seeing as the ruthless advance of the Core has been quelled, we believe now is the time to discuss that which you have noted. In case it may have slipped your mind, I have attached the data recording from the craft I was piloting when we spoke. Additionally, I trust you are well. The combat was heavy, and even with our many victories there would be battle scars.
SCRA|CPW-Trotsky: Garcia: You are still considered enemies of the Coalition however we have decided to suspend hostilities until after the crisis
SCRA|CPW-Trotsky: is settled. Depending on future events and actions we can negotiate terms to settle hostilities.
SCRA|CPW-Trotsky: However, those terms would involve some sort of compensation for your disruption of a few vital activities.
SCRA|CPW-Trotsky: Garcia: I trust you understand the situation, many within the Coalition are very angry. I am however, speaking well of you
SCRA|CPW-Trotsky: Garcia: Given your recent aid to both the Revolutionary Army, Myself and the Zoners.
SCRA|CPW-Trotsky: Garcia: I trust I have been abundantely clear. Safe travels for now.
In the past, there were conflicts and disagreements between our two forces. From my perspective, the conflict began due to a misunderstanding, where one of your vessels was caught moving materials we deem as dangerous if not properly contained. Said pilot refused to elaborate on the materials, and as per our duty and protocol, we reclaimed them for containment. Since then, however, we've come to fight side by side with the Revolutionary Army against the Totalitarian force of The Core, and have learnt of your ties to the Order. Attached below is the footage from Guardian Keating, showing the cooperation between our forces and the Hessians, which had lead to a glorious victory in Omicron Theta.
Understand that we have no intention of inciting further violence between one another. Knowing now from the Order that you are aware and capable of containing the dangerous materials we had confiscated shows me that you are not after such for personal gain. This is, as I see it, acceptable, and we would be willing to return the materials to your people at our utmost convenience. Furthermore, as noted by Fleet Marshal Garcia, there are terms to be negotiated. Thus, I will await for a response from your Government.

Hello Curator,
I am pleased that the Delta crisis is beginning to slow down. It seems our efforts to stem the Core fleet proved successful. Now that the Zoners and their other allies have managed a more sustainable foothold, the Revolutionary Army can focus on other theaters of war.
It's hard to voice anything but absolute displeasure however at how our hostilities began. It is not something easily forgotten. The Coalition does however pride itself on remembering the past while moving forward into the future, something I'm sure you'll come to appreciate in its fullest.
Returning the stolen materials would be a first step in reconciliation, but that is merely the beginning.
It is no secret that the Revolutionary Army has engaged in skirmishes with a group called the Reapers of Sirius, and now an offshoot called the Fallen Angels. They have been nothing more than a minor nuisance, unworthy of our attention. If you were to assist in removing some of their assets around Sirius that would go a long way.
Finally, I've heard through a variety of channels that you've managed to annoy the Order, one of our key allies in the Omicron region. I will do what I can to make the Order see the Auxesia for what they truly are but you will need to do your part as well in ensuring relations are smoothed over.
Once you have addressed these points, perhaps we will have something more to discuss in the future.

Subject: RE: Peace talks Fleet Marshal Joseph Garcia,
I'm delighted to see how quickly you've responded. It certainly speaks well for the professionalism within the Coalition.
First, in regards to the confiscated materials, a Logistics vessel will be dispatched under escort within the coming days to return them to the Revolutionary Army. I'm sure you understand why such an action was taken, as at the time we were unaware of your standing. Knowing now that you have the means to contain such leaves me with faith that the materials will not be squandered and harmful to your people or others. Use them wisely.
To address the Reaper threat in which you've noted, my answer will be less than satisfactory. Such a matter is, as we see it, not our fight. While it may be unfortunate for you to hear such, it is the way it is. However, do not let this dissuade you from future cooperation. There are others in which a unified force might prove helpful, such as the Corsair Empire, and their disgusting Artifact trade, or the Maltese, and their existence being disgusting as a whole. However, we will not be able to divert resources to the Reapers of Sirius.
Lastly, I am currently in the midst of negotiating with The Order for a secession of hostilities. Several days ago, we met with a member of the Overwatch, and discussed the future of our two groups. The next night, an Order kill squadron was sent after myself and our leader, ignoring the notion that the kill order was suspended. Where we stand now is at the precipice of our future. Once again, violence was incited upon us without merit, and it may be that diplomacy will topple downwards into further hostilities. I can only hope that they're willing to see reason within my words, and cease the needless "Blood for blood" crusade against us.

Good Evening,
I am pleased to confirm that our forces have retrieved and stored the alien materials that were stolen from us. They have of course been sent to a secure facility.
I can understand if you cannot or will not divert resources to combat the Reapers of Sirius. They are truly insignificant and them, as well as any of their allies will stand to be crushed under the might of the Revolutionary Army. It is inevitable really.
The poor relations you have with our allies puts me in a difficult position however. Until you reconcile with the Order and others allied to us the best I can offer is this:
The Sirius Coalition and the Revolutionary Army will not attack or intentionally hunt down the Auxesia and the Auxesia agrees to remain out of our way whenever possible. If the Auxesia is engaging any of our allied forces we will be forced to intervene on the side of our allies. As such, I suggest you minimize the possibility of further aggression with the Order and other organizations.
Many within the Sirius Coalition consider this to be exceedingly generous given the past transgressions.
I trust this will be acceptable for now. If and when relations with our allies become less strained, we can perhaps discuss things further.

Subject: RE: Peace talks Fleet Marshal Joseph Garcia,
On the topic of the Order, I feel it only right to mention their terms for a secession of hostilities that they have offered, or in this case, demanded. The Order have asked me to execute our leader, on the grounds of, as she put it, candy-coated justice. It is my personal belief from previous experience that this, as they have put it, non-negotiable ultimatum is a means of removing one of the greater minds Sirius has seen in years. I see this as a means of weakening ourselves to be terminated by the Order, and until I come to a verdict on how to act with them, I will not be pursuing further reparations of relations in that regard. If they had come to you personally, and asked you to remove the person you follow, the leader of your Government or Military in the name of justice under the Order's banner, would you do such?
Furthermore, on the topic of cooperation, it has come to our scout's attention that a minor Cretin installation was recently constructed at the borders of their home. This station could potentially be used in the movement and filtering of the Artifact trade, which we are highly opposed to. Knowing the stance of the Coalition and the Cretin Empire, I see this as an opportunity for a joint strike to cripple the flow of their economy. Further details are withheld until a response is given.

The order have always been... heavy-handed when it comes to broaching the topic of diplomacy with them. Never the less they are currently our allies and we will not compromise our relation with them, certainly not while the Core and the Alien threat continues to rise.
While information on the base would be appreciated, at the present time a joint-strike would not be possible at the present time due to other ongoing operations elsewhere. As it stands right now our relations can best be described as "stay out of my way, I'll stay out of yours."
