Konbanwa, Monsieur and Mademoiselle,

Recently i, Sakurai of the Augus Clan, have had a chance to encounter one of your field operatives at the outpost in the system that only recently caught our eye, Lyonnais. Recent reconnaisance proven that it belongs to nation Galouise, and that security measures here are... doubtful. Anyway, this discussion is not about the quality of the law enforcement in the area, but about the proposition made during our brief conversation. As you may already know, Gallia have recently established neutrality with the House of Kusari and established some trade relationship with it's corporations, that are now permitted to enter Gallic space, and the convoys passing through the border worlds, such as Nagano and Rishiri, are now a common sight. And that's what really bothers us, we would like to see this convoys beaten into dust, as well as any ship that dares to trespass the said systems. In exchange we are willing to provide you with some recently developed military-grade equipment, we have already reached out to our allies to request the first shipment of the said military-grade equipment.
I will be looking forward to your response.

Salut.

I am Commandant Matthieu Picard of l'Unione Corse Armed Division. I speak on behalf of our organization in this matter.

Mademoiselle Augus, I do not think you understand to whom it is you speak. We are businessmen, not terrorists you can hire to murder for so many trinkets and baubles. We will not become villains on your behalf.

Your intent toward the Rishiri corridor also directly affects many of our well established business interests in the region and beyond, something we do not look kindly upon. It would be in your best interests to forget such plans ever existed.

I will state this one time. Go deal with the true threat beyond; surely you know of what I speak. Leave our territory, our vessels, and our interests alone. If you fail in this you shall regret crossing us, as previous clans of yours before have regretted doing so.

Au revoir.

Konbanwa, Monsieur Picard,

I am bringing you my sincere apologies for both the long response and the terrible misunderstanding we've had at the very beginning of our conversation, and hearing such statement makes me relieved - all the unlawful groups we've encountered so far didn't bear much of a difference from the actual 'pirates'. Since you position yourself as businessman - then let us make a business. I understand that our initial conversation started not on the correct attitude, and you may not too fond of Augus clan now, but i give you my word of honor - we never sought for a way to offend you, rather to perform a friendly approach and ensure long-lasting relationship.
I am looking forward to your response.

Salut.

Mademoiselle Augus, if you are the voice of your clan, I am not hopeful for your future.

You reach out to us as just another "unlawful group"? You say that we merely "position ourselves as businessmen"? And now you expect that a few flowery words about honor and mutual relationship will make us forget your wholly uniformed understanding of who we, l'Unione Corse, are?

Non.

We have already stated our expected terms towards you and you have provided nothing in your recent communique that has persuaded the Sénat to alter that expectation. Keep to that and we will not even notice that you are there. Breach our terms, and we will make it our business to deal harshly with you.

Au revoir.
