I am not really sure if you are aware that BAF made the first move against the Zoner independence by securing the area with their heavy battleship. Its presence is violation and outright insult of our neutrality and first step towards losing Gran Canaria. With that move, Bretonia had shown no intention for any negotiations with Zoners in regard to Omega-49. If their actions are not first steps towards invasion - I do not know what is it. The proper steps should be taken in the tone Bretonia will understand.
we are fully aware of the Bretonian Battlegroup within the Omega-49 system. It is hard to ignore a warship and her escorts when they are figuratively throwing shadows on our blue pearl, Gran Canaria. It is of course not the first time we have encountered warships in our home system. About four years ago, we could do nothing but watch as the Corsairs bombarded the planet with their powerful warships. And today it is a Bretonian warship that we frown upon, however not unexpected. The loss of the Cayman connection weakened the Corsair presence in 49 extremely, and it was just a matter of time until the balance of powers would be affected by it. Experts have predicted the Coalition or Bretonia to attack the Corsair colony on the planet. And there is nothing we can do about it.
The Zoner Communities have lost much in the recent years. Multiple freeports, many ships, but most importantly, many lifes. Freeports and ships can be rebuild. A human life not so much. It is because of this simple fact that we are extremely careful about the possible coming events, Mr. Lexington. Gran Canaria shall not turn into another diplomatic desaster and bloodpool like Freeport 11.
The presence of the Bretonian battlegroup, so far, is not breaking any laws the former Confederation of Freeports established. So far the Bretonians have not explained their intentions. Diplomatically seen, jumping to conclusions is a fatal fauxpas that could heavily impact the next days and weeks against our favor. Threatening the Bretonians is a diplomatic fauxpas.
We would prefer to talk with the Bretonians under calm circumstances. Of course, we can only represent ourselves. Similarly, and with all respect, we wish for you to represent yourselves and not us or anyone else. Canaria is a big world. There is enough space for everyone. And no turf is worth the risk of life. This is exactly where the roots of the Zoner Communities are originating: We left house space to avoid getting dragged into the wars of others.

I highly ask you to reconsider your statemement, Miss Joy. We will defend Gran Canaria both from Bretonian invaders and domestic traitors. Bretonian incursion is the open threat to Omega-49 being an independent star system. Therefore, we will not refrain from asking Molly Republic or Sirius Coalition for help, if Bretonia is up for invading our homes.
you have every right to defend yourself. As long as you are a member of the Zoner Community, by codex, this limits you effectively from provoking wars. If Bretonia actually engages the planet, you do your thing. If you spread the fire, it will not be Bretonia that will prevent you from accessing any Zoner installation.

I believe you misunderstand your situation, Mr. Lexinton.
we will not turn against anyone. However, if domestic traitors force our hands by implying they will engage in hostile actions against, as they claim, their own kind - the Zoners - the Zoners will no longer welcome these domestic traitors.
The Omicron Supply Industries managed, by the effective power of peaceful negotiation, to prevent the Corsairs, the Coalition and any other forces to take over the planet. Instead, said powers life in a fragile but somewhat working peace on the surface. Emphasis on fragile and peace. Any unthoughtful action can break this peace and many lifes would be at risk for the mistakes of very few people. Provoke a war and the blood of the Zoners will be at your hands, Mr. Lexington. If you truly value Gran Canaria and the Zoners for what they are, you will cease. Your cause will be lost if you ignite the flames. If they do, we will do our best to prevent the fire from spreading. With any implications.
This channel will remain closed until Bretonia explained the presence of Battlegroup Stirling.

I hope you can read this, Miss Joy. OSI deserves sincere apologies for the outright hostile messages we had been sending before. People are scared after unexpected move that was moving heavy BAF assets into Omega-49. You are right to vow for more toned solutions. Therefore, instead of impulsive activities that actually would mean doom of Omega-49's independence, the ABF shifts into more civil response that is spreading propaganda to raise Sirius' awareness about the recent events that disturbed population of Gran Canaria so hard, it led to Zoners blaming Zoners - and almost ignited unnecessary witch hunts.
We are scared. So are you, and rest of Omega-49 along with Zoner population across Sirius. For the moment we became so blinded with fear we did not act in logical ways. Please forgive us for our rhetoric.
