Good morning, Señor Machete and General Garcia:
I don't doubt your intentions make the most sense for you, and that each one of you wants to protect Omega 49 from the other. However, the mess you made the other day with the bombing of Gran Canaria has been incredible.
I 'm not a resident of this planet, but I'm here for a few weeks for some business, and I've observed what type of life have people of Gran Canaria. The truth is that I found a rather quiet and nice, and its inhabitants seem happy. Or at least it seemed, until you decide to bomb the surface of their home furiosly from your powerful battleships.
The horrors that this massacre has provoked, I had not seen in years. How can you claim to be protecting a planet while you submit it under the fire of your mortars? One of my assistants took this image from the window of the hotel where I stay. The image is a simple example of the destruction that has taken place due to the bombing.
Although I don't share it, I can understand that your political differences require be resolved through war, but, in the Holy Name of Deux, the civilian population of Gran Canaria doesn't need more pain. With that you've already provided it's enough. Don't bombard the planet again.
At the moment NCC has sent the Pontifical Carrier Magallanes, Aquilon class, to the orbit of Gran Canaria, with a cargo of medicines and personnel prepared to intervene if it should happen a humanitarian crisis.
Deux be with you.

-A 2km area around the Villa is military esclusione area, any armed individual may enter this area, under penalty of arrest and trial.
-Every individual who seeks refuge in one of our private churches enjoys the protection of the Covenant, if desired arrest or interrogate a particular resident, file a formal request which says the indictment charges, if any, or the because of his arrest.
These are the conditions of the Covenant.
Deux gives us strength and shows us the way, illuminating yours too.

we are all deeply religious people, as you can see. *makes some hard-to-define crossing-like move*
All your help in solving this humanitarian crisis caused by SCRA will be most welcome. I'm sure that Aquilon class ship you've sent is not armed and hides no spies on board, does it? I mean... It's in humanitarian mission now, si? We are both here to help civilians in this time of war, senor. It would be pretty inconvenient if it puts in danger our legitimate Carabineros patrols enforcing law and order.
You have my all respect, senor. *makes another hard-to-define crossing-like move*

We have bombarded more SCRA locations!
4 nuclear missiles have been fired on the locations and a barge of bio-toxin plasma weapons have been fired.
If the radiation doesn't kill the SCRA, the toxin will.

Señor Pepe "El Comisario":
I have to say no, our Carrier is not disarmed. We're people of Deux, and peaceful, but certainly we're not idiots. Only the trip of our ship to Omega 49, would be enough dangerous to justify their weaponry, not to mention other dangers as the Nomad threat.
However, you must not worry for this. The crew of the Magallanes will not open fire on Empire ships or intervene in this conflict militarily. This is a totally humanitarian mission, and we're only concerned about the safety and health of the inhabitants of Gran Canaria. Deux doesn't get involved in politics, and neither do we.
Anyway, if you still are not convinced, you can contact Señor Miguel Sephardi in Crete, currently gracious host of His Holiness Paolus LXIV, Pontiff of the NCC. He will certainly be able to tell you about our Holy Church and its role in this corner of Sirius.
We're a Church, Señor Comisario, not an army. Our job is to help our human brothers and sisters, not hide spies or intrigue against the Empire.
I agree with you that it really would be very disgusting if it should appear some kind of trouble between your brave Carabineros and my humanitarian personnel. It would be much better than both of us dedicate our efforts to achieve peace and to help the population of Gran Canaria. I'm sure in that matter, we both want the same thing.
You also have all my respect, señor. Deux be with you.

Now go back to your respective sandboxes and stick your own laws up where sun does not shine as you are fooling no one. Protectorate of Omega 49 brings only suffering to its inhabitants, no one here wants either you or Coalition. Do us a favor and keep civilians out of here...
On other thought, SCRA is incapable of distinbuishing "authoritarian dictatorship" from "power to the people" and Corsairs do not give a flying crap about collateral damage. Seems you will make a "good" pair in the end.
P.S. Two of dumber representants of Corsair nation "dropped dead" in their attempt to reinforce so called police hour... good luck finding them in nearest forest to Gran Canaria's primary starport.

Good evening, Honorable Elder Cino Marquez:
Few minutes ago you shot four nuclear missiles and various biotoxin warheads against a planet full of civilians.
You even know how many innocent people have exterminated? I have no idea how many SCRA have fallen killed by your attack, I have not seen any, but I can tell you that civilian deaths are thousands down here.
This is called genocide, and I remind you that with your bombs, you are also killing many Corsair settlers.
This is not the way to do a war. I don't know if you will get defeat SCRA, but certainly if you continue like that, when you finish will not be anyone, SCRA or not, on the whole planet.
------------------------------------------END OF TRANSMISSION-----------------------------------------
I was thrilled by your advise, so I tried to put our laws where you suggested. It was not easy, but I know some tricks.
Now it's your turn. I hope you know some tricks too. You'll need 'em.
P.S. I'm sure you enjoyed your forest adventure with "two of dumber representants of Corsair nation". They did. They told me you were pretty laud and made many forest animals fly in fear. It was not so easy to make "drop dead" two of our young cadets, so I guess I should respect your... stamina and... other talents *smiles like a boy with both hands in his pockets*.
