Salute monsieur.Ill be short on this.First,I Must ask you to state your intentions about Gallia and The Punishers.
One of my Squad Leaders,got surprised about the actions and attitude of one of your pilots when he wanted to give him a hand when your pilot was in trouble.
Let's clear things between us now.
Please take a Look at your pilot's words and please confirm if that's what you're thinking about our squadron.If not,i am asking you to apologize in the name of your pilot for insulting one of our officer.
Please read the Following transmission:

*at this point he opens fire*
[22.10.2013 00:30:34] [TAZ]Navarre: Gaunt: typical cowarldy gaul. feels threatened by an unarmed transport.
[22.10.2013 00:30:57] Punisher|FL.Acheron-01: stop insulting me, captain
[22.10.2013 00:31:41] [TAZ]Navarre: Gaunt: im offended.
*after this he flew off, before returning towards me*
[22.10.2013 00:32:45] Punisher|FL.Acheron-01: i have to teach you a lesson, captain
[22.10.2013 00:33:03] [TAZ]Navarre: Gaunt: Is that a threat?
I will let you decide our relations in the future,as you know we are a small but powerful and respectable organization of Gallia.We won't tolerate such words about our people.Please make sure that your pilot will be warned,or we will!
We have read upon your notion and missive, and after much discussion within our prayers, we found that the Apple of Eris was missing. Instead, we took guidance from the Apple's cousin.
And thus it said to us...

Monsieurs,
To clarify, the TAZ have no intentions toward Gallia that we care to share with anyone other than our closest allies, so don't bother askin', my man Brettonias made it Pretty, Shiney and Clear.
Declare us hostile if you wish, consider though that this may bring no long term benefit to yourselves. Your call, but it won't make any difference anyway, 'cos Eris will trash whatever you decide.
But if you seriously wanna talk to us, drop me a private line on the attached number (your eyes only).
Bonjour.
My name is Guillaume DeReims. I am the official representative of the Punishers.
First, I would like to say that yes, we accept the "talk" option rather than the violent one. Second, I would like you to know that the only reason we went hostile against you is the unrespectful and aggressive attitude of both the pilot of the offending TAZ ship, and the Pope Brettonias, and that they had no reason to act like that. Especially your colleague's answer was VERY rude and agressive. If you accept to recognize your mistakes and apologize, we'll accept the offer for diplomatic talks. Until then however, any TAZ ship will be treated as a combat target, apart for unarmed/non-agressive transports and freighters.
Sincèrement,
Guillaume DeReims

Bonjour, Monsieur DeReims,
As to the actions of the Popes of my flock towards Gallia, can you blame them?
You fight for the Royal Family of Gallia, people who have on many occasions snubbed their noses at us, walked out of diplomatic meetings, put bounties on my head, shot up our ships and have harassed Zoners as a whole just for trying to live their lives. To make a long history lesson short, it started first by the Royal family threatening me just for making positive attempts at diplomacy and then one of their own acting as a Zoner spy and taking secret information with her.
I've heard of your attack on my people. I won't apologize for it. You fly for the Royal family. You accuse us of making mistakes yet you make some yourself and are a part of a people that keep making them.
Don't mistake my usually friendly disposition as weakness as I won't allow my people to be threatened or harassed. Now, if you want to co-exists, leave us be. Attacking my people or my medical ships will not be tolerated.
As Ambassador Rackham stated, you want to talk, go through him as my bias against Gallia's Royals runs deep.
Bonjour.
So, you are the famous Doc Holliday. A pleasure to meet you.
Two things, first of all. We have nothing against the Sirian Zoner community. This whole... incident started because on of your Popes insulted not just one of our pilots, but Gallia in general. If you want the complete logs, I will be happy to submit them. We may be Gallics, but we are no savage warmongers. If we can find an opportunity for peace, we usually take it.
Second, we are perfectly fine with leaving you to be, as you put it. We never had any intention of attacking medical ships, only war vessels which could have posed a thread. However, there is one small problem. I understand that the very same pope who caused this whole incident in the beginning has posted a bounty on our heads. This cannot be tolerated, I'm afraid. So, if you want us to co-exist peacefully, please retract that bounty. An apology, even small, would help, and would make us more open for negotiations, as so far the opinion our pilots have about the TAZ (me excluded, as I have a *very* distant relative who is a Zoner) is quite... negative, to say the least. So a neutral start to the negotiations would be very good, much better than an all-out war.
To Ambassador "Mad John Rackham":
I am open for diplomatic talks. Please contact me if you wish to take up the offer of peace.
Sincèrement,
Guillaume DeReims

Monsieur,
I've been reviewing your submitted file and some info from the [TAZ]Navarre. Yes, he was rather offensive but as I asked before, can you blame him? You have a Royal Navy transponder, a group representing a family that has done everything it can to steal information, technology, secrets, betray our trust and have even shot up TAZ ships. The level of anger amongst many is quite high and one thing I don't do is tell my people how to feel or not feel.
In this camera shot, uplink, you opened fire on an unarmed transport over what, rude remarks? If you want the bounty lifted, it'll be he who lifts it. You will have to contact him about it.
As for me, I won't be engaging you. Anyone can take a life but only a few can save them. That is my desire.
