FKS Ronin,
A few days ago in Liberty, You had helped an Outcast bomber against the Liberty Navy as well as a couple of Her Majesty's Merchant Navy. Possession an illegal Bretonia "Churchill" Gunboat as well.
You had requested from Commodore James Nortington for a Letter of Marque claiming to be an ally to Bretonia and her Majesty. Yet, your actions proves otherwise. Perhaps you would like to give a proper explanation regarding the incident as well as returning back the Bretonian gunboat? Proof of your possessions has been attatched as well as your.... "false"

We indeed receiced letter of marque, alongside with gunboat. However, we came under some difficulties with our letter of marque, because of 1) expiration date (someone simply screwed up the dates) and 2) disputes of the zones that Privateer had to patrol. We disagreed on this one and waited for a long time.
We indeed helped the Outcasts once - but only once - against Liberty Navy, as we seen that corruption in such must be fought with not words but fire - they could not be officialy accused of treasoning with Gallia for obvious reasons.
Moreover, we are not aware about fighting against BAF-MN vessel, as the punishment to the traitors within Navy ranks has been delivered and we refused other services, we withdrew from area to the Texas System, Tinkers Haven - as a vessel hired by base owners to be on alert if fighting between Liberty and Rheinland went too close to the base. Aside of main target, we helped out T&T vessels against some Xenos, but that's nothing you'd like to hear about.
We regret this one incident that strained our good name, as we fight our own war against influence of Gallia in Taus and Kusari, with their puppet governent of so-called "Democratic Republic". You would not believe what things are going here, out of the public eyes, where Word of Gallia is a law, enforced by traitors from KNF and secret police.
Due to recent events we are on standby in area close to Kusari, because we are worried what coup d'etat forces are able to do. Pro-Imperial party has won the elections, yet we, as true Children of Kusari, are afraid if Kempeitai, the secret police, will not start political assassinations or try to denounce newly formed parliment of Kusari.
As our letter of marque is void, we would like to keep the vessel as borrowed, because, aside of lack of letter of marque, our possession of Bretonian gunboat is still valid until end of the year. In return for this status quo, we offer to be your eyes and ears inside Kusari and Taus.
However, if you want your gunboat back so urgently, I believe 35 million credits would be enough as a our payment for -short- service under Bretonian and returning all the funds we introduced to keep this ship in one piece. I hope you understand this, because no one would not be happy with working for free.

FKS Ronin,
After a discussion with Commodore Nortington, He confirmed that you were not given a letter of marque and that your application has been turned down. To be bold with you, That means "No."
Regarding your matters with Kusari. Please, do not bring up your It and It's politics to Bretonia, I'm pretty sure that Libertonian officials would agree with me. You have no right to engage Breton-Friendlies in the name of Bretonia- As what you claimed to be.
The Armed Forces and the War Cabinet will not allow any Bretonian ship to be used in a wrong manner especially against our allies. Your "Borrowing" of a Bretonian "Churchill" Gunboat is void as well. I hereby demand that you return the vessel to Southampton Shipyard within he next 24 hours. Failure to comply with our demands will result in treating you as a hostile of Bretonia. Regarding your payment, We do not pay people for disrupting relations between Bretonia and It's Allies, nor we pay them for things that they have not earned. I believe I made myself quite clear, return the gunboat to Southampton, I don't believe that you require more hostile space for you that you have screwed up with both Kusari and Liberty

I believe then loyality to keep deals with your mercenaries is a phrase unknown to you.
As you wish then, we will return your vessel, if you wish so. You failed to show some honour and yet you used us - this is a huge insult to us, but we do not want to make enemy, as we share the other common foe.
But, now it bothers me, if not Commodore Nortington - who to the Hell gave us permission, as we received such with both letter of marque and gunboat? Everything in this deal was done right on our side.
We will deliver vessel 17:00 SMT to the designated shipyard.
