I will copy and paste one of your sentences Maese Ares, and then tell me which excuses do you want.
Quote:I believe your ships have downed a single light fighter, the least resource-intensive ship in our fleet.
You are right, we never shooted down more than one light fighter, after the conflict started, and after that ship, included in a fleet with no less than 3 bombers, attacked our flagship, The Tallion Law. You want us to excuse by one ship lost your own attack caused right?... I think that was not our fault.
Your "Grand Admiral", is using a skirmish after the war started to justify the war. If this is the only problem i will say than i regret all the victims in this short conflict, as far as the Comrade McIntosh do the same, including the The Tallion Law crewmans which dead in the same skirmish.
You continue asking our apologies, to apologize by what? please clarify it, cause i'm starting to feel headache.
my hopes in you are growing, you noticed my irony and you answer with the same.
If you feel that the pass for Omega 52 with merchant ship is an invasion, then we must apologized not only to you, to all Sirius factions.
One day, I hope sooner than later, you will see that we are not yours enemies, that we are very close to you and that we are natural friends (with differents points of view, of course). We are not exactly civilians, we are free men and women, we have no god, no country, no flag.
We will continue with our stance of only return fire and avoid encounters with yours ships. Our offer of peace is the best that we can give to anyone.
Respect that we insulted you in various ways, well I never said you "fool", "stupid" or similar nice words that you used.
We must say each other brothers (or at least first cousins), but until today we listen only the sounds of yours guns and its something very unpleasant to listen.
The only thing that we want is that you think about ours words, only five minutes.

When an organisation in control of destroyers and battleships moves any vessels into our space, we consider that an invasion. We aren't in the habit of trusting such organisations when they claim that they aren't spying on our construction efforts.
When this then causes an escalation of hostilities, making our people feel unwelcome in their homes in Gran Canaria, the general Zoner populace beginning to take a disliking to them, that angers us as a whole.
We have left Gran Canaria due to these tensions, and have had our militarily controlled system violated by a supposedly peaceful organisation. Now, if you had only transports in your possession, we would believe such claims, but you don't. Waving a little 'Zoner' flag isn't enough to be considered peaceful or non-aggressive in my book, I'm afraid. You have to walk the walk.
As it stands, a white peace isn't what we want. Try harder.
Only that is the problem? Well, if you guarantee our safety from attacks (Nomads, Wilde, Harvester, pirates, etc) then we disassemble all ours warships, only trade and exploration wings will be active.
Dont use rethoric and demagoguery with us, only say yes or no. And to give you more reasons and time to think, with a simple we are thinking it, our big combat forces (to no scare you, those few fighters, one bomber, one destroyer and one Bs, except our bank-store) will be docked for a reasonable time.
From this moment, we only answer yours comms about this matter.
Your battlestars aren't ideally suited to protecting your explorers, and you know that. What's the point in having a battleship escort an explorer? You may as well have the battleship do the exploring. Seems... unnecessary.
Your battleships won't protect you from pirates or whatever, you know this. Battleships such as yours are not ideally suited to defending convoys, it isn't a part of their design. Any pirate worth his salt, and your Hispanic name betrays your heritage, so you will know this, will use a bomber or two to quickly target their prey, something which a battleship will not be able to prevent. Battleships are designed for pitched battles, funnily enough, not for protecting against lightning raiders. That's what escort fighters are for.
I don't see other 'civilian' trading and exploration wings relying on privately-owned battleships to protect them. Not even the Houses' companies and holdings such as Bowex, Republican Shipping, even Ageira or Samura own such vessels.
Right now, your warfleet only brings hostilities, giving us reason to believe that you are a potential threat. You'd have less enemies without it, less people firing on your so-called 'civilian' vessels. They don't protect you.
we undock all ours fighters and bomber //most of they are working their rep, but the rest of our awesome fleet (the Talion) is docked sine die or after we will received an answer to our question. Yes or no, its easy, no?
Comms out.
RODNEY, are you sure that the first comms was sended? Ask Mannock to their engineer.
Well... well... I ca... can say that yes, but... hmm, maybe... or not... it fails.
Rodney, what can we made with you???
