this is Commander Sherry Aguilar of the Apahanta. I didn't get to ask you earlier, but I would like to know whether there are standing orders on your side regarding our ship. It seems the Order is quite aware of our situation, as the talk with you implied. Which makes me wonder what their opinion is. As far as we are aware, the Order will oppose anything that contains APM technology. The Apahanta is sadly an embodyment of said technology, combined with a plenty of other technologies, as you noticed.
In the past, we have been attacked multiple times by the Order, even after leaving the Core, mostly because of the reason I mentioned. You, however, did not.

I will admit, I did not expect a comm from you after our encounter. Your question is intrueging to say the least. I am not aware of any current standing orders regarding your vessel. It may have been that you just kept running into the more triggerhappy captains of the fleet. As you are well aware, the reason I didn't engage your ship is that you don't seem to pose a threat to our operations in the area. At least, that is my gut feeling, and I trust my gut feelings in general.
With that out of the way, I trust your crew and yourself are all still safe and sound?

This Galaxy is vast; its wonders and beauty are almost unfathomable. But the galaxy also hides dark secrets, some of which have lain dormant since the beginning of time itself. There is a danger in secrets, both in seeking and in knowing. Some things are meant to be hidden from view. Some mysteries defy understanding, and sometimes even the things we think we know are untrue. Some secrets should remain untouched.
To be perfectly fair, though, we have contacted Administrator Hanamura about the Order presence, especially with capital ships, within the No-Fire-Zone, as we have been authorized to defend the Freeport with any means in case of an attack. Even with one of your more triggerhappy captains on the Sopdu provoking a fight a while ago, we try to not escalate situations unneccesarily. It would be much appreciated if this was matter-of-factly vice versa.
Thank you for the information. I trust that that means we don't need to oppose each other again anytime soon. After all, we have common enemies in Omicron Delta.
