I send you this in good faith: you and your people recently came across a number of mine in Omicron Beta and had a bit of an exchange, so I'm told. I do ask that you forgive signore Callahan's initial terseness with the situation: strict, and absolute border control within Maltese territory is always a high priority for our vessels, I'm sure you can understand. I've read over my Agents' logs of the situation and I find myself more than glad that the olive-branch extended between our fellow peers in the National Council and your organization has likewise been extended our way. Our groups are not too different in the grand scheme of things, and the Nacione's continued cooperation with interested parties is an ongoing effort on many individual's parts. The Nationales' presence may rapidly wane but rest assured: your allies in Malta have not forgotten you.
My Agent's records also show that you've requested a more formal establishment of our communications, something I wholeheartedly support for the good of both of our peoples, to better stand as a united front against our combined enemies. That being the case, should any issue come up that requires our attention or action, I implore you to reach out here or elsewhere as necessary for further communication and collaboration. I, or one of my associates will find little issue in responding and abiding.
Until next time, mi amigo.

Ah, I expected a communique from your organisation. Nice to finally talk without a big green cloud in the way, although I apologise for the surprise you had with vessels suddenly appearing in Maltese territory without your knowledge of our current arrangements. It's good that more independent Maltese groups are coming forward with agreements to open up relations with the other Houses of Sirius, not saying it hasn't happened before.
Anyway, the more formal establishment is something I wish to construct with organisations. Call them official channels; I hope this to be one of them. Now our combined enemies, they still currently stand as those we originally fought against. Those being the Corsairs, Munich Unioner cells, Order and Bundschuh, we might be logically moving towards having agreements to fight the GMG later on in the future due to the deceleration of war between them and the Federal Republic of Rheinland. We can go into the political advantages of this later on but for now lets focus on our formalities.
Like previous agreement to the National Council and now defunct Crimson Cross, we'll be opening agreements to the Amalfi Directorate soon once we get formal copies ready printed. We understand the volatility of shifting powers in Malta and we're to select only trusted parties to sign these agreements. If you're willing to review our copies and overview of these agreements, please request them from us.
I'll be hoping to hear about this from you soon, as for now, I bid you good luck.

We're no strangers to the recent history of Malta's volatile political structure: the system tends to work better than you'd think. Cardamine and Malta herself have a way of unifying the goals of her people and strengthening their resolve against the perceived insurmountable. Just as the waves of the oceans ebb and flow, so too does time, as does the exchange of power. This is true of both my homeland, and yours. We simply have different names for the means of the exchange of power.
Onto the topic at hand: these arrangements of yours, if they are what I believe them to be, should be of little consequence to abide by and uphold. Forward them to us and we shall look over them. In time, we shall have our answers, and you shall have your strengthened alliance with the Nacione.
Until then, I bid you safe skies.

You ask much. Though I doubt you truly understand the gravity of Cardamine's influence to my people, you must at the very least know just how integral it is to our economy. The ability and flexibility of an economy is what makes a Nation such as Malta or any other the power that we are. Rheinland presently holds little value in this matter to us but to outright restrict it like this has taken some consideration on the part of myself and my Patricians.
For the time being however, we can acquiesce. Liberty's larger and frankly more stable market is a much better use of our influence anyhow. Something I sincerely doubt you are unaware of and seek to destabilize given your position.
For now: you have our agreement on this matter.

Director Enfield,
What business you and your organization conduct with the Nationals in such a manner is no business of ours, and I have little faith that even if I were to ask of the specifics of your operations on Galicia, you would be willing to share them. That being the case, I see no reason for us to object or interfere: have your dealings: we have no objection.

The operations on Galicia is not one you should worry about. The goal of the team on there is to help support the northern forces against the Corsairs within the Omicron Xi system as to maintain the pest from reaching into both our home systems. But on a side note, it is to monitor activity of the GMG ever since the situation started to rise. I understand that Galicia is mainly a research complex but we have current no need to host laboratories as of yet on that station until the time arises. The location is for any future convenience that it does.
Anyway, I'd like to inform you of a rising situation that might benefit all of us. The Rheinland Military, above all its patriotic might, has agreed a summit should finally be conducted between the Nations of Malta and the Federal republic of Rhienland. I've already sent out the regarding invitation to the National Council since their efforts for this chance stretch back two years and maybe more, but the more agreeable familia' that we deem acceptable to negotiate and represent Malta would mean that a much more friendlier image becomes clear, leading to a higher chance that we can finally agree to fight against the common enemies that we seek to become ridden, one such example is the Corsairs. I'd go into the economic benefits that come from this, but I think we can discuss that later.
Please take this invitation, the talks will be hosted on our secure Battleship in New-Berlin, The Strausberg. I'd hope you'd make the right decision.

Director Enfield,
An unexpected but most welcome invitation - Rheinland's hospitality impresses me more and more each day.
The Mal-Di-Ventri and an interceptor wing will be dispatched to the region for escort, and will break formation with our diplomatic envoy Dromedary once within local-comm range of Rheinland territory proper, holding in the Sigmas. I would ask that your people exercise patience with these measures; as the region's less than welcoming population warrants their inclusion. Rest assured: the threat of their wrath is intended solely for the cretins, not Rheinland.

As you may have picked up news, the Bundestag has lifted your Enemy-of-the-state listing, while being classed as "Undesirable" may not seem good, its all more of a step towards peace between the Republic and Malta. But for the Buro Des Marinenachrichtendienst, this means we can conduct business with Almalfi and the Council without fear of backlash from our state government.
As our first means of official overt business, The Buro Des Marinenachrichtendienst is currently looking at obtaining samples of CQV-Gen I "Rapier" vessels for the usage of testing their combat capabilities and compare them to our current mainstream vessels the 90-ARKM-N45 "Wraith", we'd like to obtain a small wing of these vessels for some of our most experienced pilots to use. I fear that their everlasting usage of the Wraith has dulled down their feelings of input and this difference in flavour will quell their "Yes-Man" attitude towards the performance of the Wraith and hopefully allow the BDM some input into future Daumann efforts if a new fighter program were to arise.
But we've also noticed something on the side of the Maltese, a case of not just Amalfi, but other familias that follow. The "Tridente" Gunship support vessel is certainly starting to show its age. A borderworlds design that has yet to be replaced with a Conquistador variant, why that is? Not any of our busienss, but maybe we can help you. The Buro Des Marinenachrichtendienst has recently put in a new requestion order with Daumann for almost a second flotilla of 825A.S. issue "Oder" class gunships to either reinforce and replace some of its ageing vessels. Since your enemy status has been lifted, your freely able to obtain these vessels from a law-enforcement party. Such as us. We'd be willing to supply you with a 822A.S. issue "Oder" gunship for combat situations within the Sigma and Xi region... Or potentially other areas around the Maltese territories, but that shouldn't be something we care about. This might also give you the reputation of respect among other Familia but that's just my observation.
Lets cut the the bullshit to one side now and go over plainly on what I'm proposing:
The Buro Des Marinenachrichtendienst is looking to obtain:
3x CQV-Gen I "Rapier" Very Heavy Fighters
In return, the Amalfi Directorate will obtain:
1x 822A.S. Oder Gunship combat support vessel
This is my offer, consider it. Maybe then we might be on a better path to co-operation.
