Subject: Bretonia
I have already made a statement to the Bretonian Crown. As of this point, I have heard nothing in return. I am expecting the usual reply from them about how Gran Canaria is rightfully theirs and needs policing, much like Liberty did with Erie. I do hope I am wrong but I doubt it. I at least want to give peace a chance in an otherwise violent world.
To all of you, I reach out to discuss the matter of Bretonia and its desire to annex our Zoner home world. I cannot speak for all but I have resided here for a long time and raised my three children here. I do hope that my eldest daughter finds her way home to join me but that is a personal matter. I addressed this to the Zoner community but there are those in neighboring systems that would have their interests here as well. You know who you are. We have all lived in peace as we have been trade partners, often putting aside differences for a better place. I personally want to see this relationship between the Zoners of Omega 49 and its neighbors continue.
I am offering a proposal to all, a summit at my estate. I think we should all discuss the one threat to us all, the Bretonian Crown, put aside differences and work together on it. Naturally, I prefer a diplomatic solution which I will work for. At least you all know where I stand. Still, I am willing to let us all meet, sit down and see what we can figure out. I just know the Zoner defense forces in the past have NOT fared well so naturally that is not my first choice. With Med Force One doing its work in the system, I do not need it threatened.
So I will keep this short for now and see who, if anyone, would be interested in a summit. I think that it would be a good time for one given the current situation.
Sincerely,

Doc Holliday! I only heard good words about you. However, we should get to the point. In the first reaction to the problematic BAF warship around Gran Canaria, ABF - the Anti-Bretonian Front - was hastily created and initially had idea to prepare for possible conflict through Trade War and to push Bretonians at least in the econimcal way. However, as OSI had noted and we calmed down long enough, we decided to resolve into passive-agressive propaganda aimed against Kingdom of Bretonia, which should be enough to be that "pen mighter than a sword" from the Sol-old proverb.
As you can see, paranoia of having Battleship Stirling had already gathered some seed of fear and shock - to which we fell ourselves and almost accused Zoner individuals and groups as possible traitors. Therefore, you can see the Zoner-wise summit in regard to Bretonian presence inside Omega-49 is not just needed. That is an outright obligation.

Greetings residents of Omega-49,
I have listened and I have decided to come to your aid. Gran Canaria has always been one of my favourite planets and your tea tastes better than theirs. It is not in my best interest to let it fall into the hands of these invaders. Furthermore I have been watching Bretonia become more and more hostile towards my divine presence. Something I do not take kindly.
Therefore I have reached the following conclusion:
Bretonia is no longer fully under my control. They seem to have become more heretical and should be treated as such.
Their presence in your system is just a symptom of their lack of proper guidance. They need me to set them straight. To let their wandering minds find peace again in chaos. Bretonia must be purified.
I am going to end this petty rebellion of theirs and kick them out of my sphere of influence. I am going to bring the fight to them.
Also, long time no see Doc. How have you been holding up?
I'm sure you aren't surprised that, given the nature of your communication, someone from Bretonia would notice. We find your concerns warranted and, without sounding rude or condescending, predicted. However, your proposal of a summit is a wise move, and if you are intending to hold a summit to discuss recent developments, we would be happy to send a member of the Service to speak on Bretonia's behalf. Make no mistake however sir, while we hold you and your reputation in high regard and do not expect any trouble from you, the other guests at this summit may not be quite so...noble, in their intentions.
Nonetheless, if you wish us to attend, we will do so, if not, then events there will unfold without our input.
Esteemed friend, too much time as passed since last time we spoke.
For long OSI as been administrating Planet Gran Canaria, however we never claimed it as ours. Truth to be told things always went smoothly, everyone was happy, community was thriving, and the few feuds that would happen, quickly were resolved.
As you know, OSI is always for diplomatic solutions, as all other solutions are bad for business,
That said i will attend to your summit but i will set one thing clear from start, OSI will not partake in any solution that would jeopardize our relations with our trading partners.
Best regards

Summit
Esteemed Dr. John Henry Holliday,
while we at HOT GEAR usually don't bother spending much attention to rumors on the media, there is reason to assume that regardless of the nature of Battlegroup Stirling's confirmed presence in Omega-49 will affect our investments on Planet Gran Canaria and our headquarters in Los Dragos. In order to to provide the best possible protection for our employees and assets, I would like to attend to your summit.
As representatives of the Custodi and the Corsair empire both, we will be sending a delegation to partake in and observe this summit. Rest assured that we have not forgotten our promises.
The Reaver Merc. Co. reserves the right, and uses it, to send some colors down there to keep an eye on the proceedings, due to having a bar and a retirement camp over there. Copper fancies his fishing alright.
Doc, as always your reputation proceeds you and im glad you have suggested this summit.
I've spent years coordinating the security of Gran Canaria not just for OSI but for the planet as a whole, a mixture of Local militias and volunteer police forces.They have been at the forefront of two separate Global bombings, its survived imposed marshal law and god knows how many conflicts for control of Omega 49. But what has won through despite all this is our ability to be diplomatic. To find the peaceful solution to these issues, i realise that in Zoner circles my name maybe mud nowadays, but i care for our people and especially for Canaria, so i will be attending more from a security consultant point of view over an OSI one, to offer my experience from similar situations from the past.
