I come to you with an ultimatum. It is beyond me why or how my predecessors managed to settle a NAP and limited cooperation with your group, in light of our diplomacy with The Order as a whole, with little benefit for us.
I have a simple proposal for you: if the Legacy of Orillion hands back stolen Core property, Dabadoru Station, to The Core, we will not only remain committed to the NAP but consider extending it into further cooperation against the Nomads and beyond. Otherwise, I see no reason to entertain anything but hostile diplomacy with people who frustrate our goal of securing and fortifying Omicron Delta by perpetuating the Overwatch's futile war against The Core.

Herr Archos,
I'm not sure where this came from, but let me say here that, while I expected tensions to be present regarding this Pact of Non-Aggression, I didn't expect the Core's return to the style that lost them Dabadoru in the first place. I'm not particularly in tune with the details of Dabadoru's capture and incorporation into the Order's sphere of operation. To be frank, I don't care. They run deeper than I care to dig and it honestly only brings up bad memories for most of my men.
Step on the efforts of Mr. Daniels all you want, but you only harm your own people for being so blind to what's before you. Imperialism did not work for Gallia, it fails for Bretonia, and in the Omicrons it will fail for you.
Consider your ultimatum denied. If the Core is this interested in reigniting the flames of conflict, then we can respond in kind, a pity to me for assuming a group fed by greed could be reasoned with. Let it be your own hubris that becomes your undoing.

Archos,
I am Doctor Stephen Callahan, Colonel of the Legacy of Orillion Cell and Commander of the Omicron Defense Flotilla. "turn a profit". These are the reasons cooperation between the Core and Legacy was fragile at best, trying to make money off the aspect of humanities survival is just another poor excuse for what the Core is really about. Greed. You will find my operatives will not submit nor retreat when it comes to defending our equipment, assets and humanity itself. You might have the Houses fooled but out here, your reputation is known clear as day. Murderers.
