So, this is the person responsible for yesterday's commotion? Well, as our leadership has more important matters to attend to and because of my history of involvement with your kind in the past, I will address the matter.
Firstly, we have the sovereign power within Maltese Hispania's space and have the right to restrict access to anyone we deem appropriate, be it a filthy zoner or a Rheinland Baron. Your delusions about "free Omicrons" are the funniest part as you operate in Imperium Omicronis territory who have already considered annexing Freeport 11.
Secondly, your organisation was specifically banned from our space. Hence, the ban was standing.
Given the developments, I give you last fair warning - back off now and we will forgive you this transgression. If not, your pathetic "professional" personnel consisting of imbeciles incapable of using grammatically and morphologically coherent speech will become the object or targeted extermination procedure without prejudices. Moreover, since you represent zoners, the fate of Freeport 10 will be basically decided upon based on your actions. If you want us to deploy the fleet and either annex or destroy the facility similarly to how Fort Silosso was eradicated, then just continue your line. You have been warned.
Remember, zoners are but a bunch of fugitives from every conceivable hole in Sirius. You have no economy, industrial potential, professional standing army or, as it appears from your figures of speech, even brains to rival anyone, not even speaking of Malta. It will be amusing to see you suicide by hitting a stone with a sickle, which is exactly what you are doing. Know your place, zoners, and you will fare good.

Mein Gott, you ar'e so boring zat ich al'most fell asleep. If du just tr'ed to be scarry, du failed, Ich vill blov up your boring arse. Freidom of movement ist more important zan wasting zome ammo to destroy' you. Konsidering yor ships ar'e built' fr'om skrap, it vill not be har'd. Du look' like zat weird gr'oup of cosplayers at Manhattan, declared Elven Kingdom und trying to klaim zis is legit. Ich kan do ze same thing:
Nov' bend ze knee, you insolent peasant!!!
However, since you think zat du are smar't to threat ze Zoner's and ze Freepor't, ich vill open zis komminikation to my mich boss.
"Sonia, get off the comms channel until further notice, report to my office. You are inoperable until a fresh medical has been produced.
First off, Omicron Alpha and Tau are STRICTLY off limits for our people, as per agreement, which is no longer in effect.
Now, de Silva, rest assured, Core have no interest in Freeport 11. As I've been in contact with them continually, so please don't send my idiot idle threats on those you don't speak for.
Mr. de Silva, you decided to bring a small attack group, comprised of several capital vessels that had no authority to be at Freeport 10, putting the lives of the people there in danger. I don't care for the murder hobo garlic munchers, they will be dealt with separately, and our dealing with them is between the Zoners and the Gallics. As far as I see it, you've already broken the agreement by endangering so many lives, of your own men and women as well I might add, for nothing more than a petty grudge, or some will to look like some big man.
In short, you wanted to talk about Tau 37, sure. If I see you there, we will pass by, like ships in the night. But this is the final nail before you seal a coffin of war and bloodshed because of your ego, Mr de Silva. We are strong because of our 'friends' in high places... We are not here to punch up, or down, instead, enforce the rightful rules, which you so brazenly want to break at every stage.
People like you are the reason my Organisation exists, to stop egocentric maniacs from stepping on the little guy all the time."
Melissa bows her head as she chuckles and switches off the transmission.

Delusions, childish jokes, reference to latent sexualised content of dubious orientation like Mahattan cosplay conventions... I bet you are on your periods. Do not worry, woman, that is natural. I hope your mom explained you what that is? If she did and you still experience uncontrollable urge to say something stupid - that might be uterus madness. I know that except for Doc Holiday medicine for zoners is of pitiful quality, so I would suggest getting checked at Nauru, Core must be good at this. Check your private parts today - save tomorrow, woman!
In the meantime we shall await a more meaningful reply from your leadership.

Good that you take care of your inadequate subordinates. This commands some respect for sure for any rabid dog is to be put to the knee.
Now to the agreement: we agreed on our side to stay away from Freeport 10 and not to dock it. That we observed except for being engaged by the Gauls near the Freeport. As for the system - that is wrong in your understanding. Under our laws, the system is ours and we have all the right to put there the fleet as big as all the Navy of Maltese Hispania. You are exactly were asked to keep away from it not because we do not want you near Freeport 10, but because we do not want you within our territory. And my ego has nothing to do with it - I am but a humble secretary and advisor to Don hernan but he is busy with actually doing diplomacy, not talking to some zoners, especially given the blabbering shown by your subordinate that would offend the sanity of any sentient life form.
Whatever you think of your friends in "high" places, I assure you your manpower and finances cannot rival ours. Do you really believe you can outlast this conflict should it begin, and all the diplomatic pressure we will put on you? Or you think we do not have friends in "high" places as well? Trust me, this conflict will be your demise as a zoner and your neutrality. For all I care, a possible conflict with you would be just a one of the many local conflicts that Malta has had dozens of. For you - well, it can determine your future given how scarce your resources are.
Think wisely. We care not about zoners or Freeport 10. Both are useless and meaningless in grand scheme of things. So for you sending your few precious men to die for a conflict with no strategic importance would be an irrational waste, no? Stay away from our territory, including Tau 37 or Murcia as we call it, and we won't meddle into your nomad fighting or whatever you are doing in Omicrons.
Melissa sighs and facepalms, obviously bored of this now.
"First off, I will correct you on your lies. The agreement was to stay out of the 10k radius of the station, the No Fire Zone, which you brought capital vessels to. If you're going to say that this is your "meaningful" conversation, the first thing you should not do is lie.
We don't recognise Maltese law, as you know. Zoners reject the 'Houses' that oppress their people. So no, we will never formally recognise your claim to a system. We recognise Maltese space as actual places you have a significant presence, but even then, space is free. Again, you're short sightedness fails you.
Your ego, is one of the reasons this blew out of proportion. To think, this was because one of your subhuman pets couldn't obey the rules when under our rules. So, he got what was deserved. Just to think... All this could have been avoided by you being the bigger man, and holding your hands up to your people's mistakes.
Also, be careful, we aren't just Zoners. We're an organisation, that works on the safety and security of the Zoner people, because they do not want imbeciles like yourself running amuck and telling them what they can and cannot do. We reject the houses, and your attempt at building one only cements the reason of why we rejected them.
You speak of finances and manpower... You forget. You are enemies of 2 of the major houses. Kusari and Liberty are all but looking for a reason to wipe your genetically inferior bodies from the universe. How's that reproduction rate going? I hear cardamine plays havocs with it. You know nothing of our firepower, man power, our capabilities. As stated, we aren't just Zoners. Either way, let me just clarify, along with our allies, we are beating the nomads. Keep your delusions on who we are, I prefer to live in the real world.
As you said, you won't meddle with what we're doing in the Omicron. We won't be bound by your rules, your will and lust for power. You think you're someone important because you have some idea of a vision of what the Maltese should be. So does the mind of the hundreds of warlords out there who have their own opinions.
If you see us, treat us as ships passing in the night, nothing more, nothing less."

You gave me a good laugh, mujer. Surely, you are not just "some zoners", you are fancy zoners. This does not change your nature - which is, some homeless people from all the ratholes in Sirius. Your capabilities, even tho I neither know of them, nor care, are laughable compared to Armada Grande. What is the population of zoners in Sirius? A few hundred thousands? What are you, a fraction of zone, ten or twenty thousands? And you would threaten us with this? How many effective warships can those produce and pilot? Moreover, what GDP can those produce, especially in the absence of industry? Good luck, although I do not like ignorance (and you certainly do lack the grasp of formal economic analysis to engage in stellar politics), I do like comedies and you are about to show us one.
Friends in Kusari, heh? I bet, they are too busy dealing with their internal strife and economic disarray after being Gallic puppet and now sorting things out with Rheinland. Liberty, heh? Quite far they are to send expeditionary fleet to assist some dubious organisation having ties to the Order that they despise. Receiving money from them? That is some business, but you have to sell this idea to them, and for that you need a) good strategic communication and PR; b) good reputation; c) economic theory and brains. You seem to lack everything, so good luck.
You might reject our laws - or any laws, this does not change much. Look at Erie. Look at Gran Canaria, oh, sorry, Sydney. Look at Freeport 4. You think, the governments cared whether you respect their laws? I doubt it. There is a reason why no zoner facility stays near a strong government for long. You are weak, and strong prey on the weak. Such is the matter of things in nature. Food chains, hey? Hope you at least have the knowledge of basic biology so that you understand the references.
Maltese warlords indeed can have their own things to decide to, so far, however, as the profits have been soaring and their income getting better - they support the regime. At any rate, they follow the national interests - and zoners' rambling about not obeying our rules in our space is certainly not within these interests. Population problem? Actually, slow but steady growth, we cannot bother. Those with money can always afford artificial insemination and even pregnancy in artificial womb. Given, that Maltese population is quite rich, this is not a problem to afford for a significant share of the population. Gracias por caring about our domestic issues, time for you to mind yours.
At any rate, you have been warned. Our matters with Freeport 10 will be settled directly with Freeport 10 administration. As far as I know, you have nothing to deal with them - so just mind your business. We gave you a warning regarding your ships in our space. Should they show up again - we will shoot them down without prejudices.
Of course, everything I said might be wrong and dull to say given your peculiar situation. Your subordinates apparently have some problems with their... feminine health. So maybe, the same sad fate has claimed you, too. Oh, my dear! Maybe, it is because of a lack of male attention? Certainly, fighting zoners is soooo tooooough, especially when the Order and the Core do all the dirty work, so it exhausts you and decreases the appeal of "feminine origins". If that is so - please forgive my transgressions, we can arrange some big and sturdy detainees to be sent to you to satisfy the cravings of flesh so that sanity is restored for every mujer deserves a mucho grande ... well, you know. We have a lot of those, so don't hesitate. A lifetime offer, si o no?

Subject: DOne talking with the little boys.
Melissa chuckles and responds in a much more jovial and friendly tone.
"I think the subhuman is offended. Sorry, bucko. But you're not worth any more of my time. I have actual business to attend instead of your clown fiesta. Toodles."
She smiles in a friendly manner, bowing her head as the transmission ends.
If i may interfere - i will start with a common introduction. My name is Stella Hoshii, i am the current administrator for the Corinth Research Station. I believe you, as a secretary of a Don, being an educated man rather than just some ignorant illiterate that found a dictionary and managed to put the words from it together into comprehensive sentences; and, as any other educated man you should understand what the law determines - the freedoms of one man end where the freedoms of the other begin. And this general pattern does very well apply to our case: the system as a whole may be yours to claim, whetever our stance on the freedom of navigation is presented and considered by your people or not, it is a right of every men and women of Sirius from birth.
But this is not the essence of the matter.
Let me give you an insight of what the No-Fire Zone essentially is; it inevitably overlaps the laws of your self-proclaimed Republic, but it is in by no means a way to undermine your self-proclaimed authority. For centuries it have been our main tool to create safe havens for people all around Sirius, making no difference for whetever they use cardamine or carry an artifact from Crete in their pocket - though, Maltese and Cretans have rarely crossed aboard of one Freeport due to obvious reasons. Nonetheless, this is the very reason our small society have persisted and thrived outside of House grasp. And this is where the small overlap comes: we, Zoners as a whole, Velvet in particular - do not care for your claims, your laws, but we may still respect them, as ultimately the freedom of self-definition is one of the essential freedoms of every human. Objectively, despite the judgement of station administrators, this remains and will remain unchanged. So, here is a general tip - respect our rules and we will respect yours, whetever we care about them or not.
We are not undermining your Republic, your authority and whatever game it is you play to humor yourself as Don's secretary, neither we are going to even try. What i wish for is that both parties respect each other's regulations, especially in the zone the two of them inevitably overlap, however, i can not speak for miss Jones or current Freeport 10 administrator, but they might as well heed to my proposition. Just like you, mister De Silva.
Put the grudges aside and give it some second thoughts. It would be a sheer disappointment to realise you do not live up to the impression you left when i first took a look at your speech.
~Stella Hoshii.
Peace, being the distant dream it is, comes inevitably, and goes hand in hand with justice.
Cursed be the war. Heroes never die! @Vitoniz30
