"Limited cooperation"
Commodore Edwards, this is Captain Hawkins of the Unto Nightfall.
I relayed yesterday's negotiations to my superiors and recommended they accept the terms you presented. The following are the terms they are willing to accept.
Intelligence gathered by Section 8 units on Auxesian forces, movements, and relations will be filtered and forwarded to Commodore Christopher Edwards, Fifth Fleet, on a secure channel.
Intelligence gathered by the LNS Akhetaten on Nomad forces, movements, and relations within Libertonian space and other relevant systems will be forwarded to Captain Catherine Hawkins, Section 8, on a secure channel.
Section 8 units will assist the LNS Akhetaten in combat against Auxesian and Nomad forces as well as in other emergencies where discretion can be maintained.
The LNS Akhetaten will assist Section 8 units in combat against Auxesian and Nomad forces as well as in other emergencies where discretion can be maintained.
I hope these terms are agreeable to you, Commodore. I also am to inform you that my superiors are interested in expanding cooperation between Section 8 and Fifth Fleet assets in the future.

Good afternoon Captain Hawkins,
I apologize for the delay following my response, the reason for it being, as I mentioned in space, that I too have people above me who I need to report to. The Fifth's Admiralty was informed of the terms your superiors are willing to accept and it seems that the first impression wasn't a negative one.
Getting into the subject at hand, I am afraid I'm not in the position to agree with those terms as the Unto Nightfall as well as the Section 8 remain unknown to the Fifth Fleet. Upon informing Fleet Admiral Cleveland of various past interactions we have had with you and as well as your interest in cooperating with us, the Admiral would appreciate a meeting with the Unto Nightfall.
I hope you are interested in this proposal and that you are still operating in the same regions you were last time, as the place I had in mind is close-by. Should you agree to the meeting, I will inform you of a more specific location and time over a secure channel.
I will be expecting a response, Captain.
With regards.

"Limited cooperation"
Commodore Edwards,
I relayed your message to my superiors and they have agreed to let me negotiate with Fleet Admiral Cleveland on behalf of Section 8.
Transmit the time and location at your convenience. The Unto Nightfall will be present.
I do trust that is not an elaborate trap, Commodore.

Captain Hawkins,
I, and the Akhetaten, will be present on the meeting as well. If you do not trust Admiral Cleveland due to not knowing her I hope you can at least trust me. If our intention was to trap the Unto Nightfall we would have done that at a time you wouldn't expect it, Captain.
I hope that solves your worries, I'll be seeing you later this evening.
With regards.
