John.

I apologise for the time of radio silence since our last talk, my little friend has been faring ... relatively well. But, this isn't the point of the topic I am reaching you out with.

I admire your groups charity work, the selfless dedication to ensuring the average man gets a chance at living again, standing up against the threat of the invading force.

But... Despite the prospects of unity that I admire from your people's work, there is a limit that has to be drawn. And it must be told you are nearing a point of grave danger.

We have overheard the intention of our bloodthirsty neighbours, to which it brings me great shock to personally hear that the Insurgency has decided to take the bait of Liberty's minions in blind desperation. The convoys that are intended for Yuma, are going to be a death sentence, John. We cannot allow any refugee transports to head to Crayter space. You may understand our reluctance here, for Crayter employs usage of mandatory military services, and that more importantly, there are several Navy task forces deployed there. They are most certainly awaiting as a pincher group.

We cannot allow these individuals to be sent to Liberty's indirect military machine to be churned and sent to die in some imperialist quest in the Taus and Independent Worlds to clear up the 'unwanted residents' for Liberty's arrival, and of course, we cannot allow the brave pilots to be detained in such heinous acts of deceptive 'charity'.


Thus, I would like to ask of you to re-route any MFE transports that were destined for Coronado, to instead safely bring the refugees to Freeport 14 or even the Zoner colonies in Pennsylvania - if those are proved problematic, we do have some space for temporary residence on Elgin to wait for any problem to clear up before resuming the original destination. For the trouble of such, we can provide escort, relief supplies, and even monetary compensation for relocating the destination points and establishing new camps.


But be warned, I'm afraid the Technocratic Directorate has decreed that Technocrat vessels will detain your ships if you are found to be destined to Crayter Space, for your and the people's safety. I would much prefer the peaceful resolution here, John, but I can only do so much to stop the Directorate when they believe the enemies plans are in motion. It has been calculated, afterall.


Will you work with me?

Greetings, Revenant,

I have been closely monitoring the situation. Per usual, Bretonia wants to play the role of bully. They will have much to answer for when they finally pass on by their maker. The Crayters? They do not concern me. A former student of mine is the chief medical officer on Yuma but that is irrelevant at the moment.

You are asking me not to travel through Cortez and Coronado. I am fine with this as I do not use that route. As you can see, you are getting this from Planet Erie where I maintain a small residence out of public eye. Heck I do not even have modern conveniences here as I use oil lamps for lighting. Why is this relevant? When I arrived, 3,600 refugees arrived with me on my ship. You may or may not know but much of Planet Erie has a large Zoner population and I reside outside of a rather large township, out of sight of authorities, where we live in peace. Those refugees are now among them and doing well. Here I can watch them and look after them.

So I will advise my people to use alternate routes to avoid conflict. I can only hope that they listen. When this is over, I would like to meet with you on Elgin about some other matters. I do hope this sufficiently answers your question.

Respectfully,
Doc

Oh, you have misunderstood me.

We cannot allow refugees to go to Crayter, at all. Nor Bretonia. Nor Liberty officials. We have no doubts these refugees will end up as military fodder. You can pass through Inverness as you will, and Cortez. Our people will simply disallow any ferries inbound to Crayter installations.

You are based on Erie? This is good -- More than good -- I reached out to the Xenos regarding where the best place would be for those evading authority would go. They advised Erie too. They have also mentioned the majority of their forces have fully committed to the invasion. And, regarding your request for a meeting, I'll bring it up with the others to get permission.

Bretonia doesn't surprise me in the slightest. It pains me to recall in my youth how naive I was to believe that my homeland, Bretonia, was a place of virtue. Their betrayal, made it all clear to me. And how deep the indoctrination runs. I only hold shame for being so gullible.

How can we help your operation on Erie?

Yes, I did misunderstand you. My apologies. Personally, Yuma is not an ideal place as a lot of the settlements there are built up islands. They have enough to keep there own people so you will not have to worry about that. My only destination will be on Erie. The lands are rich and opportunities plenty.
He smiles Perhaps one day I will be governor. It is something I have considered.
Right now, the only help I need or want is making sure my people and those seeking a new life are safe. I can take care of them once here. Space? That is something else.

Do not feel so ill of yourself about your homeland. There is no way you could have known what it would become. Sadly and historically, many who have ruled by birthright are NOT leadership material. After losing wars to Gallia and Kusari, I see a leader not fit for the job. I mean, billions of souls on Leeds cannot be wrong!

Are you certain you do not need any medical supplies? Food? Water? Fuel?

Bretonia. Pah. They only care for those who were royalty, or fed them cash. We did what we could with Leeds, but of course, not everyone can be saved... The right by blood, is one that is doomed to succumb to weakness and exploitation.

They never cared for the bright minds, the innocent, the people. The colonies will never truly have unity amongst themselves.


If you find yourself in trouble from the "authorities" - tell me, and I shall see what I can do to assist you.

You are an honorable, good, man, John. Never let yourself be corrupted by the monsters that surround us all. It is the least I can do to offer my good will in return.

I will not say no to humanitarian supplies so they will be much appreciated.
Honorable......*he chuckles*........I think the Bretonians do not know how to handle someone who gives them no reason to shoot at them and makes them look weak. It is kind of fun.

Good Suh, any humanitarian help you offer is both appreciated and accepted.

Bretonia does not need to justify themselves, these powers can do as they wish, only to cover it up with a mere lie. Morality does not provide immunity from repurcussion. Evacuating these ideological enemies will draw their ire. Afterall, they cannot read minds, a formless foe is a dangerous one, for there is no uniform displayed.

Any in particular that may assist you with your supply?

Oh, and a minor update, your request for a meeting has been approved, however we must see what becomes of these incidents first.

Food and water mostly. Medicine we have.
I thank you for accepting my request for a meeting. Agreed, thought, that we must deal with matters at hand first. Let us keep each other posted.
