Representatives of the Council
I doubt my communication to you is entirely unexpected, however with the recent communication with Elizabeth Hall I realised I needed to touch base with those who had returned and remained upon Gran Canaria.
I'll start by saying however, the way you "Represented" yourselves was, well to be frank, an absolute disgrace. I understand the frustration and hatred towards Miss Hall and those who she served. But we MUST always rise above that and set the example for those we represent, regardless of our personal feelings.
Now obviously I realise that its been sometime since I've had contact with Canaria, that is my own fault. Once Pygar was established enough i should of found the time to reconnect, but I didn't. The communication from Miss Hall and your reply do bring up the fact that something needs to be done since the one time this "council" have made themselves known wasn't done in the best light. As such im reaching out to you to see who this council is made up from.
This communication isn't just for me to find out who you are, its also to let you know that I intend to establish a fully fleshed out body of governance and representation for Gran Canaria, so I will be contacting all Zoner parties who have a vested interest. If you wish to be included in this then I need a pair of guarantee's from you.
Firstly; that you remain non violent toward's Elizabeth Hall and her household. Protest all you wish but violence is not acceptable.
Secondly; That you will handle yourselves with a bit more Professionalism and integrity during the discussions.
If you can agree to that then id be happy to include you in hopefully establishing a genuine Zoner Authority for Gran Canaria.

Mr. Vancloud, you are wrong! Your communication is unexpected. The Council of Gran Canaria ... or what is left of it … is compose by those who stay behind while others fled, those who fought and suffered under Bretonian rule, and then when the bretonians left and sacked everything they could and destroyed everything they couldn’t take, this Council that you don’t recognize, was the only thing that prevented a civil war. I saw with my own eyes people fighting for a simple generator, while few meters away there were 5 storage. To prevent this, this Council was formed, to organize the few resources we had and send then where they were most needed, and get more the best way possible. The counselors are most former mayors or local representatives from cities that most now are completely abandoned, and thank to that, many lives were saved. Now it is on decline since the start of the second migration, but even so, those who are still here, despite rarely there is an consent, we are the ones that saved Gran Canaria, not thanks to you and your Phoenix and any other parties that you wish to gather, to return to Gran Canaria as the great saviors and legitimate rulers. Gran Canaria is now flourish, those are planning to stay, despite the extreme climate change, are now getting new ways to survive, even now building ships. And now that we don’t need any help, you show up, after a bretonian wishes to make deals here …!!! Hmmm!! Mr. Vancloud … the same Vancloud that signed a treaty with the bretonians while they were raping … torturing … murdering Zoners? What is called? Treaty of Las Palmas and … look another one! Ambrosia! You know … if you search on a dictionary what the definition of traitor … yeahhh! That sounds pretty much that! So an absolute disgrace is someone that not only deals with the enemy, but also wants to continue to deal with the enemy.
Zoners are and will be Zoners, so you can bring who the hell you want, will not recognize any ruler that not only abandoned us but also betrayed us. And bring a coat … it is snowing on Port Canaria right now, and beware to who you announce your presence … we don’t forget!

A shame it seems that the spokesperson for the council seems to be ignorant to affairs surrounding the Annexation and subsequent exodus of Gran Canaria and your sheer lack of understanding on how treaties work.
I was at the forefront of resistance against the Bretonian campaign, I left my long held Position within OSI in order to attempt to repel The Armed force's of the crown. I put my ship the Kaldra and its crew at risk many times, leading any who were brave enough to join me in trying to halt the Invasion.
When we were unable to stop the invasion, it was myself who begun leading convoy's of refugee's away to find a safe haven in the Omicrons.
It was I who oversaw and led those who fled to Pygar to establish a new home, a home that was ferocious and untamed, a home I have spent a considerable amount of time ensuring has all that is required to sustain and allow the Zoner's who now call it home to thrive and have their independence, working with the likes of Med Force Enterprises to ensure health care, working with Ageira to get a Docking ring to allow Safe passage through the planets countless Storms.
So do not tell me that I left the people of Gran Canaria, yes there were those who remained who I couldn't help, instead I helped those who couldn't stay and wanted a safe haven from the Houses.
Now the treaty was signed as a means to an end, not everything can be done by the barrel of a gun, and we didnt have guns big enough, you as a supposed ex person of authority should know this. We had to go to the Diplomacy table or nothing was going to be achieved. I signed the treaty of Ambrosia, i had nothing to do with Las Palmas, that's OSI's doing.
My intention was to make a combined representation for Gran Canaria, not to put in a "Ruler". But, if you and your council feel they have it all in hand, then perhaps its best to leave well enough alone, I will ensure to direct anything related to the planet to yourselfs

Good Morning, Mr. Voncloud,
It has been awhile since we spoke. I hope this finds you well.
While Med Force Enterprises is not a member of any ruling council on Gran Canaria, Canaria Medical is still there and quietly operating. It does not have the staff it once did but it still serves those who choose to live there regardless of affiliation. The staff that is there tells me how it is quiet after the very dark days of Bretonian occupation and there brutality.
Ms. Hall will get no respect from any self respecting Zoner, especially those driven from there home. Until you have sat in her office being interrogated for murder one did not commit, until you have sat there in shotgun diplomacy with her government, I will not see a harshly worded reply to her as disgraceful. Rather, I see it as warranted. The Crown is very good at beating up on those weaker than they are but they are terrible at matching up against someone equal to or stronger than they are. Remember their conflict with Kusari? Or even Gallia?
In my opinion, the only way to represent Gran Canaria is through unity. A council of reputable groups, not so much individuals. We tried the latter once and it just did not work. On the surface of the planet, I do not know who represents the local population but that is someone who would also have to be included.
Mr. Voncloud, keep us posted at Med Force Entrprises. I can begin sending some people and goods as needed and maybe we can meet.
