Well, its a crap bloody evening i have to contact you lot.

I'll keep this brief.

So, in case you didn't notice, or if none of your boys limped back from that Battleship of yours.
I thought you might want to know, that after his freighter was disabled en route to Bretonia, with the potential of being captured by someone else, your supposed friends in the KNF elected to murder the man in cold blood, vaporised his ship with a god damn missile.

You should pick your friends better, Bretonia. Because i'm starting to think Kusari doesn't think very highly of your national sovereignty.
Though i don't expect you believe me. For what its worth, the Assembly was planning on ransoming the man back to you, unharmed, i guess KNF decided to apply that Death-Before-Dishonour shit to your citizens as well.

Sensor log of the freighters destruction attached.

It is very strange indeed when the Mollies deem it necessary to tell us about the death of a Lord. However as it happens, we are not particularly impressed with this situation for the reasons you have already stated. It would seem we find ourselves in the rather peculiar position of requesting something from you, something you might not be overly willing to give (especially since it is us who is contacting you, not the Prime Minister).

Consider this something of an olive branch, we want answers and I am certain you want to be sure that your internal communication networks are still secure, I believe we might be able to help one another, at least in a limited capacity. If you are willing to explore options, please let me know.

Well count me surprised.

Now here i was figuring if we got a response at all it'd be some political lackey giving me some regurgitated crownie crap.

Well, you've got the Chancellors attention, now while giving anything to Bretonians wouldn'd exactly be in our normal remit, its been a strange week.
You're right, it is odd for us to really give a damn, but regardless of what the rest of Bretonia thinks of us, the Assembly doesn't like murdering people who don't pose an active threat to us.
Yea, yea, i know, tell that to the BMM Captain's floating dead in space, but that outcome is between them and their willingness to die for a Corporation - Or that corporations willingness to make them feel like thats a better choice than just coughing up some credits.

But if Kusari is willing to strike out so blatantly against someone of relative importance, theres no reason for us to believe they won't step all over us, or the regular people, that in mind, make your request, we'll hear it out.
Not all of the Mollys might agree, but the Assembly has a saying. Invaders Before Occupiers.

Your business with the BMM hardly concerns me at the moment what does concern me is Kusari involving itself in Bretonian politics. Putting aside our differences for but a moment we want to know about the events on the 27th of August in the Taus. We don't have many wittnesses or data logs for the events on that day, if you can fill in the blanks, we would be grateful.

I don't expect this information to come for free, and I feel as though it is best policy for you to decide the price.
