Re:
Diplomatic Arrangements
Now, it seems that we had a misunderstanding with a couple of your pilots earlier today. They didn't want to pay us dues, which we quite understand, as we're only just now reestablishing our spacebourne presence. Now, things got a little violent there, and it resulted in the destruction of both Molly ships. I assure you that it was simply business, rather than anything against the Molly Republic. I do understand that you may not see it that way, though.
Let me be plain. The Buccaneers are not in any condition to fight a full-scale war. We will defend ourselves to the utmost, and if it's anything like that fight earlier today, it'll be bloody. We would rather it not get to that point, though. There's plenty of Bretonia for all of us, and I'm sure that we can reach some sort of mutually beneficial agreement.

Until consul elections are not complite, I wont bother with you.
Until then, try not to do anything smart.
After consul elections are done, meeting could be arranged, on neutral ground.
Unless you are happy with present situation...
