I guess that the diplomatic protocol obliges me to present myself even if the Sirius Coalition is aware of my person and my interests as much as me myself. I am Sequoia Heather Hart and my current role is representation of the interests of Gaian movement, or, to be more precise, Gaian colonists in Faroe system. While I had already had the opportunity to voice my interests and suggestions, the properly addressed message would, most probably, have a much better effect.
Sirius Coalition, being among of the few sides that are considered trustworthy in our current situation is the technologically advanced and progressive industrial state with its own political interests not limited to the Omega star cluster and, among the other things this message suggests the measures that benefit both the Sirius Coalition and the Gaians. I guess that the brief review of the events of the last weeks as observed directly from the shortcut used by the Gallic Royal Navy to advance into Bretonia that I provided to Major Stroganov had already reached the destination and you are aware of our current status as group maintaining several stations in occupied space and directly behind the frontlines, as well as colonizing the desolate Faroe system, valuable due to wormholes connecting it to Orkney and Lewis systems.
I also hope that you are already informed of what we can provide to Sirius Coalition and what do we request from Sirius Coalition as a return favor. From our side it's primarily the operational areas, our strategic positions in Manchester, Newcastle and Faroe, our access to the information regarding positions and movements of Royal Navy and their opponents, our current contacts with Gallic groups and the current role of Freeport Islay as a hub for the exchange of contacts and resources between interested parties. Our own requests are primarily based on the interest in establishing the quality of life for the refugees and other colonists in Faroe system which wasn't meant to accept that number of people and currently lacks its own production lines to cover their needs without continuously maintained supply runs. Our main goal is to establish its independence - both in political terms of a kind and in terms of being able to exist in isolation for a considerable period of time.
Guess the protocol part ends here.
I hope that the logic behind contacting you is simple enough to not be a matter of politics. But it's not a request for help based on the happenings of the last year; it's more an attempt to work out the solution that would make the cooperation more comfortable without obliging any side. Yes, if my suggestions would be accepted, I would be in a great debt for the Coalition, yet I aim for conditions benefiting both sides in given circumstances.
I took the freedom to initiate this discussion and I would take another one by suggesting the Torshavn Space Port in Faroe as a ground for any future verbal collaboration if such will take place. So far I direct my best wishes to the Premier Alvin Katz and the others contributing to the good of their People in Omega-52 and around the Sirius.

[font=Book Antiqua][color=#FFFFFF]Apologies for the late response Mademoiselle, as you may've figured by now Commandant Xu and Colonel Rhade are tied up with other affairs and are unable to tend to your query at the moment. Unfortunately, Major Stroganov has failed to report any such event to us; however we have been lucky enough to see most of what you describe with our own eyes. With that in mind, your proposal is interesting to say the least.
Although you have made it clear that the Gaians need something in return for what they offer, not that I can blame you, you have scarcely made it clear what that something is, leaving us unable to provide you with whatever is you may be asking for. While your goals were made more than clear if you are asking for some form of direct support or supplies of some kind, specific details would be appreciated.
There is little doubt that additional talks will be needed before anything can be promised on our end. I'll be working on reporting to the rest of High Command personally before any further movements are made, as these are obligations I am unable to commit to on my own. You also needn't worry about our position on the past; we haven't forgotten it and we're still grateful. Do expect to hear from us soon Mademoiselle Hart.
Au Reviore,
It wasn't in my intentions to distract Commandant and Colonel Rhade from the matters of grave importance and I'm glad yet to receive this answer and acknowledgement of your incentive for future discussion. It brought a considerable relief in this situation.
Since Gaians struggle against the corporate activities in Edinburgh system is put on pause with the change of occupant, survival of our colony in Faroe system and establishing a new quality of life for people there appears to be a prior vector for our diplomatic activities. Familiarizing myself with the achievements of Sirius Coalition in this sphere was the reason behind my recent visit to Zhukovsky Station and I guess that it's something Gaians would need a help of technologically superior Coalition with.
I need to admit that the renewed Faroe can serve as a safe haven for both Gaians and the Coalition, allowing the latter to establish an outpost in a strategically advantageous area between Bretonia and Gallia space. That's the best answer I can give and since this moment I would be waiting to see the response.
INCOMING TRANSMISSION
COMM ID: Premier Alvin Katz of the Coalition
LOCATION: State Duma ' Kremlin Dome, Volgograd, Omega-52
TARGET ID: Gaian Elders of Faroe
Greetings, Honoured Elders, from the floor of the Coalition's State Duma, the Coalition People's Representative body does greet you with honour and the deepest respects.
Many of the representatives here remember the events of the Volkhan uprizing, and the invaluable part you and yours played in restoring liberty and our way of life to this system. Without your kindness when we were cold and alone in the dark, we would surely have perished.
It is with the spirit of that understanding that the Representatives, and through them, the people of the Coalition, wish to extend to you our deepest sympathies for the Gallic Invasion, and the horrors it has inflicted upon that which we know is sacred to you.
We cannot, and will not turn our backs on your suffering.
What you need will be provided, and we will extend the shield of protection we extend to our closest friends, to you as well. Our forces stand ready to assist, and a corps of our emergency relief engineers are standing by, along with our best technical and medical corps to depart for Faroe immediately.
The Great Ice Bear has awakened from its slumber, and it will defend the forests.
This is our pledge of Alliance,
Premier Alvin Katz
Премьер-министр Элвин Кац
Volgograd
Sirius Coalition Revolutionary Army
Революционная Армия Коалиции Сириуса
We, the Gaian Elders, are pleased to hear that Sirius Coalition Revolutionary Army will once again fight alongside us. Those are troubled times for our organisation and we need any help we can get.
Gallic invasion caught us with our pants down, so a major damage has been dealt, both to our infrastructure and our manpower. Therefore, supplies, food and water, engineers, repair tehnicians, anything you can offer will help us greatly.
Also, we would like to offer you the cooperation against both Monarichies clashing over Edinburgh in the everlasting stubborness. As you are ready to follow us, we are confident in following you.
When your men are ready, you can set course to Islay base in Edinbourgh, I'm sure you know where it's located. From Islay, a group of Gaians will lead you to Faroe. You understand that we must be cautious, and not send coordinantes of our precious system in easy hackable transmissions.
Again, we thank you for support, and we hope that we'l see your men soon. Be hearing you.
I am indeed honored by the attention brought to this occ-c-casion and trust put into-o-ouch such a decision. As my ro-oww-le in establishing this deeplomatic channel is over, I will not interfere-e-e-e-e in the related affairs unless I'm asked to.
In case my services are required, you m-aww, yeah-y contact me via Lieutenant Alla Alesky (:ylove:), currently unavaliable, unfortunately.
[color=#CCCCCC]*The odd sounds, puffs and heavy breathing on the background of said message resembled the said Alesky in the meanwhile. Voice that follows definetely belongs to Alesky.*
