Blood Dragons,
I represent the Queen's Interdiction Wing. I came across your vessel the Blood of Kirai the other day in Tau-31, which prompted me to send this message.
I know we've shared differences in the past. I have personally been helped, verbally accosted and outright attacked on sight by your pilots on different occasions. I've met haughty pilots who would barely deign to speak with me, and I've met the honorable whether they later chose to shoot at me or not.
Past is past, and times change. Gallia is an enemy to us both. The captain and crew of the Blood of Kirai were hot for some action against the Gallics, as are we here in the Wing. When I finished speaking with the Kirai, we were both hopeful we could come to some terms of formal cooperation to hurt the Gallics.
I am open to suggestions as to what this cooperation might entail. If you'll fly besides us to battle, so much the better.
Until the threat of Gallia is ended,
Gareth Silves
Her Majesty's Most Diligent Interdiction Wing
*Gareth looks at the brand new freighter console, a little forlornly.
"You've got to be kidding me you git."
*With a groan, Gareth brings up the communication diagnostics, runs through the standard checklist and filters out an oddity or two. Finally, he punches the keypad with one decisive click.
"Bugger."

[font=Century Gothic]We are not going to encourage any offensive actions against the Gallics since we already have enough to worry about here in Kusari. On the other hand, I believe we already made clear that we wished no cooperation between us and your kind, and it will stay that way no matter the odds.
