So far, all we've done is what we told you we would do. I'm on my way to New London now however and I will find out all the specifics of what happened with the 13th and let you know everything very soon.

I'm in the process of questioning my people. My problem is I do not want to bring too much attention to what my people are doing in Leeds, Edinburgh, and the Taus. They are continuing their patrols, the subject of which I believe you are aware.
It seems that the 13th offered our people access to a base they had recently constructed. I was encouraged by this as there was no friendly place for us to dock in Edinburgh. They also needed help supplying the base. Again, I had no problem with this as we were able to quietly dock there and we are always able to bring in supplies even under dangerous conditions. Here's where things went afoul however. They wanted us to just hand over the supplies for practically no money whatsoever. I'm not sure who exactly they think we are, but we aren't running a charity and we aren't interested in working for the glory of queen and country. We simply want to preserve our way of life and not go broke doing it.
Anyway, I was ready to pull the plug on the whole thing after this. Actually I did pull the plug. They claim we backed out of a deal. I think I could call it something else when you've delivered 250 million credits worth of supplies and you decided to halt operation because you haven't been paid.
Here's where it really gets interesting. Apparently, they made a clandestine offer to some of my people that they would supply them with free cloaking devices if they continued to make deliveries. Well, some people went along with this as well, but just like the money this offer never materialized.
At this point we have received a grand total of 150 million credits for our efforts. I have instructed my people to back off and forget this ludicrous idea of cloaking our ships, because that is not going to happen. We are not trying to collect anymore money from them. We are going to let this matter drop. We will continue flying ships through Edinburgh even though I suspect we will have no place to land there now and we will continue to pass information of to the QCP as it seems to be in our best interest to do so at the time.
