Today the Democratic Peoples of Liberty commited a grave error. In our haste to proove Liberty incompetent we chose to open fire on members of your movement that we have no quarrel with. We chise to throw away what could have been a profitable arrangement in our desire to take control.
I can only say that the mistake was mine. The order given was my order to give.
I apologise to the members of the movement shot down today, we have arrangd for your travel back to Ouray base, you will be unharmed.
Secondly I wish to make reparations to the tune of 25 million sirius credits to be split 5 million to each pilot and 10 million to help fund the Xenos.
Time for payment will be at you own discretion.
Sylpheed out.
---Transmission Terminated---

David Chambers listened as Sylpheed's transmission cut through the thick tension of the Ouray, the returned pilots of the expedition were lined up behind him having just completed their debriefing of the event. A printout was handed to him by the deck officer, the official reply sent from Refugio.
It was what he hoped it would be.
Take your blood money and shove it up your ass.
Returning our boys was a feather in your cap, but we'll not be trusting you or your slippy fingered pilots any further than we can throw 'em, and next time something like this goes down... we'll all be finding out how far that is.
Ouray out.
David took a quick look behind him at the grinning crews.
Well, reckon we'd better pack up the operation and move a little deeper into the field today boys! Could be as we'll be getting some random naval visitors come day's end!
Sylpheed read the reponse from the Xenos, well at least he'd get to keep the cash.
He'd ensure to keep a tighter reign on his men. With the rest of Liberty out ton get them, they could Ill aford another enemy, especially one with whom they had so much in common.
He turned to his aide
"Inform all pilots, unless fired upon, no member of the Democratic Peoples of Liberty is to engage a Xeno. There will be no discussion on this matter."
