Honored Guild Masters,
I am Commissar Sudoplatov, representing the Sirius Coalition.
Too often in the past, we have, at best, ignored each other. Very rarely did we interact with each other, pressed as we were by our own matters. The Coalition believes this must end.
We have the utmost respect for the Guild's history, how it rejected the Rheinlander imperialism and elected to fight back, on its own, the greatest navy of its time, and ultimately won, after a long and costly conflict. We have no small degrees of admiration for the Guild's independence, stuck in the middle between many rivaling, and often violently opposing factions. We are very aware of the Guild's professionalism and courtesy in bringing H-Fuel to Sirius with unquestioning dominance, in spite of lousy attempts to hijack this success by competitors.
The Coalition, through my humble voice, wishes to say that it holds the GMG in high esteem, and also wishes for better relations between our two parties. We believe that we have mutual interests, and each of us could benefit greatly from a closer relationship and cooperation.
I have not brought any terms, contracts or any sort of tricky deal with me, honored Guild Masters. All I brought with me is the will of the Coalition to establish proper, friendly relationship between our two independent entities, mute to each other for too long. Our will alone is not sufficient to accomplish this, hence why I'm here to ask : will you heed our call ?
I will be expecting your reply. You may express your concerns, questions or doubts here and they will be addressed promptly and with utmost sincerity.

Honored Guild Masters,
As our initial transmission went unanswered, we deduced that you were still discussing the matter. Please take the time you need before conceiving an answer, the Coalition does not mean to rush you and understands that the Guild needs some time to counsel.
However, there is something I would like to share with you, for free, as a token of our good will towards the Guild. I recently received a report from one of our patrols sent in the Omicrons. They gathered interesting information there that concerns you directly, upon meeting units belonging to the AI Consensus. Attached are images taken during the encounter. I hope you will find them to be useful.

Honored Guild Masters,
While I understand that your attention may be called elsewhere in these times of trouble, the Coalition is still expecting an answer from you, be it negative or positive, so we may move on accordingly.
I thank you for your time.

It appears the Guild is swarming with allies and can therefore afford, not merely to reject a simple offer of friendship, but to not even bother replying. Reports of your courtesy seem to have been greatly exaggerated.
Rest assured this has been duly noted, and the aforementioned offer has been retracted.

While our response to your initial message is coming late, you need to understand that the Coalition's communique was quite unexpected, to say the least. Unexpected, though not necessarily entirely unwelcomed.
You seem to be well-informed of the Guild's past, though it leaves us at a disadvantage. We ourselves know very little of the Coalition, or their agenda. The few, brief encounters that we've had so far have either been by exchange of gunfire, or by the attempted spread of your propaganda in our space, of which has so far gone ignored.
Though we're grateful for the intel that you've so graciously provided us with, it'll be of limited use to us, now that the A.I. are all but gone from the Sigmas and our space. One for the archives, if nothing else. Arigato, we'll accept it as an act of good grace.
I'll be blunt, Sudoplatov-sama, but it's no secret that the Guild is a profiteering organization. That said, we have our own set of morals and integrity, which will be most difficult for outsiders to grasp the concept of. Just the way we like it.
So now that we've made you wait for an uncomfortable long time, what is it exactly that you can offer us in return for, to "heed your call", now what that may truly mean.
