Right, last person you expected to call you. We've been at a precarious position throughout our existance, and I aim to change that. With the enroaching Gallic Navy, and a multitude of other problems... He sighs such as the ever-present threat of the Nomads pushing in through Chester...it's time to put the past behind us. Yes, I'm asking for everything and the kitchen sink here. If we don't wipe he slate clean here and start over, then we'll be trapped by the sins of the past.
He shifts a bit in his chair
So. What do you say? Let it go, and start anew? Take the hard path, the one that will yield the most?
I admit, a message from the Order is not something I usually expect to find awaiting at my desk, so whatever you have to say better be damned well good. I don't have time to take my attention from the Gauls for prank calls, so I swear you'd better have something good to bring me. Remember, to wipe the slate clean, the government will want you to make the first move, not just some transmission mind, but actually do something to gain the support of the people, and by extension, me.
So, you have my attention.

Well. This is already going better than expected. He cracks a wry grin. And gain the support of the people? Yes, the hardest part of this request. That is not my strong suite, honestly. I am not best with the public; I do not know how to sway their thoughts away from the propganda Liberty preaches like the Bible. So, I counter that question with my own.
Now that I have your attention, let's keep it. We both know Chester is a problem...and we know Newcastle's little sideshow. Both are going to have to be rectified. So I propose a Science Team be dispatched and integrated into the BIS Nomad Research Program. And let's not lie.
You had better learn then. Without the support of the people, you won't have my backing. And without my backing, you can kiss goodbye to any good standing in Bretonia, although i will give you a hint. If you are labeled terrorists, act as the opposite. Look to the enemies of Bretonia, there you will find your key to our approval. Come back to me when you know how.
On behalf of the people of Bretonia,

My job is to protect Bretonia, by whatever means I have at my disposal. However, I will not place Bretonia or it's citizens in harms way. Is the Order ready to accept the Bretonians in charge of Bretonian space? God forbid they might actually want to control their own ground... If the Order is willing to accept this, then we may be getting somewhere.
Without the support of the people, we can't be friends. Without your backing, they people won't accept us. Seems like a paradox that is in your favor.
We fight the Nomads; we detest the Outcasts for almost as many reasons as you. What more can we do? How do you expect us to gain favor when you insist on calling us terrorists? The last time we did something like that...lets see...I can't recall.
Let me know what we did, so I can rectify the sins of the past while we fight your current enemies.
