Chenzo... I'm sorry, I don't believe I am familiar with the name.
Mr Chenzo, you are indeed correct that relations between the Outcasts and Bretonia have indeed soured over the last few years.. well, perhaps more than a few. Many would not give you the time of day. The fact you so brazenly broadcast your location almost invites some brazen Captain to assemble a task force to come along and arrest you.
Luckily for you, I am not some "balls to the wall" Captain, eager to make a name in the attempt of advancing their career. In fact, I remember fighting alongside your people against the threat posed by Gallia. Our people died alongside one another in the face of a greater evil. It is in respect of their sacrifice that I will spare some time for you this day.
Though speak well, Vin Chenzo, for if I am not satisfied,
I will sanction that task force myself.
Yours, In Service to Her Majesty the Queen,
Lord Admiral Michelle O'Brian, Admiral of the Fleet Lord Oakington of Cambridge

A task force to arrest me, quite an interesting concept. One I do not wish to partake in so if you could hold off that would be grand. One can assure I'm of no harm what so ever.
I certainly appreciate the words spoken. There is no higher honour than to take up arms in the defence of those held dear, held friendly.
If you ever care to wonder how such terms were met in the first instance to find Outcasts taking up arms to fight along side your people then it would lead to the great realisation that some of us took an oath to defend your space in the face of a very common enemy, the Corsairs. Once the frogs came, it felt all too natural to extend the crosshairs to them also.
Outcasts as I'm sure you are aware, live much longer than the normal lifespan of any human by nature of the product we are famous or infamous for, depending on how you look at it.
Among other things, It is because of our lifespan that words spoken & agreements made are all the more important to be kept. Breaking one's word is worse than death itself.
Personally, an oath of allegiance was taken whereby I would not fire upon nor order any to fire upon your people, military or civilian. Many relics or token's found their way to myself, the largest may indeed surprise you.
Please note the attached record below detailing the smallest Bretonian token in one's possession.
I am well aware of our previous arrangement regarding the corsairs. Though I may have been a more junior officer then, my military career does indeed reach back that far.
I find it interesting that you mention one's word, and honour of an agreement, for it was the outcasts that broke our understanding. Perhaps your people do not share your values?
We could go back and forth on the past for days on end, but this serves nothing but to waste each others time. You have a reason for reaching out, so let us proceed.
What would you ask of the Armed Forces?
Yours, In Service to Her Majesty the Queen,
Lord Admiral Michelle O'Brian, Admiral of the Fleet Lord Oakington of Cambridge

It is most disconcerting that you advise it was the Maltese side which tarnished relations. Although I’m sure there is no going back, if you could highlight who, how, when, it would be most interesting to expose the snake within the luscious grass.
Any Maltese who doesn’t share these values is an imposter, shall be treated as such.
Quite rightly, I shall move on, I’ll make two points and allow you to connect the dots of my suggestion.
The situation in Dublin given events so recent beyond anyone’s control leave a bottleneck which I’m sure you are aware of.
Most recently, we have dealt a crippling blow to the Corsairs closer to their home. Their primary source of food is crippled, supplies to this scum of a force will no longer exist, the enemy becomes more desperate & far too stupid to recoil reaches they cannot hope to sustain on multiple fronts without supplies.
I can elaborate if you don’t understand what I mean, but that’s the information I offered.
The request was merely to meet your acquaintance, one is humbled to have conversed with a Bretonian fit of their rank.
