Bonjour, allow me to present myself.

I am Robert d'Autoine, Head Councilor of the Commonwealth, a zoner association in the upper taus.

It has come to my attention that yesterday, a member of the Commonwealth was transporting Silver to the Tau Region and it has been stopped by a member of the Police Authority and sanctioned with a tax.

After we got documented on your laws with a bit of a more insight we found out that the incident was a misunderstanding, understandable, but detrimental to the integrity of the Commonwealth's interests. Unfortunately, the misunderstanding was our fault and by this, I would like to forward you my excuses in the name of the entire Commonwealth. Mille Regrets!

Since we're on this subject, monsieurs, I would like to ask if there is any possibility of acquiring a Tau Trading License on behalf of the Commonwealth? Since we live in the upper taus, we need to sustain our "prosperity" and we can't afford to be cut off completely from the rest of Sirius. I assure you that all required details and questions will be answered.

That would be all. Au revoir, monsieurs.
