Señor Pepe "El Comisario":
I have to say no, our Carrier is not disarmed. We're people of Deux, and peaceful, but certainly we're not idiots. Only the trip of our ship to Omega 49, would be enough dangerous to justify their weaponry, not to mention other dangers as the Nomad threat.
However, you must not worry for this. The crew of the Magallanes will not open fire on Empire ships or intervene in this conflict militarily. This is a totally humanitarian mission, and we're only concerned about the safety and health of the inhabitants of Gran Canaria. Deux doesn't get involved in politics, and neither do we.
Anyway, if you still are not convinced, you can contact Señor Miguel Sephardi in Crete, currently gracious host of His Holiness Paolus LXIV, Pontiff of the NCC. He will certainly be able to tell you about our Holy Church and its role in this corner of Sirius.
We're a Church, Señor Comisario, not an army. Our job is to help our human brothers and sisters, not hide spies or intrigue against the Empire.
I agree with you that it really would be very disgusting if it should appear some kind of trouble between your brave Carabineros and my humanitarian personnel. It would be much better than both of us dedicate our efforts to achieve peace and to help the population of Gran Canaria. I'm sure in that matter, we both want the same thing.
You also have all my respect, señor. Deux be with you.
