"Manners" must take on a different meaning where you're from for you to brazenly come forth like this, sister. Ordinarily such a request has at the very least some semblance of brown-nosing or even an offer of something in exchange prior to the groveling on display here. I've respect for the Sisterhood but not exactly enough to hand out one of my Heavy Escorts on the fly. You ask of me a warship of quality unseen elsewhere in all of Sirius, fit only to be held by those of the Orange that can make full use of it's might through skill and the utmost determination.

Or to put it another way: Malta is more than capable of defending itself, but we are only able to do so by the possession of vessels such as these. You ask of us to stretch the Maltese Navy and all familial warbands even thinner for your own ends- a respectable request I suppose but ultimately one that raises more questions and smacks of self-centric vigilantism more than it does cooperation with Malta.

Such an exchange should be one of mutual benefit and yet all I see here is a lust for a toy that I'm not sure I'm willing to hand over just yet. Convince me otherwise and then we can discuss specifics, but blatantly coming forth and asking for such a thing with nothing in the way of an offered bargaining chip isn't going to work here.
