INITIALIZING MESSAGE

---

I apologize on behalf of the Council. You will understand that the President is a busy woman and therefore prone to have a tight schedule, and thus matters that do not directly pertain to the higher ranks are, of course, delegated to those with sufficient time on their hands. To clarify, the prohibition of cloaking devices as described in the newly imposed laws of the National Council of Malta is in place to prevent entities from clandestinely entering restricted areas. While I personally agree that it is problematic to enforce, I would nevertheless urge you to heed the advice given by the President and refrain from using any cloaking technology. While we deem it unlikely for the Nomads to actively show hostilities towards you unless you have wronged them in some way, which is why the aforementioned devices really work to your detriment, we agree that, in case of such an event, you are permitted to use the device. Note that the National Council of Malta does not take responsibility for any damage your vessel might sustain while the device charges. Alternatively, you could just use Maltese technology and identifications over your stay, which would make things infinitely easier.

Now, in regards to accomodations for the project: We could offer your people to work on Galicia Research Station. Not only would this installation house proper equipment for scientific work, it would also be less cramped, which would at least be something that I would appreciate. It's location is also rather advantageous, as its location is rather quiet. If you agree to the transfer, please notify us over this channel and the necessary preparations can be started.

Also, how was that drink you took with you from Valetta? Never really been one for anything but water myself, really.
