Hola.

I'll be frank. It's interesting seeing the Overwatch contact us after such a long period of time after Sehranna's use ran out. While it's nice to see that the Order still maintains the desire to remove the Nomad threat as we do, that plight as you say is second now to our conflict with Gallia. I won't say no to any support from the Overwatch on the field of Nomad invasions and the like, but as it stands the Republic has opted to try and distance ourselves from that fight. The Order's decree with the National Council, as much as I despise them, is a boon that I honestly cannot argue with, and with Gallia's increasing movement into territory they don't own, our focus has been shifted towards them instead, and mainly our homeworld.

In short, I won't refuse your support against the Nomads, and in fact I'd welcome it, but in our position, we're just not militarily capable of taking on Gallia, the Nomads and our falsely led brothers and sisters in the National Council. As it stands, we're not even sure if we're capable of taking on Gallia, but with our support from Crayter, it's more doable.

I appreciate it, but your offer may be null as we're not fully focused against the Nomadic threat. We have some forces, but any official conflict we take against the Nomads will be Loyola and her fanatical regime of infectees flying alongside her.

For Malta and her children.

Regards,
Colonel Maria Cortez
Task Force Pacientia
Republic of Malta
