George Black / National Council affiliates,

I'm going to start this off by stating that direct administration of Maltese-based installations lies with oft-absent National Council-appointed officials at this time.

Cooperation is not something the children of Malta are fully against, however the simple acceptance of your offer at pure face value isn't going to happen. Though the famiglia of Amalfi have a past and very loose affiliation with OS&C through their now defunct subsidiary company Sirius Postal Service, the larger corporate tree is not one that truly holds Malta's best interests in mind. To briefly touch upon specifics: a few years ago, SPS provided support for the tau-liberty Cardamine trade route by means of a midway storage outpost, as well as the occasional haulage vessel to the cause. Though it did not have a drastic effect on the trade, the mere fact that some facets of OS&C proved to be trustworthy in this venture indicates that there may be others among the organization that are also likewise capable of seeing the light of reason.

I would advise whichever NC official ends up handling this communique keep this past positive affiliation in mind when considering this offer, as well as the overall security of Malta, as is your position's mandate.

--R&D Division Chief & Senior Agent,
Harry Callahan
