Senior Agent Veritas,
The Confederacy of Freeports didn't truly fall under its own accord, as internal issues around the CoF sundered the already cracking system. The system was granting power to representatives far above what we, as the heads of each partition desired. Individuals with no true insight to the interests and dealings of the Zoner groups involved were making decisions that would impact the groups so negatively for the sake of quieting a barking dog. That being said, we have decided to dissolve the overseeing portions of the CoF and let each administrator and group see to the diplomacy of their own stations. This has been preventing escalations of minor issues, as well as eliminating a lot of paperwork for us in the long haul, leaving us a lot more free to focus matters onto issues that matters.

Know that, on behalf of IRG as a whole, we understand the laws set in place until the proposal is processed, and we will be patient. Your aforementioned emphasis of trust is particularly interesting, as typically we don't choose sides when we can avoid it. I realize that when it comes to military movements, it's imperative to preserve resources, and we would have no issue granting access to what information we intercept. We only ask that the LSF be selective in their strikes, so our own information gathering does not put us at risk; People find it odd and alarming when their opponent knows exactly when and where they'll be somewhere. As for building trust, in the meantime, if the LSF has tasks they would like us to do in preparation or any acts of good will that would further improve the trust between our groups, we'd be happy to do so in a limited capacity.

I hope we do not disappoint.
