Dr. Holliday,

Thank you for your message. It is most gratefully received and The Guild trusts you are well.

The predicament we find ourselves in is a most unfortunate one. Foregoing the preamble out of respect for yourself, in short there has been a station constructed in Guild space in violation of the Gas Miners Guild's laws and regulations. Med Force Enterprises and their agents acting on their behalf have been supplying and further developing this illegal installation, also in violation of Guild law.

For GMG and Med Force Enterprises, a decidedly benevolent, philanthropic organisation, to come to blows is an entirely undesirable outcome and, in frank terms, insanity. But the facts are established. Med Force Donryu RnD exists in flagrant violation of Guild law, and to continue to illegally supply and operate it, knowingly and willingly infringing on Guild law in Guild space in the face of polite requests to cease such operations, is undoubtedly an unprovoked act of aggression from your organisation.

MFE is held is high regard by The Guild and your claims that you have not constructed this station are accepted at face value. It is also genuinely believed that no harm is intended. However, regardless of the identity of its constructors and the intent of its current occupiers, the continued existence and development of this installation undoubtedly steps on the hard-fought for sovereignty of the Gas Miners Guild in its own space.

Hundreds of thousands of men and women have given their lives over the centuries to protect the Gas Miners Guild's right to independence and self-determination. To forego its own rules in its own space that are established to safeguard the results of their efforts would be to run roughshod over their sacrifice. A strict, unwavering adherence to The Guild's will in its own space has been and must be maintained to ensure its very survival in the face of the legions raiders, looters, murderers and even outright entire house invasions that test its fortitude on a daily basis. Without this conviction, it would surely cease to exist.

It is for these reasons this installation must be dismantled, and hopefully this explains that The Guilds intent to do this is borne not from malice, but in protection of the principles that safeguard its very existence. It is hoped that MFE might empathise with our plight and not risk senseless violence with otherwise friendly neighbours that genuinely understand and appreciate the value you add to the Sirius Sector as a whole.

It is believed that your escort has already evacuated, but should any other ships need to leave Med Force Donryu RnD, they may do so in peace unmolested.

Cordially,

Keiji Namura
