Bonjour et bonne journée, I am Nadine Hachette, Supreme Navarch of the Technocracy and an extension of of its will.

That is to say formalities aside that I have a militaristic as well as diplomatic background. Out of respect I will not waste your time on pleasantries and get to the point of this inquiry. The Technocracy seeks to broaden its logistical horizons and that means an interest in trade involving the Gallic Union and her people, as well as the privilege to freely transit through civilian designated sectors of your territorial holdings.

We understand the security risks foreign vessels within your domain could pose, and being of Gallic blood myself I understand the lack of lenience towards Sirian identities. Nothing comes without cost and surely in return for granting us such a liberty you will want something in return. We look forward to hearing your assessment of our offer.
