Greetings, Office of the Admiralty,

We are not happy with letting our communications open with our clients, but we can propose a limited access instead. Communications here are designated as communications, and not the records of interpersonal communications. Thus, access to limited communications of these factions will be available to you, chosen by ours truly.

We still maintain the fact that we, as a private detective agency, uses the communications channels as our main tool for gathering intelligence, and fulfilling contracts. We cannot confirm nor deny the use of unconventional and unorthodox ways of obtaining information. Intelligence gathering, especially with our company, is necessarily reliant on questionable entities. By giving up access to these past communications, we are not only betraying customers, but also betraying ourselves, as selling information is our main "commodity". We urge you to reconsider, and we would prefer another clause instead, of similar intensity if you wish so.

We have learnt of the lessons behind this incident, our ships are reinforced, and tracked, and once again, we want to confirm that this incident was not realized by an agent of the Office. The modified clause is highlighted in the draft below.

If needed, we can meet instead at a neutral base such as a Freeport, in order to avoid a back and forth until we finally agree on this agreement.
