Buenas tardes.

There are a few things I must address first.

First and foremost, the system you propose of "vassalship" is difficult to uphold. While the Galileo and Kepler systems are not under direct control of houses Liberty and Kusari, there are... Other difficulties which arise. As I stated before, it is difficult to gather destructive capable forces under their noses, nor do we find it a particularly prominent cause. If you desire to deal with some who may have some warships in that area, I suggest you contact the Liberty Rogues.

Secondarily, we regret to say we have yet to receive and have not yet received any suggestions by De Marco of you.

However, I am not one to keep a closed mind. If you demonstrate excellence and prowess within these areas, for example by establishing contact with the Rogues or other forces within, and adding credibility to the feasibility of your plan, we will take into greater consideration those systems, and very well consider your request.

However, this is not a closed matter. There are various other topics I am sure you wish to discuss for bringing this together. I would enjoy we leave this channel open, for further discussion, or if you were to need assistance on your journey. If it benefits the Orange Dream, we are after all, open minded towards it.

That is all for now. Good day, Senor Piacentini
