Signora de Marco,
You have done a great favor to both our nations. Especially when my contacts have failed to produce anything concrete as of yet. I fully understand that trusting me with this evidence is not easy. I will put it to good use without compromising you. Our goals look to be aligned - preventing the mutually assured destruction of our people.
I will bring this information to the relevant parties within the Corsair Imperio. Hopefully, cooler heads will prevail and finally see these events as a prelude to something more dangerous - Core and the Guild sweeping the rug under both of us. I shall urge the war council to de-escalate our open warfare policy back to the stability of our usual hostility and competition. A cold war is largely a bloodless war - mutual distrust and complete co-dependence together with the occasional raids and small skirmishes. Who would want to change that? And at what cost?
I would do my best to focus our attention on our real enemies. Perhaps even attempt to raise a summit for the high-ups of Crete and Malta to discuss some form of non-aggression and an official statement. I hear my predecessors managed to secure such understanding before in Knossos with no major transgressions from either side. Who knows, we might be able to do it again. Ultimately, it would be best for both of us.
I will let you know if there's any developments, Michella Calliente.
