Buenos días Senor Burton,

Gracias for coming back to me. First let me assure you that our food supplies to Planet Pygar would not have been authorized if they had negatively affacted the situation on Crete. Just as you try to look out for your people, I will put the interests of the Cretans first.

I am glad to hear about your new pragmatic approach and your general interest to maintain peace in Omicron Theta. As I outlined in my initial message, we have put enormous efforts into the restoration of Freeport 9 and steadily improved our relationships with various Zoner groups. This should underline our intentions to keep the peace between our peoples rather than further escalation. Unfortunately, Phoenix has been an exception to this rule in the past as you declined all our efforts for collaboration and instead supported our enemies, the Outcasts and the Core. Your demand to return Freeport 9 back into your control, tells me that you clearly misinterpret your position and the Imperio is certainly not willing to accept such a term.

The conditions outlined in the Corsair-Zoner treaty demand that you decline Outcasts docking rights on your installations as well as refrain from any other friendly agreements with them. In return, you will receive Corsair military protection in Omicron Theta and the Omegas, a position in the joint Corsair-Zoner Administrative Board of Freeport 9 and the already running supplies to Corfu and Pygar.

Should you wish to participate in this treaty and the restoration of Freeport 9 including its biodomes, you will need to provide a serious show of good faith. Although you initially refused to do so, thinking the Outcasts had your back, you are running out of options amigo. The alternatives would not be pleasant as you can imagine, with no military power to back up your claims. You are an outlier even among the rest of your kind, as they were wise not to challenge us and instead profit from our collaboration that leads to the best possible outcome for Zoners and peace in Omicron Theta.

<Virtus unita fortior, Deterrence>
