NCC Minister of Foreign Affairs Magister Yuri Orlov
Good evening Commander Sanchez.
I'm the Magister Yuri Orlov, head of the foreign affairs of the New Covenant Church. Pleased to meet you.
Thank Deux our ships have not had any encounters with the pirates you mention, so I cannot give you much information. However, I can assure you that the Church has never hired pirates to kill Outcasts or Core, as we currently have no issues with these people. In fact, we've no relationship with them at all.
In any case, if there were any problem with them, the Theta Treaty indicates that it's the Corsair fleet that is in charge of defending the Zoners against any external threat, so we would adress to the Imperio from the beginning to inform you of the situation. Accusing the signatories of the Treaty, even pointing to an organization as respectable as Omicron Supply Industries, of hiring rabble people to deliver justice, it's as outrageous as absurd, for being unnecessary. If you'll pardon the vulgarity, that pirate was most likely lying to save his ass, and I wouldn't believe a word he said.
I'm glad to see that the Corsair Tribunal and the Conclave are working hard to prevent Treaty violations on Theta, and to protect the signatories from theft and violence. Allow me to express the gratitude of His Holiness and my own, for dealing with this issue quickly and efficiently. If you need anything else, please feel free to contact me.
Deux be with you.
