Malta is not accountable for the lives you brutes put to death. To sentence the rest of Malta to be held under your miserable whim using their lives as a ransom is a worse fate than anything you can give to them.

They were aware of the price they might have to pay.

We both know you're lying about the state of Crete. Believe what you want - the staggering catastrophe of your last campaign speaks for itself. I am sure we both vividly remember the slaughter as the Fes and then the Kelafonia met their untimely demise, all for the sake of a useless installation. The cards are not in your hands, "Executor", nor will it work to pretend that they are. We won't let you draw your battle line so boldly and foolishly close to our land. Unless the system is fully, truly set as a neutral barrier with no encampments provoking the other side, a "simple truce" is worthless.

And unless you're willing to make some changes to make it happen, I have no business speaking to you.

Until then, we'll enjoy bleeding your forces dry.

Hasta la vista.
