By Commission of Executor Francisco Javier de Creta

Señora Norris,

Your swift reply and acceptance of our conditions is noted. To be plain — had you hesitated or sought to soften them, the Imperio would have refused your request, and this Tournament would never see Crete’s skies. You have chosen wisely.

Now, we move to the next matter. If this spectacle is to be hosted under the gaze of the Imperio, we must know who dares enter. Which factions will send pilots? How many ships should we expect? And when, exactly, will this Tournament be fought? These details are not for courtesy — they are required, so our warriors may be briefed and our patrols prepared.

Understand this: a careless “participant” wandering blind through our space will not survive long enough to reach Aptera. Better you provide us with the full roster and timeframe than see would-be challengers reduced to wreckage before the games even begin.

Bring us this information without delay, and then — perhaps — the Tournament of Snubs will proceed as you envision it.


Voice of the Executor
For Crete. For the Imperio.
