Adjutant Bancroft,

Your words have done a lot to help assuage reservations, and I thank you for your humble approach to our inquiries.

On the topic of the Xenophobia, you are entirely right in the matter of exploitation by foreign actors. The UMC has no colonialist or imperialist aims or aspirations, outside of potentially in the distant future, finding a habitable planet to reside upon once Gran Canaria enters her Ice Age in the next 300 or so years - and even then we would opt to co-exist or claim that which is uninhabited already, before ever considering to just take what is not ours. Our territory on Gran Canaria was bought from assets we sold from our time under the Ouroboros banner, as well as territories not already claimed by other collectives, or by say, OSI or the Phoenix.

We chose this territory because a close friend of our head of state, already had land in this region, and she felt its' alpine majesty fitting for us to call home. That being said, We entirely understand the desire to not be taken advantage of - the only people who enjoy that are masochists, or have some sort of perverse incentive for doing so. That said, rest assured we have no incentive or desire to exploit the people of the LFR, just as you wish not to exploit our people.

That being said, with all of this answered, I can safely say that a state visit may be in order sometime in the future - but until such time we will keep this channel open to discuss matters.

Until next time, Adjutant Bancroft.
