The situation on Crete is certainly problematic, but I don't think this is the way to go, good sir. Have you ever heard of that saying about flies and honey? It's very true! How do you think the Jeweled Windbird had managed to spread to so much of Planet Gaia? Yes, logical trapping, not blind threats. Unfortunately, well, you know the situation.
But in the interest of keeping the peace, I do hereby offer to personally deliver 12,000 units of standard sized food rations, half to Cadiz and half straight to Crete, if you will turn those prisoners, and any others you may capture, over to me instead. From there I pledge to peacefully return them to Constable Thorn and the BPA.
