Peace in Our Times

[Craines]

Mr. Janos Sandova,

I was unaware of the Independent Miner's Guild presence in the Tau 31 system, having never been able to venture there myself. However, it would seem that the IMG would be perfect for the role of System Governing Party; unfortunately, there would have to be something akin to a Parliament that would be comprised of both Britonians and Kusari analysts. This would be to insure that there would be no corruption within the system.

The tolls are not going to be here to alienate, halt, or otherwise harm anyone. It is simply to aid the rebuilding effort of Tau 31. If you'd care to pay the costs yourself, then the tolls will not be in place. Otherwise, I believe it must be done. However, I am open to suggestions.

The only reason I suggested Rheinland or Liberty control Tau 31 is that, to me, they are the only one's who would be capable of supporting a military presence there that would be worthwhile. I do not mean to insult anyone, but it seemed to me to be the best option. As I have said before, I am open to suggestions.

I do not know why this fighting erupted. Yes, it seems the Shogunate wants to move in, but that is why haste is of great importance. We must insure that there is nothing that will permanently harm anyone's reputation! And Mr. Thastus, I am appalled that you would attempt to instigate another war. That would not aid anyone, except those who flourish on the suffering of others.

I understand that there is nothing that will bring back the dead, but we can try and stop something that will bring more suffering.

Please, I am only one person, but I must try to stop a war that will undoubtedly tear asunder my beloved galaxy. So please, consider peace.

I am open to suggestions, so please, give me ideas. I will augment them, consolidate them, and produce a compromise that should give us a peaceful resolution.

Thank you.

Madam Fiona H. deLuna
Ambassador of the Kusari Naval Forces
