Salutations;

To be completely honest I was unaware of this discussion and the activities preceding it. I have recently returned to Liberty after some... unfortunate turns of events around Kusari required my undivided attention.

For Sanctuary on a Junkers base we agreed not to stop Cardamine convoys, but that is as far as we will go.

This exerpt I find particularly disturbing. Not only at the notion that rogue Rheinland vessels are endangering Junkers through directly involving us in this war, but these terms were agreed to in the first place. No one saw fit to inform me about this deal; I could care less about the well-being of cardamine smugglers. Smugglers who have falsified a Junker transponder as a means of flitting about incognito deserve whatever they get; we are tired of the prejudice and presumption that results from their actions. Smugglers who have not falsified a Junker IFF simply place themselves in grave danger by being around us.

If we see this vessel we will correct him on his misconception, and inform him that his endangering us will be repaid in turn should he continue to nurse this incorrect notion of hospitality. I am also going to find who authorized his stay and see that he is treated as one who endangers his own and betrays the house he stays in.

This is not our war.

- Bishop
