I speak only as a Margrave of the Crown, ambassador, and offer my opinion only. I await the decision of the Grand Marshall and will abide her word and action only. Regardless, I tell you now that there is no common ground between us and the Council. First of all, you are asking us to reach an agreement with rebels and traitors, vermin who have backstabbed and betrayed friends, family, and country in order to fulfill personal greed and achieve selfish power. How do you even suggest we trust them? How do you suggest I trust pilots who have slayed innocent civilians and shown no regard for human life? The notion would be hilarious if it wasn't so disturbing.
Secondly, you are asking us to trust you, ambassador... and to be quite frank, I trust you even less than the Council. At least I know the true colors of the traitors. Your "research project" could very well be a forward outpost for a military invasion, a mobilization by the rest of the Sirius Sector to try to finish what they tried and failed to do centuries ago when your people sabotaged our sleeper ship. Your kind has shown nothing but disrespect for Gallia, using and abusing the King's space as your own personal exploration agenda and openly consorting with the Council. No, ambassador... in my opinion, there can be no agreement here. Orders stand to shoot down any hostile vessel in the kingdom, and seeing as how all Sirian ships could be possible spies or invaders, those orders will not change.
I await only the word of the Grand Marshall to consider this "diplomatic channel" to be closed.
