I will attempt to remain diplomatic but let me remind messieur of a few pertinent facts.
I am no member of the Monarchy or beholden to the Council. I have ties outside of Gallia that are quite extensive and do not necessitate an agreement with you or anyone else.
The Nomads do not need me as a "forward base" nor have they ever used anyone in such a way--they take what they want. Part of the research I share will be the means to detect fully an "infected host" so there will be no doubt as to who is trustworthy or who is not.
My offer is to insure Gallia is as equipped as possible for a potential Nomad threat--that its citizen's not be left helpless or unprepared. I care little for the politics of the Realm--only for its safety and primarily the safety of the Junker citizens within it.
I will work with the willing. Those who are not willing need not participate and then I will go to those who will. Make your choices messieur but make them for pragmatic and practical reasons and from personal motives.
With or without your inolvement I am able to continue. My offer is more for your benefit--not my own.
