Messieur,

Je suis d?sol?, but do you realy think I will risk a squadron of my men like that? For all I know, this could be a trap. A filthy setup. If we move into Sirius, it will be En Masse. We will come guns blazing and cannons roaring. No less, and no else.

However, if you still wish to see the full might and glory of our forces, you are free to agree to the before mentioned conditions and move your vessel into our space. So long as you abide by our law and decree, ofcourse.

Also, Ambassador, keep in mind that a ship the size of yours will not be hard to find. Meaning? Well. It essentialy gives you two choices. You can either use the full support of Gallic troops, scientists and resources to conduct your research as mentioned before, or you can risk the capture or possible destruction of your ship should you choose...the wrong side. Who knows? Perhaps they would see fit to capture your ship, discard the crew and research and use it for resources. The Council isn't doing very well lately, Ambassador.

Make a desiscion, Tinkerbell. Either with us or against us. There will always be room for negotiation, but non for ideas such as your previous one. I'll hear what you have to say in the morning.

Bonne nuit,
LaCroix.
