My Esteemed Grand Marshall,
I again give thanks for your gracious offer and will consult with my allies on the practicality and wisdom of it.
I must admit I am ashamed to ask in this manner but am I clear to understand you fear a Junker ambush? No need to fear us mon ami, we know our place but it is pleasing to hear we seem to have risen to such stature in your eyes. We of course defend our own zealously and without fear but I was unaware that Junker exploits had reached the ear of the Crown. Merci' for the compliment! I am sure all Junkers hearing this communication will take pride in the acknowledgment that their efforts on behalf of the Crown in Sirius have gained them such esteem within the Monarchy.
I will contact you after deliberations are held here and we reach a decision.
