Order-Liberty Negotiations

[Tenacity]

<Opening File: Report on Negotiations, Commander Kaylee Staite>



-Begin Report-

"At 2200 Hours today, September 4th, 817 A.S., the Carrier Bastet along with Order escorts crossed paths with a Liberty Assault Battlecruiser by the designation LNX_ThunderBay. While myself and my crew immediately took a defensive stance, expecting attack, the commanding officer of the Thunderbay - Admiral Porter - expressed her intent as a diplomatic envoy striving to improve relations between The Order and the Liberty Navy."

"Under heavy escort, the Thunderbay and Bastet proceeded to Freeport 11, working in cooperation to fend off a Nomad assault against the station, and after a conference room was established onboard the Freeport our negotiations started."

"While I do not have the authority of the High Command, I am a trained diplomat and strategist within The Order's ranks, and until such time as the members of the High Command can arrive at the Freeport in order to participate in these negotiations, it is my duty to oversee peace talks between our two organizations."

<Location: Freeport 11, Conference Room 7B>

Kaylee Staite sat down at the conference table, with numerous other Order Officers from her own ship as well as those of her escorts taking seats to her left and right. Across the table sat Admiral Jessica Porter, commander of the LNX Thunderbay.

Kaylee took the initiative to set the floor for the diplomatic talks, "Admiral Porter, I must say I'm surprised the Navy is initiating diplomacy here, and now. The Order has been attempting to gain the support of the Houses for two decades now, to ill effect. Constantly we're perceived as terrorists, when our only true goal is to protect the people of Sirius, no matter which organizations they may belong to. Politically, it is a relief to hear that we may soon have more allies in the war against the Nomads, Wild, and other alien groups that threaten Sirius."

She leaned forward in her chair, "As you initiated contact for these talks, Ms. Porter, I'll let you begin."
