Greetings to the President of the Colonies, the Prime Minister, and the Admiral of the fleet.

We recently picked up the following transmission.

I must say it is disturbing, some of the terms. I bring the following to your attention:

The Colonial Republic shall allow Kusari State Police and Naval Forces patrols to extend their area of operation to Tau-23 system.

You do NOT have the authority to give this right to the Kusari government. You do not even have a base in the system! I ask that you retract this from your treaty, and give them access to a system you do own, that would be preferred.

1.3
The Colonial Republic hereby pledges to fight alongside the House of Kusari in it's conflict with the House of Bretonia and to assist Kusari vessels where required in the Taus, Kusari and Bretonia Space.

I would like to express how disappointed I am with this. We in the Tau's have always avoided conflict because we have enough enemies, and do not wish for war. This single act could turn our mining area into a war zone.

I'm sure you have thought this through very deeply, but I still am both disappointed and slightly upset.

I ask you to ask your pilots to read our Edict to make sure you do not break our rules.

Good day Colonials, keep your blades sharp and your weapons cocked, it seems you have enough enemies now to warrant it.
