South Alliance to KNF

[OsoRojo]

Admiral! I beg of you, please, reconsider your stance and allow me a moment to speak on our behalf! All shall be cleared up within a moment of time, should you be mollified enough to listen! Your wounds are grievous, yes, but give me a minute of your time to hopefully explain what has occurred.

May I first begin with information regarding the ban on what you referred to as 'heavies'? A misunderstanding, spawning from my ban of non-KNF battleships within Honshu. We welcome gunboats of the Southern Alliance, and the occasional cruiser, into Kusari territory. However, battleships are not welcome; do not take this personally! I simply cannot have a mutiny occur by, what would you call it... bigots? Yes, let us say that a bigot was a lieutenant aboard a battleship entered Kusari space. This man then decides that the captain should not be aiding the Kusarians, and instead mutinies, killing the captain and first mate. He turns the weapons onto the Kusari forces, and then...

This is not an attack on anyone's forces, nor their personnel. It is a fear that I will not tolerate. If you believe it to be a personal attack, then I cannot help you.

Second, if you will allow my plea to continue, the Kusari State Police are outside of our command. They are within their own sphere of influence, and we are within ours. For the actions of our brethren to afflict our own relations is, in my opinion, preposterous. I hope you will reconsider.

Greetings,

Though I wish it was of a better nature.

My stance is one of offense and not one of policy. For I am a soldier and do not dictate policy, though I must enforce it and suffer it.

My offense is doubled if you truly believe those of the South Alliance would fall to such a temptation of bigotry and mutiny. For years the South Alliance has stood within the VOID fighting those who would extinguish the light bathing our worlds for naught, but the ideal that all life is precious.

As for the policeman, I hold no ill-will towards him for he is just enforcing policy others have placed upon him. I truly admire him for his courage in confronting the RedBear for it shows character and true loyalty.

Overall, I am disturbed by how our relations have floundered. On many occassions Governor OsoRojo has been jubilant on the progress that has been achieved, but almost at every turn it is then stalled. Talks with Admiral Nadir creates an exchange program for improved relations and is revoked, and how is the news relayed? A KNF Captain informs the SA Commodore he must sit in Colorado. No official notice is given. No messages from officials is received at Richmond. Governor OsoRojo has yet to receive a response to correspondence on this very subject sent days ago to Admiral Nadir.

You ask for patience and understanding. How much must one give?
