...!Greetings to our Colonial allies.
We're sure that you've heard the news from whatever sources you may have inside Kusari. Gallia is officially launching an invasion of the Tau systems. Couple this with the fact that they're already actively attacking Colonial forces in Tau-23 and the Orkney system, where the ICMG's home of Dounby is located, and it's painfully obvious that we are unable to stand by idly.
The Board of Directors has come to the conclusion that we must stand by our allies in the Colonial Republic, though we are unsure whether open conflict is the most prudent solution. This channel was opened in the hopes of discussing what possible actions we can take, and for you to inform us how we can best help you.
We are open to all suggestions as to how best protect the security and prosperity of our two peoples in the troublesome times that are surely ahead.

The plan's been laid down months ago and the best we can do is to stick to it. If attacked directly, defend yourselves. I'll help. If however nobody goes after you directly, you're better-off living to fight another day.
...!An attack on our allies is an attack on us. If the Colonial Republic is attacked, then the ICMG's next. As always, the ICMG will return the favor if it is required.
