Good day to the Morganites.
"First, I need to answer Colonel Maniac's question as to why we didn't just disband the Hunter after we captured. Although it costs us support and drone control problems, we felt that destroying the Hunter would be wasteful and not be beneficial to either Sparta or Morgan. Plus, we thought it would be an insult to destroy such a fine ship. We thought that it would an insult that Sparta would have a hard time forviging."
This sentiment is appreciated. The fact that you have not destroyed our property, merely illegally seized it, doesn't do much to soften up the act, however.
"I propose that until such time (when and if) control of the Hunter returns to Sparta that Morgan support the vessel (and deal with the related drone issues without complaint (okay without too much complaint). Because of the suspension of trade during the past difficulties I propose that we extend the length of our agreements by a length equal to the suspension of agreements so that we ensure Sparta receives the the amount we agreed to (i.e. we are ready to restart the cash flow)."
We have received this same rhetoric from you over and over again, but you have yet to make a proposal to us that wouldn't make the Junta roll its collective eyes. Even suggesting that the control of the Hunter *might* be returned to Sparta some day in the future is rather callous. We must insist on the return of the Hunter to the Federation naval forces posthaste, or that suitable reparations are made in turn (mainly, energy credits).
Before we go as far as to continue actual trade relations (not that we don't mind the energy credits either), we seriously need to discuss this matter of recompensation, before anything formal can be achieved. The Junta feels that Morgan Industries has failed so far to show enough trustworthiness or integrity to warrant signing papers well before the very ink on them has dried.
I am also told by our chief of naval intelligence that surmising from your communications with us during these negotiations, it is clear that the Gator has indeed been within our de facto territory after the declaration of the Modo Doctrine. This transgression in itself would probably warrant a different set of negotiations for reparations and the like, but in the interest of good continued relations with the Corporation the Junta is willing to let it slide this once.
We are eagerly waiting for a proper suggestion from the Corporation as to what sort of recompensation the Corporation is willing to part ways with in the interest of ending this needless vendetta. The lack of trade is hurting us as much as it's hurting you, trust me. Even more so now when the Human Hive has decided to wage an aggressive vendetta against us, as your intel has probably let you already know.
