To Malkonkordo,

Perhaps I was unclear. I acknowledge that you are justified in seeking war with

the Starbloom. However, I am simply stating that a war over something as petty

as a misunderstanding would be deeply misunderstood. I have not heard much of

the Dekaoso, but you seem to be very honorbound, which is more than I can say

of most of the others I've met or read of.

I must ask for a clarification of what you mean regarding the

anarcho-communists of Hoffnung. They are not brave or honorable. Killing the

guards in battle would be preferable, however they have taken it upon

themselves to kill the guards in a way that brings no risk to themselves. With

no risk to themselves. I fail to see they are honorable in any way.

If you still wish to do battle with us (which I would not recommend), you won't

find us in Sol. We have flung ourselves far from its reach in an attempt to

find a planet that could possibly support habitable life given our lack of data

due to the circumstances in which we left Terra.

(I'm still not happy you assume everybody else's maps are inferior. While ours

most certainly are, we were rushed in our departure from our planet Terra,

which we hold dear.)
