"Sir, it's a message from one of the Equestrian patrols." a woman in Sazkarjhit dress military form said as she strode to Supreme Fleetmaster Magama'yum, holding a small projector showing the face of a female Fleetmaster.

"What is it, Fleetmaster?" he asked.

"It's the Equestrians, Sir. We're currently facing off from them in their space and are not permitting us to conduct any kind of mission for locating Sylve, let alone providing information. They have raised arms at us and we have followed suit. As this was delegated straight from you, I wanted to speak with you personally, as I believe that the slightest twitch could turn this standoff into a bloodbath."

"I see...patch me through to them. If a higher and more well-known figure can speak with them, perhaps they can understand better."

"Aye, sir..." there was a pause. "O~kay, you are now online with the ships, they can hear you loud and clear, Sir."

"All right."

"Attention, Equestrian interceptors! This is Supreme Fleetmaster Daraya Magama'yum, leader of the Sazkarjhia Center for Naval Operations and Space Exploration. I understand that you are barring system access from my sailors, and I must ask that you allow them through. Sazkarjhit does not wish to inflict harm onto the Equestrian Empire--if anything, we want to help you. I want you to understand how integral it is that my men can obtain personnel, manifest and any useful information on Sylve. Please consider the following if you are not convinced:

"If a massive group of Equestrian pirates was terrorizing and pillaging every system simultaneously, and there was one kingpin leading the whole thing, you'd want to eliminate that leader, correct? Even if that means you must trespass through other empires' space as the most useful information can be there. Now if you were in our shoes, believe me when I say that Sazkarjhia would have no problem with letting you pass through and get information from us. As we have not in a long time wrongly tread on you, we try not to view you as a threat to the welfare of the Sazkarjhit people. So, I beg that you allow my men to scout around, even if watched, or if you can provide them with what we need. We...we don't need to start a war over something like trying to find pirates."
