[b]A response to Sazkarjhia[/b] It is that I do apologize for the actions of the Captain that day. He was only operating on standard diplomatic code, and he was a griffon, and they tend to be a bit more stubborn. However I cannot allow you to search our space. It has been Equestria's policy to refuse to cooperate with those who would threaten us upon attempting to contact us or harm our ships in anyway if they wishes something of us. Your fleet conducted both of these, first attempting to disable our ships, and then threatening violence if they were not allowed in. Under normal circumstances if you had asked first and proceeded forward more diplomatically then we would have allowed you, but Equestria must protect her foreign policy. We have identified the major Sylve base in the region, and if you want to cooperate with us to raid it then you may come but any Syvle personnel are to be handed to us first, for interrogation then trial. Sincerely, Princess Celestia.
