Turn sent.

Let the people of the Empire rejoice for the hour of righteousness is upon us!  Under the prophets banner the ships of Li Halan travel towards Stigmatia.  Having been gifted with the most holy Signet of the prophet himself we can not sit idle and ignore the call.  We march for battle with the will of the Pancreator in our hearts.  Let the righteous of the galaxy flock to our banner to join this most holy of quests and let the prayers of the faithful guide us into battle!

Our honorable and wise regent from Hawkwood says that there is some freighter of special importance that Decados needs to transport through Li Halan space.  The details of the matter are not entirely clear to us but we will trust the wisdom of the regent on this matter.

We are truly blessed to have such a fine and honorable regent, with diplomatic measure second to none. The Decados are happy to be able to send this lost freighter to where it is needed without sparking galactic war.

Turn sent.

Still waiting for an explanation from Keboo about what was so damn important.

That is between the regent and I, of course. If he wishes to divulge those details he may at his leisure, but I certainly do not intend to freely disseminate that intel.

You expect me to let you pass and wont even explain what the hell it is you are carrying?  Sorry, but that ain't happening.  Tell me, turn back or face destruction.  I'm letting you pass because I've been told this is some special trip, just a one time thing.  Well what's so damn important?

It amuses us to no end to see Lord mainiac, the Admiral of the Fleet, act like a ten year old child.

I'm acting like a ten year old child?  There was one thing, one thing in the entire galaxy I said he couldn't have.  What does he immediately turn around and demand?  I want a good reason.

Oh, quirky Li Halan!

That you feel the need to excercise your power over Decados out of pure spite and in the absence of any political gain is already unbecoming of a great statesman, the head of a Noble House.
But your announcement of compliance with our Gracious Regent's order only to rescind that decision and manufacture ad hoc conditions once the Decados Freighter is on the last leg of its voyage through your space, is what I find infantile.
Finaly, the nature of the condition is so ridiculously silly in its redundancy, that it appears to have been created only to empower your ego by having Lady Gorakhan bow down to your pointless demand.
Are you perhaps planning on playing cat-and-mouse with that freighter? To allow it to pass only to order the crew to turn back at a gun point, and then change your mind again - and so ad infinitum?

I had been willing to stand by your right to demand at least a declaration of intent from the passing ships, perhaps even a modest compensation from the other party, hoping that it would lead to a lasting, peaceful agreement between you two.
Then the Regent spoke, and you seemed to listen, at which point the dispute should have died quietly, giving way to calm and reasoned discussion about future relations between the parties concerned.
Now I see you as, to use commoner's language, a butthurt bully whose word is worth less than the air it is carried by.
You're showing yourself to be an increasingly volatile presence in the region, and as such I deem you unfit to command the Fleet.

Frankly, I'd like to slap you in the face for acting so childish, but then I'd have to negotiate passage through Hawkwood space, and Lord Aqizzar is way to wise to allow that.

What a load of tripe.  Again we see the same pattern.  Decados demands, I give in and then I'm called a bully.

Why can decados not simply reveal what this all important cargo is?  It costs him nothing.

Cargo? There is no cargo.

The Decados have made no demands. The regent can attest to this. We discussed with him our need and he, as a benevolent and diplomatic regent, found what appeared to be a solution. There is no cargo in the freighter; its purpose is not related to Li Halan space. By its very nature it can do no harm, and should it even land on the surface it would likely be destroyed due to its extremely low health. So given that the nature of its journey does not concern anything related to Li Halan space, and they agreed to the regent's request, why do they insist on knowing what dire need requires this shorter travel? Should I also transmit to the Li Halan all of my military formations and maps? Would this then appease them? The freighter has already been sent into Li Halan space this year, with no cargo. And should it be shot down there will be dire ramifications. You did not agree to my request, you agreed to the regent's. Would you rescind that openly?

If there is no cargo then why didn't you send the cargo through Hawkwood space?  I explicitly told you not to send this freighter the first time.  I was sent what I thought was a new request and told to respond quickly because you needed to complete the turn.  I was not told that this was you just wanting what I had already said no to.  I'm sorry but my original policy stands, if this is nothing but an empty freighter then you should have listened to my in no way unclear words.

Don't like it?  Tough, you shouldn't have asked me to make a snap judgement off incomplete information through an indirect back channel.  You sowed this confusion so it's your own harvest you reap.

The Li Halan policy has been clearly laid out that Decados ships are not allowed to pass through Li Halan space.  We were willing to lift this policy for a matter of great importance.  But this isn't a matter of great importance.  This is Decados seeing something they can't have and wanting it still.

The matter of great importance is preventing the Empire from erupting in a civil war. I thought that was obvious, even to you.
