This attacker will only try to draw us apart. Obliging him will only cause more destruction and discord to your people, regardless of your decision. We must face this danger together. We did have two of us here during the attack, Alondite and Missouri, who as you know, fought valiantly.

I can respect the valor of your men and I understand the potential negative effects of a war. That being said, if your people do not make an example I will personally take it as an act of war. It is worth noting that I am not in the position to declare war, so much as I am in the position to collect the...spoils, so to speak.
