Return Adress: Felicia Sciotóg of the Tribe of Monaghan, Foreign Office, Elder Castle, Fortham, Free Lands of the Selkie.Friday, 28th of February, 2020.
Dear Mister Castro,
please allow me to, before anything else, wish Dian Cecht's blessings upon the people of the Confederation. In these trying times of COVID-19, we will stand with our friends, should you request it. We have taken measures ourselves and we hope, that we won't need them.
Now, onto business. Our Embassy in Cebu City has relayed a message of yours addressed to Mister Diallait, who forwarded it to me. I took the liberty of informing Vice-Admiral Curadh of the message as well and both her and I agree, that we'd be very honoured to work together with the Navy of the Confederation in this mission of safeguarding international trade.
The Commander on the scene from our side is Captain Galen Trodaí of the Tribe of Westmeath aboard SDFS Maighdean, Callsign Maiden. His force will soon be reinforced, NS Wembury is currently preparing a few ships. Depending on the rank of the person in charge from your side, we will hand over overall command to your side.
Let us hope, that even with the concentration of warships in these waters steadily on the rise, they will not be needed. I do not need to mention, that a destabilized Shikonjima would be a very, very bad thing, not only for the Shikonmanjese themselves.
With best regards,
Felicia Sciotóg of the Tribe of Monaghan,
Head of the Foreign Office of the Free Lands of the Selkie.
