Message In A Bottle

[Kith Inorom Ghemor 0]

Mr Drankum, now that our governments have sounded their trumpets and made a good show of things perhaps we can get down to the issues at hand. A sizable fleet of Federation ships is approaching our boarders and, for once... awaiting our clearance to enter. They can be properly delayed as needed, if we can be made aware that they are not needed for the protection of Cardassian interests.

 

While we may or may not have found faults in the Federations approach to the treaty, Cardassia was getting what it wanted with the removal of Starfleet from our system. We have never stated that they had to take the station with them though on this point we don't have much real concern either way. If we knew the true goals of the Ferengi fleet we could find flexibility in our current stance. Much flexibility.

 

I desire to engage in negotiations in secret before any official meetings with all parties involved. I think we can both agree that knowing how far we each are willing to go to achieve our ultimate goals would be beneficial. An alliance at this time could be most profitable to your interests... if we can be made to see the value in it as well.

 

Kith Ghemor.
