*a note from Cobalt* [i]Dear Mr. Grub and associates. I understand the issue with our nations and others. I do not ask for an alliance or even a peace treaty (for the moment), but I at least request a promised standby. We are still discussing the matters ourselves, but we do promise a temporary sanctuary amidst these politics and to prevent any battles in the near future. Perhaps we should counsel about these matters sometime elsewhere, where our forces are not constantly seething and prepared to fight. Nonetheless, a temporary peace treaty should be in order if we are to parley. Thank you for your time. -Cobalt Phoenix, Lieutenant and representative of the Dojo for the time being. [/i]
