Tio responded with a single text message:
I resent the words in the above message,
The United Outer Colonies is building defense and peacekeeping forces to ensure the safety of our citizens as defined in the Peacekeeping Charter. We are a neutral nation with the intent of protecting our sovereignty. We do not fear Yamatai, nor are we jelous.
I congratulated Himiko on bringing democracy to the Yamatai Star Empire and I hold to that fact.
The UOC government is working with the Lorath in a way to end slavery over a gradual period of time that does not require turning their planet upside down. Political action takes time.
As I stated prior, I wanted to end this back and forth. The United Outer Colonies plans to open diplomatic relations with Yamatai in the future to create a relationship of mutual benefit.
The only thing I mocked was the policies to draw UOCPF personnel back to Yamatai. Those who wanted to go back to Yamatai left a long time ago.
