Dear Free,
As you certainly know, our worst fears have come to be: The GLET is a fact, and both Gong and BABE have armies Stronger than ours. The ramifications are manifold and myriad.
GONG is also closing in on 100k cultural points. It is more and more apparent that military action will be needed to prevent their victory. This will require that both FREE and the Council support many military units. In order to help both of us cope with the coming expenses we'd like to discuss trading workers with you. Are you interested in swapping 20 to 30 of your workers for a like amount of ours?
-The Council
