| Date | 17:40:36, October 10, 2007 CET | From | Parti de Garde Royales | To | Debating the Budget proposal of July 2468 |

| Message | Two of our diplomats, including one of our nation's founding fathers and the WDCA founder Ramiro Dull, were recently killed in Deltaria, by the Deltarian government. Deltaria is just south of the Western Settlement; how can you justify letting our guard down next to such an obviously belligerent power? Senator Jacques Xbalanque |
