Nah, screw it. I have better things to do. The only ones dealing with these jokers are going to be mercenaries and at least I do not have to pay for it from my pocket.
Yeah, that little tribute of respect? You just paid to get yourself shot, boys. Have fun.
You're one hell of an impatient bastard, are you?/color]
*Gets a serious look on his face*
We have our own deals, our own bussines flowing too, my rogue fellah. We are indeed busy lately, as we're still gathering more and more Pirates into our Union.
If we may have caused you trouble in "waiting" and if it pissed you off, oh well, I wonder if I should apologize about it.
But let's not get cocky in here, will we?
As I said, our reason of not replying was simply because of other matters, we didn't leave your messages out.
However. As the majority of my Union still has trouble in deciding wheter or not we should wave the Rogue flag, or continue with our own is taking time. You have to give us time.
*Points at LR-Bank.Of.Dank Account*
I'm sure that this much with the promise of coming more should've already kept you busy. But it's up to you if you realy wanna waste this oppurtunity. I will reply shortly about the outcome of our voting, until then, be patient, will ya?
There we have, the various Pirate representatives have spoken and the message has been delivered to me, the Headmaster.
*Several votings are beeing displayed on the Screen*
Even though your offer was indeed generous... Not to mention, for my taste, it was the best to make the lifes of our Mercs easier. One part agreed but the Majority was fairly against it.
Do not misunderstand this with hostility or something, but you have to know, the Pirate Reapers consists of various Groups: Smugglers, Slavers, Pirates and Mercs.
Arrrr... I can't just tell "Screw off, we will go for the Rogues offer" ye'see?
*Opens a secure channel*
So how are we going to do this, Mort? Let us just fight alongside, for the greater good and continue our own objectives. Trust me, we will have a "fun" time. If you understood what I meant with this I'll prepare a bunch of Smugglers and Pirates inside Liberty on your behalf, so we can start talking about bussines and stop wasting our times.
If you insist, we of course wont be using your Ships. Which also wont hold me back to rip the ship off Delusional Wolf. Awaiting your "golden" Answer.
So this would usually be the point where I say that everything is fine and that it is your choice, while I quietly add you to the extermination list, but I think that this would really be a waste of firepower.
I had one of my boys say a couple of good things about your group, so you have already elevated yourself in my eyes, so here's my offer.
Mort holds up a small neural net chip, before inserting it into the console unit next to him.
Right, so.
Instead of your group winding up on this particular page as targets, I offer you to be the ones claiming them. You will see that your name and ID-Signature has been added to one of the particular entries. Go and have fun.
Do this and your Delusional Wolf can keep his vessel where it is and how it is. Do this very well and you might get more of those.
Still, I would like to request that you prepare a small description of your current standings with non-libertonian groups of the unlawful sort. As you might have guessed, we have quite a few friends, both obvious and not very much so, so getting transmissions about them being shot by one of ''ours'' would be rather problematic.
Well well, this now looks interesting, especially for me. About the various groups, well.
*A Reputation sheet is beeing displayed*
Well, as you may have noticed, our Slavers indeed gain their profits via the Maltese Nation and the Cretan Empire. Though the Corsairs have shown us more valuable in Smuggling, however. That's all so far, talking of which "revolutionaries", we are not interested in any kind of Revolution. We're just interested in the bussines and a place outside the Law, thus anything like the Bundschuh, Hessians and such Revolutionaries are out of our interest. These are the current ones we felt comfortable thus far, including the Rogues. Anything else, we haven't bothered. But oh hey, who can't forget about the Filthy Junkers, aye?
So yeah, appearantly.
We don't like Junkers, Junkers don't like us. You may ask "why Junkers?", we need true forces that we can trust and currently, the Junkers didn't seem worthy enough. Even our biggest fool Terrance made fun out of their Convoy and their so called "We are Junkers, why you attack?". I don't like it. We don't like it. Though, thus far our forces always demanded for "Cash for a good cause"
*Meaningful Face expression can be notified*
Well anyway. The Junkers still can be useful, if they prove themselfs useful. It seems that pirating Junkers have brought us a great income, because of their simple stupid, nervous and fast decisions. You jump on one Convoy, they'll try to hunt you forever, funny guys, realy. Now now, we don't want to make you angry, right? We leave the Junkers "fate" into your hands.
Let me tell you this, I like having people's fates in my hands. As far as Junkers go, I could not give less of a shekel, they can die in a fire for all I care. With some notable exceptions.
Marauders and Congress.
Those two you do not touch. My boys happen to enjoy their bounty boards and they pay very well. Would be a darn shame if you ended up there for some reason or another, it would take my own efforts to keep them off of you.
Anyway, been hearing some drama around your group again. What exactly is going on with your boys over there?
As you've guessed, of course, without mutual respect we wont accomplish anything.
*Shows a Reputation List of the Pirate Reapers*
First of, the Slavers I've mentioned in our Quarters. With this, I request that you leave your hands off the Slaver Union [SU], unless of course it's a friendly approach. No, requesting "financial support" and shooting them if they do not comply is not a friendly approach.
If this and our own Slavers and Smugglers, aswell as the Slaver's Union ones, are beeing left in peace we wont have any trouble in shooting some Junkers less, well as you said Marauders and Congress. Noted. But the independant ones wont be spared Harr.
About my Lads, don't bother, they are keeping the Piracy flowing, even with risks it's important. I will check on them, what is exactly the "Drama" you mentioned?
Mort raises an eyebrow, his expression changing to that of a rather unamused person within moments.
"If?"
Listen up. I am not bartering with you. I am telling you not to be a dumbass and not piss off a group which can put a billion credit bounty on your face. If they do decide to put a twenty million per-pop bounty on your boys, I will need to grow an extra pair of hands to keep on the leash so that my own boys do not go after you.
That or pay them off not to attack you, which is not happening. I have better things to use my funds on.
As for the Slavers Union. Your boys are safe, but I cannot say the same for the SU. My bud Peters is the smuggling guy of the Rogues, so if he decides to wipe them out due to them buying our indentured servants from Junker bases instead of ours, I am not going to stop him.
That and they have yet to get a transmission to us, as far as I know. Perhaps they should do that.
