Well.....
I suppose when you contact the rogues you get what you asked for. Personal grudges, any lack of respect for others or themselves to hold themselves to a higher standard. It truly is a pity when arguably the most bloodthirsty out of the bunch comes forward with words of reason.
As you have no doubt noticed there has been some... inner conflict within the rogues. While I was away for what actually happened and am not a fool enough to speak upon things I do not understand, I will say this. What happened here was entirely unnecessary and unprofessional to the highest degree, I'll make sure this is avoided in the future.
Now, away from the chaotic prying eyes of that convoluted and petty mess. I have some inquiries for you. One of your assassins contacted the rogues on the matter of what I can only assume to be Unioners being spotted in higher numbers than is usual in Texas. They mentioned a statistical analysis, one of our pack requested evidence and was responded to in a less than respectful manner to something so minuscule and simple it should have barely been of inconvenience. He is a man of facts just as I am, and if we are to contact the Union and make demands they stay off our turf, we would like to be armed with the evidence required so we're not throwing meaningless accusations to the wind.
I would like to request the base data used to conduct said statistical analysis now, being reluctant to share information with us is akin to attempts of deception. I may be a rogue, but I am no fool, I suggest you treat me with the mutual respect we are both owed as allies. I am known quite well for my exotic and extremely violent temper.
There is something else that disturbed me about that communication. The assassin used the words. "For obvious reasons you've been relayed first above all others in the region that will need to be consulted with as well."
As far as I am aware, There are no others in the region that need to be consulted about this decision. As we are your only allies in Liberty. So what exactly did they mean by "all others in the region."
That sounds like plenty more than just a simple slip of the tongue.
I look forward to your reply.

I see...
Now that you've provided me with this, I can give you my refined thoughts on your proposal to ban the Union from Texas.
So armed with this positively ancient evidence of them admitting to locking junkers away from their own turf, which they are entirely in their right to do. You want to ban them from Liberty entirely, which is in our right to do should we both come to an agreement. Here's the problem with that.
If you want to lock them out of Liberty, you must accept the possible consequences of the Union retaliating and locking the Lane Hackers out of Rheinland, which is entirely in their right to do as Rheinland is their turf, not yours, and not mine.
You say there's been an increase in their traffic within Texas. I took a little trip down to the border. You know what I saw? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Your claims are backed up by heavily out-dated and irrelevant information.
And so what if they come into Texas to pirate? The shipping convoys they intercept were either just crossing the border into our territory, or departing from Liberty into their territory. In which case, we missed our opportunity to plunder them. This simply isn't a problem.
Since you decided to forward this communication to my fellow partners in crime, i'll say this. They could see this communication the moment it was put up, You know. For the sake of transparency, something the Lane Hackers don't seem all that comfortable with.
This isn't our problem. Figure it out.

Superiority complexes bore me...
Don't you think if my "superiors" thought differently than myself, they would've taken the time to lick your boots already?
Since you didn't get the message. I'm simply going to cut this communication, my peers knew of this even before you forwarded a conversation they were already a part of. We may be allies, but we're not going to deal with your lack of respect, or your personal quarrels with another one of our allies.
Oh yes, something else. The next time your Inner Circle want to talk to the leader of an organization, they should send someone far more important than yourself.
Have a splendid day, goon.
