Estimado Señor Ladron,

It would be a disrespect to myself to deny that we are indeed besieging the base of those worthless junkers in Omega 55. The reason for this is simple - they refused our kind offer of cooperation, so they reap the consequences. The offer was rather simple and even provided two options for cooperation. The fact that i demanded them to enter into a more official deal is due to a valid cause, I assure you. Junkers work with all kind of people, including our adversaries. Simply buying artefacts would suffice to fill our pockets, si, but they also reap the benefits of such trade. And their profits exceed our meagre earning from supplying them with the artefacts by a lot. It is just fair in our opinion to share a bit with us, our tax was not unreasonable. However, the money they earn can also be used against us. This is why we offered them patronage in the form of loose vassalisation: we exempt them from taxes and offer them protection if they favour the Corsairs over other factions in doing their business. Fair, no?

Well, they decided not to listen to the voice of reason and succumb to their pride instead, offending me y mis conquistadores. That is not bien. Us being merciful, we gave them more time to think. It fell on deaf ears, so we commenced what we do best - shoot. Their vessels got taxed not because our policy is to tax every transport carrying artefacts - that is certainly not true. We taxed them because we entered into hostilities with them. Plata o plomo, si o no?

So now, estimado Señor Ladron, it is up to you how to construe this situation. What we are doing benefits Crete in the long run: we eschew some meagre profits from small faction in attempt to get more reliable long-term partners, and to establish respect towards the Corsairs. Their station was defended, whether intentionally or not, by the forces of Rheinland Militay, the Core, and even Hessians. While the latter's offence was probably just a coincidence, the first two might be working with the junkers, and I would not be surprised about it given potentially habitable Rugen nearby. Think about it when choosing between protecting junkers-whores ready to sell out to the highest bidder, or your hermanos y hermanas who spill blood for Crete.

In addition, we want Skagen, badly. It has a lot of liveable space, and even more artefacts. We need to show brute force and readiness to fight anything in Omega 55 to deliver the message of our determination. If we take Skagen, many people of Crete would be able to get la casa granda of their own. And the surplus of artefacts from Skagen will drive even more parties ready to work with us, much more important than these pathetic junkies.

As for the summons regarding Barcelona - we have not heard about it. Since our business with FPT is almost finished, I would be pleased to re-direct our fleets to wherever it is necessary after teaching these junkers a lesson. But first, please do share what is the location and the target of Barcelona.

Señor Ladron,

Yo y mis hermanos shooting down enemies - nobody bets an eye. I go to my villa to relax from all current affairs - everyone goes nuts.

Mi armada has standing orders to monitor activity in Sigma 17. So far the activity of any potential hostiles has been minimal. You want them to report to Barcelona - fine, I will convey to them to reach Barcelona and do scouting from there.

As for Señor Bestro - I have no interests hiding him, for I have no idea who that is. Probably another walking corpse, given that you want his head. If we come across one - I will get him for you and wrap in a nice present.

Now, if you excuse me, I want to spend some time in my villa with some chickas bonitas, if you know what I mean. Los hombres know their art and will shoot who is needed to be shot in Sigma 17 or wherever, so don't you worry about that. Hopefully, this clears current situation out.
