Another week in the office, another week of training lost.
I will be taking my leave and hireing new overseers for my various businesses on Crete, such as the dig for new artifacts and the transformation of land, on Friday this week.
I will keep my promise and organise an attack on our enemies when I am finally free of this gueling pen-pushing that I am forced to do. I am extremely resentful that the AW now has to pay mercenaries of its own to make an impact, as I saw the UOG battleships in orbit from my modest villa on Crete. There were many meteorites last night, mostly Corsair metal...
Our two new brothers, Paco and Rodriquez, should be informed of the rules that we follow, and I assume Maniaco will explain all they need to know to them. We can't let them give us a bad name.

To high command of The Brotherhood and The Hellfire Leigon, this is Captain Malic Deberan of Black Squadron.
I received reports today saying that a battle between The TBH and HF happened in Minor today.
Note this, If I receive reports of this again both parties will be removed from Omicron Minor and status changed towards both factions.
Black Squadron does not want part in this war, do not bring it to our home.

Captain!
Please recheck your sources. I was fired upon in my Titan (Maniaco[TBH]) in Alaska when we were escorting our new recruit Nexus[TBH] with brother Costello. I ordered Costello to take care of Nexus and escort him to our home system and engaged the HF fighter ([HF]TankTarget) in order to defend myself. I took his shield down and destroyed half of his hull when he started running to Omicron Minor.
For some reason he didn't appear next to the jumphole, but far away from that, actually close to brothers Costello and Nexus. Safety of our recruits is our priority, so I ordered Costello to engage.
I would like to ensure you, that we (The Brotherhood) would never commit hostilities in Omicron Minor as you are our trustworthy friends.
Pedro Maniaco out.

Pedro, I am not pointing the finger on who started it... The problem is that it was started in the first place.
What I sent was a warning if it happened again, not a change of status.

Malic,
I would never deny you the right to protect yourself in Omicron Gamma, but to show you our utmost respect, I'll inform the rest of our brothers to try to avoid any hostilities in Minor at all costs, even if it would include running dishonorably to the next system instead of defending ourselves, which obviously is not that easy for a proud corsair.
Pedro Maniaco out.

Brothers, first of all, I'd like to welcome our newest brother Nexus. Me and brother Costello helped him with obtaining the right vessel, equipping it with correct loadout and fixing his reputation. He is now ready to fly with us.
On a less comfortable note, I must ask you to try to avoid any hostilities in Omicron Minor even if you were fired upon first. I have given Malic Deberan my word, so I hope I can rely on you all. We have a lot of work ahead, and they help us with protection from their direction. So we cannot afford to loose our mutual friendly status so we can concentrate on out main goals.
Pedro Maniaco out.

re: unprovoked attack
Today, at 13:03 GMT+1 one of your men, sir attacked and destroyed our storage ship - the constellation while she was on regular equipent - trading and exclusive weapon acquiring assignment. Upon appearing in omicron gamma, the ship's commander was asked about his purpose in the system, for which he replied as stated before by me.
Having checked all valuable wrecks in the area, upon request, Constellation moved to Crete, where she was questioned about its faction affiliation - IMG. Soon after replying, the TBH ships - Paco and Rodrigues opened fire and destroyed the freighter.
This is not only a violation of our agreement from July 1st, but also a violation of server rules, since Constellation was a storage ship, equipped with a neutral ID, not bearing an IMG tag and a camara - a freighter allowed by the ID.
Since Constellation was a storage ship, it had much equipment onboard, all listed throughly. As such, I demand either the return of the items listed below or an amount of currency, respective to this equipment's value.
9 debilitator turrets
4 vampire 2 turrets
5 adv CM droppers
5 nuclear mine launchers
10 Fury 5 guns
3 sunfrenzy 3 guns
8 advanced debilitator turrets
7 paralyzer missle launchers
2 cannonball missle launchers
3 disinfector 3 guns
1 train cruise disruptor
2 nomad blaters
18 nomad energy cannons

Elders of the Brotherhood, I was shipping Gold to Tripoli Shipyards today, and leaving Gamma with a load of Artifacts (for sale on New London), when one of your members, someone called 'Paco', informed me there was a 2 million "pass fee", for doing honest buisness with the corsairs! I trust you will educate your minions on the value of NOT attempting to steal from honest buisnessmen, carrying Corsair goods.
Koolmo,
Temporary Head Complaintsman of the TAZ,

So, these recruits Paco and Rodriquez are screwing everything up then are they? Well, it is my fault seeing that I recruited them I will take full responsibility. I think those two may have sold the equipment on your store, admiral, so when I am free of my buckling duties planetside, I will have them make the money themselves to pay you back.
Koolmo, I do realise our agreement, but I doubt they do. I will inform them when i get the chance, and give them a good hiding for their actions against the BSG and the TAZ.
Maniaco, if you see this transmission before I am free, please reprimand those two as you see fit. It's time they got their arses into the classroom and learn't how we do things around here.

ooc: I had no idea those two would be that much of a pain. Oh well, you get some, you lose some I suppose. It comes with being a swiftly expanding faction I guess.:(

To: entire TBH
It has come to my knowledge that some of your rogue member (or members) destroyed our storage ship with valuable equipment on board. And only two days after our agreement to join forces against common enemies. After talk with our high command we have decided as follows:
Although, your member(s) were new, they seemed highly undisciplined, and although we don't wish to interfere with TBH internal issues, we are considering whole TBH responsible for the attack. Junior members need to be under control of their superiors and if they aren't, it is command's fault. Thus, we are asking for full compensation of lost equipment. You have been given the list. Also, if you are unable to find some of code names, you are obligated to pay 500 000 credits per each lost code name weapon, and 50 000 per lost nomad weapon. Other equip will be compensated in their market value. Full amount of credits needs to be 10% higher then real worth of equipment. That 10% will be for our trouble of getting that stuff again. Entire compensation must be done with in next 72 hours from time of this message.
Also, we ask from you that both of your members that are under suspicion of attacking our storage ship, be degraded to lowest rank possible with in your fleet. We only ask that as sign of good faith and we will not press that issue if you deny that. How ever it will have reflection on our future relations.
