My name is Arcelia Chavez, Guardiána of the Brotherhood and vocera of the Chavez Clan speaking. Lamentablemente, we have received troubling reports of FL-ER vessels engaging Corsair ships in Bretonian-claimed space while assisting those that Corsairs target in our frequent raids. The following material is only a part of the data that we received from the incident.

Now, I am told and I have seen myself that the FL-ER organización on the other hand is a useful partner in distributing artifacts and xeno relics to places we cannot access as easily as you can. The Chavez Clan and many others I've talked to agree that - en términos generales - your group is useful to the Corsairs.

That's why I am approaching you directamente with this: Make suggestions on how we can make sure that incidents like this one do not have negative effects on the cooperación between FL-ER and the Corsair Empire.

It is good to see that this situation can be talked about calmly. Sinceramente, I see your problem and I also see the positive sides of this special form of "neutrality" you are operating under. The Brotherhood sees the advantage of having your group work actively in the distribution of Corsair goods, and we value it higher than the avoidance of some risk, which our raiding forces have to be used to.

Therefore the deal is:

As long as you keep the Brotherhood convinced that you are more useful (by your distribution and supply operations) than troublesome (by your escort operations for our prey), we will instruct vessels of the Brotherhood to not push for confrontation unnecessarily. If it happens, it happens and we will not hold grudge against the FL-ER escorts who engage us in cases when our forces want to access resources by force. If conflict can be avoided by discreet messages, good.

Just make sure you stay useful, and we - the Brotherhood - are fine. What we can do is: we could make sure to send a transmission to all Corsairs that instruct them, that your transports - when carrying goods to and from Crete - are exempt from hostility. However, whether independent Corsairs or other clans accept this, we cannot guarantee.

There are many different clans in the Corsair Empire and it is not always easy to find common ground. The Brotherhood, from all I know, have not had a lot of contact with the Custodii, so it is always hard to say what their goals are, and what means they are putting to use to achieve them.

I have a question, though: Do they not respect you when you carry goods for the Corsairs towards Crete? Because they actually should respect that, as it is one of the rather commonly respected laws.

Honestamente, I think that it will likely be the best approach to just negotiate a deal (like we have it) with them, too. There is nothing better than having a deal you agreed on first and that you can rely on later on. The Brotherhood would only get involved and I would only feel like addressing the Custodii, when we see that your deliveries to Omircon Gamma are threatened, but I do not see this happening at the moment. ¡mucha suerte!
