Didn't you realise that murder and theft is more profitable than ideals and causes to these people? Don't try to reason with them as if they're decent, honest human beings. They're pirates, outlaws and butchers to a man. They may have fought for independence once, but that day is long past. In modern climes they'd far rather line their pockets, riding a tidal surge of the honest man's blood.

If you claim to respect their cause, they'll merely use it as a pretext to get you within antimatter range. If you see one, treat him with the manners they are due: none. Activate your engines and inform the Armed Forces. They are worth no more than that. If you claim to sympathise or respect these monsters, you are merely emboldening terrorists. Can you have that on your conscience?

Well, it so happened that my own ship, the Leeson, and my comrade-in-arms the Sheridan happened across this quivering pile of filth during a cargo run from Newcastle to Southampton Shipyard. He was probably slavering at the prospect of murdering another two cargo-ships full of passengers, before he was hit square between the eyes with the full force of the Clydesdale Brigade!

Let it be said that in Bretonia, crime does not pay. If you make your living drawing the blood of Bretonian citizens, like a parasite... We will find you. I will find you. And when that happens, I promise you, you will not enjoy the consequences your actions have generated. Let it never be said that Borderworld Exports is not a public institution.
