Hola, Senor Gutierrez,
I do hope that this transmission finds you well. I will be honest, I am not sure where to begin as my reason for calling upon you is well, unique. An old amigo of yours has reached out to me for some help. Apparently, he seeks my diplomatic skills. Seeing as that I respect you both, I figure that it is the least that I can do.
It seems that Elder Juanez Buonocore wishes to rejoin the Brotherhood. I do not know why he went on hiatus nor is it my concern but he sounded pretty genuine when he explained things to me. From what I can gather, he just needed time away. I guess I can understand that. His reasons are his. I know that I have disappeared for months just to clear my head. He mentioned something to me about "encroaching enemies" and felt it necessary to disappear. Again, I know little beyond that.
I do not know the inter workings of the Corsair Empire, how say, the Deterrence, the Brotherhood and the Sails all work together or even how they settle difference between them. That is not my place. I do know this, I respect the empire and am not alone in that thought. For now, it is you, Senor, that I wish to have a meeting with, you, Senor Buonocore and myself in a neutral and secure location. That is something that I can provide.
Senor Buonocore seeks to work WITH you, even beside you and has asked about the following things:
-A seat on the Council. Again, I do not pretend to know the inner workings of the Corsairs but this is something he wishes to discuss.
-Absolution and Restoration. He wishes to have any crimes against him absolved and his reputation restored.
-Recognition of his role as Pontifex Maximus. I do not know what this is but he seeks acknowledgement in this.
-Control of Battlegroup Magreb. He admits the tragic loss of Gran Canaria. This is pain that even we in the Zoner community feel as we lived peacefully with the Corsair people on that planet only to have Bretonia take it from us all. He feels that there is much work to do in the Omegas and wishes to continue with it.
He is also worried about Villa Sephardi Estate. He never wants to see it fall. I share in this sentiment as Miguel Sephardi was a dear friend and someone that I respect to this day.
I prefer to see the bigger picture. The Brotherhood, while still respected, was once as feared as it was respected even to its enemies. I am not saying that it is weak, I am saying that it can be better.
Senore Gutierrez, I seek a conference with you, Senor Buonocore and myself. I feel you two have much to discuss and much to offer each other. I am willing to host it in a secure, private location. Med Force One has such a place, a conference room, my personal security detail and the ship itself is cloaked. I am willing to host it there.
Senor, do give this some thought and I look forward to hearing from you.

Buenos Dias, senor Holiday!
It has been some time since we had a pleasure of meeting and talking. Likewise, I do hope life has blessed you with better moments than it did during early parts of this year. I was left mildly impatient and curious when I saw your comm ID appear on my Neural Net, but never would I have guessed the reason why you are contacting me on my personal frequency.
So, that old culo Buonocore is still alive... *he interrupts his talk with a short pause looking slightly infuriated*...and he has some nerve appearing with a full list of his requests after he vanished without a trace! It might seem he has an idea he can just return like nothing happened, muy bien, I will bite. I do want to hear his story and reasons. I know that hombre well...he's not el stupido and he chose you to rely this message to me for a reason. He's always been a cunning diplomat and played his moves smart, so I am very curious what exactly made the old fart reach out to me and Imperio one more time, because I am positive this hombre is not telling the entire story yet and I do intend to find out the full truth.
However, I want to forward you a warning, senor Holiday. I am sure you know it, but you took quite a risk by getting yourself involved with former elder Buonocore. He is a highly wanted hombre and not many will take it kindly. I hope you can be as discreet as possible and keep his presence hidden from anyone, more for your own sake than his, otherwise, even your safety might be in peril and I would deeply be saddened if something happened to a good hombre like you.
You have respect of both me and the former elder, so I will agree to take part in this conference. Let me be clear, do not count on any guarantees that there will be a reach of agreements and this could be all be in vain, but I am willing to put my trust in your wisdom and senor Buonocore would not take such risk without a good reason either. Por favor, provide me with all the necessary details regarding the conference and I will make sure to attend it.

Hola, Senor Gutierrez,
I appreciate your response and your candor in this matter. Yes, it was a surprise to me as well when Senor Buonocore came to me with this and I was even more surprised by the request. But, with such respect for two very honorable men and people I respect, I thought this was worth the effort. You will hear me repeat my belief in that the both of you can make a better empire.
I do know the risks as well, Senor, which is why I so heavily encrypted this message. I will not count on a treaty, past cooperation or good reputation within the empire to negate the risks. I will set up a conference room on Med Force One which will be re-located and cloaked once you both are aboard. The ship on which you arrive will be cloaked with the rest of MF1 and your transponder deactivated while there for obscurity. No weapons for any of us and security ship wide will look like anyone else on board. I will send you a brief transmission once the meeting is set.
