Admiral,

We believe you are the leader of the [101th] and adress you with greatest respect.

As you know, or don't know, the Galactic Hackers, Outlaws & Shadow Traders (GHOST) is a trans-Sirius pirate and smuggler group of pilots banned from their homes or forced to exile by ecological, economical disasters or by the law of tyranny.

Our ennemies are ALL lawful forces in Sirius, incl. Bounty Hunters and, last but not least, multistellar companies employing the governments of the 5 Houses or destroying the resources of our small Galaxy.

One of these companies is the IMG. The GHOST has helped the Outcast against the IMG every time it could, be it in Tau 37 or Tau 23.

We are willing to bring the people of Malta some supplies if it can make our relations with the [101th] better.

But we must add we DO provide the people of CRETE with supplies, too, since we Galactic Hackers think unlawful factions whould join their efforts against House so-called "security" forces and their employing private companies, or at least be neutral towards other unlawful factions.

We know this is a dream. But in some place and for some time, dreams ARE real.

You will have to admit (and so do we, too) the GHOST is not trying to hide you anything until now. So maybe you'll consider carefully and with some benevolence the request of one of our pilots, commanding the "Ghost~of~Sao~Feng", to keep the Kraken weaponry one of the Outcasts (we believe it was an Independent, this might be right) gave him permission to buy some weeks ago.

Yours respectfully,

Cmdr Jack le Noir

Location: Charbydis Naval Base, Planet Malta, Omicron Alpha


Let me get this straight. You have admitted to destroying Outcast vessels. You have admitted to stealing our weaponry. You have admitted to supplying our most hated enemies with supplies. And now you wish for us to give you weaponry so you can continue to do these things.

Go to hell.


Garrison, Brandon Adm.

Admiral,

We will continue to respect the Outcast People.

But we're not going to hell.

We'll not open fire on the [101th] until you do reopen fire on us.

We might reopen fire on Cmdr.John.French or pirate Cpt.John.French's Pirate Train, though.

But after all, we've other kids to care about.

Yours respectfully,

Cmdr Jack le Noir
