Phantom-6,

We are grateful for safe return of our proprietary products. While we hope no more opportunities presents themselves, any future cases of misplaced White Boxes can be successfully returned to our ships during face-to-face meeting. Your organisation might prove to be more than previous iterations of Xenos.

John White,
President, Ageira Innovations

Phantom-6,

Your scumbags have chosen to cripple my ship near Pueblo for refusing to jettison all of Bretonian Cobalt that I was transporting. Suffice to say any further cooperation will be hard to come by and I can assure you that my security forces will be on the lookout to return the favour of shooting your ships too.

Mister White, or should I say Miser.

What we had to do to your ship simply was regrettable, but time and time again the attitude we've received from Ageira when attempting to give you a dialogue to work with has always been over-confidence and passive-aggression. I have to admit, it felt a little good to kick your ship half to hell and leave you void of the cargo you refused to drop. You didn't even attempt to negotiate, just outright refusal. If you have to place blame somewhere, I'm sure your pride given the circumstances will prove a suitable candidate.

The Alliance cannot allow those Bretonian goods to pass through Liberty, to do so would be a direct compromise of our interests and that too one of a grave caliber and with no gains whatsoever. If you want your ships to run back and forth without interference, then I think you'll have to swallow just a small amount of the pride you're spitting our way and bring something to the table for us to consider.

'Cause from where we stand, you're just another suit trying to talk his way out of a ballistic situation. Remember who you're dealing with sir, and be a little grateful we didn't aim to kill you or any of your fine crewmen. Would have been a darn shame for them to have died over your inability to offer compromise. Serpentis bites and can prove quite the crude bunch when provoked. A rattling snake is a sure sign of danger, a fact that'll save lives.

You might not know it, but there's a lot of people pissed off with Ageira in the Alliance, Mister White. Your business practices haven't exactly left them very sympathetic of your position. It'll take action to undo that cynicism, action you've proved unwilling to take. And that much is unfortunate.

Phantom-6,

Your henchmen fired upon me the moment I wanted to remind of our past talks. It was your choice to engage me with weapons rather than engage me in proper conversation. Time for conversations is over and our professional pilots will be reminding that your pathetic and useless people and ships are nothing in comparison to might that Ageira has built and maintained by actually looking after Liberty's interests while you choose to sabotage our operations that in the end profit Liberty the most. Better hide your teeth because you wanted to chew on more than you can handle.

Looking forward to showcasing our prowess and your downfall.

John White,
President, Ageira Innovations

Mister White.

Maybe henchmen is how you view your own employees, assets to be expended in the pursuit of profit that only the one percent ever get to see. I have to admit, it's mildly amusing that you're only proving the point I made in regards to your pride. Better still that my peers will eventually get to hear it. Pride cometh before the fall, Mister White. I've given you ample opportunity to find common cause, all you've done in return is prove to us that Ageira can neither be trusted nor expected to see reason.

It's ironic how a pathetic and useless group of people have gotten you so riled up. So much so that you're willing to send your secret police after us. More ironic still is the fact that these people have existed well before you were even born and became the leech you are today. If you really cared about Liberty's interests, then you wouldn't have been so eager to throw your workers under the bus and give the other Houses the ability to walk all over Liberty.

Get one thing clear though, snakes don't chew. They swallow their prey whole.

Phantom-6,

Neither this or this feels like your can actually swallow something other than regret for being on the bottom of the food chain. Looking forward to shooting down more of your sheep.

Mister White.

This will be the first time we're speaking. but I simply must remind you of the consequences of having a louder bark than a bite. After all, it's such a shame that your top-notch skills as a pilot simply could not save you from the bottom of even our food chain, a savant such as yourself crippled by a measly little recruit. Truly, how inelegant of you. But don't let me stop you, John. Evidently you feel we've taken something from you, and this is all a scramble for you to get back what you've lost.

We have nothing to lose, there will never come a day where you can say the same thing. And whether or not the rigidity of your prejudice and delusional aggrandizement can accept that, it'll be the reason why we always have power over people like you. If nothing else, I appreciate the challenge so let's keep playing. Just be mindful of a little known truth that life has to offer the perceptive.
