Cruisers for every occasion
Senorita Flora... *nods a bit*
Elders are happy to see your breakthrough in capital warships building. We are also trying to develop lighter and more fitting to asteroid fields destroyer like your Caliburn class ship is. Unfortunately, all the side horns on our prototypes made them almost of no use in Omega rocks. We noticed your ship is flying without horns at all and would like to see it from close. Very close.
And... without stealing one as usual, of course. For one Caliburn we would give one fine Praefect in return. She will demolish any enemy ship of similar size and speed - on open. That ships are so strong, that we will upgrade them all to battle cruisers soon.
However, ships exchange is not like our girls playing soccer and exchange shirts after the match. We must solve following issues:
- Crew training
- Spare parts, maintenance and how to patch holes with Premium Scrap
- Duration of our deal, contracts and so on...
And of course... We guarantee No Animals Were Harmed in the Making of our Praefects.
Muchos gracias,
Salazar da Palma Oliveira

Aren't you the quick ones.
The Guard fights a war, and you're silent. For months, years. Even have the audacity to move in a fleet, fighting for our enemy, I might add, without as much as a courtesy call. But when you spot a shiny, you sure are quick to remember your little friends in the west. Kinda makes me wish Beltran was still around. He was a stellar guy, you know. But I digress.
Lucky for you, we've decided we have kept you waiting long enough. Also lucky for you, a deal like this isn't off the table. Yet. But you're right, it won't be as easy as exchanging shirts after a match. There will be a few catches to it. Mostly meant to make up for some... Moral losses the Guard has suffered due to your misconduct.
With that out of the way, I'll just get to the issues. The training, obviously, is a must have. I'm fairly sure your Praefects don't have the same hardware stuffed into the bridge as the Essedarius. Nor do I expect them to be anywhere near as tight and cramped as Caliburns. I'm sure we can both round up some crews and make a small exchange, have your amigos train ours and vice versa. But that's for when the deal is set and the ships are building.
Now, patching up. Suffice to say a "Fixing a starship with scrap for dummies." tutorial is all the knowledge you'll need. We made sure the ships are as simplistic and reliable as humanly possible.
Lastly, well... Permanent? I fail to see any other way this could possibly work. We fork over a Caliburn hull, you fork over a Praefect hull, and everyone's happy. No timetables or payments to worry about.
Now. For the catch. I trust you remember that one time we asked you to return the favour. With the tech and all. But then Buonocore happened and nothing came out of it. We'd like to restart that deal. Once that's done, we can proceed to exchanging the big toys properly.

A big fat solution
Now, now, Green Eyes... Look what have you done.... *shakes head slowly*
You managed to offend my good hermano Salazar. What you told him is simply not like you said. Truth is we encourage our Greek pilots to fight against BAF, simply because you don't do it anymore. In the same time, our Furiosa wing is fighting on your side, in beautiful Panther bombers we exchanged with you for mighty Titans. Also our brave Black Sails helped you against Marine Royale several times. Be a nice lady as you are and don't let me remind you of our flourishing alliance and even friendship.
Another fact is that we could help you even more and you are right about that. We grabbed the opportunity to backstab RHA in Omegas 5 and 47 and we assigned many pilots to Battlegroup Magreb. We even managed to devastate their already damaged flagship Kassel, with acceptable losses on our side.
However, tones of Premium Scrap at Tripoli are ready to become our sturdy ships, but we have no enough capable crews to fly them. Together with exchanging your destroyers for our cruisers, I suggest this:
- a veteran team of repair technicians exchange
- a huge fat and fast neural link between Torshavn and Tripoli, highly encrypted
We use Gaian ships at 100% efficiency thanks to knowledge, manuals and blueprints you gave us. With this link production and maintenance will be faster, cheaper and both ways.
Before saying yes to this tempting proposal be awarded por favor I would kill you with my bare hands in case you show our secrets to any other party.
*blinks for few seconds*
Now, how about that dinner I still owe you? I see your mood is pretty grumpy, but you will surely forget all your troubles after few bites with good old Pepe *winks*

Elder Ladron.
Alright. I'll not press the subject any further. Not really feeling like ruining all this for a few snarky comments.
In any case, you can be sure that your bare hands will not be necessary. Both of the proposals are agreeable on our end, and we're already rounding up a team to be assigned to Tripoli. Mostly Watchers, but I expect an Emerald or two to wiggle their way into the roster. The channel itself will be handled by the Emeralds in a few days. They have more know-how on this stuff than we do. We'll have our engineering team help hook up the systems once they're settled down on Tripoli.
As for the dinner... It'd be a pleasure, but the war is keeping me busy. Maybe during some calmer times.

Ho-laaa, Green Eyes... *latino smile*
There is how our tech exchange link facility looks like at our end, pretty senorita. We did it all nice and clean, for your pleasure. Lemme upload it...

I hope this will help you finding few hours of your beautiful time to have a dinner with good old Pepe *winks*
