Its good to finally find a working frequency after so long. I knew I had a paper with it left in my cockpit somewhere, glad it didn't fly off, or even worse: being sucked in the vacuum. I did some cleaning a while ago, too many food scraps left around. There is this transport I found filled with Gin by the way. He says the booze came from New London, so how could I miss the chance? Anyway, let us put tales aside and move in with the introduction. I don't know for how long will my ship stay powered.
Soy conocido como Ernesto Aguado, Corsario hasta el núcleo. I've had my fair share of fights for 3 years since I left Crete as a lone raider - and explorer to some extent. I couldn't just watch how Bretonia is dying out - the main source of our income. So I went into searching for a suitable replacement in case the worst could happen. There is too much for me to tale right now, but let me tell you something: Liberty is hell of an interesting target. Traders come and go faster than those silent people we pirate in Bretonia.
I wish I could have stayed more and perhaps get some souvenirs, but after so long in seclusion my ship couldn't handle anymore. Esos libertinos bastardos struck me good and ripped one of my Titan's wings off. I had to fly all the way to a weird Zoner base in Kepler while leaking expensive fuel and hydraulic liquid...Herida dolorosa. I did some stitching here and there but I was still left without a wing. Those civilains looked weird at my ship as if the Titan was some alien ship. I ended up sealing the leakage and fly all the way to Omega-3 via Jump Holes. Now my ship is almost dead and needs repairs badly. I grew to handle on my own regarding engineering but I can't fully repair something without replacement parts.
Take this as an emergency call, if you may hermanos. I can make one last run towards Cadiz. Is there a small chance a few ingenieras can help me out fix this ship with a new wing and a fixed power core?
*Ernesto prepares to close the transmission however the board computer bursted in sparks, making the Corsair to quickly fall off the chair, swearing in his maternal language for circa 10 seconds before actually closing the transmission*

I can only respect el hombre with so rich swearing repertuar. Just try to keep it calmer next time as I'm not always alone here and by the way my old esposa shouldn't know about it.
Your wrecked ship is already reported by Cadiz crew and can be repaired, naturalmente. It would need some time and spare parts however... so I have el better idea. Why wouldn't you push your luck a bit more and jump to Omega-47? Our mighty battleship Fes is just a few clickos after your jump and is currently very well equipped for el repairs. We can surely patch up your ship in a day, as stocks and even space around Fes is full of Titan spare parts.
But, there is el catch...
We are short of pilots on good old Fes. Would you consider investing some of your time and efforts to... you know... stay with us to shoot some evil Revolutionaries there?
We are struggling in O-47 and every pair of hands could be a difference. Rum rations are doubled at Fes and El Presidente will personally reward bravest ones when battle be over.
Si?

Battleship Fes? That thing is still alive? Al milagro! I remember the days I roamed its halls...ah, the memories. Anyway, I'll apply some more sealant above the already dried one and make haste towards Omega-47. And about the...offer.
My ears are still ringing from the computer - you know, from the fireworks. Did I hear right that The Corsair Empire is struggling? Ay caramba...not everything is perfect. I'll see what I can do - perhaps The Brotherhood's banner is open for another Corsair to join, si? Defending our land is a good thing. Defending our land with The Brotherhood's blessing and wingmen at your side? Well, that what I would call un buen trato. Fingers crossed -not behind your back...- that I'll make it to Fes.
*Ernesto prepares to turn off the transmission but hesitates for several seconds as the computer began to buzz. With a nearly fearful face, he looks the other way as he turns off the transmission. Luckily enough this time there were no swearings*

Good choice. It will pay off in times in front of us. You will be el part of el history we are making there.
Hand your Titan to repairs department as soon as you dock and tell them I said to patch it well. Then report to First Officer there, so he could point you to recruiting center. You will get an apply form there, take care to fill the fields as honest as you can. We know no one is perfect *winks*
In case you have just one good eye, or just one hand, or have both, but both are left - I recommend you think about joining our Spartacus wing. It's under my personal command and by teamworking we compensate our lack of skill.
Let me know when you pass all the procedures. Hasta la Vista, hermano.
