Leon's fighter patrols report: The Brotherhood is all browned up.

I see you've been busy doing a splendid job. Being all in on mining trinkets surely left your defences weak. Your shiny new castle was build on quicksands and you didn't even knew. I wonder, what was it's purpose, an artifact storage or a defensive structure? Either way, your planning is messed up.

If you hadn't been so busy in playing archaeology, those putas would've knew their place. And where are your amigos, the Deterrence? Their name doesn't mean much to the Hessians, it seems. This makes me believe your castle was intended to be a fortified base. If it was to be a trinket holdout, then they would've been on your six to help out. Artifacts para siempre.

As predicted, shooting mining lasers and throwing artifacts at the Hessians didn't made them run in fear. That talks a lot about your new gained reputation. It's more likely that asteroids will cower in fear of your presence than any other hostile.

But now, your problem is ours as well. We cannot allow these perros to run lose so close to Crete. The Black Sails is dispatching reinforcements, expect fighter wings to arrive shortly, and the main relief fleet within the next 96 hours.

Do your best to hold on. Unfortunately, with your recent slacking in deploying patrols throughout the Omegas, it will take us quite some time to reach your castle in one piece.

Do take the most out of this, señor. Fail to adapt to the current strategic environment, and Omicron Gamma will follow.

Godspeed.

Oye, muchachos, escuchen bien?

I am doing my usual patrol in Omicron Gamma, cruising through the stars, and Dios mío!!!
I get a transmission from el Black Sails?! Qué sorpresa, my friend!

I am muy grande fan of them: Don Vito, Magistrate Espingarda.... they were the most famous raiders from Cadiz!
When I was still a Tribune for the Council of Elders I had the honour of working with them, seeing them up close!
I even flew on their wing quite a few times! my cousin Poncho Benitez even joined them,
choosing a high risk, high reward swashbuckling lifestyle over the more mundane but most needed tasks of the Brotherhood.

It is heartwarming to see that the youngsters of today look up to these giants from the past!
A lot of people on Creta, especially the older generations, might call you imposters, wan't to be's and such and so on.
But personally, I think it is muy lindo!
And mira, I know you young Sails want to be all big and famous like the real ones, but let’s be clear here:

the name doesn’t mean much if you can’t back it up.

Just ‘cause you’re dropping fighter wings and talking about “reinforcements” you don’t impress anyone yet.
You wanna talk about honor? Maybe you should start by showing up on time, instead of taking 96 hours to send some backup.

Still, if I shall see you in space, I shall think of my old hermanos of Cadiz, long not seen but not forgotten!
So let's see if you can do that stolen name and fame a little bit of justice and go kill some hessians for the empire!
Or get ''browned up'' by them, the empire has plenty of young locos to replace you.
