We reckoned it would be but a few steps into your jig 'afor toes started tapping out a tune of shallow, petty threats. It must feel strange for you Junkers, finding a obstacle that can't be overcome by bowing and scraping whilst seeking to fill the cracks until you've permeated the core of it.
You curry favor with the LPI so as they might turn a blind eye to your dealing in drugs, weaponry and the trade in human flesh for your own rutting comfort of life.
You curry favor with thieves and murderers who delight in the stripping of life in the pursuit of no ideology save the credit.
At every pillar of corruption in this nation your filth can be found lingering.

You may be surprised to learn that despite your threats and your rudeness, despite spitting in our eyes when we offered you diplomacy, I haven't given up on attempting to make peace with you. So, earlier today we apprehended these pilots of yours attempting some insane assault on Rochester.
In addition, we salvaged as much as we could from their ships, as a matter of course. The goods they were carrying can be seen above, and as much equipment as we could scoop up below.
Now, NORMALLY, an organisation wishing to prove its point would execute these pilots. I suspect you would. However, we aren't "inhuman", as you said. And so, we offer you a gesture of good faith. We will return them to you unharmed, along with everything they were carrying and all the equipment we salvaged. I shall deliver them to you personally, in a neutral location, and I shall do this whether you say yes to our request or not. And then we shall part ways, and not a shot will be fired from either side.
Perhaps then you shall see how serious we are about establishing a better relationship with the Knights of Labor.
I guess some people just never learn. We have given you a chance, a good deal even. Remember this , with every foolish suicide atack , you will only further on our business.

You must understand. We will never allow the filth,corruption, and the demoralization of the people
of Liberty to continue unchecked. You may have pulled the "wool" over the eyes of the government. But I guess that is to be expected of them. You ,however, will not escape our notice.

That's my boys. Junkers be damned. Your less of a threat altogether than any LPI officer on his or her own. You don't have a cause, you don't beleive in anything except your right to have what you can take. How dare you lecture us on our beleifs when you have none of your own.
I lament the capture of our Knights, but I will not mourn them. They knew what this could lead to when they first sat in those cockpits, it is the price of liberty for Liberty, and if we can eradicate you whilst we do it, then so much the better.
We do fight for the people, we are rooted to the cause of the working Libertonian. Now begone with your honeyed lies and offers of damnation.
And insult the wing leader of my premier flight wing again and I will have all Xenos hunting you down personally, Mr. Bishop.
Matthew Gibbs. Foreman of the Knights of Labor.

I have received custody of our captured by pilots care of one Amy Carmichael of the Junker Congress.
My crew assures me that they are in sound health, though our personell on Dryden will have the final say.
As I assured Ms. Carmichael this absolves nothing... Though I would take this moment to remind that our ultimate mission within Liberty remains unfulfilled while we waste our resources tormenting the her opportunists.
Let's put the bravado on hold today. The war is far from over, but the broadcasting of its atrocities to the derision of the Junkers accomplished little.

As I said, I am nothing if not a woman of my word, and I expect nothing less from any Junker operating in Liberty. Your pilots are unharmed and free to continue their fight against the corporations who took their jobs away. The stories I could tell you about what goes on in Interspace alone!
But I digress. Perhaps this gesture will go some way towards convincing the Knights of Labor that the Junkers have no interest in being their enemy. We're in the business of making friends, not foes.
