Good afternoon,gentlemen.My name is George Lanz.Junior.I know about the mess my da has gotten himself into.Well I have good news and good news.First,the good news.The old fart is gone.Don't know if he's dead,nor do I care.He ran off in a CSV he bought from the Junkers talkin' some gibberish about joinin' the Hackers an' findin' the love of his life,somethin' like that.Now,the good news.I'm prepared to clear the slate between you gents and my family.I ain't stupid enough to insult probably the largest force in Sirius for a lousy two million credits.In fact,I done sent ten million to Mr.Alavera.That's the two mill he asked as a tax an' 400% extra cause my da was such a moron.And now,the even better news.I'm prepared ta' work for ya.Ya just ask what y'all need an' I'll be shippin' it over to Crete.My only wish is free passage through Theta and Gamma,when I'm deliverin'.I ain't wanna have nothin' to do with the Omicroners and their such,an' I'mma work with y'all, an' as a sign o' good will,there's three thousand tons'a Superconductors waitin' for ya on Crete.One hundred percent free.Now,I'm waitin' fer yer response,don't be disappointin' me!Lanz Jr. out.
Oh by the way,I believe my da's new ship is called Redhorn Two.Have fun.

Sucks to be a weight on the wrong side of the brilliance-insanity scale.
Oh,is that how it's gonna be,boy?You done forgot who raised ya,made you into a man!And you ain't gonna be teamin' up with them filthy 'sairs while I draw breath!Y'hear me,boy?!?
*Soft female voice*George,you gotta end it fast,they're gonna track us down!
Don't think I ain't got nothin',boy.I'm gonna hunt you down,even if y'are my flesh an' blood!Ain't no damn family o' mine gonna be coopera....
What you offer is a great sign of friendship to the Corsairs, not only to the Corsair Brotherhood. Why you sent this only to us, and not to the Council of Elders, confuses me a little. I don't believe that the Council would turn down your offer. Furthermore, from what you've said so far, all you ask for is not to be attacked while on your way to Crete to deliver goods. Corsairs attacking convoys to Crete is already against our law, and those who do so should be punished if reported to the Corsair Court. Please correct me if Im misinterpreting what you've said.
If you are heading towards Omicron Gamma with shipments of supplies and you are stopped by a Corsair, simply ask for an escort to our home. He or she should be eager to do so without charge, for the good of all our people. Some Corsairs do lack a little intelligence, but such an offer being rejected by someone who calls themselves a Corsair will quickly find themselves put to shame before the court.
This issue doesn't actually need to be discussed between you and the Corsair Brotherhood, or indeed the Council of Elders. I hope I've clarified this issue for you.
As a postscript, please also bear in mind that the Corsair Brotherhood cannot make bilateral agreements with other individuals or factions that concern the entire Corsair people, due to the powersharing policies that we support with the Benitez famillia and the Black Sails. Not that one is required in this instance anyway...
Yeah,I thought I was bound ta' screw somethin' up.Hey,I'm young,got time ta' learn,an' the capacity,thank the Lord.Good ta' know y'all appreciate my troubles.An' hey,the encryption was done by my mechanic,e's the only one half capable o' usin' the computer.Altho,he ought ta' lay off that moonshine he's been chuggin' back in the engine room.It'd be a great favour if ya could pass this here feed to the powers that be,if'n ya know what I mean. *soft laughter* Anyway, tha's gonna be it for today.Lanz Jr. out.

Tis good to hear from you. I recall our private transmissions in space earlier today.
Like my good friend Juan said, it would be wise to extent your hand to the corsair nation as a whole. Our relations with the zoners are not that good now, and such generous offers as yours will go a long way in mending broken ties. I am certain that the council will accept such an offer with open arms.
As for The Brotherhood, Like I told you, our needs do not nessacarily refelct the same as the corsair nation as a whole. We are currently expanding our fleet, and new recruits are joining us almost weekly. These corsairs need new ships as well. So, private shipments of hull panels and superconductors will help us tremendously, and are currently more needed than food shipments.
The Brotherhood is a valuable ally to have on your side Senor, and so is the Corsair nation, and the council.
Good luck senor, and looking forward to your shipments.
