Elder Alexander, I thank you for your apology, but may I remind you that this is not the first time we've had this problem. We have enough trouble defending -your- space without having to look over our shoulders all the time. I believe that the last time this happened, Zehn gave you a hint as to why you shouldn't mess with us. All SCRA will now be on watch for Corsair trickery, and as for us becoming friendly, I believe I've held on to that card long enough. Consider the request refused until I believe the Corsairs are trustworthy once again.
Believe me, Elders. I am one step away from pulling the SCRA out of Gamma for a while, along with the only Corsair worth his salt. I'd like to see how you handle yourselves on your own for a while. You will not give me a reason to take this step if you know what's good for your precious Crete.
I shall be expecting a rather polite reply.
Admiral V Britanov

Yes, I've had regular reports on your training and they seemed in order. However, I will hold back my judgment until I see you fly personally.

A little bit of trouble today as I launched my bomber from Planet Crete. I took a check on my scanners, 3 Corsairs were outside the Planet. Until my shields drop, a rogue Corsair under the comm ID of WebS attacked my bomber as I floated in space. I activated my novas and blasted the ship to dust. Funny enough, he began sending complaints of my oddly set up IFF, though after an TBH Elder came in, he went quiet.
Then, at a bit of a surprise. 2 Mercenarys, hostile to the SCRA and Corsairs chose to make there way to Planet Crete thinking that would just sit there and enjoy themselves... There mistake at that, my novas opened fire on the Liberty Assault Carrier. Though, the Corsairs near by did nothing.
I couldn't understand why the Corsairs were not engaging a known hostile Merc. Soon after Captain Zehn launched from Planet Crete and knocked some sense in to them, both Mercenarys were 'dealt' with.
Yes, a bit of trouble indeed... But nothing that can't be handled.

I was told this is where I can get in touch with you fools. My pilot, Ares, is a little displeased with you lot; as am I. We do -not- take disrespect lightly, and you -will- be bowing before me and my men, before I order them to obliterate OPG from the face of Sirius!
That incident in the bar on Crete is the straw that broke the camel's back. We've suffered disrespect at your pilot's hands countless times in the past few weeks, and quite frankly I'm sick to death of it! We've defended Crete with our lives since we began here in Sirius and you repay us with cheek and betrayal!
I will be expecting a full, flattering apology, along with anything else you think may stop me from ordering all of your executions, in the next hour.
First off Lt.Commander Kerensky I'd like to say good evening. I think I'll explain this to you before I throw this onto you. I had an engagement outside Crete with the crazed drugey Mon'Star. I politely asked the corsairs and Lt.Commander Varnava to back off, and they complied. I was doing perfectly fine, but Commander Ares insisted on helping. I tried to explain this was a thing between Mon'star and I, but heh guess it didn't matter. Anyways I'm obviously not worth my weight in sh*t in the eyes of Commander Ares, so you'll be leaving the defense fleet in Omega-52 and taking my place I have places to go and don't need this.
It appears that a new group of scum are setting themselves up in Sirius. It has come to my attention that the SU are a 'Slavers' Union'.
This should not, and will not, be tolerated. Such sickening capitalism is the very thing which we are in Revolution against! Not only are they after money, but they earn it with the blood, sweat and tears of others. Well, we'll make them sweat, we'll make them shed a few tears, and we'll certainly make them bleed.
Any Slaver ships are to be blasted into dust. And before you waste them and rescue their 'cargo', let them know that it is FOR THE PEOPLE!
-Ares out!

OOC: Spoke with SU leadership. He said that in spite of Trader IDs, he thinks that it would be perfectly within RP to shoot them. Make sure you talk with them too, though. Get some banter.:PDon't overdo it though with hunting them... they aren't in military ships.
The events in crete were the result of Ares disrespecting both myself an OPG on several occasions. My actions were born of frustration with Ares over inflated ego. I regret deeply my actions which as you are no doubt aware are mailnly due to my passion for the corsair cause. Never the less the actions were made and I stand by my right to take them. I would rather deal with Ares in the bar than allow our dislike of each other to flow out into space where the real enemy awaits.
Should you wish to spill this little incident out of a bar room brawl then your dedication to our cause is les than I thought. I doubt you will allow this to happen however as by ALL accounts you have both good sense and humour and realise that pirates are likely to fight on occasion.
If this is the straw that broke the camels back then Ares comment 'We arent going to train the likes of you OPG' was the one that broke mine. training of any kind would have been of benefit to both OPG and SCRA.
I see here two proud clans who together could make Crete and corsair space a fortress against all who would defame the honour of corsairs.
I considered the matter over when I left the bar. Both myself and Ares are guilty of disrespecting each other. For my part I will offer the hand of friendship.
Will you take it or will you once more rebuke our friendship?

Today, Voronov and I were invited on a Corsair raiding party in Omicron Alpha. We chased a fleeing RoS to his homeplanet which was then heavily bombarded. We wreaked havok on the entire system. Countless escape pods, body parts, and chunks of scrap metal littered the system by the time we decided to regroup back in Omicron Gamma. Alpha lay in ruins.
Voronov exercised his talent for mental warfare as well. It wasn't long before some Outcasts were handing themselves over in sheer fear.

Must I remind you that your rank is lower than the average recruit right now?
You will not give orders like 'No survivors!', or any others for that matter. Not that they meant anything, seeing as that is standard procedure anyway!
Now, at least you didn't do anything stupid aside from forgetting your place.
Lt. Commander Jovovich outranks you. Remember that. No, scratch that... everyone outranks you. So act like it!
And please, enough religious imagery in your comm. chatter. We all know that 'Hell' is a construct of all these false religions, 'the Opium of the People' as it were.
Today something awfully strange happened, although there have been reports about Ivan having weird dreams maybe I had some of what got him. What I did see today was disturbing, in the docking bay there was a Hellfire Legion ship sitting there. That's not it though Sir, it gets a lot weirder the ship belonged to an Aralie Phelps. From what I heard Aralie was killed by his brother Southern Alliance admiral Christopher 'Razr' Phelps. When Ares inspected the ship there was no doubt it was the real deal. We're still looking for the person who had been piloting the vessel. Also the boys on Verde are working on my Griffin Light Fighter class ship. It should be combat ready within 24-hours and will be stationed on my gunboat docked on Crete.
For the Coalition!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
