We are currently running down our stockpiled weapons pretty fast, as you can imagine from all the new fighters we had to outfit during and now, after the failed invasion of Rheinland.
At the moment, our stock is limited. However, we recognise your position and the superiority of our engineers over yours. Obviously, dockworkers aren't specialized in weapons calibration, so the blueprints we sent you for the protector Mk V neutron cannon did not yield as much firepower as we had expected.
Therefore, I am allocating a small number of our armaments for you to use. No salamanca mk II's right now, but a few tizona's and colada's.
However, be sparing with these guns, we have not very many left.
I will personally try to oversee an increased production of these guns, but my brothers are working as fast as they can already. It will be some time before we can grant you access to our additional weaponry.

Our people are already thankful for the positive manner you have assumed recently.
However, for the past 2 weeks the Unioner committee has been enforcing me to learn the shipment dates, the quantity of the mentioned spesific arms and the required amount of escorts needed to protect the shipment through the Rheinland space. Therefore, I need to state that we are looking forward to learn the exact shipment details as soon as possible.
Well, I can't promise anything solid as it depends entirely on the production of Tripoli this week, but if my motivational scheme goes to plan, you should have three Colada del Cid's and seven Tizona del Cid's ready to be shipped.
As Tripoli's production is focussed entirely on weapons and patrol vessels at this time, such as gunboats and fighters, we have no ships available for the safe transportation of these guns through hostile territory. Unfortunately, you may have to pick them up personally, but I am sure it wont be a problem.
The shipment should be ready by Wednesday, but be sure to guard these carefully, as they will be the fruits of the only spare production capacity on Tripoli for some time to come.
On your way to Tripoli, bring some food supplies for Crete. As you know, we are always in dire need of consumer goods and food stuffs and your help in this way would certainly put you in good stead with the Corsairs. In fact, even better, you could transport artifacts out from Omicron Gamma. I, as well as many of the brothers, would be very appreciative if you did this, and possibly more inclined to "free up" some more arms for you and your men.

In return of your favour, I will be relaying an order for delivering food rations and consumer goods to Crete while retrieving some amount of artifacts from there with our supply convoy shortly. We would probably transport the arms stocks on our return to Pacifica without any problems. Yet, I will still advise our wing members to take advanced precaution for the protection of the shipments in both routes.

Message to: The Brotherhood
Bad news brothers: My Titan gave up functionality right now, i had to scrap it together with its weapons. I will try to gather money elsewhere to receive a new Titan and new equipment.
Yanez out.
OOC: Wanted to sort chars after accounts, and it came out the new Yanez[TBH] was corrupt. Have to set it up again...
I while on patrol in Gamma I encountered a UKMG ship, designation Echo 2. This ship was carring a IMG ID, but was brodcasting Police frequincies. Elder Costello hail the ship to asertain it's intent, he would not respond. I followed the ship throught the O41 jh, and countinued my pursuit and he proceded to O15 and then dresdin. At that point he was joined by another ship who was quickly dispatched. Echo 2 kept broadcasting nonsense communication about silly things(OOC Chater, quoting non existing rules and such). I was engaging Echo 2 and another ship join in attacking me, I was unable to identify him but I belive the name was X-gun or X0lancer}}} something like that. Unfourtunatly the untimley arrival of 3 Rienland capital ship was to much for me alone, I was forced to withdraw, On the way back the damage from the rheinland caps caused my Cruise engines to fail and as I was moving back to corsair space, Echo 2 came after me and after the caps, I was unable to stop his tailiden bomber and My ship was destroyed. Luckly I was close tot the jumphole and was able to direct my escape pod through the jumphole where I was picked up by a freindly unionier ship and returned to corsair space. I am awaiting the Tripoli ships salvage of my ship. Watch out for these UKMG becasue the seem to think Our space is theirs.

Thank you Elder for allowing us acces through Gamma....
Looking through our plans, I did see something that may trouble TBH so I wanted to clarify that and get an approval on that as well. In our effort to eliminate or atleast ristrict the Nomad threat to the Citizens of Omicrons, JG may be teaming up with a few AW members. Which means... some AW may be flying through your space with us. I needed to make sure that this would not be a problem as we will avoid all contact with Gamma bases and leave the territory as fast as we can.
Here is the reason why I think having AW with us is a good idea.
1. This is a first step to eliminate hostilities between Corsairs and this branch of zoner affiliates.
2. Hopefully some where in the future, Corsairs can concentrate more on their true enemies (aka OC, RM).
3. Zoners would like to see more economic interaction with their neighbors, this also helps us revitalize the economy of FP9. Rather than raiding us, please visit us for cheaper good quality food and other articles of everyday need.
Please let us know so we can make appropriate changes to our next steps.
By the way, The transport ships are enroute with consumable for the citizens of Crete. They should arrive in 2 days..if the solar flares are favorable.
I have a very negative standing towards the AW, as do the rest of my brothers and sisters around the Corsair continuum. I will list the reasons:
1. They attack us whilst we attack the Outcasts, visibly aiding our enemies on the field of battle.
2. They bomb our planets and stations.
3. Some have Outcast tags, while others fly Outcast ships such as the Sabre and Outcast destroyer, the symbols of the death of many of our brothers in the past.
Now regarding your points in order:
1. As far as many of the Corsairs go, they are Outcasts, just with no honour whatsoever and a misplaced tag.
2. The Outcasts are aided by the AW, so in trying to concentrate on our main enemy, we have to shoot the AW too.
3. The Corsairs have nothing against true Zoners of any kind. If we ever blockaded a Freeport, it would ONLY be to the AW and our sworn enemies. All Zoners would pass in and out freely. However, that is the action which the Brotherhood will be forced to take if the AW become a problem worth dealing with.
However, all these points said, I must confess that I have a lot of respect for the [\JG/] especially the way yourself handled that... situation... in Omicron Theta not so long ago. Therefore, I will consult this with the other Elders to see what they think the next course of action should be.
If it were my decision, I would allow this only if the AW declared themselves in system with a [\JG/] member present to hold them back from shooting our brothers. But it isn't my decision, so you should hear shortly about the Elder's decisions about this issue. If it is undecided, the motion will be put forward to the rest of the brothers.
I am thankful for the good intentions of the [\JG/] but for now until a decision is made, the AW will be shot if they enter our home.
Quote:I, personally, am okay with this. The problem I can see with this is that AW and TBH are still at a state of war, and TBH's leadership (McNeo) has refused all peace porposals we have sent/discussed so far. It seems that getting TBH to agree with a peace treaty would be a necessary step if AW were to take part in this.
You see my friend, this neural message was sent to me by a very very senior AW member. They want peace too. [\JG/] is not saying this will resolve overnight. This is a thousand mile journey. But someone will have to take the first steps. Are TBH elders willing take it ? or will this die out in bickerinng again? All I can try to do is midiate unofficially to a certain degree, and then, the elders from both factions need to figure out what they want to do to their "children". AW can look at their problems and their actions and TBH can do the same. Frankly, unless we have any guidelines for our newer members (and this goes for any faction) the new members will sometimes do things that dont represent their leadership. A "Treaty" of any sort willl resolve this problem. Put it in writing, talk to each other...solve it. I am willing to help in any way I can.
FOR PEACE.

---transmission ended---
What you don't seem to understand is we have been invaded by AW countless times, for months the Brotherhood has stopped outright attacks on the AW, did they do the same? no they carried on coming to Gamma attacking and killing our brothers, for months we've only attacked them when they've attacked us, do they do the same? no they attack us weather its for bounty's or just plain fun most of the time.
If they had come two months ago with peace talks maybe i and the other Elders would have been more open but they didn't, they carried on murdering our brothers without any thought.
You say "for peace" i say its a little to late for that.
