the man looks quite pent up, as if he'd been working and focused on one thing for a very long time. It is evident by his surrounding that he is a researcher or technical engineering of some sort... he looks to the screen.
Members of the Council, my oh my what a mess my brother has gotten himself into...
Seems you thought you could self destruct your technology after a discrepancy over in the Taus... Well rest assured I've countered such attempts. If your traps had indeed gone of you would have stricken a mighty blow against the Renegades. And I give you my praise at such intricate planning you placed into it... But onto the subject of this message.
Though we have broken our agreement to keep hostilities down in your presence, the Renegades do wish to reconcile with the Council... My brother was foolish in his words when he made such an agreement with you, and he kept several things hidden. So allow me to bring to light the True Renegades.
We hunt the Colonial Republic, plain and simple, just as we hunt the Independent Miners within the Taus. They are your allies, and we are paid to kill them. I wont sugar coat it...
Now then, the positive... We hate Royalists, Gator and his Mercs hold a special hatred for them. We'd kill em for free if we had to, they're in infestation. Such a leader should never be in place, and should be removed. We're actively doing so by hunting for the Brigands... Because of our relations with you, and the respect for your movement (though not you choice of allies), we have refrained from ever harming a Gallic Civilian. And do not plan to...
Now for more negative... Outcasts, yes we deal with them. Not in their drugs mind you, but they pay a handsome sum for the deaths of their arch enemies, the Corsairs.
Now then, I have been openly honest with you. But do not think that "A friend of my enemy is also my enemy." I believe we can find middle ground...
In the past, the Outcasts have attacked your vessels, and in return, you have attacked the Outcasts. Due to conflicting interests, our members present stepped away from the conflict. I believe a deal such as this should be put down in stone. If your members can refrain at all costs, conflicts which involve the Renegades and the IMG/CR in the Tau's. We will also, avoid conflicts between the Council and the Outcast nation at all costs.
Shall we suffer due to our relations that are of unrelated reasons?
We wish to work out a more.... "Workable" contract. And to retain our previous status... If any of this appeals to you, let me know. We can draw something up...
