Buenas dias Senor Cofresi. I appreciate your asking for our approval to fly our ship, yet I find it hard to believe you didnt know it was ours in the first place. Still, we will give you the benefit of the doubt.

Anytime we have asked the Junkers for technology we have been denied under the auspices of neutrality. They do not wish to be seen taking sides of the various groups they deal with. And we are not comfortable giving our military equipment to someone who may use it against us. For these reasons I must deny your request. I am sure you will be able to find an Outcast who will pay you a fair price for your ship.

Buenos tardes Almirante Garrison,

Gracias por your replay. I am a bit disappointed with the outcome but I do understand your position. I was not aware of the politics involving the Outcast and Junkers. Politics are for the educated folks. I am just a "campesino", or as my father would have said: a "jibarito", with little schooling. Actually, I am not aware of too many things... but I am learning from those inhabiting Sirius sector as I am encountering them. I guess I unknowingly enrolled in Hard Knocks University.

While I was born a Junker, I carry an independent pirate Id as trying to avoid the overwhelming amount of politics. I guess there is no escaping politics after all. However, I understand your position and that is that.

Again, gracias por your consideration to my request.

Roberto Cofresi
