はじめまして| Hajimemashite,

It has been a long while since I've had the chance to speak to one of your ilk and while I shall not pretend to appreciate your ways, I concede that in these trying times we must at least put aside our differences in order to secure a more desirable future. Especially against this mutual Corsair threat.

However, I cannot help but ask, why you ask this of us? What do you stand to gain? Your precious Dons who are sequestered safely upon Malta no doubt would rather spend the lives of Kusarians, specifically in this case of the Dragons for whom you too have no love. So why must I ask this of my pilots? Why should I tell them that we are to kill the enemies of Malta for your corrupt regime's meagre recompense?

You make the presumption that we are driven by nothing more than the material desire for credits, yet we fight every single day, in space, on station, upon worlds, within the universities and even within the government of Kusari itself. You know little of our five-hundred year plight and what it means to do what we do.

You can keep your credits, that which have been sown through the rot that you force upon the woefully ignorant of Sirius. I'll have no part in your game.

When contending with a monster, you'd be wise to give the devil his due.
