Insurge To Fear

PALACIO IMPERIAL, Crete

After there is no response to his question, Tavros proceeds with his presentation, and moves on to the next slide. It shows refugees being interviewed.

" The refugees brought by the representatives will be given fair wages and some of the rights of a Cretan, shall their work be fruitful. "

Next slide shows something resembling a gated apartment complex in one of the cities of Crete, surrounded by a rocky desert.

" After they are all interviewed and given appropriate job positions, they will be relocated to an habitation complex where they will be given their homes. They'll work from there or live near their workplace, and given access to all the basic necessities of living, including access to fresh food, water and consumer goods."

Tavros pauses for a moment, adjusting his suit.

" Specialized, qualified workers that collaborate with their Corsair equivalents will be granted bonuses: Engineers, ship builders, military specialists, doctors, bio engineers, among others. The amount of their bonuses will depend on how much they contribute. The Empire is most interested on any techniques and knowledge they might have, especially on military applications. "

He looks back towards the projection, and another slide glides in. It shows the crew under the command of many of the captains present.

" The crew of the ships pertaining to the Captains will also closely collaborate to Corsair engineers and shipwrights. These engineers will be given a permanent quarter on each of the warships, along with Corsair representatives, to ensure that Corsair Law is followed and the Empire's interests are put above everything else, and all knowledge is shared. Ship systems and components might be investigated and analyzed by Corsair Engineers at any moment, given it is safe and appropriate to do so. "

The captain takes a deep breath, getting ready for his next lines. Another slide is shown: It is the flag of the Corsair empire and the Liberty Insurgency's Insignia.

" An insurgent battlegroup, called Grupo de Batalha Alabarda, or, Halberd Battlegroup, will be created. Halberds, ancient weapons of war, were known for their long reach and potential of destruction. The same applies for this battlegroup. Insurgency captains will be tasked with special long range operations, most likely within Liberty, to procure the interests of the Empire in that region. The Insurgency knows the region of Liberty better than the Empire. You all are fit and adequate for this task. "

Tavros stops and looks towards the crowd, scanning.

" Any questions? "
