Looks like your encryption is a bit wonky, amigo.

What you offer is a great sign of friendship to the Corsairs, not only to the Corsair Brotherhood. Why you sent this only to us, and not to the Council of Elders, confuses me a little. I don't believe that the Council would turn down your offer. Furthermore, from what you've said so far, all you ask for is not to be attacked while on your way to Crete to deliver goods. Corsairs attacking convoys to Crete is already against our law, and those who do so should be punished if reported to the Corsair Court. Please correct me if Im misinterpreting what you've said.

If you are heading towards Omicron Gamma with shipments of supplies and you are stopped by a Corsair, simply ask for an escort to our home. He or she should be eager to do so without charge, for the good of all our people. Some Corsairs do lack a little intelligence, but such an offer being rejected by someone who calls themselves a Corsair will quickly find themselves put to shame before the court.

This issue doesn't actually need to be discussed between you and the Corsair Brotherhood, or indeed the Council of Elders. I hope I've clarified this issue for you.

As a postscript, please also bear in mind that the Corsair Brotherhood cannot make bilateral agreements with other individuals or factions that concern the entire Corsair people, due to the powersharing policies that we support with the Benitez famillia and the Black Sails. Not that one is required in this instance anyway...

Good luck senor Lanz.
