Dear Pilot of the Wolcott's.Bird,

My name is Jack Henderson and I hope this message finds you in good health, and this is not ironic. I have received the mission logs of the Tau IMG patrol that you got into a confrontation with today. Now, out there in space words often lead to rash action and everybody who once was out there knows that a certain dynamic can escalate situations quickly.

The interceptors were expecting you to attack the mining assets. You were likely expecting the interceptors to attack you. You likely believe we are just Gallic lapdogs, and our people assume that Bretonian Privateers stage from Outcast bases, support slavery and Cardamine and behave not much different than common criminals. We both know someone who suffered from the hands of the other side. Someone always says the words: but they are our enemy.

What I want to say is: Things are not always like this, sometimes it's different. The Queen Carina's Privateers (QCP) used to work covertly with the Guild and I dare say it profited and the Guild profited from the cooperation. It was successfully done in the past. It can be done again, if there is a willingness and an understanding who the enemy is.

I'll be direct and point out the red lines: The moment you decide to stage from Cali rock, or assist the Outcasts, every chance of a peaceful co-existence or cooperation is off. It is not a huge secret that Privateers are not picky in choosing their allies and most groups that the Guild encountered, chose Outcast as their friends and the Guild as their enemies. However, some did not.

I want to believe that - in theory - we have a common goal: you want the Gallic occupation forces gone from Bretonia and the Taus. I want the same. We both would prefer our old Taus, even though we both know that this is a romantic thought of an also savage past.

So, I hope you are alright and if you think there is anything to talk, this is a line of communication I would like to keep open. For your own safety, please stay clear of IMG operations in Taus until we could clarify this, because obviously tensions are high at the moment and overreactions can occur fast and result in doors that are slammed shut when - in a perfect world - they should be open. I firmly believe there is enough hate, chaos, destruction and death.

Yours sincerely,

Jack Henderson

Hmmmph,

Soooooooo, your dumb guys were expecting me to attack your mining assets while we were like 20k far from the mining site. I seeeeee. One of your pilots provoked me with stupid question, aka "Why aren't you shooting some transports instead?". Listen dear, it's nice you would love your old Taus back but let's be honest for a while. What have you done so far? Disrupted Privateers like me looking for frogs in Taus? Assisted Colonials? Imperial Navy or how are these samurayish guys called now?

And now you are trying to convince me IMG is the right choice? After you shot me down just because you "thought". If I should pick IMG or the Maltese Nation, I would pick the Maltese Nation. Why? It's simple. You've got someone with power who's able to harm Galia and someone who's just sitting and dreaming about old Taus. You've got someone who can provide you with shelter and someone who's base is being guarded by Royal Navy. You've got someone who is friendly and someone who's going to shoot you down just because they want to. That's how I would compare IMG and the Maltese Nation, dear Jack.

And yeah, dear I agree with you. I am a criminal. But being a criminal made us famous back during war between the Empire of Kusari and the Kingdom of Bretonia. It's something original and we are proud of it. Lonely pirates with Military equipment engaging in piracy against our enemies and those who deserve to be slapped. For example the Imperial Navy aka Kusari Exiles.

If you want to co-operate with me Jack, offer something in return because Outcasts are going to win. Read the second paragraph again and you will understand.

Ms. Wolcott,

You made your decision and I respect it.
I do not have to spell out the consequences.
If you ever feel like going a different path, this channel will still be active.

Jack,

I may be a stubborn, but I am not going to forgive your actions towards me. I gave you a chance to fix it, if this is your final decision so be it.

You have to understand we aren't good guys, we are arrogant, we are criminals and pirates. I haven't seen people like me forgiving those who screwed up. As I said, you can fix it Jack... It's in your hands now.
