Message to: Pedro Maniaco (and no one else...)
I was the commanding officer at the scene of the battle, and I apologize if what I did seemed wrong, but I was acting out of the interests of the Brotherhood. I know this may seem a bit far fetched at first, but hear me out.
Us getting the Hellfire legion to do our bidding is essentially free labour for us. And think about it. Them allied to the Outcasts, helping the Brotherhood, against the treacherous Sirius Federation scum? Not good for them, especially since they are working against their allies, for their enemies.
You see, diplomacy is sometimes a good thing. Though i despise it, I take a grim pleasure in sowing discord and discontent in the ranks of those allied against us. You see, now the Outcasts and those others against us will be asking where the Hellfire Legion's loyalties really lie. If we can break up their alliances, essentially from the inside out, then we automatically gain the advantage in strength, as their forces are no longer united.
This action is dishonourable, I will agree. But since when have the Hellfire Legion been worthy of our respect or honour?
Please see my reasoning Pedro, that my actions earlier today may have hindered greatly the Outcast alliances against us. Maybe the Lane Hackers will be cut out of it all together, you never know... One can only hope for the best, I suppose.
I also participated in this campaign. I was out doing some trade runs and saw that El Cucaracha was being pursued and was outnumbered by an SF cruiser, a Zoner Juggernaut (hmm thought the Zoners were our friends), and a PLCS cruiser. From what I saw at that point he was all alone. I made an executive decision to rush to my Titan however far away it was and assist my brother. By the time I returned ready to fight, several other TBH members had arrived as well as the HF member.
In the heat of the moment I didn't think twice about the fact that we were fighting alongside our enemy. I apologize greatly for this lack in judgement made this day. I accept any punishment set forth by the elders.

I am very thrilled to see our ranks growing so exponentially. We are becoming very strong. I'd like to welcome all of the new recruits and that I look forward to flying with all of you.
Now to the Elders, the company has made a small transfer to my Titan's neural net that I would like to transfer to the Banco this evening. It's only 50 mil at this point as we ran into a little trouble with credit transfers to and from Republican Shipping (my friend lost his account when his computer crashed decimating half of our money and then I had to buy him a new train). Anyway I will be passing through Omicron Gamma this evening around 5:30 GMT. I hope to see one of you there.

The following is a note left with the bartender at the bar on Planet Crete:
Dear Brotherhood,
I was not able to find any of you to transfer my donation towards our home system. There is 50 million credits in the neural net of my Titan here in the hangar. Hopefully I will see one of the Elders soon to make the credit transfer. As for now I have taken a shuttle back to Alster Shipyard to continue building the company. Hope to be flying again with you all soon.
Oh and Venger and I took a little trip over to Alpha tonight and took it to Juan.De.Soto of the GoR with authority. The two of us dispatched him in less than a minute. The space gods gave the kill to his fellow Outcasts, but that was not the case. Not much of a war if that is all the ghosts have to offer.
Your Brother,
Emilio Torres

Well, I feel like I might be talking to myself here as the last 4 messages sent on this channel have all been from me but oh well... here we go. First I made my first donation of 50 million credits last night to our cause. It was given to the Altenaria. Secondly I purchased a Corsair GB last evening and she is locked and loaded ready to dispatch our enemies. Her ship id is El_Asesino[TBH] (the killer). Oh and Canonera, Venger and myself dispatched Maniac from the NovaPG last night, the coward kept trying to run but on his last attempt to do so, he was destroyed by myself. Long live the Brotherhood.

Emilio, the Elders are grateful for your donation, helping all our new member is quite costy these days, so every last credit is highly appreciated.
Great news about your new GB, I have flown with brothers neXus, Costello, Montoya and Castillo when they used their gunboats, and I must say it's an amazing tool to achieve our plans. Consult brother Montoya for the best loadout, he spent a lot of time on it and we all followed his recommendations.
NovaPG's, they are brave when they fly in groups, but tend to run, when alone. However, beware of their torpedoes, as they are deadly to out Titans once the shield is down.
Hope you are successful with that trading company of yours...
I would greatly appreciate the help with finding the correct load-out for my GB. Right now I have a Razor, 2 Nomad Turrets, 2 Order Turrets and 2 Cerebrus Turrets. It kills my energy real quick although doing quite substantial damage to my targets. I only use the Razor when going against GB's and BS's. Montoya, hopefully I see you in space soon so we can discuss the correct layout.

Please do not post weapons information on open comms, you never know who might be listening in...
I am currently stuck planetside Emilio, but I will send you the weapons loadout and where to buy the equipment. I find the Infernos to be underpowered of late and as such prefer a loadout which is balanced enough to take on fighters, bombers and gunboats.
The loadout even works against cruisers provided you arent shot by its main guns, but we need to be in packs to take down battleships.
The information should arrive in your mailbox soon Torres.
