TO: Leadership of the MNS, as well as any Don who cares to listen.
Ahoy, mes amigos Outcastos. Buenos dias.
As many of ye know, for years my crew and I hae enjoyed th' favor of Maltese hospitality.
We hae hauled uncounted tons o' scrap to yon yards at Valetta, as well as, an' p'raps just as importantly, well o'er a million *cough* workers *grins* hae been carried to yon Cardi fields by me fine crew aboard th' Wake.
At one time, me ship were on the 'Don's List' and allowed free dockin' an' berth, fer all'a work we done for ye'z.
Oi'd like ter lean 'pon this old relationship a wee bit an' ask that ye see to a pack o' independent Outcasts what's been feeding off of the .:j:.Junker's Congress, as well as meself of late. These bilge rats callsigns are as follows: Chesan
Chimchiminijiq
K-Wing
deltaii1
These buggers hae destroyed me personal Pilgrim liner, th' Wake, as well as other Congress craft, an' continue ter annoy both Congress an' the Lane Hackers o' Liberty. See this comm-log.
Oi'd like ter ask that ye lot keep yer eyes peeled fer these rats what'll ignore the long standing relationship both myself as well as the Congress have held with you, and openly attack us.
P'raps e'en see that these attacks stop.
Now I dinnae ask tha' ye lot hunt them doon, nor do anything more'n p'raps have a wee talk with them should they show their ugly mugs 'round Malta.
I've taken steps to see that they dont spend a dsay unharassed until theyve payed the Congress 5million creds in fines each, as well as refinanced a new Pilgrim liner for myself. See this bounty here.
Ef ye lot could spare an old space-salt as meself a minute or two ter read this o'er an' even lend aid to long time allies, t'would be most appreciated.
With my thanks,
.:j:.

I'm going to respond in the fashion I respond to most of these requests:
Self defense.
We don't have the resources and the manpower to hunt down these isolates who feel that their agenda is above all others'. So what I'm going to do is give the Junker Congress all the freedom they want to deal with these ruffians themselves. Be creative when it comes to your vengeance.
*A smiling Tim Finnegan steeples his fingers before him*
Top o' th' mornin' to ye'z Admiral.
Oi thankee fer th' response, an' fer th' carte blanche ye've offered.
I'll be sure ta open me chest o' surprises fer these louts. Ye can bank onnat.
I'll be sure'n return any hardware what survives to yer yards at Valetta.
*Finn thrums his fingers on the desktop*
Just so'z we're clear, ef ye study yon dispatch, nowhere in it does Oi ask ye lot ter hunt these 'ere barsterds, nor ta spend a red credit goon oota yer way fer 'em.
Nay, only just ter -should ye see them in yer neck o' th' woods- p'raps teach em some manners. *grins toothily*
Still an' all, ef ye be nae willin' ter spend a moment teachin' yon feckless wonders the meaning o' long-term-relationships, I'll be glad ter do it meself.
N' I'll be sure ta move some scrap n' workers yer way in th' very near future fer yer consideration, aye.
T'any rate, lad, erm... Admiral, Oi'll be seein' ye'z 'round aboot. Tha' also, ye can bank on.
Clear skies to ye n' yers.
Wake ou--- Bah! Me Wake's been shot out from under me... by bloody Outcasts no less! *fumes* ...Finnegan, out.

I won't lie to you, but we are in no real position to discipline the unruly individuals. Things in Alpha are already as hectic as it is. I swear to you that I spent five minutes explaining to a rather ignorant Outcast and a Blood Dragon that the Dragons were not allowed in our space. Did the fact that I was an Admiral help this case? No. Did it help that I was a member of the Maltese government? No. Did it help that I direct and dictate the lives of these hapless cats that litter about and hopefully meander in the direction they are supposed to go in order to get a tactical advantage? Not at all.
They harbor as much respect for us as they do for everyone else around them; which is none at all. If we do happen to see them, I can assure you that they will be dealt with. But this is only a tertiary, even quadrary concern.
I don't want to seem like I'm griping, but I just want to inform you that this ranks relatively low in the list of concerns that run across my slate. We do appreciate the extended service you and the Junkers have done for the Nation, so I do believe that I'll add extra care in this situation. I'll dispatch a pilot to personally deal with this.

Righto Admiral. *grins toothily*
Oi'd like ta thank ye fer takin' th' time, amidst all'o yer mess n' runction.
Oi've had th' Invergordon Yards complete me anovver Pilgrim liner, an' thought it fitting ter make her maiden voyage a tribute to 'yon Maltese nation.

As ye can see, Oi've brung ye some goodies, free o' charge.
Oi'm 'avin me hold loaded up wif Orange bound fer New York as we speak.
Me next run will be some scrap from our efforts in New London for Valetta yards.
Hopefully this 'ere makes it a wee bet more worthy o' yer Admiralship's time n' efforts.
Oi thankee fer all ye've done, an' will do, in defense of our long standin' relationship. *bows deeply*
-Wake out.
