Greetings esteemed Elders of the Corsair Empire,
It has been a long time since we have spoken,
I see Crete has flourished greatly since we begin our specialised tours, indeed Cretan culture is beginning to fascinate the populace though recent issues have somewhat stunted our visits. Sadly this message is not to discuss the prosperity we are both sharing but the hardships now faced by the Zoners and the attack upon Freeport 11.
As long time servicers of the Freeports and the Zoner people we have recently been contacted to aid in the reconstruction efforts by transporting Specialists to the Research Station in Omicron Kappa. Naturally the safest route would take us directly through Corsair space which if you would permit us to cross, we would be willing to pay up to 100 million for such a privilage whilst earning the gratitude of the Zoners and ourselves.
Yours,
Henry Pines

I find myself pretty baffled by what's going on in Delta, all the turmoil happening immediately after my medical leave. The Custodi do not take sides in this event, however I recognise that humanitarian aid is sometimes necessary and as such the Custodi will not intercept your transports in passing through Omicron Gamma.
That said though, Crete has its own problems and anyone who doesn't help us solve those problems can't be openly welcome in the Corsair space. I hear the OSC had been working with the Corsairs before so you already ought to know what we need and what we can give in exchange.
So to summarise, as long as you can bring food to our people, we will make sure you pass through the Corsair territory unscathed. The Elders might put forward their own demands though.

Pepe "El Comisario" Ladron, just after one of his endless press conferences
Well hello, Senor Pines! Long time no see.*recalls some situations during Gran Canaria conflict*
We are totally blasted by Core's impact on security in Omicrons and generally their lack of respect of personal freedoms. I know our chilli sausage factories at Gran Canaria had never opened their gates to independent investigators for missing people, but what Core did is even more outrageous. We almost see them as our evil competition. That FREE-port in Delta is just another victim of corporate cruelties. And of course, we will help to make it right. And your gratitude we will even share with our kind Attica neighbours - Custodi. *nods*
2. Other 50 millions send to an account Senor Augustopolos will tell you
Oh and one more thing, Senor Pines. I lost my stock of Nutella recently in Delta. In case you find any crate with it, floating alone, sad and cold in Delta, would you be so kind to return it to it's righteous owner (me)? Gracias in advance.
*Pepe nods and reaches OFF button with his hairy macho hand. Button thinks "wooow" and cracks a bit*

Thank you Mr Augustopolos and Mr Ladron,
Rest assured, I will dispatch a convoy of our finest foods to Crete in return of your generosity and perhaps establish something more consistent once this situation has been dealth with. I will issue the payment to the Brotherhood at once and await Mr Augustopolos reply.
If that is the wish of the Council, I will not object to it, however we will likely use those credits to pay out premiums for the food delivered. Regardless, you're welcome to forward the payment to C::LV-Aesop.
