it must have saddened you to see the three rescue pods you were able to intercept weren't containing your new lovely girlfriend. I made it safely to Cadiz, and soon we will bring the rest of the Sokol here.
You're a charming man, Admiral. I love charming men. Reminds me of the Captain of the Holmfirth. What a charming man, demanding me to strip for him. Or the Captain, I forgot his name, of the battleship the Sokol destroyed two days ago. It was charming to see him die.
All I wanted to tell you, my dear Admiral, is that I will look forward to have more charming encounters with you. And I will get my three crewmen back, although I don't mind a few less mouths to feed.
Is that really all you care for, my dear? No, the evidence is as gone as the beauty I used to store it on. Your McKinley is a clever boy, my dear admiral, as he was the one to destroy it. However, it is a certain pattern within the Bretonian Armed Forces, isn't it? Demanding a girl to strip for their pleasure? I remember a neural net channel that somehow turned public in the entirety of Bretonia.
Maybe some day you will ask me to strip for you, my dear admiral.

Miss Vyu,
Your no less than sweet words have touched and changed my heart. It was discourteous of me to force you into a battle and especially into a defeat yesterday on the 8th of March, a lady as fine as you. And in return, you are being kind to me.
I can redeem myself. I have never met a Corsair with such good manners and taste before, and that is a great pity for your nation. If people like you were at the head of it, so respectful even to their enemies, perhaps you would make alliances, which you currently lack so disastrously, with much more ease. You must be destined for great things.
Have you ever wanted to lead the Corsair armadas into victory, instead of its current, proven incapable commanders, who, so far, have only been leading them into one deep abyss?
A reason, my dear admiral. I need one. A good one.
I have good reason to pirate traders in the Omegas. My planet needs me, and when Pauley of the Holmey decided to turn against me after some flirting, I now need what my planet can offer. And that is the means to meet more charming bretonian people. I got my hand on the Sokol, again, and I hope to see McKinley again. But that is just my personal motive, my dear admiral.
Why would I drag the Mighty Fleet into this? For what? To see Bretonia rebuilding their fleets in a few weeks, over and over again? To send just another generation of recruits and baby captains after us? My dear admiral dad, I don't think so.
Although I always was curious what makes Bretonia so interested in Sprague and Omega-3 in general. The IMG gets the majority of the local ressources. Either you have a good deal with them, and I mean a REALLY good deal, or there is something important in Omega-3. Something worth stationing a battleship and weapon platforms in its orbit.
What is the secret of Sprague, my dear? Tell me, and maybe I strip for you when you visit me on Crete...

Miss Vyu,
You offered me to strip for me after calling me "dad". Are you interested in a reasonable discussion about how we can gain from each other, or you think that you can defeat me by wasting my time?
I offered you to help you become a leader of your people. Do you want that, or not?
What would you get from me leading the Mighty Fleet with efficiency? Do you seek a challenge that ambitious that you risk the lifes of your own citizens? The Elders of Crete are a joke, and it is no surprise we didn't set New London on fire yet. They may know to use their Titans, especially the lovely Hector, a beast of manliness I can't wait to peg. However they have no idea how to unleash the full potential of their warships. Why would you want to change that? Where is the catch, my love?

Miss Vyu,
What I would get is someone who treats enemies and prisoners less brutally than Beltran, and someone more open to negotiations. Someone who will remember my help too, hopefully.
As of Sprague, there really is nothing to hide. The reason why it is so strongly protected is that it is the only habitable planet in the sector. That is what it has in common with Planet Tangier, one much closer to your homeland. I believe that it is also heavily guarded. Does Tangier not interest you more?
M̴̰̪̜̞̝̥̟̘̊̃̽˞̤̻̯̰̼̠̠̽̈̚y̜̙̞̠̺̺̻̽˞̴ ˞̴̼̯̃l˞̪̺̻̤̈ȍ̩̀̄ṽ̴̚˞e˞̪̙̞,̴̰̃ l̤̈̽e̠̠̹t̞̘˞'̼s̴̝̙̹̬̬ p̬̥̋r̜ẽt̴e˞n̚d̼ I am interested in leading a bunch of chaotics into the battlefield. How would you think you can make that happen? How do you think the Brotherhood and the Elders will allow a foreign and little beauty like me to lead their warships? The only thing I can imagine is making them a nice present. Like a bretonian war hero. Like you, my dear love. Would you be willing to surrender yourself to me?
I would make sure you would love the place where they will put you. That is, if you don't end up in a C̺h˞ĩ̴̻̟̼̽l̤̪˞ĩ̴ˡ̚ S̥̜̠̹̬̞̪̺̩a̩̟̜̙̺̻u̠̠̩̪̙̬s̴̯˞a̽˞g̰̟̞̠̩e̩̠ ̤F̈̚a̩ct˞or̴y. They always could use some additional hands there. Although I am certain your hands are more useful and skilled in other aspects, my heroic admiral.
I don't care about Tangier or the stupid hessians. They have enough fun with the Rhine. All eyes are on you and Sprague, and I would like to pay the planet a visit.
Alternatively, you could send me a nice image of yours. I'm sure Beltran would love to get a poster for his dart club. The queen carina poster has too many holes now.

Miss Vyu,
You currently are a foreign and little beauty commanding a warship, and a very powerful one, too. In the Corsair society, as far as I believe, one cam become a leader through connections, bribery and blackmail, or through triumph on the field of battle, so you must be good at least one of those. I can help you be better with the last. Not against my forces, of course. I see that you are very interested in Sprague, but being very interested is as good as you can do, because it is not your people who control the way to the planet, but your enemies. It is the stupid Hessians, and they will thwart any of your attempts to take it for yourself. They must be routed first. Thus, I advise you to firstly start small operations against their weaker allies, the Coalition, in Omega-49.I hear that your fleets have shamefully retreated from there, so retaking it will acquire the fame you will need to depose that cunctator of a Beltran and finally drive the Hessians out of the Omegas with an all-out attack. Then you will have Sprague in your sight. You can count on our support during the Omega-49 phase, during which we will keep the Mollies busy.
Of course, you might wonder why I want you to endanger Sprague in the first place. I do not, at least while I am in charge of the southern defenses. During your operations against the Hessians, you will be too busy to raid Bretonian commerce, so I will enjoy peace. When you finally handle the Hessians, I will probably already be enjoying a happy retirement, and someone else will be in charge of the South. We can both provide each other enjoyment, do you not agree?
