Hola, dear leaders of Corsairs.
Our vessel, "Scyldtruma.Animalis" had an interesting encounter with your pilots today! While moving into Omicron Theta, in New London orbit; we were attacked by a BMM transport. We have engaged retaliative fire, and the transport was destroyed by your pilots. I am grateful for that!
After the encounter, Pepe Ladron has escorted me all the way back to Omicron Theta. While on the move, we talked about... lots of things. The Scyldtruma Animalis is different from our other ships. It's simply an animal shelter. We are healing and monitoring common and gaian animals here. It costs us an extensive amount of money. We would be very flattered if the dons were to take a look at our broadcast! Adoption Programme
Senor Ladron has informed us that you would be interested in this matter, and potential transfer of Gaian animals to Omicron systems/uncharted planets/charted planets. We as the crew of "Scyldtruma Animalis" do not represent the whole movement, but we are in close contact with our leader, and he will be the main decider on this matter. However, we may provide you with samples of our beloved animals, and work our way from there.
Thank you for your interest in this delicate matter, senor. We wish to hear back from you.
Helping Gaia
Buenos dias, respected capitan of N|-Scyldtruma.Animalis. *diplomatic Latino wink*
As far as I remember, there was no situation where Gaians didn't help Corsair people and vice versa. We will just continue in that fashion and I can suggest several solutions for saving more than one animal right now:
1. Badgers
Our nation is well known for rather stealing animals, than having husbandry of our own. That's not entirely true. We just can't take care about animals that need pastures and woods we don't have, but fire lizards we grow and use at Amorgos moon in Xi. They like caves and tunnels and are very useful in tomb raiding for Artifacts there. There is el issue however. Best samples of Artifacts they insist to keep for themselves, like nomad weapon and cloak parts. And trying to take something from el fire lizard by force is mucho bad business.
So... in case you have any moles, badgers, or other underground creatures that we can train to tomb raid for Artifacts, we can accommodate a thousand of them at Amorgos. They will be well taken care of and have huge freedom to dwell our cave networks.
2. Biodomes
Using our superior scrap engineering technology, we can construct massive biodomes at every base of ours and even in Crete orbit later. But... that's all - for now. About supplying them with needed energy and making self-sustaining ecosystems we know nothing. You mentioning CUMEC capsules gave me el brilliant idea. Could CUMEC be made large scale? Could it provide shelter for many dozens of sensitive Gaian animals, but also robust ecosystem where we could grow food in space, like grain and potatoes? We could help each other a lot, if you say yes.
Small cases, like adopting one by one animal we will solve via your Adopting Programme. For us it's very important Gaians know Brotherhood remained loyal ally in good and in bad, no matter we had to let Custodi minority make their own diplomacy. You surely understand peace on Crete is our priority.

Thank you for the response, senor.
In first matter, we are fully against manipulation of Gaian Wildlife towards any human benefit. However, we are always having small number of common sirian badgers/moles in our hospital. It will take at least 15 days before we can get to a number of your maximum capacity. Me, as a scientist, i have no idea how they are used in artifact hunt; so we would love to discuss this matter more with you. Our superiors will be notified, and the decision will be made by them.
Regarding large scale CUMEC systems; that is sadly; looking like "not" possible. We are developing our CUMEC systems from smuggled fauna of Planet Gaia. We would need at least 50.000 units of smuggled Gaian Fauna and hijacked Planetform Equipment to even start and consider building "one" big ecosystem. And we believe it would not possible with current technology of ours. We are only capable of building small ones, and they cost nearly 1-2Million to operate daily. It is a big burden that we can not handle right now. This matter is always discussed internally.
Regarding adoption of small number of Gaian Wildlife, please respond to the Sirius Wide communication channel if you would donate.You would be helping a good cause; so we are very humbled that great leaders consider donating to our cause. We can arrange a time to transfer a small CUMEC system to a station/planet of your choice. They will be released into the wild(if possible) after 10-20 days.
Helping Gaia
Ah, good to know, respected capitan of N|-Scyldtruma.Animalis. *disappointment*
But, let's keep this biodomes suggestion open, just in case we make some breakthrough in that direction.
I'll put more light at how we use animals for Artifact tomb raiding business. Fire lizards are desert specimen and they were inhabiting Crete for thousands or millions of years before we arrived. They surely experienced food shortages that forced them to feed on Artifacts. Millenniums of evolution made them able to search and recognise good ones. They made some kind of deal with nature: lizards are to receive life energy from Artifacts and vice versa. Lizards able to cohabitate with Artifacts were leaving stronger offspring and that offspring were able to use Artifacts too. They are now best natural born Artifact hunters known to man.
Our people recognised the opportunity to use fire lizards to search for Artifacts. That's main business on Crete, so they are very well taken care of, well fed and even amused. We keep them in caves, their natural surrounding. And common Artifact hunters believe that only happy fire lizard is able to find really good Artifacts. So, they bring mariachi bands and make fiestas with lot of food for lizards, while they dance with hands on their ears and shoot blasters in the air. Well, sometimes they shoot at band. But, it's normal on Crete.
This all brings us to a desert creature, peaceful to its real nature, being able to fire nomad rays from their eyes when pissed off. And best way to piss off a fire lizard is to take a good Artifact from its hands. It makes them good for business, but far from perfect. Picture shows bodycamera shots after some Artifact tomb raider from Amorgos tried to take something from fire lizard's hands. That's what he saw last.

Senor Pepe, we are always looking to improve and we know the hardworking nature of 'sair people.
We would love to pay a visit to your "Fire Lizard" sanctuary, analyse their behaviors. Myself do not know much about them.
We are currently in Freeport 1, Nottingham. If you were to have a recruit that could escort us to Planet Crete, we would be delighted to see the current situation regarding Fire Lizards and setting small scale "CUMEC" systems that we can analyse how our animals and your people can benefit on this matter.
We are very saddened to hear that some corsair pilots have discussed these animals as "food". Killing of these animals is a red zone for us. We need to hear an official statement that condemns eating of Gaian Wildlife before setting a CUMEC system on your planet.
Are you very saddened to hear that some corsair pilots have discussed these animals as "food"? Why would a lady of your level pay attention what our pirates are mumbling about? I'm eldering a pirate empire here and must talk to my ally about space pirates sexistic jokes?
Did I ever ask you about Nemesis pilots I met in Dublin last year, not even knowing we are allies to Gaians?
However, to show how hard is to butthurt me, I will personally escort you and take care of your fine ears not hearing more space pirate jokes. My personal and very private channel is Pepe#3515, so we can settle the time that suits us both.
P.S. We also don't eat people (any more). Baby burrito we call like that because it's small.
*he pressed off button with his hairy macho hand. Button felt a short pain and cracked, thinking: I hope this will end well.*

You mean me Pepe? The Leader of Nemesis? I am the one you met back in Dublin, and my opinion still stands, I am sympathetic to your people's plight but that doesn't mean I forgive Your Nation for siding with The Gauls. You may have been Allies with The Gaian Guard, or some other Gaian Cell as for Nemesis, we consider you neutral at best.
I however will double down on what my good Doctor has said previously, until we see an official statement to the Corsair People outlawing the consumption of Gaian Wildlife and a corresponding amendment to the laws, none will ever set foot on Crete.
Your attitude shows where the relation issue is coming from. And it's you, senor. I really hope you are not evil, but just ill informed.
Let me put some light on two things:
1. Our nation never sided with planet scorchers. Neither our government did. Some of our non-Latino people did and we had to allow them as they were our Greek minority, an independent part of our Empire. That ended bad for them, as you surely know. Giving political freedoms to our minorities makes our Empire so great. I also know many independent pilots who were shooting BAF when Gallics did the same. Shooting BAF was their duty, simple as that. Putting it in contest of siding with Gallic forces is wrong. You will understand it better when you will have a pirate Empire to run. Until then, take my word, por favor: pure hearted Corsair can never be against Gaians.
2. Our menu bothers you? I repeat, we are not eating Gaian Wildlife. Corresponding amendment about it to Imperial laws would be silly. Do you have that amendment in your laws, senor Blackwood?

I will reiterate what I believe I have said in the past, and I hope it is clear, stay out of Bretonia and we can have a decent relationship, if I find you with in Bretonia then we may have problems.
I am not stupid however, I know some form of relation with your organization is beneficial, and any sort of outright hostilities would mostly end badly given your groups likely systemic knowledge of our hideouts in Bretonia. Unfortunately I am not the only one who holds a level of contempt for all of Crete. We feel as if we were betrayed in our darkest hour. We may never see our relations raised back to Pre-Gallic war levels but that doesn't mean I want you dead. You have proven to me that not all the people of Crete are double-crossing traitors. So here is what I propose:
I let the Good Doctor continue his work, only requirement is if you do end up with any number of Gaian Wildlife taking residency with your people in any capacity each must have a Gaian caretaker stay there with it to ensure it's safety. In return I will permit the Gaian Wildlife request and authorize shipments of food from our gardens on Torshavn to Crete.
If there is anything more to discuss then you can feel free to contact me via a more private channel.
