Chris,
Wonderful to see you back! I was worried you'd died or something. Fantastic that you didn't.
One of my transport captains dropped a load of Cardamine from our plantations direct to Buffalo, delivery manifests are attached. There's a little extra in there as you've got such a fabulous mustache. You're more than welcome to pick it up from our plantations yourself.
If you do happen to find yourself on Malta, let me know, eh? I'd love to get to know you a little better.

Dear ladies, this is Hamilton again. It's been a while since our last conversation. I hope you are doing well.
I believe you heard the latest news about "Insurgency" but if you did not - then I briefly introduce a brave new brand of Libertorian defection - a result of the merger of good old Hellfire Legion and green rookies of the battlegroup Harmony. If you already laugh - that does not end yet. So, there is a chance that the Harmony, that usually sided us in raids against mighty Liberty armada of shiny scrap, might turn their guns against us because of their new friends from the club of big blade lovers.
We, the Rogues, don't want to be stabbed by a bunch of defectors. We are about quality and high skill, you know. However, even our skills won't be enough for multifront conflict with "loyalists" and "insurgency", should the second ones turn hostile. We need your help, dear allies. I am not asking you to send your capital ships or risk pilots in Liberty, so far from Malta, I know that every Maltese life is sacred for you.
I am asking you to provide us with skilled mentors who can teach our rookies, maybe oldies too, new tricks which we could use during the combat. Our ask contains small craft pilots and capital craft captains. In return, we can offer a big discount for slaves we are delivering to your families and cartels. I mean, to those who will be engaged in this... let's call this experience exchange programme.
Should you agree with our proposal and answer the call for friendly help we also will be ready to provide mentors with the best available quarters and Cardamine for their needs.
I hope your kisses are meant for my ass, otherwise, I won't accept any. I did not hear anything about it, but thanks for providing info. Generally speaking, you always tend to support the weaker side against the stronger side whenever your enemies are fighting. If Liberty Navy so wishes to kill each other, I will only cheer and make a toast. In the coming weeks, I will inspect the Liberty personally to see how things with this so-called insurgency go. Merger groups are usually quite random and not very well organized.
To be fair, I find it weird that you request aid before you have got into any hostilities. You will have what you desire anyway since operations of the Guard will be moving back to independent and border worlds once more. So your guys could take some lessons and such.
So, what reasons do you have to believe that so-called insurgency can go hostile? Or it's just pure speculation?

Chris,
Wonderful to hear from you again, I'd heard about this so called 'Insurgency', causing havoc with moving Cardamine through California lately. Massive pain in the rear I tell you.
Now, I cannot speak for the Hellfire Legion, I have not had any direct experience with them nor any contact whatsoever. The Battlegroup has been somewhat amicable to our communications however, they had always been fairly distant and not really all that relevant to us. I had hoped to try and establish relations with this new group provided they survive whatever the hell is going on down there at the moment.
As for your proposal, I see no reason why we couldn't offer such support to you. Your particular group has been useful so far to us and you're showing initiative by coming to us with such a request. Its nice to finally meet a Rogue with a brain.

Miss Loyola, are you really into such stuff? I mean, I can do that but my hard moustache can harm your pretty ass, you know. Jokes aside, my dear, I understand that anyone can have a hard period in his or her life, that's part of our nature. I feel no offence, really!
Yesterday we had the skirmish with Liberty Navy forces in California and the Harmony, alongside Maltese from the Imperial Coalition. Together we managed to commit heavy damage for their fancy shiny ships. That's what I want to have, to fight these ret*rded dogs and win. I hope you understand me. However, there is an extremely small chance that something may go wrong and they, the Harmony, will turntable and start shooting us, the Rogues. If this will happen, I want me and my people to be ready for a fight and meet them with brave new tactics, they never have seen before. You get me, I hope?
I am not stupid Dickson or whoever leads the "united" rogues and think he is unbeatable as well as his high ret*rds under Nox, mixed with vodka and Nomads' burp. I want my people to be as good as possible and I will do all possible to make them elite buccaneers, not just a bunch of drunken retards as the pack in question is.
Alana... I mean, Miss Leoz could see what my guys are capable of. I want them to be ten times better. Hope you are getting me, Donna Loyola, because I was not born Maltese and so I have not advantages of your physiology as well as your disadvantages. I am just a human who wants my guys to survive the mess and enjoy life after it: girls, boys, Cardamine, drink, et cetera.
Miss Leoz, Alana, I hope you are doing well. I just received notice about another's pack. What happened? Why are they in the bounty board now?
Speaking of discounts, I think the reduction of the slaves' price for 25% is a good offer? I mean, let's discuss this part. I can even invite some guys who are more engaged in the slaves' trade than me. I usually just blow up things around.
You almost sound like you are worried. You have proven to be useful for our trade and it means that you will have us by your side if some shit will start to go down. Dixon is an idiot and his guys seem to be crossing the line. In any event, the family declares full support to your group and if someone will dare to threaten the trade, they will be dealt with.

Alana, I'm sorry for disappearing with no word said. I tried to change my life, but life didn't want to change. Seems like the way of the Rogue is the only way I can follow.
Anyway, let's skip philosophic sophistication and cut straight to the business, shall we? The Navy seems to think they have restored order within liberty and have safely put us under hell heel, what joyous naivety. They continue to spread their patrols further and further, endangering cardamine more and more by the day, the time has come for us to remind them of their place, and that outside of that fancy defense grid of theirs, they own nothing at all.
The Boss would like to discuss important matters in a separate communique with you and yours. Do you mind if we establish that channel?
