Blood on your hands
Buenos dias, respected doctors. *image is flickering, like when huge guns made of scrap are firing*
Looks like you have our blood on your hands. Si, I wouldn't believe if I wasn't there.
We pilots and captains were offended first, by you calling names to Imperial Armada:
[26.09.2020 20:20:52] /+\-Ketamine: You know you people should stop shooting the guild.
[26.09.2020 20:21:00] /+\-Ketamine: They are very helpful people.
[26.09.2020 20:21:08] /+\-Ketamine: Unlike you mud dwelling morons.
[26.09.2020 20:21:25] /+\-Ketamine: Stop making capitals and start producing food.
Looks like you picked your side. Then you took lives of this Imperial vessels crews:
[26.09.2020 20:22:46] CV-Kymmeru|0216: can't escape
[26.09.2020 20:22:52] Death: CV-Kymmeru|0216 was put out of action by /+\-Ketamine(Gun).
You picked worst possible moment to put el knife in our back. We will shoot back immediately and take as many of your lives as we can. In days that follow our bases will open fire on your vessels passing by. We will take Kurile soon and then we will turn our mighty cannons to Atka. I will take all the blue pills from your cold dead hands.
No, it's not a hate you sense in my voice. I just want your funny blue pills.

Ladron,
Ironically, this communication doesn’t come as a surprise, but not for the reasons you or I would reasonably expect. It seems you’ve been giving your people orders to target Cryer vessels for some time.
[16.09.2020 00:07:52] elCorsario: scan your ship
[16.09.2020 00:07:56] /+\-Dextromethorphan: Hoy, Corsair. You harassing our transport?
[16.09.2020 00:08:00] /+\-Ketamine: You got a problem?
[16.09.2020 00:08:05] /+\-Hypoesthesia: Sabella: Hold on a moment, since when has Cryer ever had a problem with the Corsairs?
[16.09.2020 00:08:09] /+\-Dextromethorphan: They haven't.
[16.09.2020 00:08:10] /+\-Hypoesthesia: Sabella: I thought we had a deal!
[16.09.2020 00:08:12] elCorsario: i think you have problem
[16.09.2020 00:08:21] elCorsario: need pay my
[16.09.2020 00:08:23] /+\-Dextromethorphan: Look, buddy. Only one with problems here is you.
[16.09.2020 00:08:40] elCorsario: ok 5 mil and no problem
[16.09.2020 00:09:03] elCorsario: you ready pay ?
[16.09.2020 00:09:17] /+\-Hypoesthesia: Sabella: For hauling Oxygen!?
[25.09.2020 06:59:21] CV-Kymmeru_|0216: There ya are, dear Cryer monkey
[25.09.2020 06:59:34] /+\-Stable.Stabiline: Uh-huh.
[25.09.2020 06:59:40] /+\-Stable.Stabiline: Right.
[25.09.2020 06:59:43] CV-Kymmeru_|0216: lets settle down
[25.09.2020 06:59:53] /+\-Stable.Stabiline: Oh, I'm real calm right now.
[25.09.2020 07:00:18] CV-Kymmeru_|0216: lets come to an arrange ment no?
[25.09.2020 07:00:31] /+\-Stable.Stabiline: Like?
[25.09.2020 07:01:04] CV-Kymmeru_|0216: something that buys me a few drinks at the next freeport
[25.09.2020 07:01:21] [2020-09-25] 07:01:09 You have sent 10.000.000 credits to CV-Kymmeru_|0216.
[25.09.2020 07:01:22] /+\-Stable.Stabiline: Sure.
[25.09.2020 07:01:27] /+\-Stable.Stabiline: Mind bailing? I got a schedule to keep.
[25.09.2020 07:01:30] CV-Kymmeru_|0216: that'll do nicely
[25.09.2020 07:01:39] CV-Kymmeru_|0216: fair winds
[26.09.2020 23:16:23] Castillo.Enterprise: ah senor
[26.09.2020 23:16:42] /+\-Chikungunya: Florian: "Senor" is it?
[26.09.2020 23:16:50] Castillo.Enterprise: I would...oh, is it not senor?
[26.09.2020 23:17:09] Castillo.Enterprise: I am sorry, but due to the orders of my elders, you must not survive this encounter.
[26.09.2020 23:17:36] /+\-Chikungunya: Florian: We must be having discussions with different Elders.
[26.09.2020 23:17:48] Castillo.Enterprise: that must be the case?
[26.09.2020 23:18:05] Castillo.Enterprise: or your own organization has initiated conflict with mine?
[26.09.2020 23:18:24] /+\-Chikungunya: Florian: Not that I'm aware of.
[26.09.2020 23:18:28] Castillo.Enterprise: I was under the impression that yours was suppling us with much needed supplements.
[26.09.2020 23:19:00] Castillo.Enterprise: But alas, we do not have the peace any longer. Unarmed ships have been destroyed by your own corporation.
[26.09.2020 23:19:17] /+\-Chikungunya: Florian: Truly? How would you know?
[26.09.2020 23:19:22] Castillo.Enterprise: Please eject and I will see you home
[26.09.2020 23:20:02] Castillo.Enterprise: logs transmitted home by the Barcelona herself, seen by her radar array and commsmen.
[26.09.2020 23:20:32] /+\-Chikungunya: Florian: Interesting. But I've seen worse excuses.
[26.09.2020 23:20:43] CV-Kymmeru_|0216: You've found a Cryer slave
[26.09.2020 23:20:47] Castillo.Enterprise: where as here, you must depend on the ageira lanes to get any messages home. Please, let us take yourself and your crew to
[26.09.2020 23:20:53] Castillo.Enterprise: to safety.
[26.09.2020 23:21:36] /+\-Chikungunya: Florian: I doubt we'll be in the same position to see each other "home" if you get my meaning.
[26.09.2020 23:21:58] Castillo.Enterprise: oh...home. I can likely get you to the freeport, at least.
[26.09.2020 23:22:18] Castillo.Enterprise: my time is up. my associates are not merciful.
[26.09.2020 23:22:33] /+\-Chikungunya: Florian: Associates is it?
[26.09.2020 23:22:34] Castillo.Enterprise: truth be told, they are better than I, soft as I am.
[26.09.2020 23:22:57] CV-Kymmeru_|0216: We have strict orders Enterprise
[26.09.2020 23:23:09] /+\-Chikungunya: Florian: Do tell.
[26.09.2020 23:23:09] CV-Kymmeru_|0216: they supply our downfall
[26.09.2020 23:23:27] /+\-Chikungunya: Florian: Really? You have intentions on Atka?
[26.09.2020 23:23:30] Castillo.Enterprise: that they do. I've offered you life, Cryer.
[26.09.2020 23:23:56] Castillo.Enterprise: I rather believe supporting a corporation that cuts off our own supply of rations is enough.
[26.09.2020 23:24:41] /+\-Chikungunya: Florian: I find it odd that you don't seem to find it odd.
[26.09.2020 23:24:53] Castillo.Enterprise: I find it disgusting and sad.
[26.09.2020 23:25:01] Castillo.Enterprise: but I also find it is the thing I must doe.
[26.09.2020 23:25:13] Castillo.Enterprise: if you'll escuse me. Senor, I am sorry.
[26.09.2020 23:25:17] /+\-Chikungunya: Florian: If you leave Atka out of your hispanic squabbling, we'll have no qualms.
[26.09.2020 23:25:26] Death: /+\-Chikungunya was put out of action by Castillo.Enterprise (Gun).
It appears the only knife you might be familiar with is the one you’ve held against our vessels to the disgust of your own men. I’d expect more, but I find myself consistently disappointed when I have expectations. The preservation of Atka has been and will be our only priority while the former Hispania continues to fall apart in a different system on a different day. Don’t lie to yourself about who cracked which button first. It is clear we’ve become your priority.
I find it odd that you don't seem to find it odd.
Regardless, I would have also expected you to have the cojones to approach us ahead of time with your intentions. I can see why you need your blue pills. As it seems the crew of the CV-Kymmeru|0216 is alive and well, I’d suggest that your communications assets get in touch with tech support.

Blood on your hands
So, senor Florian... *image is flickering, like when huge guns made of scrap are firing*
you were sure we suddenly started a war against a nice company we traditionally had good cooperation with and we did it without any warning, clarification, or declaration. And instead of checking that with us, you simply sent your company's warships to hunt my people, without any warning, clarification, or declaration.
I also see you were taxed by independent Corsairs and forgot your duty about telling us of that. Why would you want to not shake that tree? What would fall on our heads? Were your ships shooting on my people also independent? They looked like being part of your command chain and I'm sure company like yours has one.
And from your report I can't see what were your ships carrying. Oxygen? Caramba, who would trust in that? We all know storks bring oxygen. Can you prove you are not supplying our enemies under cover of el night, while our pilots and crews are bleeding to free Kurile? I'm sure those independents saw something, but I can't locate them, or their scanning manifests.
I hope you will answer my questions soon, so less of your ships will be shredded by our huge guns while you are thinking how to talk yourself out.

Ladron,
I don’t expect you to micromanage your people every moment of every day, so we generally let small instances such as some of those you’ve seen slide without resulting to chest-beating and gun-waving. It’s the way of the world and nothing worth getting bent out of shape about. When it happens more consistently and blatantly under specific orders, though, we find ourselves where we are.
If you’re concerned as to whether Cryer is supplying those you call enemies, you’re welcome to meet one of our transports yourself. I would find it suspicious if something truly concerning went without reporting by multiple Corsair pilots on numerous occasions, but it seems you’re set on assuming something that hasn’t happened. I welcome you to ask your own pilots how many tons of production and research equipment they had to search through when deciding whether to engage our ships.
Our current situation is fairly straightforward. We are concerned with preserving Atka, all of our efforts are focused on succeeding in that task, and our pilots will defend themselves and our assets if they need to against friend or foe. I’m sure you can understand that. If you’ll look again at what we’ve provided, you’ll find the particular ship you saw taken down has either engaged or threatened Cryer assets numerous times. Consider this “shaking the tree,” so we’ll see what falls out of it.
Ultimately, the choice is yours. If your Corsairs engage or threaten to engage Cryer vessels, you can assume how we will react. As we’ve had to increase our patrols and protection efforts, we often find ourselves in range of Guild pilots. We can’t allow others to be suspicious of our relationship and would not expect you to do so either. Some engagements are to be expected to save face. Such is the reality of our predicament.
I don’t know what other information we can give you that either your pilots have refused to provide or are unwilling to recognize because they’re looking for a fight. We’ve a bit of experience letting water run off our backs and have no intent of holding a grudge - assuming Atka survives and we’re not further hampered by people “we traditionally had good cooperation with.”
“Warships” would probably be a generous term, so I’ll let it slide and thank you for the compliment.

Ok, senor Florian... *image is flickering, like when huge guns made of scrap are firing*
You almost convinced me to not simply drop several teams of our best Tuareg cutthroat assassins to Atka, ya know. All we would ask for is el small token of your real friendship. How about you help us bring some combat rations from Crete? Let's say...
- 20.000 combat rations to Barcelona in next 24h
- 30.000 more before Sunday midnight
In that case you'd certainly prove I was wrong for targeting your friendly ships, but not by your smart words. I'd prefer your deeds. I mean, your ships can haul, not just shoot, si?
And don't forget vitamins on your return. You do vitamins deliveries, si?

Ladron,
I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you’ve been listening to our correspondence before opening your comms, so I appreciate your efforts to avoid the issue before us.
It may be a different discussion if you had the fortitude to admit you’ve gone out of your way for a significant amount of time to hinder defense of our assets in Sigma-17. Or you could have the fortitude to tell us your true intentions regarding Atka. Or you could admit you have no control over your men for their actions. Or you could deny these things. It seems difficult for you to do any of them, so I suppose that tells us all we need to know.
Unfortunately, since you continue to encourage your people to intercept our ships, I must apologize that we now have none to spare. On top of it, to assume our pilots would even want to abandon Sigma-17 in the current situation, let alone dock with those who are trying to kill them, shows a level of ignorance I thought impossible. Your pilots have no such shame, we’ve seen.
You have a habit of failing to take responsibility for your actions. In the words of you own men, “I find it disgusting and sad.”
We won’t be moving any materials other than those bound for Atka.
