I would kindly ask you to stop sabotaging our economic and political interests, per favore. Your messages to the whole of Sirius are a wake-up call to all authorities tasked with disrupting our Network or our operations. You make life unnecessarily difficult not only for our intermediaries, but also for our own pilots carrying Cardamine long distances with minimal support. Last but not least, you make life difficult for me personally - it is rather difficult to expand our distribution Network in the shadow of messages like yours, Signor Spiteri.
Obviously, we do not operate on the same intellectual level - and as such I will not even bother trying to understand your short-term or long-term goals - yet, as an Outcast, you should not threaten the interests or lives of other Outcasts and Malta as a whole for your own unfathomable reasons.
Fiorella Arianna de Marco, I am pleased to make your aquaintance, but I must say that my intentions are not to make it difficult for other Outcasts and also my communication was to just stir up some old enemies, and to be honest the old enemies are not stopping most shipments.
The Liberty Navy is very scarce at the moment and also, I do have some freelance scouts, who have been my eyes and ears for a short while.
I do hope that other Outcasts can see that we are trying to make our nation greter than it already is and more powerful. And to do this, we must all bond together and come up with some plans to increase our nation and eventually make our enemies realise that we are not to be underestimated.
If it makes you feel better we can meet and discuss some things that might make you understand what we are all about, and what we can do to help our other Outcast Brothers and Sisters to survive.

Your messages to the wider Sirius are rather counterproductive. Our enemies will not be intimidated by false threats over NeuroNET. If you desire to enact a vendetta, do so without mincing words - let your actions speak for themselves.
Our distribution Network operates contrary to what you so readily and publicly disclosed to Sirius - it operates silently and unpredictably. The authorities logically cannot intercept a Cardamine freighter they do not know about or expect. We rely on the ignorance of the upper classes in Sirius, who are swayed by their own curiosity or desire to feel superior over their natural fear of our Product. Last but not least, we also need lax and easily corruptible authorities who do not cause undue hardship to our smugglers.
However, all of this comes to naught if you draw unnecessary public attention to us. No one will willingly consume our Product if you threaten them publicly. That is a terrible business technique, to put it mildly. We need happy and carefree customers who will serve as the perfect advertisement for us to their peers, yet another potential clients.
We are playing the long game and we are forced to rely on our soft power when we deal far away from Malta. Feel free to eliminate those who stand in our way or directly threaten Malta, but stay in the shadows for the others.
As an old wisdom says - out of sight, out of mind. Let them be worried about something else - our foes, preferably. Do you understand my points about our grand strategy, Signor Spiteri?
Fiorella Arianna de Marco, and thankyou for your response and your wisdom, for which I will take on board and as far as I am concerned we will work more towards your way of thinking.
Smuggling has started from us and again we have had successes specially with Cardamine and Black Market arms to supply our kin.
assembling my men is a priority now, but my offer still stands if you would like to meet, or at least do some joint work.
Fiorella Arianna de Marco, and thankyou for your response once again, and I am afraid I will have to re arrange our meet seeing as I am going to be unavailable on Saturday afternoon.
I am sure we can liase through more secure channels to discuss a meet or I am available Sunday evening or it will be a week from this transmission.

Unfortunately, I arrived late last weekend thanks to my numerous obligations. My apologies. However, we might try to meet at Malta's orbit at 1900 Sirian time - should it be suitable for you, Signor Spiteri.
