Amigos, Bombardment of the OPG home base of cadiz is completely without precedent. I acccept that the renegade tuco pacifico may appear to use our base. However I have seen the same renegade docked at crete, skiros and yaren. So let us consider. Are the TAZ and associated zoners now given the green light by the TBH to bombard OPG and potentially ALL corsair bases to destroy one renegade? If this is so I call this heresy.
I shall bare this in mind when the next zoner crosses the path of the OPG. Oh and let me make this clear. I will begin bombardment with a FULL war fleet of capitals , fighters and bombers with supporting vessels from the crusiers and gunboats available. Already at least 3 dozen independant corsairs with large capitals are ready to demonstrate corsair firepower on zoner bases. Now I would prefer to avoid this and suggest the TAZ relinquish their 'defensive' standpoint and immediately offer an appology to the corsairs of the OPG who in no way condone the actions of the rogue green hawk or tuco pacifico.
Now I see through the smoke screen and diplomatic bulls(*t that is being offered here by the zoners and in particular TAZ whom my father in his journals spoke of with.....regret and trepidation. I offer him the chance to make recompense financially and publicly for the wrong done to our base. Several valued amigos were killed by the huge blast on the doors of cadiz. These amigos lost their lives trying to keep the airlocks intact.
Let me make this completel clear. I will consider ANY further hostilities toward corsair bases as an act of war. This will of course be dealt with in the only way the OPG see fit. Retaliatory action.
Hunt the rogues at will with my blessing. Attack our bases and I guarantee you will regret it.
Do you "Elders" talk at all?? I'm seeing two completely different and conflicting points of view presented here. Hail Bloody Eris!
You have received your apologies from the TAZ and Independent vessels involved in the "Cadiz" incident, Sparta. They are here for all to see. Now, if you wish a bit more grovelling, I too will express my condolences for the unfortunate incident.
I have placed the TAZ in a defensive posture.. no need to pull out your fleet of a bazillion shiney capital vessels. We will attack only those miscreants who we have declared hostile; and we will make every effort not to offend your sensibilities while cleaning their clocks.
As to "reparations", I believe we are even. The TAZ vessels Crater.Lake, Vor'cha, and Cabbage.Control.F have all been seriously damaged, with their own tolls of injured and dead. However, I will be happy to transer the sum of One Sirius Credit to satisfy the amenities. Give me the destination.
Both of you seem to have agreed that Green Hawk and Tuco Pacifico are renegades, and that any further "business" between these "hermanos" and the TAZ will be strictly betwen us, as it should be.
I thank Mate Grimly for beginning this dialogue. I thank members of the Brotherhood and the Benitez family for their support, both here and behind the scenes, in helping to resolve this matter. And I thank both you, Elder Muleo, and you, Elder Sparta, for your willingness to let the TAZ deal with these renegades.
Senor your words are carefully staged. OPG does not desire a conflict with any zoners. We do not accept there is any reason you should be attacking the home fo the OPG. 5 Corsairs were killed. Each corsair is worth 1 million of the zoners money. This will help to reduce the burden left on the familia of the hombres killed. Do not insult us with offers of 100 credits.
Just to clarify my statements, while I have no problem with Zoners hunting those who would stupidly put themselves in the narrow scope of Zoner law, any attack on Corsair bases is unacceptable and will be responded to in the future, the chasing of renegade Corsairs should not lead to damage to Corsairs bases. I think the Zoners of all people should understand that concept.
Elder Sephardi, the appropriate facts were obtained from both sides, the TAZ and independent Zoners involved have made amends. I have presented my condolences as well.
Your statement regarding possible attacks on Corsair bases is duly noted, and will not be an issue, as we will deal with these renegades either in Zoner or neutral space, away from the sensitive eyes of other Corsairs.
Elder Sparta, I always weigh my words carefully. And what of the crews of the Crater Lake.. .. the C.C.F...? Are their lives not worth equal amounts? I contend that they are, but I will not argue the issue further.
The 5 Million credit "donation" you request will be given to a neutral Corsair party of our mutual choosing. I will also honor the "1 Credit" offer I made earlier... not sure where you got the extra two zeros, amigo.
I trust that will end the matter, and the blustering, and the blackmail, verdad?
Now we all can focus on the true causes of this unfortunate misunderstanding, that being the dishonorable, lowlife, crud-eating renegade scum known as Green.Hawk and Tuco.Pacifico.
