Read all of that? Good. Now I hope you understand why I am extremely disappointed. Be glad it was me who received this data, and not Boss Mort. I also sincerely hope this information is not accurate, and this member of the OPG does not speak for the entire faction, or indeed the rest of the Corsairs.
Now on to the fun part. Whether you consider this a warning or a threat is your own to decide. Any Corsair, regardless of purpose that we find in Liberty will be beheaded and their bodies sent back to Crete. Their heads, however shall remain in Bering, mounted on pikes as a reminder to all Corsairs who attempt to pass into Liberty.
This space is ours, we share it only with the Lane Hackers and begrudgingly with the Xenos and Outcasts. While we would prefer to maintain a neutral status with the Corsairs, as we have no interest in your quarrels with the Outcasts, we will not accept any Corsairs attempting to tread on our turf.
Please remind your men and women that Liberty is not within your Zone of Interest, and we shall no longer have any problems.
Thankyou for your informative and motivational speech. I found the conversation you demonstrated worrying yet remarkably funny. It seems that a certain clown that has recently undergone some recen torture to correct his less than willing nature has backfired on ths occasion. The amigo you spoke to of course is unable to carry out any of the threats he mentioned and as such can be treated at best as a nuisance. I have however mobilised the rest of the OPG and he is now being hunted. This particular amigo is a wily and unstable sort and often very bullish. I have decied to castrate him. His cojones will be mailed to you.
I would however like to pass a certain amount of concern over your claims that you will attack corsairs in liberty. On occasion opg forces sometimes escort OTC vessels carrying essential cargos. If one of these were to be shot by one of your hermanos you would be well advised to get your head between your legs and begin kissing your backside goodbye. Take that however you wish, as a threat or a promise it makes no difference. The corsair nation is vast and strong and your piddling little operation is of no real significance. I will of course send you some testicles since you have none of your own. That way at least no one can say you didnt have the cojones to stand up to the corsairs.

Now, now, Elders. You know better than that. Threatening us like this won't get anyone anywhere, especially since a small part of the Liberty Rogues profit come from Artefact smuggling. Now, all that we want to remind you is that --we-- control smuggling business in Liberty at the same level than the Hogoshas do in Kusari. We seek no threat with you, as we already got our hands full with the GST and some other people. Your querrels with the Outcasts do no interest us in the least.
Maybe you're the cashcow in all this, but we're the bees. If need goes, we can give you quite a sting, but as I've said we're not looking for a fight. Simply for us to be let alone.
Castro scooped the cold meat out of his bowl with his fingers, the juices dripping down in splatters onto the hard baked floor. He was relaxing after a hard days work of Corsairing. Meaningful dialogue between enemies had been displayed, ships had been blown up, Artifacts delivered to the rightful places, and spawns of cactuses had been crushed. It was a good day to be a Corsair.
A forceful knock at the door, the frame vibrating as someone in the corridor yelled out "CASTRO. SPARTA WANTS YOUR SORRY ARSE. YOU MESSED UP, AMIGO. WE' GONNA TAKE YOU. DON'T MAKE ME COME IN THERE."
Castro paused in scoffing his face to yell back with good humour, "YOU GO TELL THAT CRETIN OF A DOGS UNDERBELLY, IF HE WANTS ME, TO GET OFF HIS LAZY BUM AND COME GET ME HIMSELF." With that, the door splintered into hundreds of shards as the two goons outside graciously dismissed the polite reply from Castro.
Goon number one pointed a finger at Castro and growled vehemently, "I told you not to make me come in here." He started across the room towards Castro, as Castro kept gulping down his meat. Goon Two stood by the door arms folded with a grin on his face as Goon One reached up to grab Castro. Castro turned slightly so the Goon's fingers missed his shoulder, then quick as a snake he jammed the bowl and leftover meat into Goon One's eyes. Goon one screamed in a manly way as the tomato juices penetrated his eyes nerves setting them on fire from within, and blinding him with red goodness at the same time. Goon Two uncrossed his arms, a smile no longer on his face, and he stormed across to "get" Castro. Castro spun sideways and grabbed a cast-iron frying pan and smashed it almost ballet-like across Goon Two's temple. Goon Two fell semi-quietly to the floor, a sudden feeling of needing sleep overwhelming him. Castro then sucker-punched Goon One's still screaming jaw, and then he too felt the need for an Cretian afternoon nap.
Castro muttered, "Waste of good food", then leaned over Goon One's baby-like-sleeping form and said, "I told you to go back to Sparta. "This," as Castro gesticulated towards the room's broken door, "is Madness." He picked up a piece of tomato and meat from Goon One's siesta'ed mug and chewed it for a second. Castro then stormed out of the door in a fury, heading for Sparta's command centre. After a couple of corridors he slowed down a little, suddenly realising what Sparta would do to him if he was in one of those moods. Castro turned around and headed for the ship hanger instead and muttered under his breath, "Sparta'll have to catch me first."

As Castro took off in his Titan he wondered what had got Sparta on his tail this time.

That is good news Elder.
Perhaps when I said "Regardless of Purpose" I was being far too hasty. We of course would not interfere with your shipments of Artifacts, nor the escorts protecting it. We support the trade of Artifacts, as it means profit for us too, and in future we are looking forward to deals with the Corsairs which allow us to ship Artifacts ourselves. That, however, is the subject of later transmissions.
However, said transports and escorts are expected to leave Liberty after delivering goods, and expected not to linger. Our stance on Corsairs treading on our turf is unchanged. Regardless of how vast and strong your nation is, the Liberty Rogues know Liberty like the back of our hands, and we have many allies, all the might of your strongest capital ship fleets mean nothing against the strength of our Barghests in an Asteroid field. We would not fight a war on your terms, it would be fought on ours and with a home field advantage.
It would be wise to forget about gaining any sort of foot hold in Liberty, the Liberty Rogues are stronger than you think.
