[Location: Where ever I want]
[Comm ID: .:j:.Scraptacular]
Why hello there my Corsair friends. How do you do? You can call me Stone.
I'm calling you up on this here chatter box to make us a deal.
You see, you've got some mighty fine gizmos in your ships, it would be a shame if you lost them to some hessian slash nomad slash outcast slash bunter ambush now wouldn't it? So I am proposing that you let me check out all the areas you've lost your men, where I can pick the wrecks clean. Now I'll bring back all the stuff I find to a location of your choosing and all I ask in return, is that you let me keep some of the finer pieces of tech for my ship so I can fight off any punks just wanting to pinch your gear. It's better me than one of your enemies.
As far as I can see, it's a win win deal for both of us. You get your stuff back so no one can copy it or use it against you (or if it's in good nick you could reuse it) and I get something pretty for my labours.
I'm sure the Congress would be real happy if you let me do this, we always remember those who have helped us.
I apologise for the long wait. However, this matter underwent a lot of discussion, and the time delay was neccessary to decide on a course of action.
Bad news, I'm afraid. We've decided to deny your request, because even though it would be very helpful for us to recieve some of our equipment back, you recieving payment in terms of parts of equipment gathered would open the flood gates for others to request, and the precedent be there, for doing the same as you. No one can reasonably expect one man and his crew to scour all of the Corsair battlegrounds, past and present, for recyclable parts.
In addition, we are unable to send someone to oversee the operation, which would allow an amount of fixing, if you will. Documentation of all known wrecked ships, but some left alone for others after you to gather. Not that I'm accusing you of even thinking about this, but some of the more unscrupulus individuals in the future may.
However, if you can convince me that our concerns are invalid, the matter will be reviewed by the council.
- Pablo Moreno, secretary to the Council of the Corsair Elders
Corsair LawsCorsair Court Our forces combined, no-one shall stand before us. Our enemies shall be burnt and cast to the wind, our troops marching forward over their mangled corpses. True we stand alone, with wolves circling, but our isolation lends us our strength, for we are one and they are divided.
The days of Darkness are no longer, for we are the Corsairs and we are fear incarnate! Viva los Corsairs, the Empire shall rise!
The blood of the Hispania runs in our veins. The blood of our enemies shall wet our hands.
Well now it's awful unfortunate that we couldn't come to a deal. But I will talk to the rest of my family and see if they are willing to help you out with another one of your problems. I won't speak for the Congress, but I envision a very large ship full of food headed for Gamma. I'll let you know more if my idea becomes a reality.
