I thought I offered you a good deal, really I did. I did not think it was necessary for you to be banned from every Junker base in Sirius. You're quite crazy, no one can deny that but you are at times useful. All you had to do was stay away from Rochester and Beaumont. That's not asking too much and it's not hard. Just stay away from our ports in Liberty and you can fly anywhere else you want.
Maybe you just felt compelled to push your luck. Maybe you didn't think I was serious. I made you a very generous offer and you have betrayed my trust.

I'm really surprised old son. You usually have so much to say when someone calls you out. Now I'm getting reports of your boys doing the same thing at Beaumont. I understand how hard it is for someone who isn't a part of the corporate machine and I tried to cut you a break. You don't seem very appreciative of what I've done for you.
[font=Trebuchet Ms]Hey Hawkie, relax. According to the latest polls, [color=#33CC00]done by Liberty Navy's Digest, my popularity dropped down for 14,57% so I haven't been checking the comm channels for a long time. Give me a break.
The thing is--someone stole my guns and credits few days back, leaving a strange note in my hold. My investigation led me to believe that the thief was hiding at Rochester. Without any choice left, I had to react quickly and dock at your base and question some people. Hope you don't mind hearing about those two guys massacred in the rest-room. Now I realize that they had nothing to do with it. Unfortunately, I've found out that only later, after I made them duel each other to death with flush toilettes.
Hale came to pressure you with some photos taken by paparazzi-officers telling you to ban me from your bases. Then you came to tell me... you know the content of that conversation. Anyway, you thought and you still think that, by prolonging those negotiations you had with President Hale, you were doing me a favor. Despite your good intentions, that only stalled the inevitable. And what was inevitable? It's manifested now by you telling me that I'm banned from your bases in Liberty.
I've been always nice to you Junkers. Offered you help whenever you might find yourself in need of one. Even when you were pressured by Hale, I've offered your people support by me and every criminal who ever worked with me. Because of my recent absence, providing any aid now is impossible, even if you wanted any, because my influence is obviously lessened. You've chosen to succumb to their demands and successfully avoided the confrontation with Navy. You probably think you saved your people.
Only problem you'll have now is me. Junkers will be pirated from now on in, both inside and outside of Liberty, where Navy won't be able to protect you. Or how about I start killing Junkers on sight just because they have a leader who clearly represents them as weaklings? Too bad that the most of you folks are good people, good friends of mine, who're gonna pay for your mistake.
I'll respond to no messages coming from you any longer unless it contains something like "You're not banned from our bases in Liberty. I apologize for making a rush judgement."
P.S. We only agreed upon Rochester but not on Beaumont. Good luck out there.

I love how people will go to such great lengths to tell you something other than what they're really saying. You're going to hurt Junkers you say? Well, a lot of people hurt Junkers. We seem to be popular whipping boys these days, join the club. You say Junkers are going to die because of me. You're right, I should have just let you put them all out of business. Actually what you are really saying is you're going to kill Junkers because you can't get me. Every time you attack a Junker all anyone is going to see is a sad little man having a temper tantrum because he...............can't........get..........me.
