SENDER: Ricardo Barcelona, Captain of the Canaria-class Prison Liner RV-Nuevo Prado RECEIVER: The Brotherhood [TBH] ORIGIN: ----- DATE/TIME: 05 (Wednesday)/12 (December)/819 A.S./0005 Hours (12:05 AM) SUBJECT: ECG| Allegedly Disrespecting a Corsair Elder; Elder Showing Little Tact
We were going to place this as a comment in the Department of Goods Liberation and Trade section, but due to technical difficulties with our equipment we sadly don't have the evidence we recently transported a load of 3155 units of Kyushu Rice.
Cut to the chase, after delivering the supplies we were about to leave Gamma when we spotted a Corsair Armada under the ECG| Tag. We wanted to ask them if the Empirio found any new Daam K'vosh dig sites to aid in our research, but then a [TBH]-tagged vessel came along, and that's when things got juicy.
Needless to say, the ECG| have outright decided to insult an alleged elder in front of his face. On the other hand, the elder was very keen on shooing away a Neutral that the ECG| were collaborating at the time. We have pictorial evidence of the talks, and are willing to give it to the great elders to use at their discretion.
We hope this information will help bring justice to both sides involved.
Is much to say here , but i will gladly let our leader speech more about this .. hmm .. incident ? i really dont think it was suck thing . I guess , we need much more clinical institutions on Crete to deal with post-war traumatic issues .
I was there , we did nothing against Elder rules , we did nothing wrong , but just let us brothers rise against each others , let us proud corsairs fight each others , because senor Alberto .
Maybe our enemyes wil learn how to confrunt each others because of pure vanity .
Big ships , small ships ... have no importance , just the people behing the helm matters , and we just saw one today , sadly .
I bow in front of the Elders again , with sadness in my heart .
We spelled blood on the borders , you seem to forget that quicqly .
Yours truly , captain Cata of the ECG ship Dutzy .
Let me start off with apologising for not being contacted by one of our Elders personally.
I can assure you that they are grateful for your thoughtfulness in sharing this information.
It seems that there is a misunderstanding that I'd like to clear up.
Señor Rodriguez does not hold the honoured title of Elder but the rank and duty of Centurion.
This is one of the highest military ranks in the Corsair Brotherhood.
Centurions are to be considered the eyes and ears of the Elders in the field.
Señor Rodriguez is , amongst other things , tasked with domestic security of the empire.
It came to our understanding that there has been foreign presence tolerated
and maybe even invited by the ECG without the Council of Elders or department of trade's approval.
The Council of Elders is the one and only legitimate ruling organ of the Corsair empire ,
and no other familia or fellowship stands above the Corsair law.
This caused the conflict that to my regret you have been witness of.
I hope I have been able to answer your questions señor Barcelona.
And as always , we welcome your trade with open arms!
Decurion Alphonso Perez di Martino,
loyal servant of el Presidente and the Corsair Brotherhood.
Capitan of the Dutzi.
I do not know why you are hacking into transmissions not addressed to you.
This testifies of a lack of the same respect you mention.
Due to my rank it is however not my task nor my right to judge upon your actions.
I believe Elder Buonocore plans to contact the ECG personally.
Buena suerte with that.
He can get quite ... agitated.
Decurion Alphonso Perez di Martino,
loyal servant of el Presidente and the Corsair Brotherhood.
