As you are surely aware, there’s a new self-proclaimed “King of the Omegas and Omicrons” not only had we to endure the same blasphemic self-entitlement of Golanski, Admiral of the Order, to a point, where all deals between them and the Zoner-community have been called off. A step that the Corsair Elders in their wisdom, had taken long before we even considered doing so.
Now with the Order weakened, another group claims the exact same spot and instead of making allies with enemies of their main enemy, choose to impose some sort of foreign rule over all of the Omicrons and Omegas and to force subjugation to our people. Of course, neither of us can or will ever accept that. I am sure, that the Corsair Empire can stand up to this foe, as they have stood up to everyone who has come before them.
However, as things are now, we assume the particularly easy target, namely the production site of Kosenayr Technologies will be the primary target of the Core|. Omicron Supply Industries does, sadly, not have the military power to withstand a dedicated attack by capital ships.
We did manage to acquire and recruit some military hardware and personnel from independent Zoner Groups, who are now undergoing a series of training exercises directed by the Adviser to the Board VonCloud. But it’s doubtful, that they can take the brunt of the attack.
Since the attack on Omega-49 will be only to get a bridgehead to stage attacks on your western flank, it is of the utmost importance that such an attack must never succeed in the first place. Therefore, if the corsair forces need to inflict heavy attrition damage to the Core fleet during their transit through corsairs space.
We expect the Core fleet to get into position using cloaks, like the ones we produce at Nichols. These do produce residual electromagnetic distortions, which, when reverberating from the hull of a ship, create that distinct sound of a cloak. Technology to pick up those distortions and triangulate them in order to get a precise fix on their location, to, for example, direct weapons fire from automated stations, is in experimental stage but can hopefully enter production any time now. They should also be effective detecting nomad-based cloaks, as they work with the same physical principle, and of course those the Order are using.
We suggest implementing the devices into the Minefields of the O-41 system, as this is the systems the Core-fleet has to cross in order to reach your western flank. That should give the Brotherhood a simple-to-use and easy-to-maintain early detection systems for incoming raids and enemy fleet movement.
If this sounds too much of an order, I apologize. It’s not our place to boss around a powerful ally. It is just a proposition on how me and my team think it’s best to proceed. Suggestions, corrections or entirely new options are of course very welcome.
Best Regards

Gracias, Senor Kelly... *nods*
We are not happy with any cloaky mumbo-jumbo ship fearing our space. Ofc, we can always look at another side if it's our ally or loyal supplier, just trying to stay alive in this ugly times. But, Core ships we can't tolerate anywhere. And cloaked ones we will kill on sight! But... we can't see them, si? Woodoo is strong in us, but not that strong.
Seeing invisible Core ships could really make our day. We accept your plan, of course. Put it on go, por favor. Except robotic turrets part, Senor. Caramba, we have no trust in robots! Shooting enemy with some auto-turrets is not our way. We like to do it with our machetes, but our guns are ok as well. *takes a deep breath* And enemies taste better that way.
You can always count on our fleet to protect people and sausage industry at Gran Canaria. We'd rather not allow any Core or someone to come even close. Caramba, look how beautiful our sausage factories are! We've just painted two of them! We think Omega-41 is right place to place your early warning systems. ASAP! Our fleet will cover your construction site 24/7, count on that!

We have started production of the devices, and hope they will work as in the tests. Being in an experimental status, there is no guarantee for that. However, should they work as planed, we wish the Corsair fleet the best of times in slaughtering those pigs.
An Individual device will report the direction of the distortion to a central computer. Two or more such devices should be able to exactly pinpoint the position, and with time, speed and direction of any cloaked Vessel.
Your presence in Omega-49 must follow the rules of the Confederation of Freeports as mentioned here. Especially the section about capital combat in Omega-49. However, as soon as hostilities between Core| and Omicron Supply Industries break out, the Brotherhood will be classified as acting as a security asset according to the exemption in Section two: §2a, b & c. Is, however, expected to obey the rules of the CoF in all other cases and not to attack targets outside the specifications.
However, in order not to endanger any civilians, we would rather see the Core completely annihilated during their passage trough Corsair space, where they will be slowed down due to the asteroids and be easy targets for bombers and similar sized vessels.
Monetary, material or logistic compensations for your endeavors are subject of further negotiations, as is a commission for destroyed or captured Core| ships.
Best Regards

We just intercepted and solved one Core warship orbiting over Gran Canaria. Her captain claimed it was just a reconnaissance vessel. I can't trust that. Ship was well armed and armored. I pray to Santa Muerte they didn't do any harm to Gran Canaria ozone layer or something even worse! All that allien mumbo-jumbo they have... *shatters* I guess we'll find out soon if any hidden damage was dealt to the planet. Better safe than sorry.
However, seems like Core ships do have abillity to pass our systems without being noticed. This one passed through, all the way until our Omega-49 patrol got visual. Please mucho hurry with your early warning system installation works, Senor Kelly. They seem not aware about our cooperation yet. Listen to this, por favor. *uploads voice recordings*

Core|Ryu: Ryder: Does the Brotherhood have such a right where they can void the No Fire Zone?
Core|Ryu: Ryder: I shall repeat myself. This is not Delta.
El.Pepe[TBH]: We are able to solve that later. You are the only threat I see atm.
El.Pepe[TBH]: Trust me. We will shoot. Go away from the planet.
El.Pepe[TBH]: We must to shoot.
Core|Ryu: Ryder: You must?
Core|Ryu: Ryder: Is OSI telling you to do this?
El.Pepe[TBH]: I will answer no more *charging snac*

That was indeed a very unfortunate incident, according to the surviving members of the Crew of the Core| ship some of your men mentioned involvement of Omicron Supply Industries. Sure enough, Core| has now filed charges against your men and tries to blame OSI for the hostilities – as if Core| and the Corsairs weren't enemies enough already.
I will use my influence to mitigate any ill effects this might have on the Brotherhood. But we would prefer the Brotherhood to follow the rules and regulations of the CoF until hostilities break out. You may, and with our help hopefully effectively, harass them at your leisure outside of O-49 and within O-49 according to the boundaries set in place by the Confederation of Freeports.
Please note, however, that while running from a fight into any NFZ is forbidden, this is no authorization for the perusing party to open fire within the NFZ.
With that official flim-flam being over, something personal: Next time, please make sure you kill everybody on the ship and don't give them a chance to send a message to whomever. No witnesses no problems, right?

I must admit Senor Kelly, it was all very sloppy from my side. Seeing any hostile vessel in orbit of Gran Canaria, especially if with atmosphere piercing potential - makes me mad. If you ever tasted our Canarian chilly sausages, you'd surely understand why. They are so close to my heart, together with factories and workers that are making them! But you will get a chance, Senor! I'm preparing mucho special menu for our lunch after all this gets over! *hopping happily*
Just to add again that your early warning system in Omega-41 is so beautiful solution to prevent situations like this.
My respect. *nods*

Hola Senor,
I was told to forward the material that was gathered during a confrontation with Core vessels near the Delta Freeport to your address.
The complete confrontation took place right at the Freeport. I have a lot of guncam shots, if needed.
I am not a politician, but I found the frequency of their docking to the Freeport to be in stark contrast to their willingness to accept the terms of the hospitality of the Zoner Freeports.

[18.07.2015 19:13:44] CNS-Bahama: Oh, Kenobi, hola! [18.07.2015 19:13:48] Core|Ivy.Noire.: I don't like to respect any laws, or at least most of them. Why?
[18.07.2015 19:13:52] [TBH]Arcelia.Chavez.: Judging by all the ships that launch from here
[18.07.2015 19:14:51] Attention! Stand clear. Towing Core|WV-Anassi
[18.07.2015 19:15:15] Core|Ivy.Noire.: Do you want to dance little Corsair? Or should I let you run off back to Yaren. Oh wait, you cant. *she chuckles*

[18.07.2015 19:16:04] [TBH]Arcelia.Chavez.: Interesting how you treat hospitality. But... *chuckles* Your call

[18.07.2015 19:16:28] Core|WV-Anassi: Nodtviet: We pacify the threats of Omicron Delta - including you.
[18.07.2015 19:16:55] [TBH]Arcelia.Chavez.: Interesting call coming from a tyrant and alien-exploiter
[18.07.2015 19:17:31] Core|Christopher.Stone': Are we seriously talking about hospitality and such to /cannibals/?
[18.07.2015 19:17:33] Core|Christopher.Stone': Seriously?

[18.07.2015 19:17:53] [TBH]Arcelia.Chavez.: Nah. It was not hospitality between your kind and our.
[18.07.2015 19:18:01] Core|Christopher.Stone': Good.
[18.07.2015 19:18:17] .Cesar.Gutierrez[TBH]: They are making us hungry. And when we're hungry, we kill something!
[18.07.2015 19:18:22] Core|Sapphire.Raven*: O-oh?
[18.07.2015 19:18:33] .Cesar.Gutierrez[TBH]: If it's tasty, we eat it
[18.07.2015 19:18:34] CNS-Kenobi: you guys need snub or BS??
[18.07.2015 19:18:39] Core|Sapphire.Raven*: Ha!
[18.07.2015 19:18:44] CNS-Bahama: Probably snubs
[18.07.2015 19:18:47] Core|Christopher.Stone': Let me punch you in the mouth.
[18.07.2015 19:18:54] Core|Ivy.Noire.: I can only presume what you are talking about.
[18.07.2015 19:18:56] Core|Christopher.Stone': I've been told that my fist tastes like strawberries.
[18.07.2015 19:19:02] Core|Sapphire.Raven*: Time to see if those experiments paid off. Hey Stone
[18.07.2015 19:19:05] Core|Christopher.Stone': What?
[18.07.2015 19:19:07] Core|Sapphire.Raven*: Feel like exterminating vermin?
[18.07.2015 19:19:13] Core|Christopher.Stone': I suppose.
[18.07.2015 19:19:16] Core|Sapphire.Raven*: Let's do it.
[18.07.2015 19:19:18] [TBH]Arcelia.Chavez.: Oh words. Words. So many words. Are they as powerful as your incursion into Gamma?
[18.07.2015 19:19:19] Core|Sapphire.Raven*: Die.
[18.07.2015 19:19:20] .Cesar.Gutierrez[TBH]: A scum like you doesn't even deserve the honor to be killed by Corsairs!
[18.07.2015 19:19:23] Core|Sapphire.Raven*: Shut it, and die.
[18.07.2015 19:19:25] Core|WV-Anassi: Nodtviet: Waste no time, Core
[18.07.2015 19:19:27] Core|Sapphire.Raven*: [[WEAPONS POWERED]]
[18.07.2015 19:19:31] Core|WV-Anassi: Nodtviet: Purge them. Purge all of them.
[18.07.2015 19:19:36] [TBH]Arcelia.Chavez.: Under attack
[18.07.2015 19:19:39] Core|Christopher.Stone': Whatever you say.
[18.07.2015 19:19:44] Core|Christopher.Stone': Get dead.
[18.07.2015 19:19:52] [TBH]Arcelia.Chavez.: Defending!
[18.07.2015 19:20:05] Death: O'Rhu|CV-Vainamoinen has died
[18.07.2015 19:20:06] .Cesar.Gutierrez[TBH]: Bien, let's teach them a lesson
[18.07.2015 19:20:15] Core|Ivy.Noire.: I'll intercept the other one. *chuckles*
And here the proof that this took place directly at the Freeport.
