I'm glad to see the Unioners reaching out to us like this.
Though just for record sake, Apostatas has gone through some internal changes and our structure has been redone. I am now Capitán General of Apostatas. As you have seen we are not fully in line with our older traditions.
As for your question. Si we might have need of some resources..But before I reveal what is needed.
We must know what is your relationship with the Consul of The Brotherhood?

Nice too see you answer that quick Capitán General,
Now I am curious, do you ask about the relationship between me and the Brotherhood or do you ask for the relationship between the Arbeitergewerkschaft and the Brotherhood.
I personally don't have that much contact to the Brotherhood.
And the Arbeitergewerkschaft is bounded for a long time to most of the Corairs.
But why do you ask ?

I am asking about both.
The info and operations of Apostatas are somewhat sensitive and we need to make sure of whom we can trust. As right now I personally do not trust you miss Dross. But I wish to be proven wrong and I am giving you the opportunity to do so.
I understand the Unioners are old allies of the Corsairs, but time changes some things..We wish to know how much has changed.
To: Capitán General of Apostatas, Alexander Cordoba From: Oberstarbeiter Mary Annelise Dross, Nightcrawler der Alster Union. Subject: Neighborhood
Nothing has changed,
The Arbeitergewerkschaft is still a ally of yours that you can count on.
We both don't trust each other, let's fix that once and for all. What do you want me to do ?

Then I am afraid this relationship has come to an end.
We will remain neutral with the Unioners but nothing more. Well until you can bring something directly to Apostatas and not the CoE.
To: Alexander Cordoba From: Armin Jansen, der Alster Union. Subject: Love the treason but hate the traitor.
Cordoba. Do not over-value your position. You speak for the Apostotas and not for the Corsair people.
Despite whatever differences we may have had by the Corsair council, we will stand by them to the death, and have, on multiple occasions. Our squadrons fight alongside Crete in Frankfurt, Munich, and Xi. We will not become privy to Corsair civil disobedience.
A shift in relations does not happen without due cause. Who are you, specifically, trying to court, which would not be compatible with the attitude of the government of the Corsair Empire?
That is a question we will now investigate diligently since that is your inference. We will turn anything we discover to the Custodi and the Brotherhood.
We can alternatively put the issue aside and ignore any such suggestion with a recommencement of... candid... relations. We will even ship you a convoyload of food supplies to settle the matter.
Which will it be? You cannot behave with cynicism and expect anything less than cynicism in response.
Regards,
Armin Jansen.

You speak of us over-valuing our position? What position would that be?
You speak as if we are not the people of the Corsairs. We are the people! Same as the Council of Elders!
You speak of Corsair Civil disobedience. What of the Corsairs are civil exactly?
You are asking who we cater to? We cater to the future of our people.
You speak of Interference. What Interference?
Turn info over to The Brotherhood and Custodi? Do turn over whatever you think you will find. Thank you for showing your intentions..
Alternate route? You must be joking? You blatantly insult us and call our relations "Candid". You are running your mouth and speaking of ignorant things. You do not know our intent, motives or what we had in mind concerning future development.
I do believe you have to rethink what you want exactly. Apostatas has in the last month been the only ones who has helped the Union. We supplied you with critical resources and helped you against enemy vessels, not on a single occasion was there a Brotherhood or Custodi ship. Yet you would run to them with "info" that you yourself have no idea is.
Our initial thoughts on you were correct it seems. Gracias for proving it. You will not see a single supply ship or helping hand from Apostatas from this day forward.
Apostatas beliefs and morals once again prove what we are doing is right.
