Well, this is an interesting turn of events.

Quite frankly, we're not fans of any of your kind. Hessians, Corsairs, Outcasts, you're all a cut from the same cloth as much as you'd like to vehemently deny that truth. In our former lives, we hunted your kind with impunity and we loathe the fact that we have to coexist with your kind now. However, being that our former masters in the houses have forsaken us and express glee in hunting us down--well, beggars can't be choosers.

Your communication has our Commander interested. Speak your piece and we will see what shakes loose.

We weren't forsaken because we want details. Leaving things ambiguous means the ability for the other party to change the terms of an agreement after the fact.

Regarding your terms: We have no problems killing your fellows. Whatever your issues with them is irrelevant to us. The problem arises where we aren't being paid credits. Perhaps your intelligence on the Legion isn't clear cut--allow me to educate you a bit. Yes, we're pirates and we seek out cargo and plunder to finance our rebellion against our former masters. Yes, we target various groups or individuals based on contracts...but we don't do it for free, regardless of your "reward". If you want us to go after your brothers and sisters in the other clans, or whatever it is you call the other Corsair groups, then we require cold hard credits. Plain and simple. Lives for credits. That's not to say we won't do it for a bargain--I'm sure that many of our number would take great joy in disassembling a Counsel or two.

We're providing a service, irrespective of your belief that we would do it for free just for the sake of loot. We're willing to take this contract, but we require more than promises of continuing to suck down air and/or ripping the equipment or cargo from the cold dead hands of your fellow Corsairs. Sweeten the pot and give my men and women a reason to take this contract. Just because we're forsaken, doesn't mean we've lost all standards. Take your time considering your options, we'll be here.

...and sure, why not. Swing by the Ithaca bar, first round will be on me if you want to get loaded.

Sounds reasonable.

We'll be there to assist with the cleanup of the system. I've already earmarked a few gunboats to assist. See you out in the black.
