Encrypted Transmission to the Benitez Familia

[Evo]

'Ey there, nice to talk to you lot again. As I'm sure ya noticed, we been truckin' ya fancy shmancy artifacts into Liberty an' already shut down several vendors that lost their supply. I'm sure ya'll find us t'be more reliable than them. Where blunders of individuals might've crippled an entire sales deal, we've setup a system where 's a collective effort, any that fall off th'train can be replaced by 'nother in a couple hours at most.

Oh, and 'm mailin' ya the right hand of a Junker thief caught tryin' t'break into our warehouses. Stuff it an' put it on ya mantle or somethin'.

One more thing, ran into one of ya corsairs outside of Benitez flyin' a cruiser or somethin' who didn't know who we were, and didn't know ya laws it seems. Attachin' th'relevant details. Was haulin' food rations t'Crete and artifacts back, me buddy got held up an' nearly extorted 'til I screamed at him so loud 'e turned tail and ran fer the hills.

He makes ya Empire look bad, thought ya'd want t'know.

Buenos dias mi amigo,
ai caramba, that footage sure doesn't look good! My deepest apologies for this incident. I believe the heat and drieness on Planet Crete as well as teh ceap sell-off of overproduced second grade rum has something to do with this- there are quite some restless capitanos around these days. But, again- this is not an excuse- trading with us should be as safe as it gets after all.

I will see to it that everyone gets a free print edition of the Corsair laws attached to a rum barrel, that might already help. In case it doesn't do the trick: don't give in to any demands as log as you don't put your crews in danger, do not resort to violence with our ships, that might end ugly - we do have a very efficient court, fully equipped with draconic punishments for those who ignore our laws and disrespect our customers.

On more pleasant things- i am glad you could set up your salespot and got it secured properly- the artifacts must flow- with exchange of pesetos, not greedy hands!

I expect your men back soon, we might have abit more business to discuss.

Hasta la vista,

Buenos dias Pigmy,
ther is no hurry...there is simply an option for trusted traders and amigos of the familia to get artifacts at a more competitive price, a bonus for consistency so to say. Keep the flow of artifacts up and we can discuss this option as well as some artifacts that go above "being shiny rocks" as you called them.

Hasta la vista,

Buenos dias Pigmy,
ah, seems someone has very open ears when it comes to pesetos, si? Bueno, bueno- maybe we should meet after your next convoy is out and on its way back to Liberty, our warehouses at Crete are still fully stocked after all. After that, we can negotiate, bueno?

Hasta la vista,
