Chop Stick, be very careful where you stick your nose in, and who you address like that. The Outcasts do not
take very kindly to being bossed around by a little oik like you.
Comms left here are expected to be made civily and with a bit of clear language in them.
To this end, I have had the girls correct your letter ... Dont do it again, or I will have them burned on the spot.

Watch your language mister! The Cardamine was delivered long ago. Your failure to notice that is not my concern! Next such encroachment will be burnt on spot by our much needed firewall!
Regards,
Bernard.

Hey everybody. I've been doing some pirating in Liberty lately, and I had a thought. The Xenos may be pretty much under LPI's thumb, but this is partially because of their beef with us and the Rogues. They've been looking for some friends due to their declining power, and the Outcasts could provide.
This could have some very nice implications for our operations in Liberty. The criminal element there pretty much consists of Rogues (under the expansive wing of the Outcasts), Junkers (apathetic), and Xenos. If we ("we" being the Outcasts and their allies) got the Xenos on our side, all the major criminal activity in Liberty space would either be us or the Junkers, who are neutral to us. This would give us a major advantage, not to mention opening Liberty even wider to the Cardamine trade.
Checkmate much?
I'm currently transmitting from Buffalo. I could easily fly into Xeno space and extend some diplomacy on your behalf... or extend some serious hurt as a demonstration of why the Outcasts are such a powerful ally. Either way, I'm happy.
Think about it. In either case, I'll keep an eye on the encrypted channels. Mitnick signing off.
Friend, however you pretty much realize what is our goal, the Xenos cannot be 'friends' so easily. On another note, hook anyone you can to Cardamine. After all 'the more, the merrier' is true in a lot of cases.
Aggressive negotiation is always an option.
Regards
Bernard.

Damn busy night up here. Took the Destroyer out for a shakedown patrol, bit of re-arming been happening
again. Couple of friendlies around the place. Black Knight working hard on diminishing the BHG population,
a pastime close to my heart.
Anyway a Pvt Hank McDuff pops up on the radar, asked him if I could help. Think he may have misconstrued
this as an offer to lend him a hand. When I discovered his Navy ass was shooting the brothers and sisters, I
helped out, by blowing his ship up. Bit cheeky there old son.
Then Lope and me catch a system announcement from Britonix, apparently in Alpha and doing the dirty on
the boys and girls. So off we go, taking this a little badly. Hate to have the urine extracted.
He thought taking our pilots to Theta was going to get him off the hook. Well, misread old buddy, if you shoot
at me, the both of us shoot back, Zoner Juggernaut or not.
Scratch one large capship. No point calling for non existant back-up either. Pick a fight with us, we carry it
through, private comms carry no weight when you are on your own, especially when the recipient is not
around either. Pays your money, takes your chance.
So Bernard turns up too, and we go back to patrolling. Gone a bit quiet round here now. possible trip to the
bar then. ______ Miguel.

Hmm, Alpha has become very popular lately. I will start with one named Norman Tarainer... A Corsair looking for some trouble. Well he got it, as he was later on destroyed my Emilio and Myself.
Next one was Calum... Little bugger, A Rouge with an Outcast ID who thought he could over rule the GoR? Yes... Thought that might be a problem.
He began insulting both myself and Emilio, complaining that we were not true Outcats, and that no Outcast should be controlling the system except for him... Well, I have marked this one on my personal kill list until further notice, and destroyed the ship shortly afterwards.
All for now

I was sitting in the bar, Enjoying the vast amount Cardimine I supplied. When I heard over my comms that a Navy pilot was outside attacking fellow Outcasts...
I left my Cardimine in the bar, and ran out to my ship...
The Navy was named Pvt.Hank.McDuff, I engaged the target. I stripped his shields off entirely. He ran to Tau 37, and I pursued.
I was able to burn off 3/4 of his hull before he docked on Freeport 10... Damn Navy never stand up to protect themselves.
When I returned to Planet Malta, a Xenos named Snowstorm launched! How the hell he docked is still unknown to me.
I engaged with full force. Once I did, a Blood Dragon named SixFeet came to assist.
Snowstorm was destroyed soon afterwards.
Then once again, Hank McDuff returned to Omicron Alpha and continued to kill fellow Outcasts... I am guessing he forgot I was here.
Though, by the time I checked once again, he was back in Tau 37.
It was over, I returned to Planet Malta... As I heard noise of the Bartender moving around quickly as if he was hiding something. As I was about to open the door, I heard over the comms that McDuff returned... And this time for the last.
I launched at sight and found him running to the north end of Omicron Alpha.
As I went after him. He was disrupted by a fellow Outcasts. As he attempted to use his thruster to get away, he was destroyed.
It was done, I finally returned to the bar to find my Cardimine GONE! With the bartender looking a bit over dosed...
Well, I wont note what I did after that.
