Saludos Outcast,

My name is Roberto Cofresi. I am a junker by birth and a pirate by trade. Until recently I worked as a hired hand in a salvager ship collecting metal and smuggling Cardimine. Once I earned enough credits I made a pilgrimage to Malta to purchase and outfit a Tridente. I completed mission after mission until I earned the respect of the Outcast. I bought and outfitted the Tridente; and before leaving Cartagena, I baptized it "El Mosquito". Before you judge me and my transgression, please let me explain.

My father, a proud junker, recently pass away due to injuries sustain during a Xeno attack. He always talked about how our ancestors arrived on board the Hispania, struggled in the colonization of Malta, and migrated into the Puerto Rico system seeking better opportunities. He made us speak Spanish at the dinner table so we will not forget our roots. He was a proud man dreaming of buying a border world ship to cruise Sirius. Something he will not get to do. He believed border world ships symbolize the indomitable human spirit. Before he die he to told me to seek my own fortune and to make Sirius my playground. To honor him and to settle a score with the Xenos I selected a Tridente ship believing it was a border world ship.

While in the Magellan system, I encountered a skillful Vigilante who crippled "El Mosquito" and took 100 Bounty hunters I had in my cargo bay. He also informed me that the Tridente is not a border world ship but an Outcast ship. I did not believe him of course, after all he is a vigilante and I have seen the Tridente listed as a border world ship. I wanted to make sure I was not violating any Outcast restrictions and after a short research I realized my foe was correct. I have been illegally flying an Outcast restricted ship. For that I can only apologize and come to you to correct my wrong doing.

I am also here to officially request permission to fly "El Mosquito" which is currently docked in Vieques shipyard for repairs and while I visit with my mother in the Carolina Outpost.

Waiting for your replay,

Roberto Cofresi
