Council of the Corsair Elders

[Equinox]

Somewhere in Omicron Gamma....

On the Velasco Costello had used his old access codes to gain access to the surveillance cameras in the great Corsair conference hall.

Although he had chosen another path he still had an interest in how these talks would end.

The chuckling could be herd as far away as the engine room.

He couldn't help but laugh at the last message from "Don" Carlos. As he flicked a few switches a screen in the conference hall lit up with a view of Joe smiling to himself.

"My dear Carlos you make bold words but its a shame they don't resemble the truth, you would have everyone believe that your "fleet" (i say fleet but its one Osiris class battleship a couple of gunboats and a couple of fighters, hardly a fleet) above Crete is all that is holding our enemy's from our home, you are sadly mistaken, the Velasco may have left Crete's Orbit but it does not mean it has left gamma.

And thats just one ship "Don", you forget the brotherhood has a fully operational dreadnought class ship just for defending Crete aswell as another one on standby.

And thats not to mention our fleet of fighters, bombers, Gunboats and Cruisers.

Your demands are outrages and I do hope the other Corsairs see through this load of rubbish.

And you even have the cheek after what the Benitez did to US the true Corsairs is quite unbelievable.

Now just some advise to my old brothers, your talks should be with the SCRA not with Carlos, at least the SCRA have honor, at least they don't run of when an invasion force is at Gamma and leave there own families to the fate of others, no they stay and fight till the end, they are your true allies.

Now Im sure in one form or another we will meet again "Don" Carlos."

The screen flickered and died.
