The pirate clumped down the hall his cybernetic feet echoing. news had reached him that the doors to the council chamber had been breached. 'About time someone gave us an open door policy muagh hahaha' Gentle grinned. Carlos the Don of the Benitez family had a unique manner. Similar in many ways to himself thought gentle. As Gentle approached the smashed doors he took a firm hold of the one hanging limply from its hinges and pput his strength to it. The door ripped from its housing and gentle carried it above his head into tho council chamber. Maybe the doors should be kept open now. this was a good thing no.... Corsairs should talk more and openly. Maybe Carlos had inadvertently started something good. gentle was always happy to talk to his hermanos and a locked door prevented this.
"Hola Mi hermanos, sorry I am late I just heard the news that the doors had fallen off the council chambers. Amigos I have brough the Don a souvenir of his institution of our chambers new open door policy."
Gentle set the ancient door down next to Carlos and grinned from ear to ear.
"maybe you can make a table with this Carlos hermano, muagh hahaha"
"So we have finally come to sort out the mess that gathers outside of Crete every day. Good news indeed this is amigos."
"Please allow me to give you an account of events that happened to me in person only 2 or 3 days ago. I undocked from Crete noticing a large volume of independants in space. I brought out the [OPG]bancoGrande so that I could furnish some of the greenstick corsair boys with something other that pea shooters and spud guns. Whilst performing a transaction with a TT named firestorm I was hailed by an Indy named Paul. This idiot asked If he could take out my shields. naturally I was resistant to this and said 'no this ship has too many valuable items' he replied with 'well I could just shoot you and take them all' naturally I immediately docked and switched to my bomber. After undocking I gave out some well deserved verbal retribution to the miscreant Paul. he was wholly unappologetic and continued to call me crazy man. At this point a TT whos name I did not get opened fire on Paul without warning stripping his Gunboat of its shields. Paul assumed it was I that had opened fire and attacked me. I attempted a fast evasive manouver and whilst trying to type a message for ceasefire I inadvertently released a torp which took out my bomber. Now this in itself may appear as a comedy of errors however if we look at the facts. I should not have to be defending a bank from my hermanos. TT should not be attacking other corsairs when there is a situation being handled by an elder.
Since then I have attempted to help the TT in training. A group of TT and some other indies were outside Crete using bombers to take down an osiris. I assisted in this training. At the end of which a titan under TT colours of the TT attacked my bomber stripping its shields this fool then said I was not welcome to train with the TT. Naturally I returned fire and stuck a nova into the idiot. The TT corsair was destroyed before he even made his first pass. Now had I been that corsair Id have been clearly asking for help of someone who can destroy a titan in one pass, I ceratinly wouldnt be trying to threaten him.
These idiots have annoyed me, attacked me, harassed other corsairs, incited violence, made up their own rules, disrespected corsair elders and generally made us look like a bunch of capital ship wimps who need to hide behind a million tonnes of metal.
hermanos I am nearing breaking point. What can we do to educate these idiots in our politics, structure and beleifs. I am certain there is good in them. They are without direction and seem incapable of communicating effetively with us...... bah not so long ago I would have just killed the lot of them. Ahhh it greives me so much as there are some fantastic Corsair pilots who do not fly as part of a faction who show respect and goodwill to the Corsair people in general. We need to take a moderate approach is my gut instinct hermanos. We should not shun these people but certainly they need a voice and need to be heard so that we can include them in our ideas and plans. If we separate ourselves from them now we will never get them where they need to be. The TT seem to have some kind of organisation can we not invite them here and ask them to be part of our community so that we can culture them and raise their faction to be something great. There are many independents around crete who rely on us to use common sense and not rely on our hearts which tell us to act with emotion and not cold hard sense. I regret now that I have shot at one of the TT but as you all know I am often one of the first to go for the guns. Not this time amigos we need to consider this matter more carefully. We cannot always place demands upon our hermanos who are born with the right of free will and speech. Let us instead harness this and guide them and encourage them in our ways. This is what I came here to say today. What are your thoughts Amigos?"
Gentle flipped open his cybernetic leg and pulled out a bottle of sirius60 and a dozen collapsible glasses. Puring himself a drink he pushed forward the whisky and motioned for all to help themselves.
