Benito Huarez sat on his desk in the family's business rooms, always good informed about the ongoings in the councils chamber.
He was shaking his head. Fortunately the council had not enforced the security protocol so it was easy for him to hack in and send a message to the council.
While in discussion the holographic projector in the council chamber awoke and was showing a young man, but his face was signed by the hard life of a Corsair. He was looking serious with a fuse of anger in his eyes.
The discussion immediately stopped, when he began to speak
"Dear Council
My name is Benito Huarez. Many of you know me as a proud and honourable Corsair. My family is small and has no seat within the council, but i cannot stay beside silently any longer. My concerns are only about the future of the Corsair nation, not TBH or Benitez.
The business of my family is not piracy. Our business is the transportation of Artifacts to other colonies and on our way back we always bring essential goods to crete. Goods our nation is in need to survive. Well, the main route is leading to the Sigmas, using Theta for transit. With all the scum out there it is dangerous enough. So i was released to have save havens within Theta and its ceasefire status.
I'm not a friend of AW's political attitude and i'm not pleased with the amount of enemy warships, passing through Theta, but nevertheless AW provided a ceasefire, i trusted in always.
Now it seems TBH, Benitez and other Corsairs are not interested in this ceasefire, not thinking about the long term consequences for other Corsair families like mine.
I do remind the Council and its decisions of being responsible for all Corsairs and not only itself. Honestly, recently provocations of AW by TBH members (not speaking about honourable crew of GB Tinky) let me think some members of TBH are sniffing Cardamine secretly, forcing Corsairs into another war with AW, only BHG scum and Outcasts could be interested in.
For our nation and the safety of Artifact transportation routes i'm highly interested in to keep up the ceasefire in Theta. Therefore my recently reconvalescenzed father has taken the command of the Cruiser "INDEPENDENCIA". He has taken position on FP 9 to remind all Corsairs to keep their hands away from weapon triggers. The only exception is selfdefense. My father may have lost his legs, but i guarantee you, his willpower is unbroken and he is not as diplomatic as I am. Hopefully Corsairs do listen to another Corsair, if they do not want listen to AW.
Every short term advantage you may gain from the current situation will be turned into a long term disadvantage. This has been prooved in the past.
Same goes for these suspect robots, called Harvester. The cynical name is speaking for itself. They are an enemy, who is a threat to the group, which has prooven itself the most valuable ally, Corsairs ever had and will have. Our interest must be to support Zoners in their struggles aggainst them and to destroy the Harvester wherever they'll be found.
Learn from the past. Instead fighting the AW and supporting the Harvester, Corsairs should go the counter direction. If Harvester will ever have destroyed the Zoners, you do not know, whom against they will move next. They have no emotions. They are dirceted by cold mathematics and programms.
All is said, think about.
Huarez out"
He closed the comm channel and leaned backward.
"What do you expect?" he could hear a familiar voice behind him. "Council never heared to anyone else than the Council. An Elder is not becomming an Elder for being social and taking care about others."
"It is not too late. I do really hope, they will see the fatal mistake, they are moving in. Shall i stay behind and watch Corsairs suffer under a wrong decision?" Benito countered.
"It will not be the first one and we still have survived everyone."
