Senors, I am writing in regard to an incident that took place recently.
As far as I am aware, one of my young operatives was fired upon by two of your pack.
The version of events laid out to me places Mr. and Mrs. Voronov in space as a Hessian ship approached Gamma. My young operative explains that the pair demanded he not fire upon or otherwise hassle the clearly hostile incoming ship. Assumably omitting some details, the operative's private vessel was then destroyed by the Brotherhood ships.
I would firstly state categorically that I intend to pursue this matter thoroughly regardless of the fact that the operative in question is both young, inexperienced, and perhaps a little unaware of his place. I would like to expect Brotherhood co-operation with this, and Brotherhood assistance with settling the matter.
If possible, I would like to be sent FULL AND DETAILED accounts from all parties regarding their perspective of the incident.
Co-operation is a two-way process, and you should be made aware that a number of my family are so enraged by what has happened that they are pressuring for military action to be taken. Continued co-operation from the Benitez family hangs in the balance, and will be effected greatly by the Brotherhood's co-operation in this enquiry. Whilst we are not threatening war, be warned that the individual members of my family may not feel motivated to assist you in the War of Theta if the Brotherhood do not commit to seeking an explanation to why a Corsair vessel was destroyed by Brotherhood members without the council's approval. If this is the decision that they take as a result, it is against my own code of ethics to order them to back down.
I hope this matter will be looked into fairly, in the interests of continued friendship between our organisations.
