Brotherhood Bar-Talks

[Laowai]

Phillipe took the outstretched hand and shook it warmly. "Sit Senor, sit" he gestured beside him.

"Senor Alexander" he said, "Is good to meet you Hermano."

Taking another swig from his glass he took up the man's inquiry. " The Brotherhood, ah, no senor, I did not have that honour. I used to work under the patronage of an ….independent Elder, but for the last few years I have been ah..." He looked down slightly. Most Corsair pilots didn't like to admit it, working "planet-side" instead of actually flying, though many more did it than would let on.

"...Working on the land" he finished.

He glanced about the bar. "So I've come here not so much looking for work for myself but for crew for the vessels I command, but, you may in fact be able to assist me Senor"

Ashing his cigarette he lit another. "You represent Elder... Vasquez you mentioned?" he took a drag from the cigarette. "You could tell him that the gunboat "Outsider" and the Cruiser "Xibanya Nuren" are in service again, and will gladly assist him when needed."

Phillipe leaned in closer. "Senor, one other thing, is there some way I can speak to your Elder, directly I mean, privately?"

He took another sip of his drink, there was nothing in it. His brow crossed, he had been so caught up in the unexpected conversation that he hadn't noticed he had finished it. He quickly motioned for another.
