Signora Fiorella A. de Marco,
My name is Michela Calliente of the Deterrence. Yes, you read that right, I represent the interests of the Corsair Imperio.
Before you press “Delete“, allow me to quickly explain that this is not a trick or some silly joke. I’ve absolutely no intention of wasting your or my time either. I have some begrudging respect for the competition, but my interests are firmly into protecting the Corsair sovereignty, integrity, and our interests. Make no mistake.
Now that's out of the way - I would have not contacted you unless I didn’t consider it vital. I will get straight to the point. The current conflict is a sham. A ploy for an open war between our people in order to weaken us. I’ve read your dossier. Our intelligence suggests the profile of a smart and calculating woman, one that’s flexible. Ask yourself the question - who benefits the most out of depleted Corsairs and Outcasts? I’ll mince no words in stating that I believe the true purpose of this conflict is for Core and the Bounty Hunter Guild to weaken both our nations, while moving in the aftermath. In short, you are being puppeteered and led on a string.
We have strong reasons to suspect that some of the Zoners on Freeport 9 are complicit in the recent assassination and they were paid off by Core. The match that lit the fire. And while I would prefer to see the Outcasts dead, there’s balance in a cold war with the occasional small scale skirmish. I’m sure this would allow us to pursue other more fruitful avenues.
I can already guess your next question - where is the proof? We don’t have it. It’s a guess. But we both know that’s better than a guess. There’s more at play here and I am sure you can feel that too. I would rather be honest and direct than to send some fabrication for Outcasts operatives to disassemble eventually. A little truth opens doors, as the saying goes, and we are running out of time. Even if you win, this conflict would cost you dearly.
Make your own independent inquiry, check the facts. True or not, it will change the narrative until cooler heads prevail and figure out what really happened. I suggest you consider my words, no one benefits from an all-out war while our other enemies gather strength.
