To: The Gaians | From: Black Sails

[Madvillain]

Ah, so you’ve decided to show us the "Black Sails" way, have you? Most amusing. I must admit, when you mentioned sending a "delegation" to Torshavn, I didn’t expect a delegation of clowns. But then, I suppose I was being far too hopeful. You’ve certainly raised the bar for what passes as diplomacy. Now, do enlighten me, what exactly have you learned from this little escapade? Perhaps we should simply have a word with your Elders? Unless, of course, you'd rather we spare them the trouble? Next time, if you need something from us, don’t hesitate to ask. Though, I’ll warn you, the answer might still be "no" and it would be "no" in the most emphatic manner possible. I could hardly begin to explain the sheer absurdity of your actions. Frankly, were it not for the fact that someone has to play the sensible one and prevent a full diplomatic disaster, we’d be sending your Elders the bill for all the unnecessary damage your... "enthusiastic" crew caused. Take a good long look, and consider what might happen if you try this sort of thing again. I’m sure the next round of "negotiations" would be... quite the spectacle, wouldn’t it? In the meantime, do take care. It’s all fun and games until someone ends up with a very large mine to the face.
