Sailing for Lower Tides

[vladimir26]

Massimo leans down on the seat, visible surprised by Voncloud's shift of attitude. Several nerves were hit with a single bullet. As he listens, with his eyes raised and his jaw on the floor, a couple giggles can't be helped to remain hidden. As Voncloud continues his frenzy, Massimo manages to connect some dots. A big irony presents itself around Voncloud, with his departure during Canaria's annexation to the present days, claiming back his precious Pygar with corsair support. Who would've thought he would attempt to employ the same oppressive actions that made him flee against his own kin?

Midway into Von's talks for peace, Massimo begins to stare with a silly face towards him, fighting with all his power not to burst into laughing. The conclusion is clear as daylight. Von's upset of Phoenix taking his beloved toy, and he went to the Deterrence to help him get it back. In the same time, the Corsair factions desperately need a victory to present to Crete to mask their latest failures, the loss of Fes, Kefalonia, the crippling of Freeport 9 and the Penitence as a few of note. Out of any potential victory, Phoenix and Pygar are the safest bet. How much opposition can a small Zoner faction put against them? They are about to find out.

Under normal circumstances, these developments would be of no interest to the Black Sails. But, the rising count of failures from the other Corsair factions is taking a toll on the Black Sails in the form of reduced support and reinforcements from Crete in favor of those fools trying to keep Freeport 9 from total destruction and conquer a horseshit like Pygar.

The Black Sails ain't willing to support such incompetence and allow their hard earned supplies be used against a folish show of force, therefore alternative solutions must be found. The plague must be eradicated from it's core.

Just as Von finished his speech, a guard hastily shows up near Von, alarmed by his frenzy, but he's promptly stopped by Massimo. Signor Voncloud, finally we can agree on something. Your time spent here as our guest has come to an end. But, before we part ways, it would be unpolite to deprive signor Burton of his right to reply.
