Council of the Corsair Elders

[Reverend Del]

An aide walked into the chamber looking flustered.

"My lords I apologise for this interruption but we have a signal breaching all of our protocols and firewalls, whatever this is it's sourced from Liberty. We suspect Lane Hacker technologies to be the root of the problem. Request permission to lock down the system and re-boot. We'll not eb able to communicate outside of this building for five..."

At that moment the chambers emergency lighting came on. A sterile computerized voice came over the speakers.

"WARNING! Firewalls have been breached, incoming communication: Source; Sylpheed, Crime Boss of the Liberty Rogues. This signal is attached to technology sourced from allies of the Outcasts, isolating it from the main system. Do you wish to see the transmission?"

It was unclear which of the Elders pressed yes, but it was clear one of them did.

The centre of the room lit-up with a holographic projection of a man standing in the center of a projection room smoking a cigar. The man looked to be in his mid 50's, hair greying at the temples, well built and tall. He exuded a charisma even through this simple projection.

"Sorry about the drama folks, but your system wouldn't let me send a message the traditional way. Seems it has an issue with them Outcasts. So I borrowed something from our friends on Mactan, I say borrowed if that prid Moriarty ever finds out it'll turn nasty quite quickly, but that's neither here nor there considering what I want to say.

"Let's say I'm a little tired of the nothing me and my boys get from the Outcasts, and I'm looking to open up other avenues of business. After all we're pirates and all that jazz. Now it seems to me that you boys and gals are hurting a bit in Liberty what with it being such a bastion of the Outcasts, but what if I said I had a proposition that could even out the balance. Give you hispanics a bit of a foothold there. Now I ain't talking full alliance, just a little something that could give you a slice of the Liberty pie."
