Council of the Corsair Elders

[Carlos_Benitez]

Time had passed, and the Council re-convened. A new issue had risen on the agenda; a new familia had risen and where causing much trouble in Corsair space. Battles had been fought, blood had been shed, and mistakes had been made on both sides.
As elders gathered in the chamber to discuss the situation, Carlos placed a small silver device on the pedestal in the centre of the amphitheatre.
As the elders took their seats, he cleared his throat and addressed the council for the first time in many weeks.

"Friends, we are gathered today to adress the issue of the Reyes familia. Since their arrival, they have angered many elders with their disrespectful ways, and on at least one occasion, good corsairs..." he said motioning toward his familia behind him "...have lost their calm".
Afew members of the OPG sniggered.
"Faced with the prospect of exile from Corsair territory, however, the Reyes familia have agreed to make an effort towards reconciliation. To that end, they have so far agreed to terminate disrespectful conduct and to follow the rulings of this council.
I speak to you today, as one of the major players in the conflict, who's actions may have lead to the loss of ships and lives. For that, I am sorry.
However, hopefully all-out civil war can be prevented today.
The Reyes familia have pledged to cease their disrespectful and counter-productive actions and co-operate with the rest of the nation, if we hear and consider a proposal from their representative. "

Carlos gestured towards the sliver device, which opened and projected a hologram onto the air above. A 3D representation of the leader of the Reyes appeared in the middle of the chamber filled with the Elders of Crete, and addressed the Council.
