To Boss Sylpheed of the Liberty Rogues

[Outcast Council of Dons]

Rogues and Outcasts, I freely admit that I, Basilisk, was the one who did not engage the destroyer Terminator. I would, however, like to point out the inconsistencies and outright lies in this report. I ask that you hear me out. We have flown, fought and lost comrades together long enough that we cannot lose a long held friendship over this incident.

Here goes.

The Destroyer Terminator did indeed fire on the said Outcast ending with the destruction of his ship. This act has damaged the long history I have had with the ships captain and will most likely lead to me turning my back on him. Before this happened he was told he would be destroyed by a pair of GS a bomber and that saber. I tried to stand in as a middle man and offered to escort the destroyer out of Rogue space to avoid the bloodshed that ensued. I was ignored by both parties and the fight broke out.
I did not laugh, just the opposite. I was horrified at the sight of my friends fighting to the death and I expressed this many times. The destroyer took down one of the GS and damaged the other before it was too destroyed. It did not make it. I am not sure why he says it escaped when he himself said he had the commander in his hold. I tried to convince him to return him to Malta to stand before the Dons, but I was again ignored.

At this point the surviving GB (Sadistic Intent), who has a personal grudge against me, insinuated that I am a traitor for not engaging a fellow Outcast and then chased my ship, on loan from the Hackers named the Hells Descent, to Rochester.

The GS that was destroyed and the saber that was destroyed along with the bomber somehow joined in. I attempted to dual one on one the Bad mouthing GB for his words but he is a coward, I will find him later.
The last thing I would like to say is at no time did I laugh. The only thing I did was try to prevent a fight which I failed at, miserably.

I believe my history and deeds speak for them self and this will be dealt with appropriately.

For the Cardi!

Basilisk, Outcast
