I appreciate your stance on this matter, as well as your swift response. However, it would appear that your comrades continue to carry on penalising the entire Hessian movement for the actions of the very small few. You see, there is a small matter of an entire squadron of Omega-47 defenders not being accounted for yesterday, when no Corsair assault took any place on their flank that day. At first I was concerned about renewed slaver operations, but it seems the very aptly named vessel RFS-Freedom has conducted this act of slavery on its own, as evidenced in its captain's transmission on this channel. Thanks to the "Freedom" several of my comrades are now in Corsair slavery. A Zoner battleship capturing Hessian border patrol fighter squadrons? This only proves the maliciousness of yet another unit within the Zoner community, it is an utterly despicable and deplorable act, not to mention wholly unacceptable.

I want to inform you therefore that the Red Hessian movement never leaves its members behind. I request the Zoner Council broker with whatever Corsair warlord this Zoner slaver sold my pilots to, and arrange their safe return. A cover of the expenses for their return would be good as well. Feel free to force the captain of the RFS-Freedom to fork out for their safe return, as well as for the materials for replacement ships (that, or the return of said ships, were they captured in an intact state), and having him change his ship's name to something in line with his recent deeds would be nice too. Or perhaps a confiscation of his ship would be better, considering he is out of line of the Zoner way... Unless the Zoner Council now abides by slavery, that is? I have been a vehement supporter of the ZAS for quite a while, along with my RRA comrades, and it would be bad to see their work undermined like this.

I know we can work this thing out as quickly and efficiently as we disregarded the threats of the other rampaging Juggernaut captain.

Regards,

Now that's rather unfair. The Hessians with us, and those who have left us to join the Corsair farmers, came of their own free will. Regarding the former Hessians who defected to us and then proceeded to live with the Corsair farmers on Gran Canaria, it is hardly fair to refer to them as "slaves".

Yes, we do use slaves on our ship, but they are given equal voting power to all other members of the crew and are afforded the same food, housing, and medical care allowances, and are granted their autonomy after serving for one tour; most choose to stay.
None of the slaves aboard our ship are captured pilots, and there are certainly no Hessians onboard the Freedom who are not here of their own accord.

While the Zoners Abolishing Slavery may be our brothers, not all of us see eye to eye with their pro-corporate agenda. Even if the Council of Zoners, of which my crew are members represented by myself, asked us to change our ship's name or standard operating procedures, we are under no legal obligation whatsoever to do so.

Your message indicates a terrible ignorance of the Zoner way of life, and I would like to extend my invitation to visit us and speak with the former Hessians among our crew to you as well. Your lack of knowledge is a sad reflection on the state of education among the Red Hessians of Sirius; we hope that you will some day care for and educate your children with the diligence they deserve. Perhaps, like the other former Hessians, you too will repent and see the truth.
