"Enough, all of you. Corsairs, I got somethin to say, and you'd better all listen real close now - We junkers haul for whoever pays the most. If you want us to stop hauling for everyone else and start acting like your personal workforce, then fork up the damn credits! It's been like this for longer than anyone, on either side of this argument, can remember. If you dont like it, we'll stop supplying you, simple as that. We're already cutting off your little hogosha dogs in the sigmas and taking those artifacts for ourselves, so the way I see it... you boys aint got much choice but to deal with us."

"There used to be a mutual understanding here. The 'sairs left us alone, same way everyone else left us alone, and in return we supplied your pathetic little wars and smuggled your shinies into house space for you. Now, in the past months 'ere... this situation's changed. You little rats constantly attack Junker ships, regardless of the cargo being carried. You've even tried to pirate our ships that are hauling crap to your stations and planets. That seem right to you? Didnt think so."

"Tell your boys to quit buggin Junker ships, and you wont have to deal with bounties... or lack of food, for that matter. Now personally, I dont find starvin people all that attractive, but if you want to eat each other because you cant calm yerselves down enough to deal with levelminded men like myself, so be it."

"Simple terms, 'sairs. Stop attacking us, stop demanding our cargo and credits, regardless of who they're purchased from or where they're bound for, and we'll gladly work for you just like we used to. You may think us simple scrap mongering pushovers, but I guarantee you that we're not a force to take lightly, and you do not want to piss us off."
