I designed a new trace signature for your ship, thats being uploaded right now to your main computer. This will identify your ship as part of a new Phalanx, this time a joint outcast/lane hacker operative, designed to recruit the young rebels around and crush the houses.
I known about your concern with this issue, related to your past. But you known, Henry, you had given me such good ideas that cant be discarded right away just because you fear those ghosts from the past. You have to learn to live with it. I give you the choice, you insert this signature in your identification and join the Phalanx, or you remain alone as of always.
Nicholas Volsung already joined it and he will be your admiral, in case you accept my invitation. He had made good experience especially concerning the systems on the rim. You will take orders from him, and he from me, as I will control the tactical operations from here, where a lane hacker guerrila is established. My Leiden office was closed due to the depletion of resources on our finances, necessary to rebuild the new Theseus. I known you have been against it for a long time, and it pissed you off to see the Theseus back into action. But Im determined to crush the houses, to bring revolution and freedom for all it citizens, and with the genetical research from dr James Edwards, a new age will begun with a better, enhanced humanity. James had got a transport from Beaumont to here, and he is now safe in our underground installations.

Ok Andre, you win. I inserted the signature on my ship and will accept your leadership. I knewn Nicholas personally recently, here on Malta, and he convinced me about the necessity of a union of outcasts and lane hackers towards a common goal. No more lone pirates going in and out taking fire from the houses without support.
About my past, cardamine freed me from all those pains. The mutations from it brought me to a new kind of existence. Im not anymore pissed off with the Theseus being recomissioned by the funds gathered by Raphael Thames hacking operations. And he is indeed right about the overpowering of the houses in the recent months.
I will let Thames in Malta and I will get back to Liberty and restart my operations. Thames also said to me he heard rumours about a rogue admiral within the liberty navy who attempted a purgue and, after failing it, is joining with you in California Minor, from where he will launch his dreadnought against the navy. I hope he brings a good assistance to our fight.
