Discussion Between Pepe Benitez and Juno Kietan

[pipsqueak]

Hermana, remember that you do have a choice as to where you trade, we on the other hand do not have many allies nor many resources to try to conduct trade. We have scanned your ship running all over sirius. Whats with carrying 1 cardamime plant? is it just to taunt us to attack ? or are you trying to forget the hardships of real life or may be the past. I know mi amiga it hurts but cardamime is not the solution.

We are not asking you to take food away from your sisters lips or financially ruin you so you cant help them. If the god forsaken facility was in Gamma sector, we would have given all effort to make sure that your sister's were freed. When a kid is born it is just a kid. It is the environment that shapes them to become what they become when they grow up. There is no difference between a a corsair kid and a GC kid, they both laugh and cry at the same things . I feel your pain and I understand your concern. But if it is really about the money, you could have given the Benitez a fraction of the money you are spending on your hunt rampage and we would not only have left you alone, but would have protected you the best we could have. You "donation" would have put us on a path to self-reliance again.
You want to trade through gamma, Buy from the Corsair shop. Our artifacts fetch big prices in the inner systems. We do not have the transports to do it our selves. You talk about hunger, look around and see what you have available to you, pepe gestured to the plates of food sitting in the chamber. We, the corsairs, on the other hand have done things out of desparation that will shudder you to the bones. We ate our own brothers and sisters to survive. The elders from previous generations decided who was going to be used as a source of protein and the proud ones silently laid down to be butchered to save us. I, as an elder will not allow that to happen again, I do not have the heart for it. You want to see desparation, visit the deserts of Montoya on crete and see the mass graves we dug for the bones of our loved ones.

This is all I have to say to you. You still disagree about this discussion mi nombre'. So be it. I guess I have failed. Throw me out of the air lock and put this old man out of his misery.
Last but not least, please don't cry. I would hug you, but I cant. Pepe pointed to his shackles. Remember mi Nombre', We are not bad people. We, out of sheer desparation are put in a situation that we are forced to do bad things we are ashamed of.
