Brotherhood Bar-Talks

[majkp]

Pedro Maniaco was observing the whole conflict from his table at the corner. So hot-headed the corsair men are. Bar-fights in the Boozer's Lounge were on every-day's schedule. One would understand it among the youngest ones, but if a corsair faction leader attacked another Elder it always had immense consequences. And this time it again endangered the alliance with SCRA he was working on for a long time.

Pedro was tired. Tired of trying to keep the corsairs organized and focused on the real threat. But now it seemed like ploughing the sand. He stood up, and first addressed the trader who was brave or stupid enough to come right into the squabble: "Mr. Trader, why don't you talk to the commodity dealer after you finish your drink? I am sure the price he suggests will satisfy you expectations."

Then he turned to Ares and the rest of the brothers: "Just before you all get totally drunk, remember this. I will never give up trying to keep Corsairs united. The REAL enemy is outside and they wait for every opportunity to attack. If we show them our weaknesses we loose. Mark my words!".

Then he told Ares: "I understand that your status with OPG is probably KoS, and I can't do anything about that, I just can ask you if your mutual 'discussions' could take place outside Gamma. And I'll wait for the day when you both realise that fighting against each other is useless and you come to some cease-fire agreement. The Brotherhood stays out of this."

And Pedro Maniaco walked away, checking the status of the toilet before leaving the bar.
