Council of the Corsair Elders

[bluntpencil2001]

As Pedro's demonstration continued on, Ares leaned forward in his seat with great interest.

Revolution in Rheinland was on his mind. Already the people in Bretonia were beginning to throw off their shackles of oppression, so perhaps it was time to give the Rheinlanders a similar taste of freedom.

He nods at each of Maniaco's points, taking it all in with some enthusiasm.

He offers his support, but has a minor issue with the plan,

"A well-thought out and presented plan, Elder Maniaco. Long have the Corsairs been planning the invasion and long have the Coalition been planning the Revolution in Rheinland. The two should go hand in hand.

However, there is a problem. I've been up that end of Sirius a few times, and that jumphole, the one to New Berlin by Yanagi Depot, is... unreliable. It phases in and out on a regular basis. Some pilots have disappeared, or been fired into stars. It's rare but it happens. Latest reports from agents on Yanagi suggest that the hole is going to go entirely out of phase soon, making it unusable.

The other jumphole, to Frankfurt, has better reports, but I'm somewhat skeptical. That and I don't trust the Junkers.

Also, on RepEx Shipping... They won't cooperate. They won't work for us and will likely inform the Rheinland government. They are loyal to that bastard Chancellor of theirs, I have no doubts there.

Might I suggest looking for another avenue of attack? Perhaps through the Omegas, if the Independent Miner's Guild are willing to offer assistance?"
