First of all Ares, the group who unites itself never loses. If you mean you will keep blackmailing the Elders and putting up your seemingly reasonable threats for everyone to see, do as you wish. I'm sure everyone that knows enough about the relationship between TBH and SCRA knows that we've been too dependent on your aid in the past. We have been acting as a child who calls for his big brother to help him in an equal fight. And I do say we, because I've become bonded to my brothers in this Brotherhood, deeper that your friendship with Pedro Maniaco ever really was. You have lost your respect amongst us, as most have had their eyes opened by someone who is worthy of calling himself our father, someone who has saved us countless times in the past and against all possible odds, has now managed to help us yet again, even after his death. You're treating the future of the Corsair race as useless brats, and betraying what you claim you have been trying to protect. And no, your discouragement doesn't work at all. Juan Montoya has never seemed stronger to our eyes. He's admitted his mistake, something that you have shown that are not capable of.
On a second thought... your pilots? The only pilots within the Coalition, as far as I've seen, worthy of the honors a faction can give are Ivan Voronov and Sonja Kerensky. They have been there to fulfill their duty, not hide behind their ranks. But that is not very important compared to what you should know by now. You can say you have patrolled Gamma in your Titan with a Corsair insignia carved into your underwear, and it will not change what you have made us see about you. The Rheinland Military has shown a good example of unity, and perhaps you may want to try and infiltrate them to cause conflicts between their brethren, but your own words predict what you will find: Unity. You will not be able to infect them with your parasitic ways. The Corsairs will move on to the next level, the same one that we should have been a long time ago. And in a few days when we have done our work, you will look at us and see that trait.
We are not rebels. We are independent, and we are free. We protect our allies and our friends, but we don't need the conditioned help you're offering. On behalf of all the Brotherhood, I say "No, gracias".
One more thing, you may leave Gamma and betray your friends if you want. But then, know that as long as commanders like you lead the Coalition, not one of you will set a foot on our roots, or on Crete. We do not declare you our enemies, but you may feel rejected by some of your men, those that manage to realize what you have become, and that may lead you to take a harsh decision.
Of course, we will never betray our brothers, as young as they may be. And if you choose attack us we will respond as the united people we should be.
Personally, I would not want that because some of us have made good friendships with your men, but if a battle is to come, then as a proud Corsair and member of The Brotherhood, I WILL FIGHT IT!
