First, being a decent pilot has nothing to do with anything. My message represented the cries of the core of the Brotherhood. I sent it with your so-called 'friend's consent. He was going to direct you a very similar message, but perhaps a bit more subtle way. It turns out that I do have the cojones to do my job as a Corsair, Brotherhood and friend, and get into things many wouldn't because they are afraid to be criticized.
Second: In Rheinland?! In Rheinland, I gave a lot of suggestions which I thought would help win the battle. It turns out that only one of them was taken, and it had something to do with the ships' weapons, not with the battle tactics. I followed orders to the letter, always, despite my disagreements at the last battle with your tactics, the same one that costed us our battle before that one. And yes, you can ask this to any other one who was in the group. (remember I suggested not to shoot at a certain someone who evaded a lot?) You mean in Sigma-17, where finally although my tactic was not taken into account, I fought as best I could.
Third: Did I tell you not to set foot on Crete again right now? No! I said if you dared to leave in those terms, then you better not come back. Have you left? I am not aware that it is so. As long as you really stand up for what you claim you have been doing, which is defending Crete, then I don't see a reason for you to leave. I do CARE and ACT for what is mine, for my friends, my brothers, and my home. I will defend Crete with my life, and so will every real Corsair and Brotherhood. If you take it as an insult, that's not my problem. I want to let you know all of us have decided, so have I. And if you actually practice what you preach, like I always do, then you would not leave as you are threatening to do.
What I and the rest of us do, is for Crete and all Corsairs. If you share this thought in your heart as we do, then you are our ally. I don't mean to offend you, I want you to know.
Sky out.
