If you consider Pedro's recommendation to distance ourselves from you, for at least the time being, an insult, then we know the mentality of your kind, Ivan. You do fight well, you do make sacrifices, that much is clear. But we cannot and will not bow down to the will of the Coalition. I see now it was a mistake to believe that you and your kind fight because of anything but orders. You will sit idle to let us die if you were so ordered to. I don't blame you, I blame the person who gives the order; it is becoming ever clearer who the order will, or has already come from.
None of the Brotherhood will back down.
None of the Brotherhood will give in.
None of the Brotherhood will rely on a traitor.
Not anymore.
End Transmission.

You refer to your brothers, dismissively as kids. You are stubborn, and disrespectful to my friends.
You do not do everything in your power to help your brothers, instead you seek to divide us under the thinning visage of trying to achieve unity "at the point of a gun".
You seek only the best for your only cause. You have abandoned and betrayed those that would never seek to do the same to you. You desire only the furthering of the causes sought by the Coalition. If they coincide with ours for a time, then you hide it with that. I was your friend Ares, but now we must go our separate ways.
What will you do when, in fifty years, you are old and battle weary, and you see the glorious nation of the Corsairs rise to dominate Sirius, and you are left on the sidelines, wearing a tattered Coalition badge and dented medals. That will be all you have left of your great cause. Yet you will cling on to your ideals of socialism and continue to fight a lost battle until you can not even get into your ship. Your stubbornness is so typical of those that choose to leave their home in search of a new cause.
Remember, in the future, it was your choice and not ours.
