Brotherhood Bar-Talks

[chavez]

"Ivan, look, I have disagreed with my father all my life, so why should anyone care whether I support his decisions now when he's death? Yes, I am his bloodline, but so what? That doesn't give me any privileges."

She made a pause and continued: "Do you want to know my opinion? OK, then listen. I like you guys, you are reliable, you're excellent pilots and you are loyal. However you tend to escalate every little misunderstanding and deal it like a blood feud or something. We of course run after your help, but you can't expect us to start shooting those who don't approve our relationship. I mean, your ships are still Xeno tagged, which means some of our younger and unskilled brothers may be confused and make some wrong actions. We do our best to explain them all how to behave, but it's impossible to talk to every single corsair. We wouldn't be doing anything else. And there are also other corsair factions than the brotherhood and you shouldn't stay between us if you really care for the Corsairs."

"You want to help us protect Corsair homes? What if you guys had the Corsair alignment, would that be too much? That would actually solve a lot of things. I, of course, want you to stay in Gamma with us but you should ask for the Elders' point of view, not mine. And don't look at me with that caring look in your eyes, my friend, or this espresso cup could land right between your eyes."

She finished her little speech, smiling at him and waiting for his reply...
