The Cabal of Independent Worlds Systems (CIWS) founding enterprise. To: The informed

[The Archangels Fighter Club]

I don't think there is anything worth adding or subtracting from this. It's simply a dead end.

You don't know me, yet, but let's just say The Boss isn't happy.
If I were you, I'd not look to find him. Then again, I'm not your pretty princess either.
You've got some nerve. It takes a good amount to get The Boss this pissed off.
Then again, I don't blame him. This is a $#!t deal. What do you take us for? Idiots?

1. No Laws my ass. Looks like a long list.

2. We're not going to offer our services, trading, repair, or otherwise, to those we don't like; being obligated to by contract.

3. Diplomacy doesn't work on cleaning maids. A good slap in the right place does.

4. We are not going to help you in your little $#!t show to protect the freeport if we can't even have a place there.

5. We are not going to aid in disputes against Liberty and Rhineland if we have no worthy stake in it ourselves.

6. We are not going to agree to be forced to sharing any info, scientific or otherwise.

7. Hands off our girls. We took care of business with the last Junker that kidnapped one of them.
We are not going to let it happening again.
You want in on some action, you get cleared, checked and pay just like everyone else. This isn't a charity.

The Archangels are not your puppets.
The Archangels are not your complimentary XXX-Hotline.
The Archangels are not your racing entertainment.
The Archangels are not going to be won over by your Pacifica offer while we get moved out of the way.
You're giving space to everyone but us.
You're even sharing your ships to everyone in this group but us.

You took our Club House. We've asked for it back several times.
We made it clear that is the only thing we really care about. Not some alliance.
Now, you are trying to take our services, our research, and our girls.
You think this is funny?
You really think that is a good idea?

Let's just say you've made a critical mistake.
It's no secret that the Rat Pack is holding your balls, too.
You've lost control.
We don't want that kind of situation.
Deal's off.

We will remember this.

PS: Sunny wanted to tell you also one more thing: Give a kiss from us to Jimmy.

Who ever the fuck runs this shindig

I simply don't know where to start.

I would at the beginning but then, where the hell is that?

Let me simplify this for you, Unioners and Junkers alike.
You called for help, we replied. The only ones who had.
Now this crapfest arises and now I see we're exclusively
misrepresented in this fiasco. An oversight? Or forgotten?

I'm not going to lie, I am fucked off. To the core. We are
your biggest allies in the area yet you think you can go on
and colonize a system under a directorate with out even
giving us the common courtesy of a reach around while
you are fucking us in the arse. What the actual fuck?

So here's what the Rogues will do. We do not acknowledge
this montessori you've got going on and as such we will
neither abide nor respect what ever little school rules
you are trying to establish. We allowed you into Texas
to run your operations as our guests, Der Unioners.
We also successfully halted the persecution of you
Congressman from the Reavers when it was out
right screwing with your operations. And yet
here we are, talking about who's sticking
what into who. I can tell you now, if I
stick my little man in you, I'd have
made sure you were happy
at the end of it.

So what gives?

Jimmy the Rat here,

Lemme assure you this ain't nothin' but an oversight Lord Moka.

This little party was called together quick and dirty after Liberty tried to blockade Freeport Providence with a carrier, times like that tend to screw your priorities. So yeah, there wasn't no disrespect intended to you and your Rogues.

Now 'course there's a chair with your name on it at this table, if you'd be willin' to let this mistake slide. I'm sure a man of your experience can appreciate what we're doin' and how we can all profit from workin' together on this. Hell we're makin' history here, it would only be right for the Rogues to get their fair share of it.

Why not lay down what parts you and the Rogues want in all this so we can get this thing done right, yeah?

Ciao.

Subject: To remain ourselves, we must work together.

To the AFC:

Clearly Sunny didn't get out of bed sunny side up. We will revoke you from the document and replace you. I will notify our Arbeiters of your intentions. We will not waste time cleaning up after your diplomatic faliures any longer. Boil your anger over in peace.

To Lord Moka:

Moka. This treaty was founded on the basis of unifying elements that were already operating disparately from each other, but could have been tactically unified under one agenda. We had no idea the Liberty Rogues would express interest in being part of the proposal. Frankly, it is because we trust you implicitly that no offer was extended - we would never consider you a potential strategic risk, nor did we realise that the rogues would benefit heavily from being part of the trade. The oversight is mine. I failed.

This is not an attempt at colonisation. It is an economic and armourments sharing pact to help keep the Liberty Navy and the Bounty Hunters Guild out. If you feel the Rogues would be served by joining in the agreement, I would be willing to accept your input - especially since the Archangels are as helpful as a stack of dung, have done nothing to keep the navy out and have mostly squandered my man hours complaining about the Junkers, the Rat Pack, and other diplomatic turd-ups that are entirely their own responsibility, not mine.


Irrespectively the Arbeitsdirektor believes that the failure is my own and has ordered me to pay the Liberty Rogues one hundred million credits in compensation for negligence to properly analyse what parties would be suitable. We do not want to ruin our relations over a technicality, and we offer you place amidst the document should you require it.

You are already considered exempt from all of its provisions. There is no man in this treaty who wouldn't see themselves as comrades of the Rogues, nor would we slight your honour or your capacity, Warlord Moka.

In solidarity, in peace, I remain yours.
Sascha Lattke
Cell-Lord, Chort's Forge, Westphalia.

Sascha Lattke, Jimmy

Hmm,

I cannot say this appeases me all that much,
however I can appreciate a person who takes
responsibility and you amicably did that in
which you have garnered some respect back.

We're not interested in power grabbing, if you
knew anything about me then you would know
I already have the all the power I need. What I
do want is appreciation and respect for what my
people do for yours as we respect what your
people do for us. Now don't get me wrong here,
having been offered this position isn't exactly
what I was aiming for, but I will take it.

What I would like to see is a unified alliance
where we can have each others backs at all times.
If this is something that you can guarantee me,
then I can guarantee you can consider the Rogues
as more than just an ally, but a partner as well.

While I appreciate the thought and my inner greed
tells me to take your cash, I am still a business man
at the end of the day. So how about you consider
that hundred large as my investment into this cabal
and my true ambition to see your vision through.

I'll have our requirements to you in the coming days
about what we would like to see in this that will not
only benefit your objectives, but solidify ours.

It's about here I tell you to not test my patience again
but, well, I don't possess that attribute. Do not leave
me out of the loop again.
