〘Set Subject: Group-58 Contract〙

⫸ So you choose to attack real threats instead of harassing your suppliers. If only others saw as clearly as you and yours. There are so few corsairs left with such a simple, yet logical moral compass. Perhaps you can expand on your opinions surrounding these Phoenix Zoners. Curiosity eats at me, nothing more. But otherwise I believe we can move on.

Now that we are past introductions, we can get to the real some real talk. You are familiar by now that my family is not a fan of the Corsairs. That means The Detterence and The Brotherhood. Omicron Theta is in complete disarray and innocents suffer from it. Why? To feed the already overinflated ego of some Elders. Elders who, in my opinion, have long lost sight of what's important for a nation and what's not. And here's another fun story: some self proclaimed Saviours of Humanity have been assisting Detterence forces into strengthening their presence right under Phoenix's nose. Hypocrites, all. Who knows? Maybe a good start to an otherwise shaky partnership is to begin attacking both The Order and your uninspired cretans on occasion.

I have to ask one thing, though. Are you okay with that, señor? To dislike your brethren is one thing; to drive a knife in their hearts is another -- regardless of the reasons behind such an act.

Now, now, it's you who got excited of the perspectives of our, uhm, whatever this is. Life is simple, black or white, any shade of grey is for politics, which is futile. We usually let our guns do the talking, but not when it's unwise. That's the case for Phoenix, cuz if you recall, I did mentioned we're saints dressed in black, serving a greater good.

About your opinions of the foolish elders, I'm surprised to see how accurate they are. And I have to admit that I'm very touched by your concern about the current struggles of the Corsair Empire, but I won't buy the way you paint this bullshit. Let's make a deal and keep this to facts, as we're not here to impress each others or grow your family.

Life is simple as I said, but simple is not always simple. This can relate to our current situation. What would please me the most is to grab those elders by the neck and crush their skulls under my boot, but unfortunately we cannot do that, nor even attempt it. What we can do though is erode the external support for Deterrence and The Brotherhood by terrorizing their bootlickers until they run like mice from a sinking ship. Subversion.

About the Order, our common friends have already pissed them off a short while ago by flying transports full of relics in open sight. They pissed them so much that they even opened fire on them. We don't mind them that much, but if they ask for it, a devastating reply shall be sent. So, for now, I propose we focus one rabbit per shot.

⫸ Let us keep it simple then, Massimo of the Black Sails. Never say I don't put in the effort to adapt to what's on the table.

We'll shoot the shit together every now and then. Both Detterence and Brotherhood will have their so called 'bootlickers' dealt with. No strings attached.

I will however insist that whenever my boys lay waste on these two warbands, yours stay out of the fight and turn the other way. Unlike you, we're not held back by having to play nice. This more or less plays to your advantage. I suggest we maintain that.

In other news, you will want to check in with a good friend of mine, Jose Noboa. He's a fence running his business on Freeport 11. Whatever shiny baubles you find ought to go through him. He's also a good source of spare parts for Corsair Fighters in case your envoy finds themselves in a pinch. Before you ask: yes, they are genuine components - I tried them myself. Beats having to go through salvage everytime to fix my Titan.

I'm delighted we got to see eye to eye in such a short notice. Maybe, after all, your family might grow bigger. I do have one single condition for this to happen, Eleven gets to be my precious. I'll treat him nice, don't sweat it. Some purple make up and a red lipstick would fit him like a charm. And maybe one of those bretonian kilts.

You seem to be a hunter yourself don't you? Or, more like a fisherman, trying to catch them all in a net? So do we, and we despise to allow someone else to toy with our prey. Either way, it will make due. Have your fun with the Corsairs, for now. But, do tell Eleven he owes me bigtime for staying on the side and going for fucking Zoners instead. There's no honor in that, no pride, but the rum will wash the sorrow away.

Jose Noboa, you flying a Titan, should I even ask how the bloody hell you got one, and what happen with it's owner? As for the extra loot, most of it will pay for our stay in the Omicrons, but I assume I can toss some crumbs towards you.
