Let me explain my point of view. I heard, I think by you or it was by Alberto Rodriguez, but Insurgency worked with those Outcasts in the past years to stop our transport ships, si? If you confirm this statement, why don't we rise and spit at their face? Always in their broadcast, they openly said this and I quote: 'These ships, identified as Liberty Insurgency ships, are to be allowed free passage through Corsair space, and docking rights.'
It just make me angry so deep that I just want to go to action and simply tell them to cease this inconceivable work. No matter what if I need to break a law or two of our empire. I am sure other solo Corsairs want to express their thoughts about this nonsense.

Dear Nina,
I very well understand your frustration seeing clueless baboons accepting gringos all the way from Liberty, who have indeed worked with Outcasts, as well as targetted our artifact shipments numerous times. We won't take agressive action just yet, with a hope that certain hombres realise that they are Corsairs, not just anyone else in Sirius and that they remember what being a Corsair means.
We've sent our reliable senor Xim to leave them a response from our side. For now, we will not hunt Insurgency ships as long as their warships, which is gunboat class and larger, stay away from Omicron Gamma and our installations. However, they are a completely untrusted group, so we will never cooperate with them. The fact that Deterrence is willing to accept some filthy Libertonians as their own is the most digusting behaviour I've ever seen in the Empire for the past decade.
If you have any more questions about the present situation, I will be here to answer them. As for our move after that, patience will be important to avoid uneccessary conflict and we will respond accordingly to the future sequence of events. But at this moment, the time is not ripe for action and I will note that this is only a temporary solution, until a better one is hopefully found.
This might sound like a roundabout move, but the Elders judgement consider it as the best one for now. So, please trust us.
I will set sails to Bretonia for a good moment. If I stay, I will literally take action. And knowing me, you won't see any problem I leave. You will prefer this than what I think to do.
I returned to Crete after three years. You won't believe me that I crossed the path of an old corsair wearing the color of The Sails. I do not know if the pilot belonged to the said group, but I will try to investigate if I have time. All I have as ship's callsign is this: Mia.Galilea|Sails
On another topic, I heard less and less about us, but more about ~that group~ if you see what group I am talking about. Is The Brotherhood begins to be a relic of the past? If so, what should we do to make noise and tell to everyone we are here?

Nina,
It has been a while, hasn't it? Your safe return has brought a pleasant smile on my face. I hope your time in Bretonia was not too bad, at least I know their food is the worst in all of Sirius, but then, we're not that picky. While our numbers are not what they used to be, we still continue to contribute to the Empire as well as we can. I've been left with more work recently, as Elder Rodriguez has declared his absence for a brief period of time, but he will continue to do his duties. Until then, I am picking up the slack.
I am aware of remnants of Black Sails still occasionally "resurfacing", even if they are rare. But in the end, it's very unlikely they will be reuniting as a large group like they used to, unfortunately. Still, having a chance to say a simple "hola" to them is an honor.
You've likely heard about recent sequence of events, regarding the death of senor Garcia and Freeport 9. All sorts of hombre are talking and there are words about a high possibility of a group of Zoners to turn against our Empire, so this is where we will likely start showing what we can do. Some of them are looking for a diplomatic solution, such as Doc Holliday and MFE, some Zoners are scared and panicking that we will go after planet Pygar, and finally there are supposedly Zoners who are bloodthirsty and plan to take over Freeport 9. Those are the ones we will eliminate first, if they dare to make that attempt.
We were also contacted by a new raising organisation from Gallia called Zurich Accord, and they are interested in establishing some kind of cooperation with our Empire. It would be a good idea to have you join me meeting them to increase our presence, once it's decided when, if you are interested, of course.
Not to worry, this is only a beginning and further plans and sorties will be organised afterwards.
Zurich Accord rings me no bell at all. If you want me to be there, then I can show up.
As for those Zoners, I pay no attention really. If they are suicidal, that’s on them. And it is also ridiculous thinking that we will take Pygar. It’s the same type of planet as Crete anyway.
If we want another planet, we better go for a planet with the ability to do agriculture.
On a personal concern, I went in Kusari and I heard some bad news. I will say it in person when it will be possible.

Not all Zoners are smart and it shows.
The "bad news" part is something I do not like hearing, but it's inevitable either way. I will have to hear this at the closest convenient time.

Hermana,
I would be lying if I said I didn't feel a little bit of disappointment, however, your valuable contributions to Imperio will be remembered. Stand proud of your work, hermana! If you're retiring to deeper Omicrons, you might meet Alberto. When he is not throwing Hessians in Thales anomaly and watching them turn into spaghetti, he sometimes runs small tasks in upper Omicrons while visiting his familia. Make sure to give him some trouble, he is el cabron! Not to worry, your retirement did not majorly impact any of our work and I took care of the rest. Your seat was not left empty for long.
I very much appreciate you taking your patience to talk to the so-called "Black Sails" and acquiring information from them. Gracias to you, we're even more certain, they're genuine idiots with a highly noticable lack of intelligence and their recent actions prove it even further. While there is no concrete proof of Gaians cooperating with Mollys, they did however openly state the interest to cooperate against Mollys in exchange to be spared, but these locos have no self control with their trigger happy fingers. Gaians are not our enemies, but they are not our allies anymore either, so we will keep an eye on them. The "Black Sails" however are not capable of thinking and will only force Gaians to consider forming a cooperation with Mollys with their excessive hostility. It's a shame they have so much spare energy and it is not directed to our true enemies. I will be sharing some words with that Gaian hombre that contacted us. Gracias again!

I got a little heads up that your retirement is over. Caramba! Entire Imperio got a little heads up! Everyone is talking about your appearance on Canal Uno!
I heard Machete has been having fun and adding extra fuel on fire by convincing local loco residents of his village that Ravenna's army will be sieging them soon.
I do not even want to imagine the outburst that happened there. What an idiota, sometimes I think I should've left him to spend many more of his days to thoroughly enjoy Brotherhood specialty, the Dirty Chewing Rope.
And you, senorita temeraria! Challenging someone who has been M.I.A. for years to duel! No one knows where Ravenna is or if she is even alive and now some malditos are questioning if the entire Brotherhood is starting to turn loco! Malditos, I am telling you! How about we convince them we are even more loco than they think? There has been an increased appearance of Red Hessian cruisers in Omega systems, which I do not like.
We'll show malditos we are even more loco than they thought and we will pirate those Hessian cruisers! Los pesos or their lives, preferably the latter, as best Hessian is a dead Hessian. Sounds fun, si? I'd even pay big pesos to see that.
If you still insist on challenging Ravenna, the Deterrence might send some loco ace pilota who wants to prove their name against you, but knowing you, that will not satisfy you. Let's forget about that now. Tell me, how you've been? I can see you are in as high spirits as always. *he chuckles*.
There have been muy bien changes in Imperio during your little absence. Did you see that little trailer video we produced? Even I was in it, looking like mucho loco macho! Elder Buonocore was in a hurry and with limited budget, so we had your doppelganger be part of it. I was highly impressed! Una chica muy biena, si?
What about you? You might be known as "the youngest Elder of Imperio", but now you are also known as the youngest elder in retirement as well. *he smiles mockingly* Don't mind me teasing you, hermana. Me and other hermanos missed you.
I do sincerely hope you used your time well and have something interesting to share, something good. How about we meet at the usual spot?
