It came to my attention that you recently started operations in Omicron Theta. I was under the impression the Black Sails mainly operated in Bretonia up to now or did your objectives change? While I appreciate your help in fighting the Outcast threat in the Omicrons, I need to inform you about the special situation we have in Omicron Theta at the moment.
Recently, we have faced hostilities against Corsairs by a Zoner group called Phoenix during the retreat of the CNS-Penitence. While their ships identifiable through the callsign (\^/) are free to experience any cruelties you can come up with, other Zoner groups that were part of the Theta Summit and signed the Treaty with us are strictly under Corsair protection and must not be harmed or harassed in any way, ¿me entiendes?
Those groups currently include Omicron Supply Industries (OSI), New Covenant Church (NCC), Med Force Enterprises (MFE) as well as the former Pygar Administrator Jerard Voncloud onboard the ZCV-Kaldra. Whenever you operate in Omicron Theta, you MUST act accordingly to not violate the Treaty. If you cannot keep the trigger fingers of your pilots under control, I strongly suggest you stay away from that area for the time being.
For the Glory of the Imperio Corsario, Cmdr. Javier Hernandez

Commander,
Let me start by thanking you for giving the Black Sails a heads up about what we can and what we can't do within the Omicrons. As of now I feel cold and indifferent due to a few factors.
To begin with, the Black Sails did not took part in your all mighty treaty, and we thank you for that. Having to deal with all this protocolar bullshit is way above any of us. We are simple warriors, do excuse us. Therefore, the Black Sails have no obligations to honor any deals that the Deterrence and Brotherhood are bound to. It's your problem, keep it from spreading.
Secondly, you are no strangers of subversion acts. We didn't bothered to put it out to light, but since you're pushing it, brace for impact. Some months ago, we ran into this zoner transport displaying OSI colors, one of your protectees. Nothing special about him, except the fact that he acquired Gold from an undercover Molly installation. He wasn't greedy with the details, he was even kind enough to prove his claims, and they add up.
Now, the treachery. El capitan claimed he was dealing with you lot, the Deterrence, where he would unload the gold mined by the Mollys, and even BMM, on Geneva base in the Omegas, and there you come in to pick it up in exchange for something. Artifacts, maybe? Makes sense, but doesn't even matter. What matters is that you directly supported the Molly war economy while open hostilities between them and the Corsairs were at it's peak. There's nothing light about this, signor. This protectee of yours even mentioned about a contract between your factions. Now, that's what I call real business. I hope you didn't forgot to add Annex-80TS.
If we're going to have any future communications, the Black Sails recommend you to watch your tone. If you require evidence for the above mentioned, how would you say it, please find it attached.

[11.05.2024 20:59:52] Anguish|Sails: Well, well, now we have a BIG problem.
[11.05.2024 21:00:07] OSI-Anadrin: Another one_
[11.05.2024 21:00:15] Anguish|Sails: So, you say the RPA uses this facility?
[11.05.2024 21:00:26] OSI-Anadrin: Its theyr facility i think
[11.05.2024 21:00:34] OSI-Anadrin: Its alive so i supose so
[11.05.2024 21:00:43] OSI-Anadrin: i really have no idea
[11.05.2024 21:00:44] Anguish|Sails: So it's their undercover crib. I see

[11.05.2024 21:01:05] OSI-Anadrin: I assume its Molly
[11.05.2024 21:01:07] Anguish|Sails: Now don't take your words back, Zoner.
[11.05.2024 21:01:16] OSI-Anadrin: I did not
[11.05.2024 21:01:23] Anguish|Sails: Good.

[11.05.2024 21:01:55] OSI-Anadrin: ok
[11.05.2024 21:02:20] Anguish|Sails: Now I can trully confirm that the Zoners are engaged in Gold operations with the Mollys, and by extension the RPA.
[11.05.2024 21:02:32] OSI-Anadrin: I own Geneva Shipping Platfoirm in Omega 3
[11.05.2024 21:02:36] Anguish|Sails: Sadly, that's against our current war effort here, in Dublin.
[11.05.2024 21:02:41] OSI-Anadrin: I work directly with the Empirium
[11.05.2024 21:02:53] Anguish|Sails: Well, you also make our enemies rich.
[11.05.2024 21:03:07] OSI-Anadrin: Well my deal with DTR demands me to have Gold for them to take back
[11.05.2024 21:03:22] OSI-Anadrin: As they deliver xeno relics to my instalation
[11.05.2024 21:03:33] OSI-Anadrin: So, yes amigo
[11.05.2024 21:03:38] Anguish|Sails: So, you get Gold from Mollys to give to DTR?
[11.05.2024 21:03:43] OSI-Anadrin: I will steal it from werever to make my friends happy
[11.05.2024 21:04:04] OSI-Anadrin: Molly BMF
[11.05.2024 21:04:09] OSI-Anadrin: i honestly dont care
[11.05.2024 21:04:19] OSI-Anadrin: Il get it to my instalation
[11.05.2024 21:04:36] Anguish|Sails: Interesting. Didn't knew that the Deterrence are supporting the Mollys, even if indirectly.

[11.05.2024 21:05:01] OSI-Anadrin: Molly?
[11.05.2024 21:05:26] Anguish|Sails: You buy gold mined from Mollys, then sell it to the Deterrence.
[11.05.2024 21:05:27] OSI-Anadrin: Why you trying to divert the situation of a signed contract may i ask?
[11.05.2024 21:05:37] OSI-Anadrin: I buy from BMM too
[11.05.2024 21:05:41] Anguish|Sails: I'm just trying to understand your business chain.
[11.05.2024 21:05:48] OSI-Anadrin: Or get a corsair to mine it for me
[11.05.2024 21:06:07] Anguish|Sails: Corsairs clearly are not allowed on Rathmines.
[11.05.2024 21:06:18] Anguish|Sails: So all the ore you've bought was mined by Mollys.
[11.05.2024 21:06:32] OSI-Anadrin: Maybe this time yes
[11.05.2024 21:06:38] CONSOLE: Possible cheating detected: Vernunftig
[11.05.2024 21:06:41] OSI-Anadrin: Other times is BMM or Corsair
[11.05.2024 21:06:46] Anguish|Sails: And you will sell it to Deterrence, correct? As part of a deal.
[11.05.2024 21:07:23] OSI-Anadrin: I believe you were already told enough, from here one you can do as you please
[11.05.2024 21:07:37] Anguish|Sails: So, what do they give you in return for the gold?
[11.05.2024 21:07:42] OSI-Anadrin: It is not your place to question YOUR line of omand is it?
[11.05.2024 21:07:53] OSI-Anadrin: comand*
[11.05.2024 21:08:02] Anguish|Sails: I can question anything that I please, Zoner.
[11.05.2024 21:08:05] OSI-Anadrin: Watever we signed on our contract
[11.05.2024 21:08:17] Anguish|Sails: Now, unless you want me to put some holes in your ship, you better play nice.
[11.05.2024 21:08:29] OSI-Anadrin: Yes and anything i tell you is out of my good will
[11.05.2024 21:08:30] Anguish|Sails: As you see, so far I've been a gentleman.
[11.05.2024 21:08:33] OSI-Anadrin: I did play nice
[11.05.2024 21:08:46] Anguish|Sails: Bueno, so help me understand this, and you will be free to go.
[11.05.2024 21:08:52] OSI-Anadrin: You however seem to question your own chain of command
[11.05.2024 21:09:04] Anguish|Sails: I have my reasons.
[11.05.2024 21:09:08] OSI-Anadrin: This is something i dont whant to get myself into
[11.05.2024 21:09:24] Anguish|Sails: You won't, relax.
[11.05.2024 21:09:39] Anguish|Sails: Now, tell me what does the Deterrence gives you in return for the Gold.
[11.05.2024 21:09:57] OSI-Anadrin: You are taking my time... too much of it
[11.05.2024 21:10:09] Anguish|Sails: Would you rather have me take your life?
[11.05.2024 21:10:20] OSI-Anadrin: Im getting there amigo
[11.05.2024 21:10:39] OSI-Anadrin: I was 100% compliant with your demands
[11.05.2024 21:10:43] Anguish|Sails: This is the last question.
[11.05.2024 21:10:50] OSI-Anadrin: I waited i proved my word everything
[11.05.2024 21:10:53] Anguish|Sails: What does the Deterrence give you in return for the Gold ore?
[11.05.2024 21:10:58] Anguish|Sails: And you're free to go.
[11.05.2024 21:11:29] OSI-Anadrin: They give me what we requested from them on our ENCRYPTED contract, if you whant that information break it down with your leade
[11.05.2024 21:11:52] OSI-Anadrin: And then i got there...
[11.05.2024 21:11:55] Anguish|Sails: All right, keep your secrets then. I got more than I was hoping for.
[11.05.2024 21:12:04] Anguish|Sails: So, signor, this time you're free to go.
[11.05.2024 21:12:15] Anguish|Sails: But next time we meet, it will be nasty, I promise you.
[11.05.2024 21:12:22] Anguish|Sails: Spread the word to your faction as well.
[11.05.2024 21:12:34] Anguish|Sails: The Black Sails are coming for you.
[11.05.2024 21:12:44] Anguish|Sails: Enjoy your day.
Let me not waste too much time here. I do not know if you had too much rum or are just generally of poor judgement, but accusing the Deterrence of acquiring gold – a resource which we consistently extract and refine ourselves on Fort Torrelavega - from our enemy the Mollys is simply ridiculous. The fact that you submit this report to me now – months after the described incident – tells me that it cannot be of such importance as you make it look, if it is not plain out wrong. If it is indeed a real report, the OSI pilot clearly lost his mind faced with the imminent threat to his life. Those people are simple traders after all, not warriors.
Regarding the Treaty, I think I made myself very clear with what I said. The protection of the listed Treaty signatories is not a negotiable “deal” that can be disregarded by The Black Sails. It is a Treaty that must be honored by all Sons of Crete! As long as you do regard yourselves as such, I recommend you to follow what I said or stay away from Omicron Theta. If you feel a particular need to harass a Zoner, feel free to exercise that on any Phoenix pilot. You do have my explicit blessing to do anything you like with those people.
