I knew you'd contact me sooner or later because of what I said. I do not regret it. For too long, I lived with this, unable to just spit in her face. You tell me she is gone? Eh, and for years? I was not aware. I prefer her far away from me. After all, I'd just jump at her throat. And you know me, it seems. It won't make me feel better to duel one of their pilots. I remember having to teach one of them how to equip their Praetorian. This is pathetic, Cesar. Do they even teach them? No, the real question is, are they even Corsairs? The pilot I was teaching, a certain Miguel Lopez—he had no idea what the trial that Corsairs used to do even was! I just can't tolerate them anymore. You do you, but I will never be around to help them. For that, they have to prove their honor to me by either challenging me, using our technology, or at least being as efficient as The Brotherhood.
Regardless, on another subject, yes, I saw that video. It appears they broke my callsign, which is very shameful. Buonocore, no matter who he is, will have a talk with me. You also need to read something I put on your desk at Heraklion, at her headquarter Fortaleza de Elysion. I saw Alberto after all those years. He told me about Buonocore. If he has known him for so long, then, like you, he is an old fella. Alberto also told me he has a daughter. I am almost curious.
We can surely meet up at the usual spot so you can avoid traveling to Heraklion.

They have plenty of fresh rookies still learning the Corsair way of life, hermana. Maybe they ran low on budget for instructors and are spending it on expensive maintenance of Legates, so they can't keep up with teaching them all, who knows? At least their capital fleets are still going strong and giving our enemies a lot of trouble.
I cannot act mighty about being any better during pre-Brotherhood days myself. During early days of flying I angered some hermanos by equipping ancient Outcast tech on my ship. I was young and stupido, and thought the weapon looked cool, ok? I could not even adjust my scanners properly, so Samura vessels appeared as targets and.... maybe I did not check what I was firing at and almost destroyed their escort ship. Everyone is born an idiota, but not everyone grows out of being one.
About Buonocore... you seem very eager to have a chat with him. Don't take his oversight of your callsign too personally. He is el hombre who does not get concerned over small details, from his point of view, at least, so he did not find it necessary to hire someone to fix your infamous title and just moved on. I am certain he already forgot about it. "Limited budget" my culo! He always has some for his elegant suits. It would not be the first time he did this mistake either. It took that cabron months to fix my name from "Flipardo" to the correct one, so I was a victim a mockery in Brotherhood, which does remind me of Alberto. His familia matter was done, so he moved back to Crete recently and said he intends to start some active tasks of his own. It's usually not boring to complete his tasks. Lots of his anger being unleashed at unsuspecting victims never gets old. Why not try it for old times sake?
I have been told that Tripoli Shipyard has built a recent Praefect. Could you make me a favor to drag it under The Brotherhood's flag? It has been a moment I was thinking about this, but I'd like to make it mine.

Saludos!
Allow me to process this one more time... You want to command a capital vessel?
Caramba! I think you will be an even bigger troublemaker, but I don't dislike that. Gringos who oppose us will be receiving the majority of it, si? Then it's worth it. This is one day I could never see coming, but I'm looking forward to it. Your "lone wolf" thing is over with that and I hope you have some good candidates in mind to operate on the ships bridge. You'll need them.
Consider it done! I will go talk with hermanos on Tripoli. The ship will be granted the Brotherhoods IFF transponder as soon as it can be done. The honors for the callsign will be yours. Si, one more thing... I will personally be present to witness the ships first launch and to convince myself this is not a dream. I'll be seeing you soon.
