Lane.


You're working overtly and covertly to create a conflict of interest between the Rogues and the Unioners. It is solidly not succeeding, as far as we can observe. We have reduced our activities within Texas and have mutually beneficial our relationships with all local parties, not because of you, but because Liberty is, at present, a limited, staid market. We have all the resources we require to maintain flat, steady growth in the independent worlds border region.


I appreciate the initiative of attempting to shake up established monopolies within the underworld, to create a niche for yourself. Initiative and the desire to take on the status quo that has evolved during the power vacuum is healthy. Darwinian. Yet the underworld requires trust - you might want to kill the dinosaurs, rogue, but first you must recognise who the dinosaurs are. Who is dining from the same food.

A criminal with an extensive life expectancy respects the establishment. The Unioner market share is that of military salvage, which you cannot obtain, Artifacts, which we can cheaply source for you, Rheinlandic black market artillery, see argument one. Any cardamine we ship is bound for Bering and Puerto Rico only. We operate within liberty only within the Rheinland border region and a system away from our homeland.

Is this a matter of personal revenge, or is someone paying you to stir the pot and pass notes into the deck of the Xenos?

We have weapons, resources, munitions, manpower, political clout with the other rogue cells, the Lane Hackers, the Separatists, and any other name in the underworld you could stand to gain from.


Name your price. We will further your objectives, and you will not interfere with ours.

We will consider you allies irrespective of whatever moves you make in the background. If you wish to cast us as an enemy of the Liberty underworld, we will not take the first step. Fight your own battles. Fire your own guns. But do not interfere with the established cabal of the other Rogue cells, the Lane Hackers, the Junkers, the Outcasts, the hispanics, if you want to have a seat at the table.

We have sacrificed much for the integrity of this relationship. It is immune to the concerns of one Rogue without the dominant affections of the wider movement.

It might interest you that the rogue destroyer within Bering is here upon our invitation, and receives supplies, servicing, munitions, from Pacifica.

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

Who do you think you are,

Oh look who managed to poke out of Bering, a Unioner.

Listen, I don't really care about the wall of text in which you are trying to tell me to calm myself down or to bug off. I never had a single problem with you until this year when you started to harass me again and again in multiple incidents I will gladly throw at your face, so you could see who pretty much f**ked up our relationships.

I don't even know why are you talking about Drunken Codger, is that some sort of your play now? Telling me you invited our cruiser even if I hadn't even mentioned it in first place? Of course you reduced your presence in Texas, because you cannot survive for more than 10 minutes, I saw numerous battles when you got rekt by Naval forces, even if you had more numbers. And I don't care about stuff you "apparently" have access to, trust me, I can get these things without middle man like you. You are of no importance to me, Unioner. You f**ked it all up, but you are trying to throw dirt at me.

How typical, come up with something and apologize, and I might reconsider my stance towards your group. If you want some evidence, you can ask for it or ask Senora Riehl or that newbie who joined your cause few weeks ago. LWB one I guess.
