Greetings, esteemed leaders of the Corsair Nation,
You may be wondering who this is. My name is Jonathan Hamilton Cook, and I stand here today as a representative of the organization known as The Outer Project, a group of traders and entrepeneurs specializing in the delivery of goods to regions of Sirius normally ignored by more mainstream shipping companies.
I'll spell it out for you gentlemen. Word of the increasing hostilities between your nation and the Zoners has hit MANY ears beyond the Omicrons (a couple of our own smugglers apparently confused some of your more trigger-happy Capital Ship Captains, who somehow thought they were Zoners. I'll ignore that for the sake of profit...). Considering your... geographically isolated position, we at the Project would be more than willing to open up a trade route into the heartland of Sirius, for any kind of materials required for your war efforts, at a 10% reduced cost in comparison to any other shipping company out there (plus free cookies).
I can understand this may seem like a suspiciously convenient option, given your current position, but rest assured that we have nothing more in mind than to develop at least cordial relations. I'll await further communications.
Until then,
Jonathan Cook

Your offer sounds tempting, gringo. Unfortunately I don't do business with people I don't know so here is what you will do: you will head down to Freeport 1 and ask the station's administrator to open you a secure comm-link to me. Once you do that you'll receive further instructions.

Perhaps I did not make myself clear... I'll assume I didn't, for the sake of civility.
THIS, my friend, is who you are dealing with, if memory lacks.
My dear Uncle Pete's been feeling a bit under the weather as of late, and thought about reuniting with those who brought us here so much joy (and money) in the past. And having to leave him in his sickbed would be a terribly poor idea. And given the state of affairs in that region of space, I'd like to avoid unecessary damage until it is necessary.
And this message was also meant for the Benitez and the Brotherhood.
I hope this message finds you well,
Jonathan Cook

Smelly Pete? Why didn't you say so, kid? I'm sorry to hear the old bastard isn't doing well but I am sure the crazy son of a gun still has much to do all around Sirius and his time has not come yet.
Anyway, even if he is your uncle I still don't know you and I saw apples falling very far from the tree, if you know what I mean. Head down to Freeport 1 and do what I told you. I will come meet you there and see for myself if you are worth our trust. Once I am convinced of your intentions we will talk business; make sure you bring a list of your ships so I know how much you can actually haul for us.

Howdy y'all!!
While secretly going through his personal stuff I noticed my li'l cousin Joe has left this comm channel open!
Vito ameegoe is that you!?
Long time since we drank ameego!
Don't listen to all that craptalk of Joe ,
your good uncle is alive and kickin'!
We heard about the situation with them soggy crybaby Zoner boys!
They took our jobs so naturally , we'd like them back.
Tell me my boy , what do you and your friends need?
We will bring it all your way and take some artifacts back to other corners of Sirius!
I smell money!
Glad you guys are getting rid of the competition!
Since i don't want my boys to get affiliated with ANY Zoners ,
we won't be going to Freeport 1 though.
The drinks are expensive there and their woman are ugly!
Nice yo see you up and kicking, old man. Send the kid my way and I will take good care of him if he is at least half the man you are. Don't worry about his safety, I will wait for him on Freeport 1 and he will be treated well, like all my guests. If he turns out all right I'll take him to Cadiz myself and we'll get down to business.

The boy is jumping in his ship as we speak!
You gonna love him!
Oh and do give him too much to drink!
i might add a little to Senor Vitos' messages - we are thankful that you are interested in supporting the Corsair empire, and no matter the outcome- i am sure we will find a way if you are interested in te artifact trade. Unfortunatly i am nothing but a hmble Soldato, so i have no say in these buisness matters, but Senores Pete and Cook, rest assured your word will reach the ears of the Benitez elders!
