Pirate"Your Lordship/Ladyship! I cannot tell you how grateful I am. Please accept my sincere appreciation and a shuttle with gifts. In addition to the spoils taken from the defeated enemy, the presents include a very special item. The old bastard Saarhol was very proud to possess it. I will send word of your kindness to all corners of the Expanse, and let the Fellowship of the Void know that you are a friend to the free people."
YOU"Where will you go now?"
Pirate"To a place where there are no ranks, no authority, no tyrants, no arranged marriages. I hope our paths will cross again one day, but for now, I bid you farewell!"

YOU"Attack my demesne and I will end you."
Pirate"I have seen you in action and I can assure you that black day will never come. I wish to be your ally, not your enemy, and I hope the feeling is mutual. Farewell, Your Lordship/Ladyship!"

Entry point 2 of 2
Pirate"Thank you for your cooperation, Rogue Trader. The boarding party has captured van der Roycen. Perhaps the poor girl has simply fallen under a bad influence, and so I will personally see to her... re-education. The reward for her capture is yours as promised. In addition, I am enclosing a particularly valuable trophy as a token of my sincerest gratitude."
YOU"I wish to keep that captive. I would rather not leave her in your hands."
Pirate"What? No, she is mine!" There is silence for a while, then the vox-caster lets out a heavy sigh. "You want her? Then go get her. I just threw her out of the airlock. I have already lost too much by chasing her, and I will not fight a Rogue Trader. Good day to you."

YOU"Keep a stern eye on your prisoner."
Pirate"I have no illusions. She is a piece of work, but I promised her parents that I would take care of her. I dare not detain Your Lordship/Ladyship any longer."
