Claire and Olga filled a pipe of their own with some Blueberry Kush and the three of them sat and smoked for a while. "Being a knight of the Brotherhood, I'm sure you are aware of the actions your organization has lately been pursuing in the Caribbean?" Claire asked between puffs. "As an Esternarxian arbitrator of some renown, I might be called upon to hear cases involving the alleged crimes of your compatriots. Do you understand where I'm going with this?" |

"I have heard of the Brotherhood fleet in the Caribbean, yes. The expedition was originally undertaken as a reaction to the world suddenly dogpiling on the Confederacy for its slavery. In my opinion, the Brotherhood should have been going after slavery sooner, and now it's cutting too many corners." Tadhg took another puff of his pipe. "But yes, I understand what you mean. And actually, I would be willing to help you." |

Claire was not certain the other had actually caught on yet, but she continued in spite of her doubt. "Hmm, and what sort of help did you have in mind?" |

"Personally, I think the Brotherhood is going about this all wrong. It is not the Brotherhood's job to be a police force patrolling the Caribbean for every last drug trader. Slave ships are one thing, but it comes to drugs, couldn't we have just covertly taken out the violent organizations? That was after all the real point. Anyways, I'd be willing to be a contact within the Brotherhood and get some communication going. As Champion, I have the Grandmaster's ear, and he does not take my advice lightly. If we went about things right, we might calm the situation in the Caribbean." |

"I hope this... conflict... can be resolved diplomatically. But I want to be clear, that robbing and coercively detaining sovereign individuals of the alliance are crimes that demand restoration of the victim. If these allegations prove true, then I will recommend full restitution if I am selected to arbitrate. I hope you can reason with your Grandmaster, and help him to understand that attacking peaceful trade and combating slavery are two very different things, and that they must be disentangled from one another if the latter is to have any real success. To take another's justly acquired property or to detain another against his will is to engage in slavery, and will not be tolerated, regardless of the 'real point.'" |

"So, what exactly do you believe must be done to correct this situation?" |

"I would recommend that the Brotherhood immediately stop wasting time and resources on enforcing the prohibition of substances. Prohibition reduces supply and makes dealing in drugs more profitable for violent cartels. If the time and resources the Brotherhood wastes going after drugs was instead focused on addressing real crimes, like slavery, you might be able to make some headway towards the noble goal of abolition, and doing so would garner the support of numerous abolitionist organizations within Esternarx. Not to mention, every ship you board and seize has a chance of being a sovereign nano-nation that may hold you liable for damages in international court, indeed many already have. If the Brotherhood ceases to enforce prohibition, I will personally restitute these victims of the Brotherhood's crimes, which would likely come to over three thousand kilograms of silver out of my own pocket. I would do this, because for some reason, against my better judgment, I believe that your Grandmaster was not ill-intentioned. In the interests of international peace, I hope you prove me right." |

"You have my word that I shall see what can be done and make the best efforts to bring things to a more peaceful condition. In the meantime, I do have work that must be finished here, but know that as soon as I am done here, I shall speak with the Grandmaster personally about these things." |
