RE: A Letter to Juan Jose Luis Espinosa

My boy J.J. told me to pass this letter along......To: CMDR Krakdawg, Admiral of the Hand of Skarro
From: Juan Jose Luis Espinosa
Date: 31 Dec 2024
Krakdawg,
You’ve got fire in you, I’ll give you that. The way you tell your story, you almost had me feeling bad for you. Almost. But don’t mistake that for weakness or hesitation on my part. You came up short before, and you’ll come up short again, as long as you keep flying that little buttercup of yours with the same naïve expectation.
I remember the scent of your cargo — that sweet, thick aroma of overconfidence, dripping from your hold like cheap perfume. You thought your haul was safe, that you were close enough to home to feel secure. You were wrong. You should’ve known better, even with your pitiful little shields flickering like a candle in the wind.
It doesn’t surprise me that you’d turn your rage into fuel. But the truth of the matter is, you’re too eager for a rematch, CMDR Krakdawg. Your bitterness is the scent of someone who’s more interested in vengeance than skill, and that’s where you’re going to falter.
Still, I’ll be sure to keep an eye on your next cargo run. Maybe I’ll let you catch a glimpse of Buttercup before I turn your newfound fire into the same scattered remnants I left behind last time. As for your challenge? You won’t need to “tempt” me with a load of gold — that’s just icing on the cake. The real game here is you; it always has been.
So, consider this your invitation to face me again, but be warned: once I’ve marked a target, I don’t let it slip away. When we meet again, we’ll see if your new shiny toys give you more than just a momentary sense of satisfaction.
Till then, I’ll be waiting.
Juan Jose Luis Espinosa
