Heh, good man.
Okay, I'll lay it out for you.
They've got a lot of ships in Tetha airspace. A LOT of ships. We're currently outnumbered about 48 to 1. That's the bad news.
There's a lot of good news, though.
First of all, most of the ships are stolen. Their crews don't know them in and out. They've been slow to react. That's cost them heavily in our incursions.
Next, they're overconfident. They think that because they're the only aerial navy in this world, because they're birds, they think they're untouchable. They're nothing to an experienced crew, and they don't know the tactics to fight in the air. The Claudia's barely been touched so far.
And adding to that, they ARE inexperienced. If they can coordinate, they'll be dangerous, but we've been able to pick off lone ships and be gone before their backup could arrive. We haven't even had to give more than two volleys of the guns in a single engagement yet.

...okay, this is VERY good news.
...
Tell you what.
How about a business deal?
You scratch our back, and I'll pull what strings I can to make sure a great deal MORE of that "plunder" mysteriously vanishes when all's said and done.

HA! You sure know how to talk to a sky pirate.
We'll help you out all you want. The more ships we can get against them, the harder it'll be for them to prioritize. Even one ship will take half of their attention off of us.
Oh, we've been busy in our own ways, preparing certain ... things.
Though, hey, if you wanna soften them up, by ALL means go right ahead.
Simon the Digger, by the way, leader of the Dai Gurren Brigade.
Though, seriously... if that's the case?
We need to talk.

Good to meet you, Simon. You're the captain of that vessel? We will need to talk.
I'm all ears, if you're ready.

Hazing? Psh. If I wanted polite, I'd go talk to Takamachi.
What am I looking at, here, then?

And the plunder is VERY nice.
