[ There's a blinking line on the screen for the longest time. It's as if someone's trying to remain anonymous in what he's about to post, but as Ramirez really knows nothing about computers (let alone the SFC) in general, it would be pretty easy for tech-savvy characters to see who posted it. ]

[ It sounds relatively benign, but Ramirez has a specific reason for asking it. ]

[ Maybe he should rephrase the question. ]

And what are they like? What do they fight for? Are they noble, or greedy?

[ 'Noble' being a term he uses in the loosest sense possible. He's aware of pirate fiction which romanticizes how pirates are, but they're most definitely fiction, to him. ]
