Nothing obvious, just exactly enough like an overzealous military idiot to throw us off our guard.<br/><br/>The pirates knew they were in trouble.  When Baromir blew up that huge fleet with that lucky shot, way in the beginning, it set this all in motion.  They knew they were in trouble... Sarah's capturing that Pirate frigate and getting those maps... it was part of this too.<br/><br/>They knew that Cortez was getting the Everest, that he already had a pair of the fastest ships in the region and he was about to aquire one of the two most powerful, so they needed to get us to fall into their trap.<br/><br/>And we almost did...  But we were being too sneaky... coming in with the whole fleet spread out and on silent running, Antony knew we might catch the pirates off guard... he tried to get us to reveal our positions, and now, he's doing it again.  He knows how greedy we are... or he thinks be does.  He's trying to trick us into jumping into a trap!  We've gotten too close now, we have finally figured out he truth.<br/><br/>So how would Freddy handle this?  How can we trap the trappers?  How can we catch the bad guys?<br/><br/><br/>Antony gave himself away when he said that the "Haunting" was dealt with.  He couldn't possibly know that the illusionary cruiser wasn't a threat... it had already damaged his ship once and nearly hit it a second time... the threat was obviously still real.  The only reason he would know otherwise is if he was in on the truth.<br/><br/>Or else he is incredibly dumb... and all the other 'mistakes' he's made were all coincidences as well.  But I doubt it.  He's one of the bad guys.  We just have to figure out how to prove it.
