Good day. I hope your mining operations are running smoothly, Sir.
I am writing briefly to cover two topics with you that we would like to discuss.
Before I begin I must thank you for your help time and time again in the past concerning some help in delivering some supplies to our station, but never-the-less I shall continue.
The Club has been hard at work on constructing a new large civilian carrier that we plan to use partially as a mobile docking point. My first request is if you will allow us to use some of your gun tech to mount on this new ship? We have less experience in this field and finding a legitimate source is quite difficult as it is. Perhaps the IMG| could give us a hand? In turn, I suppose other than payment we could repay you in some way.
The second topic is a little more grim than the first. We are aware of the JM| being a pest to your organization and well... we have stumbled upon the same path as you.
I would like to see what you think of this and your opinion of what should be done about it.
I'll keep it short, as the case is rather clear-cut from my point of view.
I have checked in with IMG data files and I have found that the AFC have been working with the Guild as escorts for quite a while. Also Ms. Morrow weighed in pretty heavily on the issue and seems convinced that a positive outcome should be reached.
Cruiser cannons are produced in Jakarta (T39) and I have checked: There are more than enough available currently. I have advised the Dockmaster and the Weapons Chief about your arrival sometime soon.
Seeing that you have problems with JM does not surprise me. These Junkers are a slap in the face of everybody calling himself a Junker. I think I have seen that you have already signed up on the IMG board. These bastards are bountied by the IMG and if you feel like it: they are trying to stay on the good side of the law in the eyes of the Houses. If you have incriminating evidence of piracy in the Borderworlds of Houses, in which House Laws are valid, interesting things can be done. We will also give you a call when we go for some Junker-frying runs in the Taus, so you can get back at them.
Another little report on an incident that happened not too long ago.
Patrolling the Taus in 23, I came around Java and past that I spotted an outcast on radar.
I started to claim the target but to my surprise there were also "D9|" identified vessels that appeared to not enjoy having me shoot the Outcast around.
I was shortly after forced into a retreat and docked on the base.
I would like to ask what you think of this as well and I'll let your judgement ride on it. It's a heads up though as you can see who's side the "D9" are on.

I have a potential business contract that you might be interested in.
In the near future we will be needing a whole load of fresh building supply for Blackport 66 to construct another extension. In doing so I wish to ask for help in delivering supply.
I understand as well that this might not be the best business off the top of the hat for a mining guild but well money does have a way of talking...
I can offer you either credits up front as payment for the job(s) I will be asking and/or also provide some shipment of goods that you would be able to profit from?
Does premium scrap fancy your organization still?
If you have any other suggestions and if you are willing to accept this offer please let us know.
I have been checking the links between IMG convoys in the Liberty-Kusari area and stops - planned or unplanned - on Blackport 66 and I came across a surprisingly high number of contacts between the base and our transports, as well as between your vessels and our convoys.
So I assume that in reality the business relations between the AFC and the IMG are a lot tighter than the official documents suggest, which is - given the nature of your base - a good thing that we should keep exactly that way.
Ms. Julia Morrow already volunteered to take over the operational steps, I authorize a mission to assist the building works on Blackport 66. Just make sure that there is plausible deniability in case things backfire with Liberty officials or Hackers - but I am sure you know that part already. We do not intend to get drawn into some mess in Kepler.

On behalf of the IMG, I would like to thank you for the service that the AFC has been provided during the construction and supply mission. I hope that your construction crews put these goods to some good use. I can only relay to you that the shippers that were in these missions were highly pleased with your professional handling of the operation.
Let me know what you need, and I'll see what we can do.

[// PLaceholder to add some links that were lost about JM hunt that had all been erased due to server 2 month wipe. If non comes up there will be here a summary.]
It is good again to speak to you and hopefully things are going well with the IMG.
As far as I know and as you get reports, the AFC are continuing their job in escorting and executing contracts on behalf of IMG.
I had as well some individuals such as xenos try to target me down becasue of our little relationship.
I was wondering however if we can get it more official?
I have my eyes on the IMG class fighters (LF & VHF) and bomber. They have quite the nice design especially for the deep taus and omegas. I am wondering if you, Sir, would allow us to be able to have some in our own hangers to fly. It would be greatly appropriated and would be a much more evident seal in a long lasting relationship between us that would resonate to your rivals and enemies.
The only problem though is that the AFC equipment and engines that we use are not compatible with the power core of these vessels and they as a consequence operate slower as they try to keep up in producing power. I would like to ask if it would be possible to co-ordinate and try to enhance the power core to meet a much higher output of power. I request the aid of your mechanics to work with us on this project.
It is no problem at all to supply the AFC with some of our small spacecraft. They are available on the market, so accessibility is not a problem, but the energy core issue is something that we would have to address in the Tau 44 wharfs. It should however not be a problem.
The AFC has proven their worth in escorting and in tracking and hunting down enemies often, so we will make sure to find a solution to the incompatibility problem.
The good thing is that - for the moment - IMG vessels operate on high cores already. Therefore they should even be flyable at the moment until the technical fixes are done. As I've said: We are looking into it and there is no reason to not aim for better campatibility between our systems.
