To [ALG]; From: Core| - Printable Version

You've been very, very naughty.
ALG ships trespass Omicron Rho to supply our direct enemies.
I don't like that, as you might've guessed by the smoking wreck of a vessel named Ybbs.
He was given the chance to comply and he decided to remain silent. We were given no choice but to...implode the ship.
You can say... "Greed got him killed". That line is trademarked by Victor, by the way.
Yeah, you endanger the lives of your own people by sending them out Kappa and Delta.
Cease all operations in the sector and we'll forget about you. We shall pretend you did not insult us.
In the meanwhile, it's business as usual. If we grab any of your ships hauling contraband to the zoners, it burns.
If I were you, I would call everything off. You don't want to be responsible for all the lost lives and you have the power to save them.
Please, make the right call.

My name is Helmut Weinstein, Director of ALG Division V.

I'm afraid you are gravely misjudging your position, and ours.
Our trade contracts in the eastern Omicrons far predate your vainglorious imperial ambitions in the region, and this is at least the third so-called crisis in the area that we have had to make arrangements for. And while we had taken a more hands-off approach prior to the last time this happened, your indiscriminate hostility has conveniently obviated the need to do so.

All the assets and arrangements we need to operate have already been in place since the last time this happened. We have been prepared for a repeat of this situation for months.

It seems you lack experience in dealing with an enemy that has coherent organization, vast resources, and far-ranging connections, as most of your opponents lack at least one of these qualities. We are no ragtag band of Zoners and Edge Worlds drifters, the sort you desire to dominate by threat of violence. Without meaning to imply we underestimate you, to us, you are just an overambitious terrorist organization at the edge of space. Your blockade attempts have failed to prevent vast shipments being brought to the region by ALG ships.

Our position on the matter was already sealed by our public declaration of hostility in the previous round of this drama, and it will not be changing.
