The Independent Miners Guild has a need to acquire a small amount of Iridium as a needed ingredient in our mining ship building program. The only known source of Iridium is not far from Freeport 11 in Omicron Delta. We understand the BHG-Core has sensitive operations in Delta, and wishes to maintain a low profile.
The IMG is asking permission to mine Iridium on a very limited and small scale basis. We intend to send one small mining ship to station out of Freeport 11. The Iridium will be mined in small quantities. Ocassionally the Iridium wil be transported out of the system, but the IMG will send only a small transport. No convoys. This will be a limited and small operation.
We understand there has been problems in this system with Nomads and Corsairs. TheIMG is hostile to both and has no intention of tangling with either or interupting BHG-Core operations.
The ship will be the IMG|Sisyphus, piloted by myself, David O'List and manned by a small crew including a mineorologist.
If the BHG-Core requires any other information or has any stipulations, please let us know.
While the BHG|Core has and does lay claim to ownership of the entire Iridium field, as a matter of policy we do not necessarily kill everyone that mines in this field.
Only nearly everyone.
Having said that - here's a real easy way to find out if we're going to kill you.
If you're mining in the cloud, and you happen to find that Dabadoru Station shows up on your sensors - then you might be in danger of sucking vacuum.
If you're mining in the cloud and while doing so you happen to make some poor Nomad morph pilot go pop, you tractor in those remains, and a BHG|Core ship comes along and tells you to give him those remains and you refuse - then you might be in danger of sucking vacuum.
If a BHG|Core pilot tells you ANYTHING whatsoever and you give him a load of grief and refuse to comply with his orders - then you might be in danger of sucking vacuum.
If you happen to cooperate with the known terrorist organization, the Order - then you might be in danger of sucking vacuum.
So putting it politely - stay the hell away from our base and operations, and listen up if we tell you to do something out there. Remember, we're the ones who live out here, fight out here, and will kill you if you irritate us. Fortunately, you've caught me in a good mood - and if you think this is bad, catch me in a bad mood sometime - so permission - given the stipulations mentioned - is granted.

**OORP - stay 20K away from the base and obey all BHG|Core orders, and make sure you give up the Nomad remains when we ask for them**

While in the field, our mining ship will maintain maximum distance from your base. If we are being pursued by Nomads, in our panic, we may stray inadvertently inside the 20k buffer. In that situation, we are hoping your elite forces will be more interested in blasting the Nomads instead of our mining ship.
As far as having Nomad pieces and parts in our hold, that too will be rare to never as I doubt our mining guns will scratch one of their bio-hulls. But rest assured we will cooperate with any request.
