I understand there is a lot of panic among the ranks of Junkers lately. Ever since a bounty hunter by the name of Hickok did a fly by of Kreuzberg in a gunboat broadcasting that killing Junkers was going to line his pocket by way of some new bounty, everyone is up in arms. There has even been some crazy call for Junkers to go to war.
Let me explain our position. It's hard enough to scrape out a living in the scrap fields with the normal prejudices against Junkers. Let's not add to that by stirring up trouble. It appears the BHG and their mysterious clients have already done that. The Junker Congress will not be attacking any BHG vessels and I am strongly urging all Junkers to join us in this. I know some of you are very angry for the loss of your vessels and even family members. You have my condolences. I'm calling on Junkers to come together. By working together we can make ourselves safe and expose the truth about what is really going on here.
To clear up any misunderstandings regarding my own broadcasts - I admit that they look quite militant and for that I apologize. That being said, I would urge all Junkers to stick closer together and look out ever more vigilantly for each other. Thus far the Libertonian government has acknowledged the illegality of indiscriminate attacks on Junkers by the BHG - and Liberty continues to be a safe haven for the blameless - but the governments of Rheinland and Bretonia have yet to issue any statement.
Aye....The same for myself...I know that it would be close to suicide for us...a group of ships with almost no combat abilities....to go to war...Let us just get on with the lives we have made in the debris fields...and let us live in peace..

Wh- what!? War? Wh- who said anyth- thing like... l- like that? W- we can't go to w- war! I m- mean... that'd m- mean... fighting. And k- killing!
I m- mean...
... W- well... m- me and my emp- ployees w- won't be sh- shooting anyo- one. Th- that doesn't h- help anything.
Ok- kay? I h- hope no one e- else does, eith- ther... I mean, I've h- had people atta- ack me just for being a Junk- ker before. It's b- bad enough as it is without shoot- ting back.
And... it's a- actually kinda fun i- if they c- can't hit you, anyw- ways.
I h- hope everyo- one takes the Congress's adv- vice.

To all Junkers, now i know you are, well not fit for a war with anyone but rest assured there will be no war, Guildmaster Graves said so him self so relax.
Let's not be forgetting, Crow and everyone else, you have the of the deadliest destroyer designs ever introduced into this world within your ranks. And again, Crow, regardless of what we think of each other, at the end of the day we are both Junkers - both allied against whatever threatens us. Do not expect me to withhold fire from Hunter ships. Very few of them have the sense to permit a target such as myself to walk away and I will not allow myself to be put on the back foot by having first blood drawn from me. On the occasion a Hunter is able to leave me be, I will return his reason-ability in kind. The rest I will end.
