RE: Stolen Nephilim
Encryption: Unbreakable
Kallisti!
I wish I was sending this under better circumstances but I received word from another source that a Zoner Nephilim Juggernaught was sighted engaging and destroying a Liberty Navy vessel, the Omaha, with the help of two Unioner ships. Now, I expect this from the Unioners but I don't expect it from the Guild nor do I expect that the Guild would fly a Zoner juggernaught when the IMG has a line of very capable warships.
In the pictures, you will find at one point the commander of the "Capitalism" says, "weapons away" and another he says, "This ship is marked hostile to the Navy. That is what I'm doing here."
I don't know if much else will come of this but I wanted to give the IMG a chance to figure this out and to possibly handle this in house. If none of this is possible, please let me know and I'll take the next steps on this.
Yours in Eris,

Dear Mr. Holliday,
the Guildmasters state that the ship named "Capitalism" is not an IMG vessel, despite its ID transponder. The IMG does not own Zoner battleships, nor does the Guild fly them, furthermore the IMG does not engage House Navies in support of known criminals and whoever that commander is, the Guild is not who he acts for.
Very likely the onboard ID has been damaged or is being abused to conceal the true nature of the goals of this criminal.
The short version is: Do with him as you want, he is not ours. If we see him, we will try to reclaim that ship for you, but experience has shown that destruction is the safest way.
Yours sincerely
Veronica Ryan
Spokesperson for the Guildmasters

I thank you for your response. I will deal with this myself. As I said before, I didn't figure it was anyone or anything of the IMG but I at least wanted to let you know about it.
