I have received a reply from the GMG about the bomber that attacked us. They assure me that is was not one of their people. They are saying it was a mercenary. My only problem is that the bomber pilot did nothing to indicate being a mercenary. He only asked what we knew about 'business' in the Sigmas and in Kusari. He then attacked without warning, and later said that we were a 'menace to business'.
The GMG claim this did not come from them and the 'business' in question is not our business with them. I am therefore ordering that our supply shipments continue to the GMG. I am also dispatching agents to the Sigmas to see if we can learn exactly what this 'business' is that is worth attacking us. Even though I am continuing the supply runs this does not mean there is no danger. Someone obviously has a problem with our presence there. Keep your heads down until we know who.

It's always fascinating to learn how pilots get their call signs. In Zweihander's case I'm starting to believe it's because he's a two fisted day drinker. That's about what it takes to blow yourself up.
He is apparently still trying to sell out whoever placed the bounty on us by asking more money of his targets as well. You can see that that is working out for him. Good work on this one Junkers.

Just another salvager here. Saw some ALG Behemoth, Volgograd, workin' the Trafalgar field.
Now, last I checked, we didn't much like outsiders working in our fields. But my CSV isn't exactly equipped for asking questions. So there's not a whole lot I can do. You? You can probably do more.
O' course, there's always the possibility that you allowed this... kinda hoping that's the case, to be entirely honest with ya.

Hiya folks!
Congressman Jim McKenna here. I dunno if I neglected to tell you guys but Ive been running a Tiny hospital ship the TAZ put together. Shes got TAZ colors transponder and such so having her in house space is sorta a trick but after doing some research work for the outcasts in Omicron 81 Im thinking of parking this thing back in her hutch in Baffin for resupply and refitting.
Actually kinda nice helping folks in a joint effort like this. As you can tell from the video feed I scored some free plastic surgery haw haw!
Taking a break from the psychological and medical practice is good too. Man was I rusty... almost a better captain then a doctor these days. Ill Carbon Copy you guys on my Ships logs if you interested. I know how boring and lonely it can get.
OH! YES! I forgot. My damned nephew busted the keel on the Exspress! I figured to cannabalise it down for parts. Anyone got a line on a half built or fixable Sally? Or hell Even a Pilgrim? Yeah you heard me Mr high and mighty might be in the Market for a pilgrim. Need something I can fit a neutronium shell onto so I can get real close to stars without melting.

Congressmen,
I need some volunteers for a rather delicate convoy duty. All who are interested should send either a salvager or a pilgrim to Beaumont or Vieques. Contact me directly when your ships are in place and more details will be coming.

Greetings Congress,
I come to you tonight with some questions and a minor issue to discuss with you. To start, who has authority or the right to give 'orders' bedsides the Congress to pilots coming and going from Rochester, specifically in concerns to pilots avoiding certain over zealous Mercs or Cops trying to shoot a pilot down for little or no reason.
Second, again concerning Rochester, hostile acts by Transport pilots. Is it tolerated by the Congress that Transport pilots to be the agressors, namely by ramming pilots who live there? And related to the first question, who has the right besides the Congress deem what is aggressive and hostile acts in or near Rochester.
Relating to these questions, there seems to be a Slaver that believes he has the right to speak for the Junkers concerning authority around Rochester as well as a transport pilot that has proven to be hostile towards many of those who use or live at your station, namely being aggressive towards Lane Hacker Pilots and members of the Hellfire Legion.
Your answers will prove helpful for future reference, thank you for your time.

Well my answers may prove helpful, but your questions certainly do not. First off, Hacking our message dump will not earn you any friends here. I suggest you take this to a different channel. Second, I suggest you be a bit more specific. Stop asking me hypothetical riddles. If you are referring to a specific incident as it seems you are dying to do'¦'¦.then do it. Tell me what these incidents are that have prompted you to ask such questions. There is no one other than the Congress who can grant permissions for Rochester. If someone has given permissions contrary to my orders they are wrong. If you know of someone doing this then tell me who and show the proof. I think that's enough. Tell me what you really need to know and do it in the proper channel.

This is Mike Sevren, to the general assembly of the congress. I don't know if any of you remember me from years back, but it doesn't matter. There's a chance I might be working with a few of you from time to time, so I just thought I'd introduce myself. This might be one of those times for one of you lot who are an enterprising sort, and wants to make a large amount of scratch in a very short amount of time, for very minimal effort.
I've got a real simple job for anyone of you who's currently in Liberty space, and is willing to make a run to pick something up for me at Norfolk shipyard, in New York, and run it across the system, back to Rochester. To me. It's nothing illegal that'll get any of you pinched by the law, but there's always the slim chance that someone outside the law will want to take it from you if they see you, so there's a little risk involved.
I'm offering to pay anyone willing to act as a courier to run this package a sum of five million Sirius standard credits. You know how to reach me.
