FROM:Karl Jungmann TO:Krüger Mineralien Leadrship SUBJECT:Remnants of the past
Well, I suppose I should have seen it coming - my former employer, [ALG], have not been seen supporting us haulers for months on end, this is partially why I requested the transfer - it is lonely in space when you have to fly solo and search for your own contracts to fulfill.
In my short time in my new corporation since the transfer I have not seen any sort of anymosity towards ALG or myself. In fact the current ALG is repairing Dortmund hand in hand with Daumann and Krüger, under the mandate of the Rheinland government and Krüger-ALG relations are back to what they always have been.
It might have been a long lost man in the Sigmas, fighting a phantom war that doesn't exist anymore. it might have been attempted revenge against my simply rational career decision to transfer to a different corporation, whatever the reason was the [ALG]-V-Mondschatten decided to test my Behemoth's resolve.
I had no choice but to reluctantly defend myself against a person for who's sub-faction of a company I have worked for for years, who's profits and agenda I have furthered greatly, where I made friends. Against a lost member of ALG Waste disposal, whom we once again call colleagues and friends - the smooth employee sharing of yours truly being the shining example.
The descent into madness of the man was reflected in his fighting style - reckless, as if he lost touch with his humanity, his ship gnarled and clawed in a fierce battle against my steady hand. Ultimately he was forced to crawl away, defeated, for I have achieved a pyrrhic victory, in a nonsensical battle with a man not willing to come to terms with the changing times and unified Vaterland.
Situation becomes clearer
It all did make a little more sense when the Gas Miners Guild have appeared. They have seemed to control the man, know him intimately - perhaps he is a sad victim of their conditioning, forcing his mind to live in the times long gone to do their bidding. The masters have come to aid of their sorrowful pawn, and that was the last glimmer of memory I can cling to from that day for I have then woken up in a nearby infirmary severals days later.

[25.10.2021 00:21:51] [ALG]-V-Mondschatten: Not particularly.
[25.10.2021 00:22:10] Kruger|KTS-Raubtier: Karl: Why the long face freund!
[25.10.2021 00:22:16] [ALG]-V-Mondschatten: You're not my friend.
[25.10.2021 00:22:23] Kruger|KTS-Raubtier: What do you mean!
[25.10.2021 00:22:24] [ALG]-V-Mondschatten: You're not supposed to be here.
[25.10.2021 00:22:37] Kruger|KTS-Raubtier: Alg and Kruger, the great partners!
[25.10.2021 00:22:49] [ALG]-V-Mondschatten: That was ten years ago at least.
[25.10.2021 00:22:54] Kruger|KTS-Raubtier: Heck I worked in your corporation for years
[25.10.2021 00:22:59] Kruger|KTS-Raubtier: Now Rheinland is one
[25.10.2021 00:23:03] Kruger|KTS-Raubtier: And so are we again!
[25.10.2021 00:23:31] [ALG]-V-Mondschatten: The partnership fell apart long before the civil war, "friend".
[25.10.2021 00:23:50] Kruger|KTS-Raubtier: Not that I am aware of,
[25.10.2021 00:24:09] Kruger|KTS-Raubtier: I moved from your organization to Kruger, nobody said a word of anymosity!
[25.10.2021 00:24:16] [ALG]-V-Mondschatten: Anyway. You're not supposed to be here. Go back to Rheinland. Or to Kusari, I suppose.
[25.10.2021 00:24:39] Kruger|KTS-Raubtier: What do you mean not supposed to be here?
[25.10.2021 00:24:49] [ALG]-V-Mondschatten: Well, let me make it more clear then.

THE TROUBLED SOUL BEGINS HIS ATTACK

[25.10.2021 00:28:24] GMG|Keiji.Namura: Good day, pilots.
[25.10.2021 00:28:56] GMG|Keiji.Namura: Kruger vessel, your organisation is banned from the Sigma Systems.
[25.10.2021 00:43:10] GMG|Matsumo.Yabuki: Konnichiwa, Guildmaster.
[25.10.2021 00:43:25] GMG|Keiji.Namura: Good day, Guildmember.
[25.10.2021 00:44:10] GMG|Keiji.Namura: This Kruger vessel must be removed from Guild space.
[25.10.2021 00:44:46] GMG|Matsumo.Yabuki: I await your orders Guildmaster.
[25.10.2021 00:47:04] GMG|Keiji.Namura: Our ALG ally is having trouble with the Behemoth's shield.
[25.10.2021 00:47:12] GMG|Keiji.Namura: Guildmember Yabuki, it might be prudent for you to disable it.
[25.10.2021 00:47:13] GMG|Matsumo.Yabuki: I see, I will assist them.
[25.10.2021 00:47:35] Kruger|KTS-Raubtier: victory
[25.10.2021 00:48:07] Death: Kruger|KTS-Raubtier was put out of action by GMG|Matsumo.Yabuki (Gun).
I have used my skills from my previous employment to join an ALG operation of cleaning up Dortmund. The ALG have negotiated processing in Gallia at Bourg-en-Bresse Space Port and so we went.
We have ran into Red Hessians, Brigands and event a pirate Gallic Royalist - they inexplicably kept choosing my Dunlin vessel as a target but our convoy was too powerful to overcome.
Toxic Waste was safely delivered and we have returned to New Berlin, our cooperation with ALG making a great stride forward.
FROM: Lukas Östermann, KTS Frosh TO: Krüger Mineralien SUBJECT: Expedition into the Sigmas
Guten tag Kameraden.
The KTS Frosh and KTS Raubtier started an impromptu expedition in the Sigmas, looking for ore, preferably Uranium.
I departed from Neu Berlin, and promptly joined KTS Raubtier in Sigma-15. We started the initial mining operation and managed to get a sizeable amount of Uranium Ore in Sigma-21.
We then departed for Sigma-59 for Helium-3. Same as before, we managed to get a sizeable amount of Helium-3 safely, despite a few GMG strikegroups launched from the nearby stations. The KTS Frosh was slightly damaged in the process.
Nobody stood in our way - even one red on scanner had christmas spirit and let us pass!
I have a feeling next year will be amazing.
Issues
After saving Christmas demand for Ore me and Lukas Östermann went to grab us some Uranium and H-3 from the Gassers.
And it appears our mining turrets are not optimised for them on the Behemoth - perhaps our engineers can look into that! I am used to use Behemoth from ALG, but it never had issues acquiring ores.
FROM:Karl Jungmann of Kruger|Lambda-67
SUBJECT:The GMG is ready to pay for their sins?
Guten tag,
I can't believe it! The Gas Miners Guild have finally turned around and decided to share their wealth.
It's a small step for the trillions in reparations they owe us, but an important one at that!
What a historic moment.

[21.01.2022 15:14:25] Kruger|Lambda-67: Guten Tag!

[21.01.2022 15:15:24] Kruger|Lambda-67: for all the hardshops
[21.01.2022 15:15:24] Kruger|Lambda-67 has set Fast.Gas as group target.
[21.01.2022 15:15:24] OK
[21.01.2022 15:15:24] You must wait before you can mark another target.
[21.01.2022 15:15:24] You must wait before you can mark another target.

[21.01.2022 15:15:50] DTR-Nox.: Keep going.
[21.01.2022 15:15:54] DTR-Rafael.Perez: what a situation right here
[21.01.2022 15:15:56] Fast.Gas: Well fine. I don't have the time to deal with you anyway.
[21.01.2022 15:15:57] +Cryer+Alpha-21: Very interesting
[21.01.2022 15:16:10] Kruger|Lambda-67: That will be 2,000,000
[21.01.2022 15:16:18] Kruger|Lambda-67: and you can be on your way to do as you please
[21.01.2022 15:16:29] Kruger|Lambda-67: a fair small reparation you understand
[21.01.2022 15:16:39] Fast.Gas: Yeah yeah, just wait.
[21.01.2022 15:16:50] [2022-01-21] 15:16:55 You have received 2.000.000 credits from Fast.Gas
[21.01.2022 15:16:59] Kruger|Lambda-67: Well
[21.01.2022 15:17:03] Kruger|Lambda-67: Pleasure doing business with you
[21.01.2022 15:17:05] Fast.Gas: Well now I think we can go back to our previous talks.
[21.01.2022 15:17:10] Kruger|Lambda-67: Kruger welcomes a reasonable gasser
[21.01.2022 15:17:23] Fast.Gas: Money isn't an issue for us anyways.
[21.01.2022 15:17:37] Kruger|Lambda-67: Oh you weren't kidding
[21.01.2022 15:17:43] Kruger|Lambda-67: Cannnibals as far as the eye can see
[21.01.2022 15:18:07] Kruger|Lambda-67: Well I got what I came here for - don't try to threaten me Corsairs
[21.01.2022 15:18:21] Fast.Gas: And I question the reason of their presence here.
[21.01.2022 15:18:25] Kruger|Lambda-67: Good luck reasonable Gas Man *tips hat*
Oh also also a bunch of angry Corsairs are in Sigma-17 for some reason, I'd recommend our shipping division to avoid the system for a while.
