To the Deaths|
We recently got word that a member of yours, a certain Deaths|Cpt.Tyler.3Tears was flying around in one of our gunboats. Now sometimes we would be willing to turn a blind eye to this, but he was flying around in Liberty, and was causing havoc.
So, we would like to enquire as to how this gunboat was purchased, and whether it was purchased at all, for we have noticed a gunboat was stolen from Aland shipyards a few weeks ago.
I await your response, but please, make it short, sweet and to the point, I have a date to get to.

Message begins:
I assure you, that gunboat was purchased in entirely legal means, through one of our contacts in the IMG, due to a completed large scale takedown mission, and that was the price, one of the vessals. However, it will not be a problem, for we soon will return to our orgins, and you will not see us much in the coming weeks. Hope this makes it clear to you. Kurani Out.

Message begins: An under the table deal does not mean its not legal, it simply means its not open knoledge. Some deals like that COULD be illegal, but the sale of a vessal being used for appropriate purposes is a far cry from any illegal activities, would you not think?

Not local knowledge? Stop insulting me, I am the director of 3 out of 4 IMG divisions, and I personally sign off every single ship that leaves that shipyard.
If you did not aquire this ship through us, then it is an illegal purchase. As I see it, you have 2 options:
1. Return the vessel
2. Pay us 10 million credits for the priveledge of having the ship.

Message begins: You misunderstand my meaning. I did not mean to imply that you, director, are an idiot. I more was answering the one known as John Freeman, whoever he is. However, the vessal has been given orders to return to a neutral shipyard and ship it back to img space. I suggest you also look into every OTHER group using one of your vessals. Many come to mind. *transmission cut, trace lost*

Pardon my continued interruption in this public call to the Deaths, but if those are your terms I'd very much like to purchase licensing to one Hydra IMG Gunboat myself.
Where should I wire the payment?

*clears throat*
Just to clarify something really quickly, the ancient earth term "under the table" is what I was referring to when I sent that message. I believe this is an accurate definition from one of their most popular websites:
Wiktionary Wrote:Secretly or without reporting, especially of payments made or business transacted.
At the time of this incident that was very skimplily logged be the HS. Gentleman here, two HS pilots were questioning our use of what I now know to be Colonial Remnant Ships. Very soon after the incident, both my and Cpt.Murdock's ships had been purposefully Cruise disrupted to prevent us from returning to New York... When I questioned why I had been fired upon for little to no reason, I received no answer worth remembering (because I do no remember it). Both the Captain and I docked shortly afterward to work out the problem in the bar. Neither the pilots nor the CR officer they called wished to. They wanted to talk outside... The rest is irrelevant to this conversation...
Now then I'm sure none of you know me... But my history is no great secret. If you wish to read up on it, please click on the graphic that is displayed at the end of this message. I do have friends in the Ship dealers of the IMG, and as a freelancer I made use of the resources I had. I read no where that this was illegal, in fact, quite the opposite was what I found. I am realizing now that the neural net is hardly complete in its information systems. If I/we made a mistake, explain it to us in logical terms and we will work to correct that mistake.
It does seem that corporations are tightening up on the sales of their equipment and this does make it quite difficult for freelancers.
Oh and to John Freeman, I believe "the jury is still out" on whether or not we'll pardon you for the interruptions... I think we will though.
My suggestion to the honorable IMG leader is this: Update your neural net information pages (//the wiki, faction information pages, anything like that...\\) to show that you really hate it when someone buys <insert ship type here>, then tell people what to do to buy one in the way that you deem "legal" rather than heading to a friend's home and talking him into pulling some strings for you... This would aviod future confusions... I would also like to suggest that you be logical and do to all that which you have done to us. Hunt them down and question them, not threatingly but diplomatically like what this is. If you feel that it is "too much trouble" I'd be glad to assist you by donating some of my processing power to scanning and interpreting the data output to find possible IMG gunships for you to question, for a fee anyway (Don't worry it'll be a small one... I like the IMG).
I would also like to see the logs that show that I ship was stolen, perhaps I can assist in tracking that one down.
This is Sgt. Calego from the Googolhertz signing off.
