Congressmen,
The Clan Gordon thanks you for your quick repsonse, and promises of aid.
I've been given assurances that you will be indemnified for any and all losses and hardship you encounter during this undertaking.
We have sent scouts into the area that we believe the Wake's last comms to have originated. Hourly reports are without note as of yet.
Our Chrysantemum sisters have as yet run dry, however our Blood Dragon cousins have been more fortunate, and attained this guncam fragment from a still-smoking Hogosha tagged wreck in <strike>EDITED</strike> space.
The ruined vessel is being towed to Yanagi under guard for further data mining, but this does not bode well, and only further increases our worry.
I myself have set out with a Salvager crewed by Invergordon security staff for Kusar space, and am sending off a final comm before assuming Ghost Protocols.
Again we beg for any information you and your lads can provide, as we widen our net.
Please respond to the acting Dockmaster, Invergordon, and Any current will flow to me.
Clan Gordon is deeply in the Congress' debt.

As of this second, the kill-on-sight order on Evangeline McDowell is hereby rescinded, by order of the Director of Liberty Operations. That means no more hunting her, no more shooting her unless - and I want to see some good solid evidence - unless she causes us trouble. If she attacks you, you may shoot back. If she gives us difficulties, you may shoot her. But if I hear of any Junker shooting her for any other reason than self-defence or her causing trouble, I will personally see to it that you will never again see the inside of any ship bigger than a CSV for as long as you live.
She's doing valuable work for us inside the Xeno organisation, trying to convince those cussed bastards that we aren't bad people, which could lead to - and this is a very favourable outcome for us - them not trying to kill us. So let her do her job. If she plays nice, you play nice.

Am I reading this correct the same Xeno that has been wreaking havoc at our base is somehow friendly? Last time I spoke with this person she demanded I hand over my ship because she was involved with the traitor Junker we were ordered to dispatch. Of course I refused and she commenced an attack on myself and the Salvager we had deployed there. The Salvager, Eva and myself all lost our ships in this attack.
Look in the interest of getting back to business I'll concur with the cease fire. What about the ones loyal to her are they going to respect the cease fire as well?

If she doesn't, you don't have to either. But I want to see some evidence.
Got another visit from Eva today. This time she was carrying a freelancer ID and IFF but yet still claiming to be Xeno? She was ready to engage until I mentioned Pieguy asked us to not engage her unless she engages us. Amazingly no shots were fired but this person has some strange issues. Two congressmen witnessed her and took screen shots of her equipment. Can I get a Freelancer ID and start claiming I'm Junker? How bout a Freelancer ID and chose to be Nomad? Where does it end?
As some of you may know I have been re-appointed to Director of Kusari opperations. Also its come to my attention through firsthand experiance of the poor Squadron strength in the Sigmas.
So let me get to the point. Willing Congress members who are able to spare thier ships can sign up below to be part of the Yanagi Alpha Wing.
Ships that are part of the Y.A.W must remain in a battle ready status in the Hangar at Yanagi and be ready to deploy when called upon to intercept hostiles or perform missions within Kusari.
Now, I know that this may well become a finacial burden for some of you, as the price of ship repairs and ammunition are costly, and so I am offering a monetary incentive to Pilots that wish to apply for it. Of cource I will look more favorably on Members do do this to support the interests of the Congress rather then for thier own personal financial gain.
So, any pilots willing to join can message me personaly to be added to the roster.

I am new with Junkers and so far i liked it much.
But yesterday i flew in Tau's and i got serious complaints from IMG and CR.
Seems there is a pirating Junker who pirated a CR transport.
They gave me his name and when i did not feel welcome anymore i went to contact the pirating Junker.
He told me he did pirate the CR transport and i asked him if he would not in the future...
But i don't know what action to take, so i am posting in my question.
Can Junkers pirate, is it allowed by Junker command?
It would not be nice if we could not travel freely and get in trouble because of a Junker pirating.
I would very much like an answer about this matter
and if you are interested i could give you the name of the pirating ship.

Congressmen,
I have been in contact with the Zoner leadership and have received approval for us to use their gunboats as transport craft. They should never be used in conflicts with Zoners or Zoner allies. Furthermore, the Zoners are asking that we not fly their gunboats into Gallia as this is a touchy diplomatic situation and I am asking that you comply with this request.
Greetings Sir Now and welcome to the Junker life! As for if Junkers are allowed to pirate the answer is yes. Fact is the Junkers have enemies and those enemies do become targets of pirate attacks. This does not give a Junker complete freedom to hijack just anyone though. As a Junker you should gauge who it is your targeting for a pirate attack and make sure your not making a new enemy. A Junker really weighs in the pros and cons of what he is doing before he does it. Otherwise we fall into the same category as the factions we do business with and become hunted by lawfuls everywhere.
Was the Junker that pirated the CR a Congress member?

Greetings Congressmen!
Today around 6 o'clock while smoking in the cargohold outside Ames
i've encountered a Phantom ship by the name of Ze'ev's.Revenge.
I didn't answered his calls since i was checking some of the electronics
while i had my cigarette. He was not offensive first so i thought i could
safely ignore him since a lone very heavy fighter shouldn't be able to do
serious damage to the heavily armored Prime. Then i heard one of his
messages "Come on Junker, beg for your life." and he started dropping mines
on my ship, accompanied by firing his laser weapons and some missiles.
So i ordered my guys to open fire on it.
He was pretty persistent but the armor and the Prime's weaponry did their work.
After he ran out of mines and missiles also bots and batteries he just stood
at safe range shouting his "threats". We couldn't kill him since he is far faster
than the Prime so i've eventually grew tired of him and returned to Rochester,
he followed us all the way through Colorado shouting for some Xeno to assist him
but even those guys sleep sometimes so our trip through the system was quite uneventful.
