Subject: Order ships and IMG brawl
Encryption: Moderate
Konnichiwa.
Today was my first patrol out into the Taus, which was led by the Drago Celestino, who did his best to make sure I came back alive and experienced.
The day started with a simple call-out to Tau-23 to deal with an IMG force that had amassed there. We soon found that it was not only the IMG who had occupied the system, but a collection of Order Agents that bore the "D9|" tag and had broken IFF transponders. While we were going to escort them out of the Taus in a body bag, they vanished as the IMG appeared.
Our attention shifted back the miners and after some small talk about what we'd just seen, we engaged a pilot named Robert Walker, who thought he could trash talk the Lance and get away unscathed. Laura Huntington and Alexandra Mckenzie fled to Java, where Robert eventually led us. They finally mustered up some courage and decided to take us on.
The fight went crooked, but we were assisted by the pilot of the Orange Dream and 2 Junker Marauder ships. Eventually, a 3rd Junker chimed in to help while a member of the Crimson Cross appeared to lend a hand.
The battle jumped to Tau-37 for a moment, then back to 23, where it eventually died down with the retreat of Laura, demanding a Maya McAscott to dock to safety.
I'll attach the logs for your entertainment.

[30.08.2014 10:20:43] CL}Drago.Celestino": We're not fond of Order.
[30.08.2014 10:20:55] D9|Chameleon: "Do you think a Libertorian will get along with an Order agent very well?"
[30.08.2014 10:21:13] D9|Wild.Fox: *She nod*
[30.08.2014 10:21:25] D9|Chameleon: "Never mind"
[30.08.2014 10:21:28] CL}Drago.Celestino": Order is an organization, not a race or house.

[30.08.2014 10:25:32] IMG|Laura.Huntington: and keep distance.
[30.08.2014 10:25:39] CL}Drago.Celestino": Nomad inflection.
[30.08.2014 10:25:56] IMG|Laura.Huntington: There are no mining operations running now, so we have all the lexibility we need
[30.08.2014 10:26:04] CL}Akane.Namahara.: I'd be more concerned about the cash sink just in front of us.
[30.08.2014 10:26:22] CL}Drago.Celestino": Saluti, miners.
[30.08.2014 10:26:24] IMG|Laura.Huntington: Cash sink? I do not think I understand
[30.08.2014 10:26:39] CL}Drago.Celestino": Thoughts on the weakest?
[30.08.2014 10:26:53] Orange.Scream: Hmmm
[30.08.2014 10:26:56] CL}Akane.Namahara.: Who do you deem the weakest?
[30.08.2014 10:27:04] Orange.Scream: Well, the strongest is most certainly Laura
[30.08.2014 10:27:19] Orange.Scream: So, I would say Alexandra
[30.08.2014 10:27:20] CL}Drago.Celestino": The strongest shall be our target then.
[30.08.2014 10:27:26] Orange.Scream: Very well
[30.08.2014 10:27:28] CL}Drago.Celestino": We can dodge the weak one.
[30.08.2014 10:27:28] IMG|Laura.Huntington: So, you were talking to these D9| Order Agents?
[30.08.2014 10:27:46] IMG|Laura.Huntington: What did they tell you? You seemed not very pleased
[30.08.2014 10:27:54] CL}Drago.Celestino": When are we ever pleased with the Order?
[30.08.2014 10:28:07] IMG|Laura.Huntington: That was the question. Did they tell you the same story?
[30.08.2014 10:28:18] CL}Drago.Celestino": They gave no story, only incoherence.
[30.08.2014 10:28:26] CL}Drago.Celestino": Detestable.
[30.08.2014 10:28:35] IMG|Laura.Huntington: Sounds about the same as I can report from my attempts to question them.
[30.08.2014 10:28:47] CL}Drago.Celestino": Regardless, they are gone. You are here.
[30.08.2014 10:28:47] Robert.Walker: We have some Outcasts here.
[30.08.2014 10:28:51] IMG|Laura.Huntington: Suspicious people, indeed.
[30.08.2014 10:28:59] IMG|Laura.Huntington: Yes. We know.
[30.08.2014 10:29:01] Orange.Scream: Well done for spotting the obvious, Mr. Walker
[30.08.2014 10:29:13] IMG|Laura.Huntington: It's a conversation just now.
[30.08.2014 10:29:37] IMG|Laura.Huntington: So, what did you decide who they are?
[30.08.2014 10:29:39] CL}Drago.Celestino": You maintain a lot of firepower for "miners".
[30.08.2014 10:29:46] Robert.Walker: Since when are you talking with Outcasts?
[30.08.2014 10:29:58] CL}Drago.Celestino": Who I think they are is not important.
[30.08.2014 10:30:03] Robert.Walker: They are just murders.
[30.08.2014 10:30:05] IMG|Laura.Huntington: Since it is almost the end of my patrol and I have had enough fighting for today.
[30.08.2014 10:30:11] CL}Drago.Celestino": Have you.
[30.08.2014 10:30:23] CL}Drago.Celestino": You will send your dogs in for you, then?
[30.08.2014 10:30:29] CL}Drago.Celestino": Or will you pay for peace today?
[30.08.2014 10:30:33] CL}Akane.Namahara.: That'll make the next part all that bit easier for us then.
[30.08.2014 10:30:36] IMG|Alexandra'Mckenzie: Dogs? Who are you calling a dog
[30.08.2014 10:30:43] CL}Drago.Celestino": Woof woof.
[30.08.2014 10:30:49] CL}Akane.Namahara.: You, obviously.
[30.08.2014 10:30:58] CL}Drago.Celestino": Now, your kind is often stubborn.
[30.08.2014 10:31:02] IMG|Alexandra'Mckenzie: You need to go back to Malta and be taught some manners.
[30.08.2014 10:31:09] CL}Drago.Celestino": But, we can deal if you can deal.
[30.08.2014 10:31:11] CL}Akane.Namahara.: *she giggles* This is quite fun, the taunting.
[30.08.2014 10:31:13] Robert.Walker: Let`s make them pay for their words.
[30.08.2014 10:31:20] Robert.Walker: We are stronger guys.
[30.08.2014 10:31:23] CL}Drago.Celestino": You can pay in credits, or in hull.
[30.08.2014 10:31:24] JM|-Scrub.Two: I heard there was some fightin' ta be had!
[30.08.2014 10:31:43] CL}Drago.Celestino": Walker burns first. His attitude offends.

[30.08.2014 10:32:02] CL}Akane.Namahara.: Noted, all onto Walker.

[30.08.2014 10:32:27] CL}Akane.Namahara.: What a surprise.
[30.08.2014 10:32:30] Robert.Walker: Retreat is not for us at the moment.
[30.08.2014 10:32:30] CL}Drago.Celestino": Hide your hide.
[30.08.2014 10:32:30] IMG|Alexandra'Mckenzie: On it.
[30.08.2014 10:32:30] IMG|Laura.Huntington: Getting shot is no fun either
[30.08.2014 10:32:39] Robert.Walker: We can defeat them.
[30.08.2014 10:32:39] Orange.Scream: But i thought we all loved guns?
[30.08.2014 10:32:45] JM|-Scrub.Two: Don't you know the moves to the dance, Miss Huntington?
[30.08.2014 10:32:51] JM|-Scrub.Two: Or has mining worn down your skills?
