Greetings, dear colleagues.

I come to you bearing unfortunate news that have come to pass over the last several days. As you all know, the Farmers Alliance is becoming an increasingly hostile faction that targets anyone working with Synth Foods due to the hardships the Alliance is enduring as a result of Synths taking over the food market.

At an earlier date, an incident occurred where my navigation console plotted a course through the Jump Hole Shikoku > Kyushu, which put my vessel dangerously close to an Alliance base. As my vessel was stopped by a member of the Alliance, we managed to come to a mutual agreement which saw my vessel not being extorted in exchange for avoiding that specific jump hole in the future. For several days after, there were no incidents with the Alliance.

That was until the 22/08/834 AS, when a member of the Alliance was disrupting the trade lane network within Shikoku, pirating any unknown vessel. My vessel was unfortunately caught in the lane disruption, and was ejected directly in front of the Alliance bomber. After some discussion and interrogation by the Alliance, a demand of 10,000 Sirius Credits was issued, with which I had to comply, as I preferred coming back in one piece. A detailed communication log will be attached below. I always held out hope that the Alliance is simply struggling to rebuild what they lost to foreign influence. However, after the recent piracy attacks on Bristol vessel, I see them now as nothing more than simple Samura thugs. What makes matters worse is that these piracy raids are occurring on the main trade lane that Bristol uses for Platinum transportation. It is one thing to fight against the Synths, but it is an entirely different thing to go out of their way to pirate neutral organisations. Unacceptable.

We as an organisation need to look into possible solutions to this issue, as this is endangering all our employees.
