Sir,

As you probably don't know me, I'm Robert Johnson, manager of a recently created mining comnany belongig to the guild. You can also call me "Bob", simply.

I've got troubling news regarding a junker ship seen in our space. The pilot is identified as "Banjaxed" and is flying a junker bomber. She was first seen mining in our niobium field, which is... unusual for a ship of this type and this affiliation, but it doesn't really matter.

It seems she had an altercation with our mining ship *JMC*Lantier (who had some bad experiences with junkers before). As the Lantier was full and headed back to Tau-39 for a rendez-vous with our hauler, the junker pilot followed him through the jump hole. The captain of the Lantier immediately warned her she was violating a guard system and was in infraction, the junker ignored him and came deeper in the system. As he was unarmed and words didn't work, the Lantier docked to Jakarta and warned his superiors.

The Germinal was immediately launched in space and tried to establish a contact with the intruder. This is a recording of the talk I had with her :



Finally the Junker chose to turn around and headed back in Tau-23. I'd consider it as a banal incident without this :



It looks like a confession of spying, that's why I thought necessary to report it to competent authorities.

On your service,


Johnson out.
