I was enhancing the defence of NB when a trader informed me Tinky had been spotted at the sigma13 JH. Now i'm beginning to think this girl is more than a little crazy after the whooping she got only a few days before but here she is back again. I scrambled the muahdib once more and met with Helios on the way to the hole. Helios diven in and engaged tinky. when I entered 13 tinky took one look at the battlecruiser that caused hership so much damage and docked leaving us with a few passing insults about our need to fight in numbers..... strange that I destroyed her alone last time we met.
Irritated and already in a frame of mind for slaughtering these scum ridden filthy pustules of evil I decided to repay the corsairs kindness in visiting us so frequently. Helios and I decided to attack Gamma. I switched to the cruiser Hydra and met up with helios inside gamma just off to the side of the dust cloud from theta. Naturally our arrival hailed a barrage of insults and demands to leave. Long range scanners showed 11 corsairs. Death or glory time for us then. I passed on our kindest regards and advised them how deligted I was to see so many fine pirates for RepEx to destroy. Of course my threats were not heeded these corsairs having egos that far extend the size of their brains. Our first encounter was with a Battleship by the name of RickJames. Helios and I engaged this Osiris dreadnought and caused significant damage before we were forced to disengage by the numbers of ships arriving from crete to support. We disengaged and moved to 41. After I had repaired at a zoner base Helios took the attack to them at the 41 JH. Helios has undoubtedly earned his captains badge today as he held 5 corsaair fighters at bay until the Hydra was repaired.
An epic battle between 5 corsairs and 2 repex ensued for about 20 minutes. The two benitez brother ferono and Jose gave memorable accounts of themselves. Ferono fell to helios and Jose disengaged. I personally took down 2 corsairs and forced another to retreat.
The hammer blow has been struck against these idiots who would do harm to my brother at Arms Alex.
I intend to kill as many of these fools as the energy cells in my guns will allow.
Long live the republican empire and strong may we stand.
Tastra reporting friends, sorry i have not been around, received message from family on New Berlin and had to hurry back there. My son had contracted a deadly disease and was on his death bed. He passed on to a better place at 4.47 two nights ago. I have been in mourning with my family since. My wife is inconsolable, and my daughter keeps asking where her brother has gone. This will be a hard time for me and i will be trying to get back to duties when i can. Need something to fill this void. What is the news of late?

Message: I am sorry for your loss Tastra and I hope that you will return to our ranks soon. If you have not heard, our CEO Alex Cummings has had an attempt made on his life and is recouperating in hospital. In the mean time I will carry on his plans for our great company.
To the rest of you, plans for the assimilation of the new Security firm, Black Talon Incorporated, with our existing Security Division will move ahead in our CEO's absense. I will give you all directions for meeting the change, and I assure you, since some have already shown concern to that effect, that we are NOT becoming a piece of the Rheinland Military.

Sorry about the loss Tastra, hopefully you can come back to RepEX when you and your family recover, best of luck to you friend.
Our CEO being almost assasinated, ive never heard about that yet. hopefully we can track down the person responsible.
In Honshu System on Monday, Alliance pirates tried raiding me on the route. They want 2mill a pass. Allmost destroyed my train but i put up a fight becuase i diddnt have funds to give at the time. Got out alive but massive damages. Destroyed Shields and badly damaged hull. Drydocked on Planet Honshu. Forced me to pay up instead of risking losing ship and all contents.
Watch out for Alliance pirates and other pirates when entering Honshu System via Sigma-13.
Recommed all ships travelling that route hire/bring an escourt just to be safe.
Questions:
I want to join the RepEX Security Force, can anyone help me with it?
I'm sure someone will set you up with your security character very soon, but I would suggest you hang fire for a while until the new unit,
Black Talons is sorted out.

Message: In regards to the advancement of the consolidation of the Black Talon project, I am preparing final arrangements which will be implemented within 48 hours maximum. For the time being all new members of RepEx Security will be asked to wait until new naming conventions and staffing arrangements are made. In addition to a name change and slight shift in policy, the new Private Security Contractor under RepEx will be carrying the Generic Military ID, instead of the currently assigned Mercenary ID. Those wishing to get ahead of the game should proceed to Battleship Strausberg in New Berlin to purchase one. Further instructions as per the project will be advanced shortly.
Requesting advice on what to do about this Black Talon situation ((what is happening??))
Sorry to be a pain sirs, as have been out of duty i have not picked up the messages, and my onboard computer deletes all unread broadcasts to keep ship in good condition memory wise.

Tastra my smost sincere regards go to you and your family during this emotional time. It is with sorrow that I must ask you to come back on duty however your guns will be of great use to us in the coming weeks. I intend to release some funds to you in the medium term to take your family away on a cruise on one of the luzury liners in sigma. Naturally I will pay for your entire family to take this well desred break when the time permits. At present we are at a hightened state of readiness due to the recent Corsairs attacks on Rheinland, Shipping and our CEO and therofore I must ask that you return to duty. I am condfident that you will help to shore up 747's wing admirably he could use a strong arm to enforce our will where required.
All security vessels are recalled from active duty to Hamburg or new berlin for rebranding and organisational training untill our rebranding campaign is complete. This will allow us to facilitate the changeover to Black Talon smoothly and without complication.
Escort duties are temporarily on hold until further notice unless authorised by a Wing Commander or captain. Should escorts be provided security vessels must be redocked at Hamburg before you finish shift. Please ensure the security of Hamburg and New Berlin is enforced throughout this changeover period. We have experienced a high volume of corsair and Unioner activity recently. Defend our borders and the fatherland with your guns.
Roger sir, you can count on me. Will be active asap
