Mr Libertus, your excellent and detailed reports that you've recently submitted to the Guild Comms, have assisted us in some legal conflicts that we currently have.
For your service, we have decided to give you the access codes to several gunboats that the IMG| owns and maintains. Keep up the good work.

I received a message from IMG|Gene.Starwind who was tangling with a pirate Pomelo[T] in the space between Aland and Freeport 1. I took my Repair Ship out and assisted with a gun reconfiguration after the battle.
If anyone in the Omegas needs anything, just call - always available to serve the Guild!
B.Q. - out
Captain Gene here, Thank you for the repairs! after my encounter with that nasty pilot my vessel was torn to shreds luckily I made it to Aland where I was able to further service my craft. As for that pirate I suggest keeping an eye out in the lanes as his tag was marked [T] very misleading indeed. It will be a few days until my vessel in 100% and ready to fly until then ill be hangin at the bar I heard Jake Winslow is in the area and might stop by.

To Guild Leadership
I was conducting a VIP tour of the Tau 23 ore fields with a customer from New Berlin last night. There was an Outcast on the edge of scanner range, but it did not approach. While fiddling with the nav computer and planning to move the tour to our facilities in Tau 39, we were jumped by a Junker Marauder with callsign : JM|-Food.Stamps.

[14.05.2015 04:08:23] JM|-Food.Stamps: Dont move.
[14.05.2015 04:08:53] IMG|Starless.Black: what can I do for you?
[14.05.2015 04:09:09] JM|-Food.Stamps: I'm here collecting tolls.
[14.05.2015 04:09:12] JM|-Food.Stamps: And you need to pay.
[14.05.2015 04:09:17] JM|-Food.Stamps: Two million should cover it.
[14.05.2015 04:09:45] IMG|Starless.Black: thats awfully steep
[14.05.2015 04:10:00] IMG|Starless.Black: in our own fields - no less
I felt the demand was bold considering these fields are ours. Plus the marauder was in a Borderworlds Transport. As he had little more power than my Armored Transport, I stalled. About this time, a Gallic patrol vehicle arrived. GRP|-Avignon
[14.05.2015 04:10:21] GRP|-Avignon: Eloise: Is there a problem here?
[14.05.2015 04:10:38] JM|-Food.Stamps: I dont particularly care who owns these fields.
[14.05.2015 04:10:41] JM|-Food.Stamps: All I care is that you pay.
[14.05.2015 04:10:43] IMG|Starless.Black: We are disagreeing over the ownership of these fields
[14.05.2015 04:11:23] JM|-Food.Stamps: I'd highly suggest you pay, miner.
[14.05.2015 04:11:48] GRP|-Avignon: Eloise: I believe that the IMG pilot has more of a claim than you do, junker.
It was at this point, I chose to run. The JMI hit me with a cruise disruptor on the edge of our fields, but for some reason the marauder was slow in pursuit. I was already close to 5 clicks away. I jumped to Tau 39. The JMI followed but I was already deep in the nebula cloud. The JMI could not get a fix on my ship.
I took our VIP guest for a tour of our Tau 39 facilities.
On one hand you would think our customers would be scared by the threats and the piracy, but actually since I began these tours, I find our customers are excited by these encounters. they are often disappointed when they don’t happen. Many of these folks are planet dwellers and this is one of their rare chances to get out in space and have some adventure. I take them on a tour, show them some ore samples, visit the bases, and of course hit the bars.
In this particular case, our VIP guest was thrilled with the adventure and now has a greater appreciation in what it takes to get our ore mined and delivered. They appreciate our pricing as well.
Despite the recent increase in troubles in the Taus, our New Berlin contracts are safe.

I have a message to pass onto IMG command, upon launching from Java station I encountered an IMG transport known as ""Gogga"" who is known to the guild, after scanning his hold it appeared he was carrying base supplies. Assuming he was supplying Siloso I followed him into the Tau 39 system where he flew past Siloso prompting me to ask his intentions. After a short and breif conversation it soon became apparent that this detachment of miners have constructed them selves a station within the Tau 39 system approxomitly 30k from Siloso in sector charlie 2.
I can confirm that the station command has sent authentic docknig codes for all IMG vessles and appears to be in the early stages of construction, as a gesture of will I returned to Java and launched the Atlanta to assist in the supplying of said station. However the base commanders report that the base was spotted by a outcast patrol so it is expected that a outcast capital fleet may attempt to breach the tau 39 system via tau 23.
I have passed this intelligence to Siloso command and advise moving our GPV and GDV units to further strengthan Siloso's defensive grid.

Subject: Possible Evacuation of the South Shield Refinery
Tag meine Damen und Herren,
Captain Susanne Weirich is back and working again. I have the tell you something, I found in Newcastle. It is huge, it has Weapons Platforms and it is only a few klicks away from
one of our station.
South Shield Refinery exactly. The Bretonia Armed is working and fighting already against this giant glowing mushroom. Maybe, it is a Nomad installation or something else what shouldn't be there...
What I wanted to say, we should evacuate the Refinery and leave only an emergency crew behind until the crisis is over in this region.
Also, I would halt any operations in the area...
Don't know, but that is all wanted to say.
I fear, Bretonia could lose the control in this case and result would be devastating if the unknown murder all of the crew..
I hope, our chef etage will not ignore this.
That is all for now.
Susanne Weirich
Miner/Captain
PS: I'll try to guard the station. If you have any ideas, what we should do then lets hear it.

Subject: The search for my Sister
Dear members off the IMG,
this is an call for help from me. My sister Yisha is currently gone missing.
All we know is she`s heading towards the deeper Omegas or even the Omicrons.
I need your help to find her and save her from any harm that will come to her or she will do to herself.
So if any of you saw her or have informations about her please tell me.
I fear she will do something terribly stupid to herself.
I`m heading out for the deep Omegas tonight, you can conntact me over my private, secure Comm.
-- The Code is Whiskey/Tango/Foxtrott --
My first destination will be Freeport 9 in Omicron Theta.
If i dont get into contact with you within 48 hours, expect the worst.
Here`s a picture of Yisha, show it around even to freelancers who travel into the Omegas/Omicrons often.
