Bombers from Niigata Star City's 2nd Squadron and interceptors from Sigma Wing were scrambled earlier today in response to what was described as a "battleship-sized scanner signature", with Sigma 19 (no relation to the system) eventually intercepting a Core Mako in Sigma-59, heading towards the Sigma-19 jumphole with an escort of five Core fighters: four Mantas and a Wraith piloted by "Core Guildmaster" Matt Bishop. The battleship's escorts had already jumped to the Sigma-19 system by the time that Kaichou bombers were able to get within range of the battleship, and we made several attempts to deter the battleship from Guild space, including firing several warning shots that caused minor shield damage. All five escort fighters jumped back into 59 at this time, prompting me to return to Niigata briefly to retrieve the Silver Bullet II.
After some bickering that revealed that the Core had no intentions of leaving Guild space, we engaged the enemy, eventually trading two Karasus for 4 Mantas and a Mako. Matt Bishop was able to escape onto the Luxury Liner Hawaii, although I attempted to chase him down on the liner. Difficulties in bringing a suitable weapon for close quarters engagements onto the liner (no guns allowed, according to OSC policy) allowed Bishop to escape back into the woodwork.
Silver Bullet II sustained heavy damage in the fight, including the effective loss of the aftermarket Beagle Active Probe that I had installed in the nose. Silver Bullet II also experienced loss of number one and number two engines due to enemy action, but remained battleworthy and eventually made it back to Sigma-59 with only one engine and thruster power. Silver Bullet II is due for repairs, as it is currently operating at only 24% combat effectiveness, but I've made plans to have a Mako kill mark painted on the side of my ship.
Sigma-59 has recently played host to a range of troubles. A group of freelancer ships purchased a bulk amount of helium-3 from Iejima Station. This is no real cause for concern, but I decided to fly with them through Sigma-19, and they proceeded to Sigma-59, converging around Nobeoka Platform. The ships idled here for quite some time for no apparent reason, which aroused my suspicion. I decided to take some scans.
Following a small exchange of words and further idling, the ships all shot off in different directions, which, due to later events, I could only assume was an attempt to evade my watchful eye. I followed a group three ships into a seemingly random direction, taking us on a trip through empty space around Sigma-59. After some travel, I decided to drop off radar and then make my way back to Nobeoka, should they be coordinating a rendezvous when it appeared the tail was shaken.
My manoeuvre paid off. The ships had regrouped at Nobeoka, interestingly having been joined by another Guildmember carrying helium-3. Apparently this was a good photo opportunity. Some more time passed, before I landed to make a quick ship checkup on Nobeoka. Upon launching from the base, a "Bustard" Civilian Carrier had appeared, equipped with an illegal jumpdrive. The loitering while I was present, coupled with the apparent attempts to rid themselves of my presence and then the addition of a ship in direct violation of Guild laws when it appeared they had, implies knowledge of Guild law and conscious intent to break them. I immediately tractored the fuel to disrupt the jump, informed the ships they were breaking Guild law, and that they were to leave the Sigmas immediately, at which time a squadron of Core fighters passed by, one of which was carrying artifacts and alien materials, also breaking Guild law, but at the time no resources were available to challenge this ship. These ships initially offered their assistance, but with fellow Guildmembers arriving to provide support, it was deemed unnecessary.
The freelancers were eventually escorted out of Sigma-59, albeit claiming to be taking their "business" to Samura and taking their time, presumably to be difficult. They eventually left for the Hiroshima system.

[14.08.2016 19:48:24] GMG|Namura.Maru: Guild law dictates that jump drives are not permitted in Guild space without authorisation.
[14.08.2016 19:48:35] Smoker: autorisation from who?
[14.08.2016 19:48:37] -<Johnywalker>-: why you dont ask first for authorization?

[14.08.2016 19:49:03] -<Johnywalker>-: argh... now we need start over!
[14.08.2016 19:49:13] GMG|Namura.Maru: No, I am afraid your convoy needs to leave Guild space immediately.

[14.08.2016 19:49:24] Queen: well we kinda cant

[14.08.2016 19:49:48] Smoker: Pitch the tents i dont see an issue
[14.08.2016 19:50:05] GMG|Namura.Maru: Guildmember Smoker, you will defer to my judgement on this matter.
[14.08.2016 19:50:12] GMG|Namura.Maru: All ships, please vacate Guild space immediately.
[14.08.2016 19:50:23] Queen: Guild space?
[14.08.2016 19:50:28] Queen: Bounty Hunters or GMG..
[14.08.2016 19:50:29] GMG|Namura.Maru: Yes. The Sigma systems.
[14.08.2016 19:50:36] Fat_Kimmy: That is what we were TRYING to do
[14.08.2016 19:50:40] -<Johnywalker>-: i hope GMG not invade liberty again then...
[14.08.2016 19:50:59] -<Johnywalker>-: they can come to us, but we are not allowed here... intersting...
[14.08.2016 19:51:10] Queen: I love how much he paused on the BHG or GMG question, that proves how much authority he has doesnt it.
[14.08.2016 19:51:17] GMG|Namura.Maru: This is Guild space.
[14.08.2016 19:51:21] Queen: Which guild?
[14.08.2016 19:51:21] -<Johnywalker>-: overall for the houses economy, when we have direct bussiness with GMG.... anyway...
[14.08.2016 19:51:30] GMG|Namura.Maru: The Gas Miners Guild.
[14.08.2016 19:51:38] -<Johnywalker>-: i see things continue the same way...
[14.08.2016 19:51:38] Queen: But there is a bounty hunter base.
[14.08.2016 19:51:49] -<Johnywalker>-: yes Queen...
[14.08.2016 19:51:55] GMG|Mizumi.Reiko: Woah woah woah!
[14.08.2016 19:52:01] -<Johnywalker>-: but looks like that have no effect anymore.... interesting
[14.08.2016 19:52:01] Smoker: So uh Guildmaster
[14.08.2016 19:52:12] GMG|Mizumi.Reiko: Trespassers?
[14.08.2016 19:52:18] Queen: Otherway round
[14.08.2016 19:52:27] Queen: we were actually leaving but your 'guildmaster' stopped us
[14.08.2016 19:52:28] Smoker: Rumors iv been told says about a Samura base in this system?
[14.08.2016 19:52:34] Fat_Kimmy: Help we are being held captive!
[14.08.2016 19:52:46] GMG|Mizumi.Reiko: For good reason.
[14.08.2016 19:52:47] Jack-Sparrow: hi
[14.08.2016 19:52:54] Core|SF-1: ?: Greetings.
[14.08.2016 19:53:06] -<Johnywalker>-: just look... GMG focus more into this things than real danger junkers and outcast in sigma19....
[14.08.2016 19:53:10] -<Johnywalker>-: its ironic
[14.08.2016 19:53:20] Core|Matt.Bishop: Sorry guildmaster just passing by.
[14.08.2016 19:53:27] Core|Matt.Bishop: Need anything? *Smiling*
[14.08.2016 19:53:29] GMG|Mizumi.Reiko: This is insulting.
[14.08.2016 19:53:40] GMG|Namura.Maru: You are failing to comply with a Guild directive.
[14.08.2016 19:53:45] GMG|Namura.Maru: This is the last time I will ask.
[14.08.2016 19:53:51] Queen: Give us our fuel so we can comply with it then...
[14.08.2016 19:53:52] GMG|Namura.Maru: Engage cruise engines, and leave the Sigma systems.
[14.08.2016 19:53:58] GMG|Namura.Maru: No. Jump drives are illegal.
[14.08.2016 19:54:06] Queen: even if you give us our fuel we don't have enough to go use the jump drive
[14.08.2016 19:54:11] -<Johnywalker>-: no illegal if you have authorization
[14.08.2016 19:54:19] GMG|Namura.Maru: You do not have authorisation.
[14.08.2016 19:54:26] Smoker: Not even me?
[14.08.2016 19:54:26] Core|SF-1: ?: Oh boys, I'm so ready to blast them away!
[14.08.2016 19:54:29] -<Johnywalker>-: how you know? im just waiting my boss...
[14.08.2016 19:54:37] Core|Matt.Bishop: We can help you out if you need it, Guildmaster Namura.
[14.08.2016 19:54:41] Core|SF-1: ?: Time to turn on the weapons!
[14.08.2016 19:54:44] GMG|Namura.Maru: Because I am the first in command of the Gas Miners Guild.
[14.08.2016 19:54:46] Core|Matt.Bishop: Stand down for now.
[14.08.2016 19:54:52] GMG|Namura.Maru: And I am saying you do not have authorisation.
[14.08.2016 19:54:56] Core|Matt.Bishop: Wait for the guildmaster's mark.
[14.08.2016 19:55:08] -<Johnywalker>-: as you wish
[14.08.2016 19:55:10] Cannich: if you fire first and kill us it will be know as a slaughter
[14.08.2016 19:55:18] GMG|Mizumi.Reiko: Good.
[14.08.2016 19:55:26] Cannich: so thats your type is it
[14.08.2016 19:55:27] GMG|Mizumi.Reiko: Next time, don't bud inside our space uninvited.
[14.08.2016 19:55:37] GMG|Namura.Maru: There is no need for fighting. But you must comply with the directive I am giving you: leave the Sigmas.
[14.08.2016 19:55:46] GMG|Namura.Maru: Failure to comply WILL result in ship destruction.
[14.08.2016 19:55:54] Smoker: Mister Walker dont you mine for GMG ships?
[14.08.2016 19:56:05] -<Johnywalker>-: yes...
[14.08.2016 19:56:16] Smoker: After this event huh
[14.08.2016 19:56:17] Fat_Kimmy: Samura has better deals anyway
[14.08.2016 19:56:24] -<Johnywalker>-: after this... not anymore
[14.08.2016 19:56:26] GMG|Mizumi.Reiko: What'd you say?
[14.08.2016 19:56:33] GMG|Mizumi.Reiko: Did I hear 'Samura'?
[14.08.2016 19:56:35] Core|Matt.Bishop: Guildmaster do you need assistance escorting them out?
[14.08.2016 19:56:42] GMG|Namura.Maru: Core ships, please vacate the Sigma systems.
[14.08.2016 19:56:43] Queen: No you heard Calptraps Reiko
[14.08.2016 19:56:45] Smoker: ill let my little bird know not to mine for them then
[14.08.2016 19:56:53] Core|Matt.Bishop: I'll take that as a no.
[14.08.2016 19:56:58] Core|Matt.Bishop: Ok guys lets move outta here.
[14.08.2016 19:57:07] GMG|Namura.Maru: Thank you for your cooperation. Please enjoy your flight.

[14.08.2016 19:57:15] -<Johnywalker>-: where the hell is Okinawa?

[14.08.2016 19:57:29] Cannich: ill have a lovely day
[14.08.2016 19:57:29] GMG|Namura.Maru: Okinawa is Guild space. You should proceed to the Honshu system.
[14.08.2016 19:57:40] Queen: I'm going through the route I know
[14.08.2016 19:57:43] -<Johnywalker>-: from where! all is sigma!

[14.08.2016 19:58:24] Queen: it really doesn't matter at this point
[14.08.2016 19:58:29] GMG|Namura.Maru: Okinawa is Guild space, and you are to leave Guild space.
[14.08.2016 19:58:35] Smoker: Could go to Hiroshima
[14.08.2016 19:58:36] Queen: Yes but were surrounded by guild space

[14.08.2016 20:02:07] GMG|Namura.Maru: All of Okinawa is claimed by GMG. Please proceed to Hiroshima.
[14.08.2016 20:02:21] Queen: Im directing my formation, please give us time.
[14.08.2016 20:02:26] Queen: Your a GM, you should know this.
[14.08.2016 20:02:36] GMG|Namura.Maru: Please dock with the tradelane immediately.
[14.08.2016 20:02:41] Queen: Were waiting on smoke
[14.08.2016 20:02:42] -<Johnywalker>-: we are several vessels in convoy, be patient
[14.08.2016 20:02:51] Queen: if you wish for a genocide I have other means.
[14.08.2016 20:02:53] GMG|Mizumi.Reiko: Could you dock?

[14.08.2016 20:03:22] Fat_Kimmy: Days are meaningless in the vacuum of space
[14.08.2016 20:03:24] Queen: not all at once
[14.08.2016 20:03:39] GMG|Namura.Maru: If you do not dock with this tradelane, your ships will be destroyed. I will not ask again.

[14.08.2016 20:05:44] Queen: madCatz is droning on me cause his flight controls are broke I apologise for not using Thrusters
[14.08.2016 20:05:47] GMG|Namura.Maru: Thank you for your cooperation. Please enjoy your flight.
[14.08.2016 20:05:53] Queen: Good bye
[14.08.2016 20:05:54] GMG|Mizumi.Reiko: Finally.
It was at this time that the problems with the Core squadron arose, as it was apparently in the company of a "Mako" Core Battleship, spitting in the face of GMG authority. The battleship had been intercepted in Sigma-59, refusing demands it cut its engines and continuing on its set path. When I arrived in the Koryu Cloud, tempers had already flared, but with my negotiation quickly simmered down. The offending Mako was present.
The apparent leader of the squadron claimed to be heading to Outcast space to engage our mutual foes, which would be beneficial to The Guild and undoubtedly permitted were they only snubcraft, but the Core has no authorisation to bring capital vessels into Guild space. Directives were issued instructing the force to turn back, which were outright refused, the Core adamant they continue. Faced with no alternative, the paramilitary engaged at the Sigma-19 jumphole.
Heavy weapons were brought to bear on Guild ships, and Core scored first blood. The battle inevitably spilled into Sigma-19 itself, with the battleship causing major problems. A Chrysanthemum bomber happened to come to our aid, scoring an impressive supernova hit on its first volley. The Core ships were whittled down over time at the cost of another Karasu, until the sole remaining fighter fled and abused the Luxury Liner Hawaii's neutral position to make an emergency landing.
The Mako, the core of the problem was left without escort and slowly and effectively whittled down by the team of bombers present for the engagement and eventually successfully disabled, leaving the score at two Karasus lost with four Mantas and a Mako neutralised.
[14.08.2016 20:08:32] Death: GMG|Sigma-19 was put out of action by Core|WV-Numidia (Gun).
[14.08.2016 20:09:35] GMG|Keiji''Namura: Core ships, explain what is happening here
[14.08.2016 20:09:38] Core|Jack.Burns: Alright then, lets rip those miners apart
[14.08.2016 20:09:44] Core|Matt.Bishop: FINALLY.
[14.08.2016 20:09:45] Core|Matt.Bishop: ok
[14.08.2016 20:09:46] Core|Matt.Bishop: So

[14.08.2016 20:09:55] GMG|Keiji''Namura: Core ships, cease fire immediately.
[14.08.2016 20:10:00] Core|Jack.Burns: Done
[14.08.2016 20:10:03] GMG|Mizumi.Reiko: I knew these Core fellows were up to trouble.e
[14.08.2016 20:10:05] Core|Matt.Bishop: as I said 5 times to your pilots we're going to sigma-19 so we can go to omicron beta.
[14.08.2016 20:10:13] Core|WV-Numidia: RO: Fire ceased, Guildmasteur.
[14.08.2016 20:10:17] Core|Matt.Bishop: Thank you.
[14.08.2016 20:10:20] GMG|Keiji''Namura: You have a capital class vessel in Guild space. This is violation of Guild law.
[14.08.2016 20:10:29] Core|Matt.Bishop: Well sorry, can we get him out of Guild space?
[14.08.2016 20:10:29] GMG|Keiji''Namura: You are to return to where you you came from immediately.
[14.08.2016 20:10:33] Mas.Giner: They shot one of ours!
[14.08.2016 20:10:42] GMG|Kyosuke.Takeda: Guildmaster, be advised, they've taken down one of our bombers already.
[14.08.2016 20:10:43] Core|SF-1: ?: You shot first idiot!
[14.08.2016 20:10:54] GMG|Mizumi.Reiko: Already?!

[14.08.2016 20:11:00] Core|WV-Numidia: RO: We confirm being under fire already. We were defending.
[14.08.2016 20:11:03] Mas.Giner: What if they are dead?!
[14.08.2016 20:11:06] Core|Matt.Bishop: We came from the Omicrons, the way to omicron beta is through sigma-19.
[14.08.2016 20:11:12] GMG|Kyosuke.Takeda: As we were defending our home, trespasser.
[14.08.2016 20:11:17] Core|SF-1: ?: It wouldn't be a shame when you would be dead too!
[14.08.2016 20:11:23] Mas.Giner: I don't care! You shot my friend you bastard!
[14.08.2016 20:11:26] Core|Matt.Bishop: Well I get that but unless you want to provoke war please let me fix it.
[14.08.2016 20:11:27] GMG|Keiji''Namura: This battleship does not have authorsation to be in Guild space.
[14.08.2016 20:11:38] Core|SF-1: ?: Just shut up, kid
[14.08.2016 20:11:39] GMG|Keiji''Namura: It failed to comply with Guild directives.
[14.08.2016 20:11:40] Core|Jack.Burns: And were gonne get it out of your Guildspace
[14.08.2016 20:11:42] Core|Matt.Bishop: Well can we leave to Omicron beta?
[14.08.2016 20:11:44] GMG|Mizumi.Reiko: Say what?
[14.08.2016 20:11:46] Core|WV-Numidia: RO: We are on a campaign against zhe Outcasts. We don't need your ome. We are just passing srough.
[14.08.2016 20:11:52] GMG|Mizumi.Reiko: Did you just call /my/ Guildmaster a KID?!
[14.08.2016 20:11:59] GMG|Mizumi.Reiko: Can someone give the order?
[14.08.2016 20:12:01] GMG|Tal,Ravis: Alright.
[14.08.2016 20:12:04] GMG|Mizumi.Reiko: Anyone?
[14.08.2016 20:12:05] GMG|Tal,Ravis: I'm back.
[14.08.2016 20:12:05] Core|Matt.Bishop: We're on our way to go to Beta.
[14.08.2016 20:12:05] GMG|Keiji''Namura: No. Guild space is not a conduit for unauthorised capital vessels to pass through freely.
[14.08.2016 20:12:17] GMG|Keiji''Namura: All Core ships are vacate Guild space, they way they came.
[14.08.2016 20:12:17] Core|Matt.Bishop: OUT of the sigmas.

[14.08.2016 20:12:40] GMG|Tal,Ravis: We've given them like 20 chances to get out of our space.
[14.08.2016 20:12:58] Core|Matt.Bishop: Well lets get out of here.
[14.08.2016 20:13:04] Mas.Giner: They killed her!
[14.08.2016 20:13:06] Core|Matt.Bishop: Go to sigma-19 so we can go to omicron beta.
[14.08.2016 20:13:12] GMG|Keiji''Namura: Do not proceed to Sigma-19.
[14.08.2016 20:13:12] Core|Matt.Bishop: And LEAVE.

[14.08.2016 20:13:34] Core|SF-1: ?: We should kill them
[14.08.2016 20:13:38] Core|Matt.Bishop: Just do it its clear they want to provoke war.

[14.08.2016 20:13:43] Core|SF-1: ?: Show them the power of the Core!
[14.08.2016 20:13:48] GMG|Keiji''Namura: All Guild ships, open fire.
[14.08.2016 20:13:49] GMG|Tal,Ravis: Alright.
[14.08.2016 20:13:49] GMG|Mizumi.Reiko: Guildmaster, these guys dare threaten us.
[14.08.2016 20:13:50] Core|WV-Numidia: RO: Bien. We are jumping.
[14.08.2016 20:13:50] GMG|Tal,Ravis: Go time.

[14.08.2016 20:14:41] GMG|Mizumi.Reiko: Break them. Nobody insults my guildmaster.
[14.08.2016 20:18:13] Core|WV-Numidia: *The captain is delighted about the number of the targets, but disappointed by their size.*
[14.08.2016 20:18:20] GMG|Tal,Ravis: There's a Hog in the cloud.
[14.08.2016 20:24:44] Death: Core|SF-1 suffered a self-administered loadout error (Mine).
[14.08.2016 20:28:55] Death: GMG|Mizumi.Reiko suffered a self-administered loadout error (Mine).
[14.08.2016 20:30:24] GMG|Keiji''Namura: I am disengaging. You can handle this.
[14.08.2016 20:30:59] GMG|Keiji''Namura: Second thought, bombers, engage the battleship/
[14.08.2016 20:31:08] GMG|Keiji''Namura: Guildmember Ravis and I will handle the fighters.
[14.08.2016 20:31:15] Core|WV-Numidia: RO: Guildmasteur, we will last and outlast zhem!
[14.08.2016 20:31:34] Mas.Giner: Are you a gaul?

[14.08.2016 20:35:04] gc:Ayako.Nishimura.: That's a pretty big ship in a pretty bad place.
[14.08.2016 20:35:11] gc:Ayako.Nishimura.: I suppose I'd better help teach it a lesson.
[14.08.2016 20:40:40] Mas.Giner: I need a bigger gun.
[14.08.2016 20:42:05] Core|Shikinami: Shikinami joining the battle. Gloria Aeterna!
[14.08.2016 20:42:09] GMG|Tal,Ravis: Huh?
[14.08.2016 20:42:18] Core|Matt.Bishop: And theres my assistance.

[14.08.2016 20:49:47] Core|Matt.Bishop: Time for a nice spa.
[14.08.2016 20:49:57] GMG|Tal,Ravis: Yeah?
[14.08.2016 20:49:57] 2016-08-14 20:50:18 SMT Traffic control alert: Core|Matt.Bishop has requested to dock
[14.08.2016 20:50:04] Core|Matt.Bishop: Yep.

[14.08.2016 20:55:20] GMG|Tal,Ravis: Alright.
[14.08.2016 20:55:28] GMG|Tal,Ravis: I'm gonna go find that Bishop clown on Hawaii.
Efforts to locate Bishop were unsuccessful. This unprecedented show of aggression is major cause for concern, and Core movements need to be monitored.
An Outcast snubcraft squadron was detected in the Sigma-13 Crow Nebula, evidently having engage a number of Bundschuh ships, identifying themselves as belonging to the Vereinigte Widerstandsarmee paramilitary. Due to the highly incendiary nature of the situation, visual logs are minimal, however, extensive data on one hostile ship in particular was deemed to be of importance. This ship was an oddity, apparently in the possession of dangerous alien weaponry and special equipment, as well as an unknown power source.
This equipment gave it a vital edge, with a Bundschuh fighter succumbing to its firepower in equal combat. The ship, in critical condition from its earlier confrontation, was then disabled, saving the remaining Bundschuh ship, and its power source apparently salvaged. It should also be noted that a Hogosha ship was detected in the vicinity, but turned and disappeared into the nebula before it could be destroyed.
Shortly after this incident, a communication was directed to Guild channels, supposedly from a splinter fleet of the Outcasts. This appears to be a trap or ploy of sorts, and will go unanswered.
[12.09.2016 20:42:09] GMG|Keiji"Namura: Guildmember, assistance has arrived.
[12.09.2016 20:42:18] GMG|Keiji"Namura: Outcast ships, your presence in Guild space is violation of Guild law.
[12.09.2016 20:42:36] GMG|Keiji"Namura: Standard procedure is destruction of your ships.
[12.09.2016 20:42:39] GMG|Keiji"Namura: Discharging weapons.
[12.09.2016 20:42:41] Yomi.no.Kuni.: I see the Outcasts.
[12.09.2016 20:42:49] Yomi.no.Kuni.: I am ready to defend the honour of the Guild!
[12.09.2016 20:42:56] Yomi.no.Kuni.: Engaging the Outcast enemy

[12.09.2016 20:50:09] GMG|Sigma-13: Alright I'm not needed.
[12.09.2016 20:51:00] Death: NC-Rosa.Veraz|CID suffered a self-administered loadout error (Mine).
[12.09.2016 20:51:52] Yomi.no.Kuni.: Staying out of this.
[12.09.2016 20:52:00] Yomi.no.Kuni.: No honour in piling on the last man standing.
[12.09.2016 20:59:37] Death: VWA|K:Schatten was put out of action by Enma.Loyola (Mine).
[12.09.2016 21:03:08] GMG|Keiji"Namura: This may not continue.
[12.09.2016 21:03:15] GMG|Keiji"Namura: Outcast ship, you are to be destroyed.
[12.09.2016 21:03:18] GMG|Keiji"Namura: Discharging weapons.
[12.09.2016 21:04:51] Death: Enma.Loyola suffered a self-administered loadout error (Mine).
[12.09.2016 21:05:12] VWA|Hannah.Feinen: You brought your guild honor, friend
[12.09.2016 21:05:57] GMG|Keiji"Namura: Do you require assistance?
[12.09.2016 21:06:10] GMG|Keiji"Namura: Helgoland Station is available to offer critical repairs.
[12.09.2016 21:08:09] VWA|Hannah.Feinen: Your Kindness is appreciated
[12.09.2016 21:08:13] VWA|Hannah.Feinen: But we shall return home, Guten Tag.
[12.09.2016 21:08:29] GMG|Keiji"Namura: Good luck.
In addition, the Okinawa system yesterday played host to an unidentified ZBT-1002 "Whale" Zoner Deep Space Transport. A cloaking device was installed and a large quantity of iridium was apparently being delivered to Planet Miura. When questioned on their identity, the pilot gave vague answers, none of them particularly conclusive. They appeared friendly, docking to acquire a gift of sake, despite my protests.
When it became clear the conversation would remain unproductive, the ship was allowed to continue, and departed to the Sigma-19 jumpgate.
[13.09.2016 19:33:49] Nostalgia: ?: Good evening.
[13.09.2016 19:33:58] GMG|Keiji:Namura: Good day, pilot. Please hold for routine inspection.
[13.09.2016 19:34:09] Nostalgia: Sure thing.
[13.09.2016 19:34:25] GMG|Keiji:Namura: Thank you for cooperation. Be advised that Guild law dictates ships may not be flown through Guild space anonymously.
[13.09.2016 19:34:28] GMG|Keiji:Namura: Please identify yourself.

[13.09.2016 19:35:24] Nostalgia: Of course we are willing to cooperate.
[13.09.2016 19:35:46] GMG|Keiji:Namura: ZT-193 is an unusual...name. From where do you hail?

[13.09.2016 19:37:40] GMG|Keiji:Namura: That is most kind, but not necessary.
[13.09.2016 19:37:55] Nostalgia: Give me a moment.

[13.09.2016 19:38:43] Nostalgia: There it goes.
[13.09.2016 19:38:46] GMG|Keiji:Namura: Thank you, your gift is appreciated.
[13.09.2016 19:38:57] GMG|Keiji:Namura: However, I am still curious.
[13.09.2016 19:39:20] Nostalgia: We are Zoners, in many generations, we are confused with our origins as well.
[13.09.2016 19:39:26] Nostalgia: That's a really cimplocated topic.
[13.09.2016 19:39:33] GMG|Keiji:Namura: Ah, you are a Zoner. I understand now.
[13.09.2016 19:39:51] Nostalgia: Of course.

[13.09.2016 19:40:39] Nostalgia: Good luck to you as well.
Both of these incidents will be investigated immediately.
Name: Keiji Namura Subject: Archangels Fighter Club
In a highly important development, the Archangels Fighter Club is hereby banned from Guild space, and Newport Station, located in Sigma-13, is now to be blockaded by the Guild paramilitary in preparation for a siege and eventual invasion and takeover.
The Archangels have a history of causing trouble for The Guild, with all incidents apparently committed by individual members reported to the Club's leadership. The private channel dedicated to disclosing the details of smuggling, failure to comply with Guild directives, and outright aggression can be found on neural net channel 133294.
The most recent and final provocation, one that that we can not stand for, is the illegal development of Newport. The repressurisation of Yanagi Depot was undesirable but tolerated until now as it had not been responsible for causing any major issues, unlike its predecessor. However, following a conversation with the Archangels, who claim to be the new administrators of the base, this is no longer the case and as such it has been deemed necessary that the semi-derelict hulk be seized by force as soon as possible.
Consequently, all AFC ships detected in the Sigma systems are to be destroyed upon detection, and no cargo is permitted to reach Newport Station.
Guild docking protocols are in the process of being updated. In the meantime, all paramilitary asserts are to be on high alert.
An unusually high number of transports have been detected utilising the Sigma-13, Sigma-19 and Omicron Beta jumpholes to traverse Guild space.
The first was a Border World Exports Shetland, happened upon while moving towards the tradelanes in Sigma-13, its trajectory indicating it had entered the system via the Sigma-19 jumphole. While not a particularly common sight, this encounter is of potential importance when put into context with later events.
[13.10.2016 17:12:03] GMG|Namura.Maru: Good day, pilot. Please hold for routine inspection.
[13.10.2016 17:12:09] BES-Sealand: Good day.
[13.10.2016 17:12:27] GMG|Namura.Maru: Thank you for your cooperation. You may proceed at your leisure.
[13.10.2016 17:12:38] BES-Sealand: Thank you.
[13.10.2016 17:13:27] GMG|Namura.Maru: Please enjoy your flight.
[13.10.2016 17:13:30] BES-Sealand: You too.
A freelancer Serenity was the second transport seen, scanned when exiting the Sigma-19 jumphole. This was also deemed to be of little interest, and the pilot continued on their way unhindered with their cargo hold full of h-fuel.
[13.10.2016 19:29:38] GMG|Namura.Maru: Good day, pilot. Please hold for routine inspection.
[13.10.2016 19:29:51] DelBoy: good day to you sir
[13.10.2016 19:29:53] GMG|Namura.Maru: Thank you for your cooperation. You may proceed at your leisure.
[13.10.2016 19:30:24] DelBoy: Thank you . Fly safe*waves*
[13.10.2016 19:30:30] GMG|Namura.Maru: Please enjoy your flight.
Sighted for the second time was the first transport, this time en route to Sigma-19 and in possession of a large amount of industrial hardware, which is used in the construction of spaceborne structures and likely sourced from neighbouring Rheinland. Ships carrying such cargo must divulge their location when questioned by any Guildmember, in order to prevent the development of unauthorised installations in Guild space.
The answer was Iejima Station, apparently on the advice of Interspace Commerce. How this may have occurred is unknown, as while Iejima Station is currently undergoing an expansion, there are no active contracts with Interspace, and certainly not Bowex. Nevertheless, the shipment was successfully accompanied to Iejima, and the transport remunerated. It then departed to the Honshu system, with a cargo of helium-3 purchased from the Iejima commodity dealer.
[13.10.2016 19:31:43] GMG|Namura.Maru: Bowex ship, please hold.
[13.10.2016 19:31:49] BES-Sealand: Ok
[13.10.2016 19:32:14] GMG|Namura.Maru: You cargo has been detected as that often used in the construction of spaceborne facilities.
[13.10.2016 19:32:38] GMG|Namura.Maru: Guild law dictates the destination of all such cargo must be divulged.
[13.10.2016 19:32:45] BES-Sealand: I told to bring base builds and buy helium
[13.10.2016 19:32:58] GMG|Namura.Maru: Where is it you are taking your cargo?
[13.10.2016 19:33:30] BES-Sealand: interspace guy said to Ijima but where is?
[13.10.2016 19:33:56] GMG|Namura.Maru: Iejima Station is in Sigma-19. I shall escort you safely to dock.
[13.10.2016 19:34:06] BES-Sealand: ok thanks
[13.10.2016 19:34:26] GMG|Namura.Maru: Please follow me.
[13.10.2016 19:36:02] GMG|Namura.Maru: We have arrived safely.
[13.10.2016 19:36:08] BES-Sealand: thanks

[13.10.2016 19:36:34] 2016-10-13 19:36:39 SMT Traffic control alert: GMG|Namura.Maru has requested to dock
[13.10.2016 19:37:45] GMG|Namura.Maru: Thank you for your shipment. Please accept this bonus.
[13.10.2016 19:37:54] You have sent 3.000.000 credits to bes-sealand
[13.10.2016 19:38:17] BES-Sealand: thanks!
[13.10.2016 19:38:50] GMG|Namura.Maru: I must attend to other duties. Good flight!
[13.10.2016 19:38:54] BES-Sealand: you too
While returning to Sigma-13, a single message was received on a local frequency from the aforementioned freelancer. Communication was not possible as both ships were in the process of using the systems' connection. However, this is notable as it shows the freelancer had recently returned to Sigma-19, at this time for reasons unknown.
[13.10.2016 19:40:34] DelBoy: Hello again sir*wave*
It became fully apparent that something was afoot when the Zoner Whale marked as Nostalgia, previously observed acting suspiciously, was passed in Sigma-19, at the Sigma-13 jumphole. Previously inquiries have been inconclusive, but the behaviour of this ship may shed some light on its pilot and their motives, as well as that of the pilots previously encountered on this patrol. This one impromptu rendezvous was a short one as the empty ship and I parted ways.
[13.10.2016 19:46:39] Nostalgia: Konbanwa.
[13.10.2016 19:46:51] GMG|Namura.Maru: Good day, pilot.
DelBoy was the next to appear on scanners, this time apparently en route from the Omicron Beta jumphole, the first to be detected utilising this connection. He was later caught up with in Sigma-13, admitting to have come from Outcast space, which indicates he had been freely passing between Guild space, Omicron Beta, and perhaps even further.
However, merely travelling to and from Guild and Outcast and Corsair space, or even bringing items not declared as contraband from the Omicrons is not explicitly violation of Guild law. This is a loophole that shall be closed at next notice, lest it be abused by those wishing to do The Guild harm. Options being considered include a full embargo in both directions and a complete ban on all travel.
[13.10.2016 19:55:35] GMG|Namura.Maru: Freelancer, please hold.
[13.10.2016 19:55:51] DelBoy: For the third time ?*smiles*
[13.10.2016 19:56:12] GMG|Namura.Maru: Please be advised that Guild law dictates no cargo may be permitted to enter Corsair or Outcast space.
[13.10.2016 19:56:18] DelBoy: I think I'm alredy in your scanner log.
[13.10.2016 19:56:47] DelBoy: Oh OK. But why ?
[13.10.2016 19:57:08] GMG|Namura.Maru: Both organisations are at a state of war with The Guild. They may not be supplied in any manner.
[13.10.2016 19:58:01] DelBoy: yea but if I supply Guild with their good thats bad?
[13.10.2016 19:58:13] GMG|Namura.Maru: Yes, and would result in the confiscation of all of your cargo.
[13.10.2016 19:58:16] DelBoy: So I can only Export?
[13.10.2016 19:58:34] GMG|Namura.Maru: No. Trade with the Outcasts and Corsairs is forbidden.
[13.10.2016 19:58:42] GMG|Namura.Maru: Known sympathisers may find themselves banned from Guild space.
[13.10.2016 19:59:02] DelBoy: So how do you get the crucial materials for your mining operations ? From other houses or what ?
[13.10.2016 19:59:22] GMG|Namura.Maru: Of course. The Outcasts have no interst in supporting Guild operations.
[13.10.2016 19:59:31] GMG|Namura.Maru: You are now aware of the situation in the Sigma systems.
[13.10.2016 19:59:37] GMG|Namura.Maru: Please observe Guild law at all times in Guild space.
[13.10.2016 19:59:54] DelBoy: Ok sir now the situation is more clear to me .
[13.10.2016 20:00:06] GMG|Namura.Maru: Thank you for your time. You may continue.
[13.10.2016 20:00:26] DelBoy: Thank you for the information. Fly safe.
Pentultimately, it was a Zoner "Nephilim" Colony Ship to enter Sigma-19, from Sigma-17. Explicit violation of Guild law aside, its intended destination is the second example in rapid succession of a conspicuous technicality.
[13.10.2016 20:04:57] Slayer: Greetings!
[13.10.2016 20:05:06] GMG|Namura.Maru: Good day, Zoner. Please hold position.
[13.10.2016 20:05:37] GMG|Namura.Maru: I am afraid a ship of your size is not permitted in Guild space without prior authorisation, which you do not possess.
[13.10.2016 20:05:43] GMG|Namura.Maru: What is your destination?
[13.10.2016 20:05:48] Slayer: Heading to Omicron Beta
[13.10.2016 20:05:58] GMG|Namura.Maru: For what purpose?
[13.10.2016 20:06:33] Slayer: My final destination is Omicron Alpha
[13.10.2016 20:06:59] GMG|Namura.Maru: What is your objective in Omicron Alpha?
[13.10.2016 20:07:32] Slayer: Only observing the system.
[13.10.2016 20:08:04] GMG|Namura.Maru: Thank you for your cooperation. Please be sure to observe Guild law at all times in Guild space in the future.
[13.10.2016 20:08:09] GMG|Namura.Maru: Good flight.
[13.10.2016 20:08:17] Slayer: Thank you, i will!
[13.10.2016 20:08:24] Slayer: Good flight you too!
Finally, "Nostalgia" was interdicted at the Omicron Beta jump hole, in possession of a full load of industrial materials. While not conclusive, this implies the ships following unusual routes through Guild space were acting in league with the Outcasts. "Nostalgia" claimed to be travelling to Omicron Lost to supply an Order project. The Guild has no data on this system and will soon contact the Order to verify these claims in an effort to further discern this person's actions and motives. In the meantime, the cargo was confiscated and the transport ejected from Guild space, which were complied with.
Unauthorised attempts to dock with Iejima Station were denied due to this being a both failure to comply with Guild directives and a potential security risk to the base. Some of the confiscated cargo was later utilised in the upgrade project taking place on the storage depots.
[13.10.2016 22:04:10] GMG|Keiji,Namura: Please hold.
[13.10.2016 22:04:53] GMG|Keiji,Namura: Your cargo has been detected as that used in the construction of spaceborne facilities.
[13.10.2016 22:04:58] GMG|Keiji,Namura: Your destination appears to be Outcast space.
[13.10.2016 22:05:00] GMG|Keiji,Namura: Please explain.
[13.10.2016 22:05:31] Nostalgia: Are you a pirate?
[13.10.2016 22:05:38] Nostalgia: You want my cargo?
[13.10.2016 22:05:44] GMG|Keiji,Namura: I am a member of the Gas Miners Guild.
[13.10.2016 22:05:55] GMG|Keiji,Namura: Guild law dictates that the destination of cargo such as yours be disclosed.
[13.10.2016 22:06:06] GMG|Keiji,Namura: It is also against Guild law to transport any cargo into Outcast or Corsair space.
[13.10.2016 22:06:32] Nostalgia: Then I turn around?
[13.10.2016 22:06:45] GMG|Keiji,Namura: That is yet to be decided.
[13.10.2016 22:06:45] Nostalgia: I was going to the Order space
[13.10.2016 22:06:51] Nostalgia: Omicron Lost
[13.10.2016 22:07:13] GMG|Keiji,Namura: To where in Omicron Lost, precisely?
[13.10.2016 22:07:27] Nostalgia: I can't tell for a security reasons.
[13.10.2016 22:07:39] Nostalgia: But if I need to turn around, I will.
[13.10.2016 22:07:51] GMG|Keiji,Namura: Guild law dictates that the disclosure of your destination is mandatory.
[13.10.2016 22:07:58] GMG|Keiji,Namura: Failure to comply with Guild directives will result in ship destruction.
[13.10.2016 22:08:06] GMG|Keiji,Namura: It should also be noted that your cargo will be confiscated.
[13.10.2016 22:08:22] GMG|Keiji,Namura: What is your destination?
[13.10.2016 22:08:27] Nostalgia: Omicron Lost.
[13.10.2016 22:08:32] GMG|Keiji,Namura: To which station?
[13.10.2016 22:08:48] Nostalgia: There is no stations... yet.
[13.10.2016 22:09:03] Nostalgia: It is related with Iridium mining.
[13.10.2016 22:09:33] GMG|Keiji,Namura: You do not appear to be fully complying with Guild directives.
[13.10.2016 22:09:43] GMG|Keiji,Namura: Please jettison your entire cargo, then vacate Guild space via the Honshu jumpgate.
[13.10.2016 22:10:06] Nostalgia: I believe it's better to unload to to Iejima station.
[13.10.2016 22:10:30] GMG|Keiji,Namura: That will not be necessary.
[13.10.2016 22:11:07] GMG|Keiji,Namura: Thank you for your cooperation. Please proceed to the Honshu jumpgate.
[13.10.2016 22:11:12] GMG|Keiji,Namura: I shall escort you there safely.
[13.10.2016 22:13:14] Nostalgia: I will take Hellium.
[13.10.2016 22:13:26] GMG|Keiji,Namura: Iejima Station is not our destination.
[13.10.2016 22:13:26] Nostalgia: Wow.
[13.10.2016 22:13:47] GMG|Keiji,Namura: Please engage cruise engines and proceed to the Honshu jumpgate.
[13.10.2016 22:14:43] GMG|Keiji,Namura: Be sure to observe Guild law at all times in Guild space.
The possibility of a new Outcast installation must be investigated, beginning with survey teams entering Omicron Beta. Should any such project be located, it must be hindered even at great cost.
Since the previous report of suspicious traffic heading through Sigma-19 to Omicron Beta, these transports have continued unabated. However, despite past offending ships providing no clues other than "the Omicrons" to their final destination, a mission into Omicron Beta has led to promising results.
Two transports belonging to Bretonia Mining and Fabrication were detected in Omicron Beta, the first being BMF|Homeros and the second BMF|CargoStar, which appeared to be damaged. These ships were quite clearly guests of Ruiz Station, the main Outcast establishment in the system. The repair and apparent decoupling manoeuvres conducted by the previously wounded BMF|CargoStar implies it was granted sanctuary on the Outcast station, suggesting a neutral to friendly relationship between the two groups, which is most concerning. This implication also lends credence to the suspicion of the Bretonian ships previously detected with base materiel in the Sigmas being in league with our enemies.
A soft questioning of these ships proved fruitless, and they decided to leave Omicron Beta under the "assistance" of a GMG battle transport. They eventually jumped to the Honshu system and proceeded further into Kusari space, claiming to be moving to the New Tokyo system. They were not pursued further.
Fortunately, thanks to the trajectory of the BMF ships when they were caught at Ruiz, it was possible to partially extrapolate the direction they had come from. Due to the ambiguous nature of their flight path, it took several sectors of search patterns to finally stumble across a discernibly fresh construct in the system. This modular installation was already protected by a weapons platform and so it was deemed vital to retreat in order to ensure to longevity of the Garanchou freighter used. and the data acquired on its mission. Fortunately, the location of the so-called Catania Station was saved to its navigational systems, and later uploaded to the central computer on Iejima Station.
It is clear that this is not the end of the matter, and offensive operations that would be previously infeasible must be planned and conducted, in order to ensure the security of the Sigma systems.

[03.11.2016 14:03:23] GMG|Namura.Maru: Well, this is dangerous space to linger in. Perhaps you require an escort.
[03.11.2016 14:03:51] BMF|Homeros: yes why not ?
[03.11.2016 14:04:08] BMF|Homeros: that would be very kind of you

Cargo scanning and interdiction operations were a success some days ago. The first incident involved two freelancer Serenity transports, kolbenBfarm and Goombay, both in possession of illegal artifacts. Initially detected at the Honshu jumpgate in Sigma-19, both ships jumped to Aomori Station. There they were informed of their violation of Guild law and initially appeared to be complying, but then attempted to flee. Their ships were destroyed, and part of their cargo salvaged and transported to Iejima Station for storage.
[04.11.2016 14:42:35] GMG|Keiji,Namura: Good day, pilots. Please hold for routine inspection.
[04.11.2016 14:43:11] GMG|Keiji,Namura: Freelancer ships, please come to a stop. Failure to comply with Guild directives may result in ship destruction.
[04.11.2016 14:43:11] kolbenBfarm: ok we wait
[04.11.2016 14:43:38] GMG|Keiji,Namura: Freelancers, are you aware that the cargo you are carrying is illegal in Guild space?
[04.11.2016 14:43:53] Goombay: No officer
[04.11.2016 14:44:03] kolbenBfarm: no
[04.11.2016 14:44:09] Goombay: we are not aware
[04.11.2016 14:44:14] Death: BAF|Lt.Noa,Jefferson was put out of action by RNS-Meduse (Gun).
[04.11.2016 14:44:22] GMG|Keiji,Namura: I am afraid this is indeed the case. As a result, I must ask you to jettison your cargo, for retrieval and/or destruction.
[04.11.2016 14:44:34] GMG|Keiji,Namura: Very well. Discharging weapons.
[04.11.2016 14:45:43] Death: Goombay was put out of action by GMG|Keiji,Namura (Gun).
[04.11.2016 14:46:13] Death: kolbenBfarm was put out of action by GMG|Keiji,Namura (Gun).
The second incident began at the same location as the first, involving an Orbital Spa and Cruise transport also brimming with artifacts. This ship failed to stop when ordered, and it too fled to Honshu. The transport attempted to escape and was subsequently destroyed. Again, the salvaged cargo was moved to Iejima Station.
Pooling these artifacts with those confiscated on previous patrols has left a sizeable stock of cargo to be fenced on. It has been released to the station's commodity dealer, and Kishiro Technologies will be notified so their transports may legally conduct runs into Kusari space.
[04.11.2016 14:56:44] Tlodis.Lelos.Neolas.IX: Hello there!
[04.11.2016 14:56:44] GMG|Namura.Maru: Good day. Please hold for routine inspection.
[04.11.2016 14:57:14] GMG|Namura.Maru: OSC ship, you are smuggling in Guild space and failing to stop. Discharging weapons.
[04.11.2016 14:58:23] Death: Tlodis.Lelos.Neolas.IX was put out of action by GMG|Namura.Maru (Gun).
With the discovery of Catania Station in Omicron Beta, the reason for much of the suspicious traffic of the two previous has become clear. The latest incident came with the detection of a Planetform, Incorporated transport in Sigma-19, transporting a haul of nanomembrane filters. The captain of the ship claimed to be going to Omicron Beta, but refused to disclose their final location. This is violation of Guild law.
Despite this, the captain agreed to be convinced to sell the cargo on Iejima, where The Guild can put it to good use. The station has received 4,000 units of nanomembrane filters for a total of 7,000,000 credits. The Planetform ship then departed for the Honshu system with a hold of helium-3.
[04.11.2016 15:46:24] GMG|Keiji*Namura: Good day, pilot. Please hold for routine inspection.
[04.11.2016 15:46:35] PFI)Willen: Greetings.
[04.11.2016 15:47:08] GMG|Keiji*Namura: Thank you for your cooperation. Scans indicate you are hauling materials used in the construction and maintenance of space
[04.11.2016 15:47:10] GMG|Keiji*Namura: stations.
[04.11.2016 15:47:19] PFI)Willen: That is correct.
[04.11.2016 15:47:24] GMG|Keiji*Namura: Guild law dictates the destination of such cargo must be divulged on request.
[04.11.2016 15:47:27] GMG|Keiji*Namura: Where are you heading?
[04.11.2016 15:47:42] PFI)Willen: This is a private contract in Omicron space.
[04.11.2016 15:48:00] PFI)Willen: I'm not sure I'm in position to disclose the exact destination.
[04.11.2016 15:48:10] GMG|Keiji*Namura: I am afraid it is mandatory to do so.
[04.11.2016 15:49:06] PFI)Willen: The next waypoint is Omicron Beta jump hole.
[04.11.2016 15:49:41] PFI)Willen: It is the point where I leave GMG space.
[04.11.2016 15:49:44] GMG|Keiji*Namura: This does not tell me exactly where you are taking your cargo. Additionally, no cargo is permitted to reach Outcast space
[04.11.2016 15:49:47] GMG|Keiji*Namura: through the Sigma systems.
[04.11.2016 15:50:41] PFI)Willen: What if the destination point is not in Outcast space?
[04.11.2016 15:50:57] GMG|Keiji*Namura: Then I am sure there is no issue in sharing your destination.
[04.11.2016 15:52:10] GMG|Keiji*Namura: Perhaps there is another option.
[04.11.2016 15:52:29] PFI)Willen: Again, this is a private contract, I just can't disclose it by its terms. What I can do is reroute this delivery.
[04.11.2016 15:52:36] PFI)Willen: Please go ahead.
[04.11.2016 15:52:59] GMG|Keiji*Namura: Iejima Station here would find use in your xenobiotic filters. Should you wish to sell them here, you will be renumerated.
[04.11.2016 15:53:16] GMG|Keiji*Namura: I am afraid your cargo may otherwise not proceed to Omicron Beta.
[04.11.2016 15:53:44] PFI)Willen: This is interesting proposal.
[04.11.2016 15:54:09] PFI)Willen: You are talking Xenobiotic Filters, can you confirm?
[04.11.2016 15:55:07] GMG|Keiji*Namura: Ah, my mistake. I am referring to your nanomembrane filters.
[04.11.2016 15:55:30] PFI)Willen: OK, I'm rerouting to Iejima
[04.11.2016 15:56:16] PFI)Willen: By the way, if you need those on a more significant scale, we can arrange that.
[04.11.2016 15:56:36] GMG|Keiji*Namura: That may indeed be the case in the future. The Guild will bear Planetform in mind.
[04.11.2016 15:56:46] PFI)Willen: Absolutely.
[04.11.2016 15:57:09] PFI)Willen: Docking with the station.
[04.11.2016 15:57:14] 2016-11-04 15:57:12 SMT Traffic control alert: PFI)Willen has requested to dock

[04.11.2016 15:57:55] You have sent 5.000.000 credits to pfi)willen
[04.11.2016 15:58:08] PFI)Willen: I appreciate your business, sir.
[04.11.2016 15:58:15] GMG|Keiji,Namura: A pleasure. I shall escort you safely to the Honshy jumpgate.
[04.11.2016 15:58:27] PFI)Willen: I loaded Helium-3, hope you don't mind it.
[04.11.2016 15:58:29] GMG|Keiji,Namura: Please be aware of Guild law at all times, specifically that no cargo is permitted to enter Outcast space.
[04.11.2016 15:58:41] GMG|Keiji,Namura: You are most welcome to purchase helium-3 are your leisure.
[04.11.2016 15:59:01] PFI)Willen: Understood, I will reroute our deliveries to avoid Outcast space completely.
[04.11.2016 15:59:20] PFI)Willen: Setting Honshu gate destination.
[04.11.2016 15:59:45] GMG|Keiji,Namura: Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Please enjoy your flight.
[04.11.2016 15:59:54] PFI)Willen: Safe skies.
[04.11.2016 16:00:07] PFI)Willen: Hope to see you again Mr Namura
A freelancer was encountered in the Honshu system and sent greetings. Their attitude to the response was most poor, but of little importance.
The problem arose when it was again encountered, this time in Sigma-19 and in the possession of contraband. They protested against, but eventually complied with directives to transfer the offending cargo. The freelancer then departed to the Honshu system, nontheless amidst claims of filing a complaint with the Republic of Kusari.
Given the poor behaviour displayed by the pilot of this Anki freighter, their movements in Guild space should be monitored to ensure compliance with all local laws.
[08.11.2016 16:32:17] GMG|Keiji,Namura: Good day, freelancer. Please hold for routine inspection.
[08.11.2016 16:32:19] Azai.Niiyama: Konnichiwa again.
[08.11.2016 16:33:04] GMG|Keiji,Namura: Thank you for your cooperation. Might you be aware that you are in posession of an item deemed illegal in Guild space?
[08.11.2016 16:33:16] GMG|Keiji,Namura: Several, in fact.
[08.11.2016 16:33:25] Azai.Niiyama: No, not really. If that's a problem, I can leave with it into Kusari Space.
[08.11.2016 16:33:56] GMG|Keiji,Namura: I am afraid the organs and artifact you are carrying are not permitted in Guild space, and must be confiscated.
[08.11.2016 16:34:24] Azai.Niiyama: I'm afraid that would cost you a refund then, since I wasn't informed about medical items are illegal in GMG space.
[08.11.2016 16:34:48] GMG|Keiji,Namura: This will not be possible. Guild law should be studied before entering Guild space. Ignorance is not a valid pass.
[08.11.2016 16:34:56] GMG|Keiji,Namura: Please transfer the organs and artifact to my ship.
[08.11.2016 16:35:20] Azai.Niiyama: Your should watch your tone first, young man.
[08.11.2016 16:35:40] Azai.Niiyama: I'll push a special note with outrageous act of piracy.
[08.11.2016 16:35:49] GMG|Keiji,Namura: Failure to comply with Guild directives may result in ship destruction.
[08.11.2016 16:36:14] GMG|Keiji,Namura: Thank you for your cooperation. Please be sure to observe Guild law at all times.
[08.11.2016 16:36:21] GMG|Keiji,Namura: You may proceed at your leisure.
[08.11.2016 16:36:38] Azai.Niiyama: Outrageous, being robbed at the border.
[08.11.2016 16:36:49] GMG|Keiji,Namura: Please enjoy the rest of your flight.
[08.11.2016 16:37:10] Azai.Niiyama: If this is how GMG acts with scientists, no wonder GMG hadn't pushed their technology forward.
[08.11.2016 16:38:26] Azai.Niiyama: I'll make sure to push a direct note to the Kusari Republic's government. Your acts are lawless, regime like! Truly outrageous!
The Vereinigte Widerstandsarmee recently contacted The Guild to raise the alarm regarding a hostile ship in Sigma-59. Three Guild ships were scrambled to investigate.
Upon arrival, the ship was encountered, sporting a scrambled IFF, and instructed to cut its engines. Indisputably alien signatures were emanating from the Wraith, which was utilising a great deal of Nomad equipment. Its pilot insisted on defying Guild directives ordering it to stop. An Order cruiser, the VWA cruiser Ostara and a VWA Wraith were already on the scene.
Guildmember Hiroshi requested permission to engage the ship in single combat, which was granted. After he gained the upper hand in his duel, the hostile ship chose to self destruct, possibly to evade capture or salvage of its equipment.
[24.11.2016 22:56:28] GMG|Takeda.Hiroshi.: Sensei,identify yourself.
[24.11.2016 22:57:03] GMG|Takeda.Hiroshi.: Sensei,I will not say twice.
[24.11.2016 22:57:09] GMG|Takeda.Hiroshi.: Identify yourself.
[24.11.2016 22:57:10] Order|CV-Mefdet: ?: "Whom do you speak with?"
[24.11.2016 22:57:29] VWA|WGS-Ostara: Wolf, trail the infested. Do not act unless in defense or when given an order.
[24.11.2016 22:57:37] GMG|Keiji'Namura: Unknown ship, come to a stop.
[24.11.2016 22:57:52] Wilde.Untergang: What if i do?
[24.11.2016 22:57:59] Order|CV-Mefdet: ?: "I can guarentee that the Utergang is infected."
[24.11.2016 22:58:06] GMG|Takeda.Hiroshi.: Infected?
[24.11.2016 22:58:12] GMG|Takeda.Hiroshi.: As in,nomad infected?
[24.11.2016 22:58:22] VWA|WGS-Ostara: Nomad slave... to our understanding.
[24.11.2016 22:58:24] GMG|Takeda.Hiroshi.: Do you have proof for this?
[24.11.2016 22:58:32] Order|CV-Mefdet: ?: "That is correct, if you can get in range, take a cargo scan. It is clear as pie."
[24.11.2016 22:58:43] GMG|Keiji'Namura: Untergang, come to a stop. Failure to comply with Guild directives will result in ship destruction.
[24.11.2016 22:58:55] Order|CV-Mefdet: ?: "Will only require one of you to deal with it."
[24.11.2016 22:59:27] GMG|Keiji'Namura: Untergang, this is your final warning. Cut engines, or The Guild will be forced to open fire.
[24.11.2016 22:59:39] VWA|WGS-Ostara: According to Bundschuh data banks... Das Wilde as they are called in Rheinland. Use advanced Nomad-derivied technology.
[24.11.2016 22:59:42] GMG|Keiji'Namura: Very well. Discharging weapons.
[24.11.2016 22:59:48] GMG|Takeda.Hiroshi.: Fine sensei
[24.11.2016 22:59:51] GMG|Takeda.Hiroshi.: Engaging.
[24.11.2016 23:00:03] GMG|Takeda.Hiroshi.: Oh...
[24.11.2016 23:00:05] VWA|WGS-Ostara: In whole infested, remnants of 800 A.S. Rheinland's fleet.
[24.11.2016 23:00:06] GMG|Captain.Ginyu: Destroy it !
[24.11.2016 23:00:17] GMG|Takeda.Hiroshi.: I will take care of him sensei.
[24.11.2016 23:00:24] GMG|Keiji'Namura: Very well. Open fire.
[24.11.2016 23:00:52] GMG|Captain.Ginyu: If you need any help. Just say so. The Antimatter Cannon is locked and loaded.
[24.11.2016 23:01:29] VWA|WGS-Ostara: Ostara actual to Mefdet command. I believe you have this... technoogy to keep them decloaked. I plead you to keep it ready.
[24.11.2016 23:01:51] Order|CV-Mefdet: ?: "That is correct, our device is always on stand by."
[24.11.2016 23:06:46] Death: Wilde.Untergang suffered a self-administered loadout error (Mine).
[24.11.2016 23:06:54] VWA|WGS-Ostara: Target has been nullified.
[24.11.2016 23:06:56] VWA|Sarah.Wolf: "Huh..."
[24.11.2016 23:07:04] Order|CV-Mefdet: ?: "Infected neutralized. Good job miners."
[24.11.2016 23:07:06] VWA|WGS-Ostara: That was swift intervention, Guildsmen.
[24.11.2016 23:07:24] GMG|Takeda.Hiroshi.: Huh,target destroyed I guess.
[24.11.2016 23:07:45] GMG|Keiji^Namura: Your assistance on this matter is appreciated.
The Order and VWA ships then claimed to be heading to the Omicrons. Guild ships assumed a flanking position to escort them to their destination. Part of the discussion on the way revolved around The Order's use of revolutionary cloak disruption technology. The group proceeded through Sigma-59 and eventually reached the Omicron Zeta jump hole. Given The Guild's lack of knowledge of the system, our escort duty provided the opportunity to learn more of the local terrain. Upon emergence from the jump hole, the party entered a nearby nebula, eventually reaching another jumphole. Interestingly, there was an alien presence in close proximity.
The second jumphole deposited our ships in another nebula in the Omicron Mu system, where a trail of navigation buoys marked the path to an Order station. Security was high, with the presence of a battleship and several weapons platforms. With the escort complete and vital data gathered, Guild ships returned to the Sigmas.
[24.11.2016 23:07:56] GMG|Takeda.Hiroshi.: I will go and make repairs.
[24.11.2016 23:08:16] GMG|Takeda.Hiroshi.: Sayonara.
[24.11.2016 23:08:17] VWA|WGS-Ostara: The ship in question was tracking our movements for some time now. The nearby Order assets were dispatched to pin it.
[24.11.2016 23:08:32] 2016-11-24 23:08:28 SMT Traffic control alert: GMG|Takeda.Hiroshi. has requested to dock
[24.11.2016 23:08:39] VWA|WGS-Ostara: I dont know much but it appears some Order vessels are equipped with some kind of anti-cloaking technology...
[24.11.2016 23:08:43] VWA|WGS-Ostara: Mefdet would propably know more.
[24.11.2016 23:08:58] Order|CV-Mefdet: ?: "Our sensors and radars where picking up an detectable reading."
[24.11.2016 23:09:18] Order|CV-Mefdet: ?: "We could only have one guess as to why our scanners were not picking anything up."
[24.11.2016 23:09:47] Order|CV-Mefdet: ?: "Our crew activated our EMP Emittery Array to find what you have just neutralized."
[24.11.2016 23:10:12] GMG|Keiji^Namura: You disabled this ship's cloak?
[24.11.2016 23:10:37] Order|CV-Mefdet: ?: "You could say that, yes."
[24.11.2016 23:10:50] GMG|Keiji^Namura: That is most impressive. The Guild has not seen such technology in use.
[24.11.2016 23:11:10] GMG|Keiji^Namura: Order captain, I must inform you that you are in fact in violation of Guild law, specifically commanding a capital
[24.11.2016 23:11:16] GMG|Keiji^Namura: vessel in Guild space without prior authorisation.
[24.11.2016 23:11:25] GMG|Keiji^Namura: However, given the circumstances, I am sure we can overlook this technicality.
[24.11.2016 23:11:35] GMG|Keiji^Namura: Do you require repairs?
[24.11.2016 23:11:59] Order|CV-Mefdet: ?: "We do apologize for that, we do need to get ourselves up to date with you're laws."
[24.11.2016 23:12:29] Order|CV-Mefdet: ?: "We are not in need of any repairs at this time, but thank you for this offer."
[24.11.2016 23:12:35] GMG|Keiji^Namura: The main thing is that the threat was successfully neutralised. Very well.
[24.11.2016 23:13:19] VWA|WGS-Ostara: It contained rather significant power source in its cargohold.
[24.11.2016 23:13:26] VWA|WGS-Ostara: Have any of you detected anything of such magnitude?
[24.11.2016 23:13:45] GMG|Keiji^Namura: Yes. The Guild is in possession of such a device and is holding it securely in preparation to hand it to The Order.
[24.11.2016 23:14:31] GMG|Keiji^Namura: It was retrieved following a battle with Outcast forces in Sigma-13, in which the Widerstandarmee assisted.
[24.11.2016 23:14:35] VWA|WGS-Ostara: Speaking of the wolf, there's one right here. Primary Fleet.
[24.11.2016 23:14:57] Order|CV-Mefdet: ?: "Did we just hear that right, the guild is in possession of such device?"
[24.11.2016 23:15:26] GMG|Keiji^Namura: Yes. It is to be handed to The Order for containment and study.
[24.11.2016 23:15:36] GMG|Keiji^Namura: I shall remind Grand Admiral Golanski shortly.
[24.11.2016 23:15:36] Death: unknown. was put out of action by shadowkika (Gun).
[24.11.2016 23:16:31] Order|CV-Mefdet: ?: "Actually, I would like you to hand it over to us, we have a containment facility onboard which will keep the power~
[24.11.2016 23:16:49] Order|CV-Mefdet: contained."
[24.11.2016 23:17:04] GMG|Keiji^Namura: I am afraid that will not be possible at this moment. The device is held in magnetic containment, and preparations must be made
[24.11.2016 23:17:16] GMG|Keiji^Namura: for it to be handled safely. An impromptu transfer could be dangerous.
[24.11.2016 23:17:35] Order|CV-Mefdet: ?: "You think we do not know this? My crew is more than capable of dealing with such device."
[24.11.2016 23:18:05] VWA|WGS-Ostara: I guess it's something to be done for another day, Mefdet command.
[24.11.2016 23:18:21] GMG|Keiji^Namura: Of course. I am referring to the danger it poses to the Guild personnel maintaining it.
[24.11.2016 23:18:27] VWA|WGS-Ostara: We have our own objective to achieve. Are you ready to guide us into the Edge nebula?
[24.11.2016 23:18:30] Order|CV-Mefdet: ?: "Seems that way, aslong as it is in a containment facility."
[24.11.2016 23:19:24] Order|CV-Mefdet: ?: "Our sensors, radars and scanners are all active, we will lead you through the edge nebula."
[24.11.2016 23:19:40] GMG|Keiji^Namura: Please allow us to assist.
[24.11.2016 23:19:59] VWA|WGS-Ostara: Very well. You are cleared to move into escort position of Ostara.
[24.11.2016 23:20:00] Order|CV-Mefdet: ?: "I do not see a problem with you're assistance."
[24.11.2016 23:20:11] VWA|WGS-Ostara: Kommendant Michael Wolf, Vereinigte Widerstandsarmee, by the way.
[24.11.2016 23:20:21] GMG|Keiji^Namura: Guildmaster Keiji Namura.
[24.11.2016 23:20:32] VWA|WGS-Ostara: Honor to meet you.
[24.11.2016 23:20:43] GMG|Keiji^Namura: The privelege is mine.
[24.11.2016 23:21:22] VWA|WGS-Ostara: According to maps shared to us by The Order, a passage leading directly to their worlds is located in this system.
[24.11.2016 23:21:41] GMG|Keiji^Namura: The Guild surveyed a jumphole leading to the Omicron Zeta system some time back.
[24.11.2016 23:21:43] Order|CV-Mefdet: ?: "That is indeed correct."
[24.11.2016 23:22:05] Order|CV-Mefdet: ?: "This nebula has a low visibility and scanners are all over the place."
[24.11.2016 23:22:21] VWA|WGS-Ostara: Experiencing interference right now. Boosting comm relay.
[24.11.2016 23:22:22] GMG|Keiji^Namura: Indeed. We located it mostly through luck.
[24.11.2016 23:22:33] Order|CV-Mefdet: ?: "Boosting comm relay."
[24.11.2016 23:23:18] VWA|WGS-Ostara: We are detecting jumphole in question. Standing by.
[24.11.2016 23:23:56] Order|CV-Mefdet: ?: "This is the location."
[24.11.2016 23:24:16] VWA|WGS-Ostara: Very well, preparing for a jump.
[24.11.2016 23:24:20] VWA|Sarah.Wolf: "Want me to scout ahead?"
[24.11.2016 23:24:29] VWA|WGS-Ostara: Affirmative, go ahead.
[24.11.2016 23:24:34] Order|CV-Mefdet: ?: "This anomoly is unstable, so just be careful."
[24.11.2016 23:24:35] VWA|Sarah.Wolf: "Jumping"
[24.11.2016 23:24:43] GMG|Keiji^Namura: My colleague confirms the exit point to be clear.
[24.11.2016 23:24:45] Order|CV-Mefdet: ?: "We are preparing jump sequences, after you Ostara."
[24.11.2016 23:24:49] GMG|Keiji^Namura: I shall cover the rear.
[24.11.2016 23:24:57] VWA|WGS-Ostara: Engaging jumpdrive.
[24.11.2016 23:25:24] Order|CV-Mefdet: ?: "Jump sequence complete."
[24.11.2016 23:25:33] Order|CV-Mefdet: ?: "The jump was successful."
[24.11.2016 23:26:05] VWA|WGS-Ostara: The Omicrons... now I can see them with my own eyes.
[24.11.2016 23:26:25] GMG|Captain.Ginyu: Ugly as hell. I like the blue of the Sigmas.
[24.11.2016 23:26:32] VWA|Sarah.Wolf: "Exactly as I pictured it."
[24.11.2016 23:26:48] Order|CV-Mefdet: ?: "Ugly, dangerous, so keep you're eyes pealed, scanners online and weapons and all defense systems on standby."
[24.11.2016 23:26:53] VWA|Sarah.Wolf: "Mysterious, spooky, and it looks like im about to get ambushed any second now."
[24.11.2016 23:27:08] VWA|WGS-Ostara: Awaiting green light to commence jump.
[24.11.2016 23:27:14] GMG|Captain.Ginyu: I have my trusty Belle here with me. Nothing will go wrong.
[24.11.2016 23:27:23] VWA|Sarah.Wolf: "Do I go ahead again?"
[24.11.2016 23:27:26] Order|CV-Mefdet: ?: "This anomoly is again unstable, I advice initation of jump sequences, one at a time."
[24.11.2016 23:27:29] VWA|WGS-Ostara: Proceed.
[24.11.2016 23:27:46] VWA|WGS-Ostara: See you on the other side.
[24.11.2016 23:28:21] VWA|Sarah.Wolf: "And eliminated."
[24.11.2016 23:28:28] VWA|WGS-Ostara: Now, this is not exactly the type of green I expected.
[24.11.2016 23:29:06] Order|CV-Mefdet: ?: "We are out of the nebula now."
[24.11.2016 23:29:12] GMG|Captain.Ginyu: Blue jellies around.
[24.11.2016 23:29:14] VWA|WGS-Ostara: Buoys mark the path. This is quite a sight.
[24.11.2016 23:29:35] Order|CV-Mefdet: ?: "The view is spectacular, but it is also very dangerous."
[24.11.2016 23:29:54] VWA|Sarah.Wolf: "So this is the Order's home?"
[24.11.2016 23:30:11] Order|CV-Mefdet: ?: "You could say that, yes."
[24.11.2016 23:30:47] VWA|Sarah.Wolf: "Amazing."
[24.11.2016 23:30:54] VWA|Sarah.Wolf: "I like the view." She chuckles.
[24.11.2016 23:30:57] VWA|WGS-Ostara: Omicron Mu, allied space according to the charts.
[24.11.2016 23:31:35] Order|CV-Mefdet: ?: "I would just advice you to stay away from the eastern region, there is a rather huge mine field."
[24.11.2016 23:31:42] VWA|WGS-Ostara: Mefdet, according to our instructions. We were to report to a drydock for an upgrade. Do you copy?
[24.11.2016 23:32:05] GMG|Keiji^Namura: I am pleased we have all arrived safely. Might The Guild be of further assistance?
[24.11.2016 23:32:06] Order|CV-Mefdet: ?: "That is correct, the drydock should be ready and awaiting for you're arrival."
[24.11.2016 23:32:30] VWA|WGS-Ostara: We are bount to spend some time in here until we are good to go.
[24.11.2016 23:32:49] VWA|WGS-Ostara: Your assistance in reducing that infested threat was incalculable, Guildsmen.
[24.11.2016 23:33:23] GMG|Keiji^Namura: A pleasure. We shall return to Guild space.
[24.11.2016 23:33:28] GMG|Keiji^Namura: Please enjoy the rest of your day.
[24.11.2016 23:33:37] Order|CV-Mefdet: ?: "You're assistance is not required from us, but we thank you for the help within the Sigmas."
[24.11.2016 23:33:39] VWA|WGS-Ostara: Godspeed to you.
[24.11.2016 23:33:52] Order|CV-Mefdet: ?: "We wish you a safe journey home."
[24.11.2016 23:34:06] 2016-11-24 23:34:02 SMT Traffic control alert: Order|CV-Mefdet has requested to dock
The final encounter involved a Unioner ship in Sigma-17. Being an aggressive band of terrorists who would love nothing more than the restoration of Imperial Rheinland and the grudges it would hold, it would be prudent to immediately ban this organisation from Guild space. The pilot of this ship, equipped with a cloaking device, refused to cooperate with any directives issued, and was subsequently engaged, before self destructing in the atmosphere of Planet Kurile.
[24.11.2016 23:39:59] GMG|Keiji^Namura: Good day, pilot. This is an odd location to idle. Please explain your presence.
[24.11.2016 23:40:19] UN|Lucifuge: ?: "Such is the nature of the Linden - its bowers are wide, its flowers are fruitful."
[24.11.2016 23:40:39] GMG|Keiji^Namura: I am afraid that does not shed any light on your intentions.
[24.11.2016 23:40:55] UN|Lucifuge: ?: "Oh, but it does."
[24.11.2016 23:41:27] UN|Lucifuge: ? "Does it not prove the tenacity of the people, when all around them, the world conspires to drown them in its insipidty?"
[24.11.2016 23:41:35] GMG|Keiji^Namura: Please be advised that ships detected idling in Guild space without valid explanation are suspected of committing piracy.
[24.11.2016 23:41:46] GMG|Keiji^Namura: These ships will be escorted out of Guild space.
[24.11.2016 23:42:12] UN|Lucifuge: Illlusion: Hm. Please ask yourself how a vessel without armourment can commit piracy?
[24.11.2016 23:42:30] GMG|Captain.Ginyu: You could provide intel to other ships or pirates.
[24.11.2016 23:42:38] UN|Lucifuge: Illusion1: ...That would contravene reason...
[24.11.2016 23:42:46] UN|Lucifuge: Illusion2: ...yes, indeed it would....
[24.11.2016 23:42:52] GMG|Keiji^Namura: Armament is not taken into account. Guild law dictates idling without explanation as suspicious.
[24.11.2016 23:43:02] UN|Lucifuge: Illusion3: ...A manifold of probabillities and one, this is not.
[24.11.2016 23:43:52] UN|Lucifuge: "Purposes have been served."
[24.11.2016 23:44:18] GMG|Keiji^Namura: Unioner ship, you are to return to Rheinland space.
[24.11.2016 23:44:29] GMG|Keiji^Namura: We shall escort you safely to the Frankfurt system.
[24.11.2016 23:44:41] GMG|Keiji^Namura: Please do not attempt to activate your cloaking device at any time.
[24.11.2016 23:44:44] UN|Lucifuge: Illusion 4: "Rheinland, Rheinland... What is Rheinland?"
[24.11.2016 23:44:53] GMG|Keiji^Namura: The Frankfurt system.
[24.11.2016 23:45:05] UN|Lucifuge: Illusion 5: For instance, the consistent raising and lowering of my shield array.
[24.11.2016 23:45:38] UN|Lucifuge: Illusion ?: "We have made no exertion to charge the veils. Think."
[24.11.2016 23:45:47] GMG|Keiji^Namura: Please engage your cruise engines. Our destination is the Sigma-17 jumpgate.
[24.11.2016 23:45:52] UN|Lucifuge: Illusion??: "What you percieve is nto what is nessearily true."
[24.11.2016 23:46:11] UN|Lucifuge: Illusion: ?!?!?: "Such is, and such as always been."
[24.11.2016 23:46:28] UN|Lucifuge: <scrambled>
[24.11.2016 23:46:30] GMG|Keiji^Namura: Failure to comply with Guild directives will result in ship destruction.
[24.11.2016 23:47:10] UN|Lucifuge: <Message pod broadcast. Shields lowered.>
[24.11.2016 23:47:19] GMG|Captain.Ginyu: Can we take him in now ?
[24.11.2016 23:47:25] UN|Lucifuge: <Unit set to graveyard trajectory.>
[24.11.2016 23:47:34] GMG|Keiji^Namura: Very well. Discharging weapons.
[24.11.2016 23:47:39] GMG|Keiji^Namura: Guidlmember, please assist.
[24.11.2016 23:47:40] UN|Lucifuge: Illusion: ????!?: "Goodbye."
[24.11.2016 23:47:41] GMG|Captain.Ginyu: Aye aye Guildmaster.
[24.11.2016 23:48:54] UN|Lucifuge: <re-entry complete. Unit signing off.>
[24.11.2016 23:49:21] Death: UN|Lucifuge was put out of action by GMG|Captain.Ginyu (Gun).
The day's events have made several things clear:
The alien menace must be addressed directly in order to ensure the security of Guild space.
Were the VWA and Order cruisers in Sigma-59 in fact hostile ships, the Guild assets available would have only just been sufficient in neutralising the threat they posed, especially considering it would have involved combat in open space. It is clear that Guild doctrine must be updated in order to deal with the modern landscape in the Sigma systems and the new challenges it presents. A new chapter in GMG history will be opened: the development of original heavy assets.
The use of revolutionary anti-cloak technology witnessed in the Order's possession must be evaluated for potential introduction to the GMG paramilitary.
The violent movement calling themselves the Unioners must be kept clear of Guild space,
The navigational data acquired will be invaluable in cataloguing the changes to the Sigma systems caused by the last ion storm, and exploratory efforts must be stepped up immediately.
Iejima Station is again under threat from the Corsairs. A heavy fighter was detected near the station, which had its shields raised. This was likely a scout testing the security of the area, and was quickly despatched.
[29.11.2016 23:29:16] Luciano,Vasquez[TBH]: Hola senor
[29.11.2016 23:29:24] GMG|Keiji''Namura: Good day. Please come to a stop.
[29.11.2016 23:29:31] Luciano,Vasquez[TBH]: Stop what?
[29.11.2016 23:29:38] GMG|Keiji''Namura: Your ship.
[29.11.2016 23:29:58] Luciano,Vasquez[TBH]: And now what senor?
[29.11.2016 23:30:18] GMG|Keiji''Namura: Corsairs are regarded as enemies by the Guild and prohibited from entering Guild space.
[29.11.2016 23:30:24] Luciano,Vasquez[TBH]: Is that so?
[29.11.2016 23:30:30] GMG|Keiji''Namura: Standard procedure for Corsair ships encountered in the Sigma systems is ship destruction.
[29.11.2016 23:30:35] GMG|Keiji''Namura: Discharging weapons.
[29.11.2016 23:30:38] Luciano,Vasquez[TBH]: Thats a shame
[29.11.2016 23:31:02] Death: Luciano,Vasquez[TBH] was put out of action by GMG|Keiji''Namura (Mine).
[29.11.2016 23:31:18] [Yann]Miner_1: thanks a lot

*sarcastic tone*
SIGNAL LOST
Guildmember Ravis is tasked with formulating a final reply to the communication and is authorised to post it.
The crew of Iejima is on alert and has all the resources required to withstand an attack from hostile capital vessels. However, it is clear that its defences must be expanded. Guild engineers will be tasked with the construction and activation of spaceborne weapons platforms to provide coverage to Guild assets in the vicinity of the station.
In addition, this is further proof that GMG is in need of larger warships to complement its snubcraft and gunboats in order to ensure the security of the Sigma systems. Several options are under consideration.
