Dear Sir or Madam,

The Guildmastery has received evidence that the Independent Miners Guild ship "Mineforever" was first threatened, then destroyed by an Auxesia vessel, named Corbeau, in Omicron Delta.

The Guildmastery strongly condems this attack against the IMG and cannot accept that an ally commits what appear to be acts of piracy and unprovoked violence against our assets and personnel.

This is why the Guild demands an explanation of the incident within 72 hours. In case such an explanation is not given, or is found lacking in content, the Guild reserves to take appropriate actions. The Guild hopes that there is a different angle to this incident, and the Guildmastery is anxious to receive your version of the events.

Yours sincerely,

Stephen Schwerdtfeger
IMG Guildmaster

MESSAGE

Guildmaster Schwerdtfeger,

This is a situation I highly anticipated would occur, so allow me to clarify the reasoning behind what you may have seen as an act of aggression.

The situation occurred in Omicron Delta, far beyond the reach of the Guild's claim and territory. The vessel in question was located within a dangerous Nomadic structure which generates a highly volatile compound known as Azurite Gas - one we're very familiar with. The gas itself is known to cause severe episodes of psychosis that could lead to self-harm, and attract unsavory entities such as The Core, who seek to control the substance and market it, or even The Nomads, who produce it. It's within our society's policy to ensure that dangerous materials and technologies are not mishandled or misused.

Recorded logs

Your pilot was rather persistent on retaining his control of the material and mining it in a rather dangerous environment. I would assume by now the Guild would be fully aware of the dangers this gas possesses and not risk independently seeking to obtain some. It's within our duty to ensure such dangerous materials are not distributed to the public without the appropriate handling methods, which it was painfully obvious were not being considered by a lone Arrastra knee deep in Nomad territory. I highly advise you have said pilot checked over for potentially being compromised.

Whilst I have the utmost faith in the Guild's abilities, sending a single vessel unguarded into such a location is rather irresponsible. I imagine the pilot acted on its own accord which would explain why it was so far away from the Taus, and I admit ours could've handled the social aspect of the incident a lot better, but their intent was to secure the Gas and cease a dangerous attempt at obtaining it.

So perhaps you'd also like to explain what the Guild's sudden interest in Azurite is, and why they'd send a sole miner to obtain it? Moreover, who exactly was this pilot mining for?

Leviathan,

Let me clarify a few important points:

First, you state that the actions may be seen as an act of agression, however the Guild insists that it is an actual and indisputable act of aggression.

Second, you mention - and I quote - that you "highly anticipated" an incident like this. Referring to this, the Guild requests an answer to the question as to why you - as an ally of the Guild - have not taken steps to inform the Guild of your activities in the region that led to the destruction of a Guild asset by the means of an attack against our personnel.

Third, the Guild disputes your non-existant claim that you are responsible for protecting a resource from being accessed, especially without laying a claim to it and informing the public about it. The Guild requests to know inhowfar posession of the material is not permitted for the Independent Miners Guild, but - as implied by the Auxesia pilot - is permitted for Auxesia.

Fourth, you call the miner's action of entering the area "irresponsible", which the Guild will not comment on at this stage, however we put into question the "responsibility" of a pilot of yours to attack a ship belonging an ally in a way that makes the attack look like a criminal or an act of war. The Guild requests information as to why the vessel's commander could not be informed about the situation and escorted from the premises, which would have been a much more responsible and adequate solution to the dispute. The Guild considers the way that the pilot stated that he would get the mined resources himself as unnecessarily aggressive and threatening.

Fifth, the Guild considers the behaviour of your pilot as completely unacceptable. It does not conform with conversation patterns normally employed between allies, but strikingly reminds the Guild of standard criminal, or thuggish trigger-happy behaviour.

Sixth, the Guild has no reason nor desire to discuss operations with your organisation at this moment, given recent events. Just realise that history has proven that the Guild thrives by its unbreakable Frontier Spirit and that there are no limits as to where the Guild aspires to go.

Yours sincerely,

Stephen Schwerdtfeger
IMG Guildmaster

A/)- The Inner Phalanx · 03-28-2017, 09:13 AM,

Esteemed Guildmasters,

An internal investigation was conducted following the transcripts and conduct of operative “Corbeau” and the scenario which resulted in the assault of an Independent Miners Guild vessel. This investigation has provided a clear image of what transpired in Omicron Delta, and we have chosen to issue a statement.

First, The Inner Phalanx and Auxesia wishes to apologize for the actions of one of our agents due to a lack of social expertise that resulted in the assault. The operative in question is not well-versed in socialization with external parties, and their misconduct will not be tolerated. A punishment has been issued and the remainder of the scenario will be dealt with accordingly.

This however was not unwarranted, as your pilot refused to cooperate in releasing the dangerous material - Azurite - from their cargo. Operative Corbeau acted within the lines of protocol when dangerous materials risk being misused or causing mass disarray that could’ve potentially harmed the Guild’s integrity should the gas be transported to any location publicly. The pilot in question that was attacked had refused to cooperate with the operative present. This resulted in protocol being followed and the vessel carrying the material to be destroyed. While the Operative could’ve managed the scenario better given our relationship, your pilot could’ve also complied to their demand to drop the element in question.

Two wrongs do not make a right.

Azurite in its gaseous state is an extremely dangerous material in the hands of anyone. There is no ‘claim’ on it and there certainly will not be, as such a dangerous material should never be marketed. It is a risk that no one should pursue for the sake of profit. Not The Core. Not us. Not you. It’s far too dangerous to fall into everyday society like some sort of luxury good. Azurite remains a new element deserving of study and observation rather than exploitation. Additionally, the resource itself is located within alien-occupied territory and is very difficult to obtain. Your pilot was alone, risking death and potential infestation or compromisation by entering a radioactive, Nomad-controlled area with no escort or any kind of preliminary investigation. We have studied the material in its two known states - A6 and gaseous. While capable of astonishing feats, it remains a material capable of causing violent psychosis episodes, even with rebreathers and appropriate safety equipment. As such, certain containment methods are required when even attempting to harvest the gas, let alone transport it anywhere.

These methods have been developed and rigorously exercised by Zeta Section to further investigate and study the new element and push the boundaries of its properties. The Inner Phalanx is more than willing to discuss joint studies in regards to the element, but wish to advise the Guild to not pursue it alone. Many seek to get their hands on this material, some of which are more inclined to attack Guild vessels than a single operative enacting protocol poorly.

Even though your spirit to push the boundaries of the frontier are known sector-wide, there are some things best left untouched when tampering with scenarios relating to this topic. I have no doubt the Guild on its own is capable of reaching the edges of the Sector, but some fields - Azurite and the Nomads in particular - are our area of expertise. It is certainly not wise to tamper with the machinations of another species. It is also rather difficult to assess a scenario involving The Guild when there is very little contact in regards to planned operations on the frontiers in which we specialize.

To conclude this incident, The Inner Phalanx proposes the following:

- The Inner Phalanx will provide the guild with the necessary funds to repair damages done to the Mining vessel. (25,000,000)

- The Inner Phalanx requests no mining operation or attempts to retrieve the substance known as “Azurite Gas” occur without supervision and security provided by Auxesia.

Should the Guild accept, then we may move forward once more and continue to build a relationship that will undoubtedly be beneficial for both parties.

With solidarity,

Keeper Leviathan & The Inner Phalanx

Keeper Leviathan,

After careful assessment of the situation and questioning of the witnesses, the Guild is willing to accept the proposed settlement conditions.

In addition, the Guild requests to learn more about Auxesia's rules of engagement in the Omicrons, something you referred to as going by the "protocol". Knowing our partners' rules of engagement is necessary to inform our members, so that incidents like this one can be avoided in the future.

I'll end this message by informing you that the Guild currently does not have an interest in the Omicrons, as far as resource exploration and exploitation is concerned, however we would not rule out any of such operations in the future. However, your proposal to coordinate our forces and cooperate in such a dangerous environment is reasonable and you will be informed if such operations became more than just a hypothetical scenario for the Guild.

On a personal note, I am glad we have managed to solve this regrettable incident and I share the hope of a renewed beneficial cooeration you expressed in your proposal.

Yours sincerely,

Stephen Schwerdtfeger
IMG Guildmaster
