WE've had Mascius shifting a few supplies to Liberty's finest down in Bering there,
he had to detoured to SJ with a few loose loads and seen there's about a good
quarter of Hardware that Ortega brought in while back, a nice lucky find,
we'll trade a little off to Bering with returns for Alloys, it'll help upkeep while we're on.

Ahoy Congress, Decaf here, with an FYI of some importance
A base attack message against the LSF base in PR (Dagger Complex) was
transmitted from an unknown source( possibly Unioner connected?).
This will increase the LSF/LN and their allies presence in PR and surrounding Systems.
Suggest using extreme caution.
It also might be wise to stock JunkersTown with extra repair supplies, the LSF have shown they
can not be trusted many times.

Howdy there, Congressfolk! I'm hopin' this message finds ya'll well.

I'd like to make a case of sorts to ya'll, based on current events taking place in both Bering and Bretonia.

Recently, the Congress received a communication from the Alster Union in the form of a claim. This claim has them figurin' that they own exclusive rights 'ta the Military-grade Salvage left over from the war between Rheinland and Liberty.

Now, I ain't normally much've one 'ta go causin' trouble amongst piratical sorts. I'm usually A-OK with makin' contributions 'ta yer odd-ball pirate tryin' to make a livin' amongst the lanes.

But I feel that this situation is different. Trafalgar lies in shambles, an' Gallia is 'ta blame. This gives us a strong reason 'ta stick it 'ta the Gallic war machine by supplying the Bretonians with some Military Salvage from Bering.

We owe it 'ta Trafalgar 'ta give Gallia some grief, an' we've a second motivation, too - By shipping Military Salvage to Bretonia, not only will we be coming off as helpful to their war efforts, but Liberty ought'a be pleased, as well. Y'see, it probably won't be long until Liberty gets interested in moving some assets into Bering and retrieving some've that salvage, an' I'll bet my bottom credit that Liberty's gonna claim that the Military Salvage in Bering is theirs - Which, it technically halfway is, bein' that half'a the salvage's probably Liberty hardware, anyways. So, instead've riskin' ourselves bein' caught in illegal salvage operations, why not take some initiative and let Liberty know "Hey, we got this for 'ya."

By taking a stance against the Alster Union, we stand to gain Bretonia's and Liberty's favor. This in turn'll likely get Liberty an' even Deep Space Engineerin' on our side too, possibly even the Bretonian Merchant Navy! I'll admit that Battlegroup Harmony might be a minor issue, but they're pro-Liberty at heart, and as long as we make it clear to everyone that we want to haul that Salvage from Bering to Bretonia, that means we're taking an anti-Gallic stance, which in my mind is a win-win all 'round!

In short, my vote is to tell the Alster Union that WE are the salvage experts, not them. This'll likely get them to target our salvage boats, but we ain't no strangers to a scrap. In case there's doubt, we'cn partner up with DSE to further drive the point home that we're gonna be gettin' things done, whether the Union likes it or not.

I spoke with Nick Ramsey about this, and he gave me permission 'ta share our conversation regarding the recent turn of events. Take a look!

Spoiler

If we take a stance against the Union, I'm fully prepared 'ta reach out 'ta Deep Space Engineerin' an' Bretonia's Merchant Navy 'ta see if they'll help us in both the salvage an' haulin' of the hardware in Bering. Gallia is causin' a mess fer Junker, Bretonia an' Liberty alike. It's time we cause a mess fer them, and dang any second-rate Union scrappers that think'r gonna get in the way've that.

What say ya'll?

Do we play along with the Alster Union an' let 'em take our money - Our dignity?

Or, do we show Sirius that us Junkers are the ones to go to when it comes to hazardous salvage?

Thank ya'll fer ya'll's time.

Members of the Congress;

One of my bomber crews called an... interesting occurrence to my attention that I believe merits discussion. An excerpt of which I will relay now:

<<Exerpt>>

Elements of the Maltese Navy referring to themselves as D.I.E. have been mooring with Rochester Base on a consistent basis; partly to use the station's shielding as cover during periods when their sweeping raids through New York draw too much attention, and partly to avail themselves to Rochester's stores when their supplies run low. They have been doing this heedless of law enforcement presence.

At 2220 hours my pilot, with my approval, attempted to stop the flotilla from repeating this when pursued by a Liberty Navy bomber wing. His repeated hails were acknowledged and disregarded.

The continued abuse of the station's neutral-access docks, maintained for distressed and disabled craft brought by tugs, was witnessed by both the Liberty Naval response and a roving Xeno bomber craft attracted by the scuffle.

He, with my approval, opened fire on the Dreadnaughts in defense of Rochester.

Unfortunately, in spite of an unlikely attack from three fronts - 5th Squadron, The Xeno Alliance and my heavy bomber picket - the three capitals again nestled into moor points that would threaten our living quarters if directly assaulted.

I will not go into detail about how such actions threaten the future of Rochester, the beating heart of the Junker ethos and the linchpin of our entire operation. Particularly not after the horrors we all witnessed in New London.

Members of the Congress;

The operation in Minor progresses. This is the first yield of a subtle effort, an effort that few of us believed would bear harvest. Yet it is fragile and must be tended.

I am reminded of years past. Yanagi Depot stood astride the graves of the Crow Nebula. Amid our task, we walked a razor's edge. People of Malta and Crete, Hessians. Chrysanthemums. It was a harbor used by all, and thus protected by all. It stood in spite of its position as a harbor to enemies from all corners of Sirius. It simply was more valuable intact. More convenient as a point of neutrality, than a prize to be pulled at by hungry dogs. Even the prior leadership of the GMG saw use in its continued existence.

The Wild themselves were turned aside by the machine we had set in motion.

A generation has passed. Again we are called upon, as those who can draw renewal from cataclysm. To fuel the fires of new war from the ashes of old war. Again we must cultivate the balance of power lest power sweep us aside.

And power here is great.

Already we receive threats. Our council must decide soon on a response to the... diplomatic missive from the Core.

Again I remember Yanagi. My agent sends this:

Hello. Rell here.
First off, keep this stuff to yourselves, Junkers.
We'll want to be quick about this.
You know how I am working on that little project there? Yeah. I wanted to take a quick break. While I was flyng through Bering, my scanners went berserk. Took me a moment to regain control, but I managed. I found a new jump hole.
It is unstable, difficult to traverse. I wouldn't bet on anything bigger than a freighter getting through.
But it leads someplace new.
Or should I say, someplace old? Very, very old.

It is a system, not too many light years from Bering itself.
It contains two planets. One is a full gas giant, another one is a mere remnant, also of a gas giant. Seems like they collided and one came out the victor while the other has been dying for who knows how many hundred years.
According to the coalition vessel, yes, coalition vessel, that I met in there, it is also connected to Galileo through a similarly flimsy jump connection.

And it contains a wreck.
An old wreck. According to the black box, it looks to be an old Rheinlandic prototype vessel from the year 96 AS, sporting a Liberty engine.
Imagine if we could get that thing out of there and present it to Rheinland as a present. Or keep it for ourself. Who knows.
I don't think that this place will stay open for long. After all, the connections have opened only recently. And the house of Rheinland seemed to know about this spot at some time in the past, even if that was hundreds of years ago.
So we gotta hurry. Are there any people here who would be able to help me refurbish that thing, install a jump drive and get it over to Puerto Rico, where we can repair it properly?
I'll add files below.

Ahoy mates!

I was scally-wagging around Frankfurt looking for a supplier of Aluminium Ore. Have a BIG contract with a known group in Edinburgh - (wink, wink, say no more).

Came across a person who owns a store there, and he "might" be open to selling it. Gonna get it for a steal! Good nick, core two, heaps of storage, and above all no radiation damage!

So, I was thinkin' of buying it and relocating it close to our Junker lads in New Berlin. Diversifying our portfolio is a good thing... and lots to be made!

What do ya all think? Worth a gamble?

Now I'm as distrustful of the law as any of us.. maybe more so, but the creds were good and I can't see harm in letting this Jiraki fella tag along on a few scrap runs. Maybe he's an agent hoping to do a bit o' spying at our expense, or maybe he's trying to leave a job what they don't let people leave from. Heck, maybe he's got on the bad side of a gambling debt or really does just want to take up the junker life. No matter, we'll be keeping a tight leash and a close eye on him while he's aboard my ship. I'll be mining Premium Scrap in New York and taking it out to the Freeport in Theta, then bringing Scrap back from Tarancon out in Minor back to Beaumont. Nothing more. Nothing less. A couple runs of this and I'll have fulfilled the deal with Agent Sickle.. all above board and legal like.

If he does end up trying anything foolish I expect he'll end up floating out in the 'Crons. Scrappin's dangerous work... accidents happen.
