Subject: Re: Hogosha/Colorado Junk Prospects
Well, ah heard 'bout that Hogosha incedent. If ya'll want, ah got me family and friends up in Kusari, ah could see if they'd wanna help on this matter? Anyhoo, ah'll wait on yer' guys' word on that.
Also, there was a Rhinelander invadin' New York earlier t'day. Had a miiiighty hankerin' for this one LPI gal... can't blame 'im, she sounded like a once in a lifetime find, ah'll tell you what... but, then this Rhinelander attacks manhattan, blew up the LPI woman and like 3 LN guys, 'fore he went down. But ah got some scrap off o' it, so ah still declare it a win.
Speakin' o' scrap, ah've been lookin' into the Silverton field up in Colorado... yep, Zeener central. The way ah see it, there's lots o' old Scrap and old mining machinery we can make a fortune off of, an' stick it to the Zeeners at the same time.
Infact, earlier ah went through an' got some images o' some of the better pickin's in the field. Couldn't bring any in, 'cause it was way too big for mah little CSV t' carry. We'll need some salvagers an' heavy lifters t' haul off some o' this.
As ya'll can see, ah'm sure if we was to pilfer some o' this stuff, we could make a bundle sellin' it. 'Course, we'd have ta' deal with the Zeeners while we were at it, so we may have ta' do it after happy hour, when they's so dang drunk they couldn't see us.
Ah think it'd be worth it if we rounded up some salvagers an' freighters ta go through the silverton field an' take a closer look at this stuff...

"Not sure if the congress cares much, but the Xenos were crawlin all over our turf tonight. I seemed to have the only Junker ship available to fight, so I teamed up with an LPI pilot to go after them. Ended up going against four Xenos... three in Crow HF's, and the last in an Eagle. I managed to take out two of them before my ship started to lose atmo and had to retreat."

Re: Classified Information
Bonjour Arbiter Vladimir,
I am a junker currently stationed at Bourg-en-Bresse port. I have lived within Gallia systems all my life and regularly explore the less traveled paths. Recently while searching ship wrecks I found a data cube with classified information. Even though I have contacts in many factions within Gallia I do not trust them enough to deliver such cargo. I have always been true to the junker way of life and felt our nation should have first choice concerning information.
Would you or the congress be interested in obtaining this data cube? Upon appointment I could present the cargo.

Congressmen;
It has been entirely too long since we have enacted a session of Congress, and I invite all of you to participate in this first of many to come. Matters of grave importance have arisen, and we must act as a unified front.
For those who have yet to discover this, the Kusari Naval Forces have fallen under complete sway of the Hogosha. They are brazenly attacking Junkers in Kusari, in the Taus, and in Leeds. They have identified us as enemy combatants with no due cause or process, choosing hatred of that which is not their own over the providence we could provide.
We must progress in turn. I am going to offer courses of action to be followed.
Course 1: Stay the course
- We continue occasional, covert forays into Kusari to support the Golden Chrysanthemums, the Blood Dragons and the Consortium. Military force is to be kept to convoy support only.
Course 2: Retaliation
- Jackal Wing is activated. Kusari national war assets are engaged as enemy combatants. Aid is offered to the Bretonian Privateers. Congress vessels are kept out of active combat for political reasons.
Course 3: Withdrawal
- To preserve tenuous relations with the GMG and protect Yanagi Depot, we draw all Junker support from Kusari.
All three options have these common factors:
- War materiel support continues to be offered to Bretonia.
- Yanagi Depot is now under direct threat, not only from the Wild but from Kusari itself.
- GMG relations, which were fortified during the great strife of Sigma-13, are at risk of eroding and must be restrengthened.

lemme say something
The simple fact that the KNF is shooting us on sight is enough for Course 2 (Jackal wing) to be activated. As stated in Course 1, we really could use the help now. We're just not strong enough to fight a House.
Now, Course 3...
Yes, it is better to defend our own assets than to spread our forces.

I say we sit on it. This whole thing just got spun in to fool's territory for us. There's no money or sense in acting affronted or scrabbling to protect our 'pride'. You wont catch me with a Chimmy on my tail, that's just damn stupid.
But this confirms that when money talks, all people gotta listen. No price too high. Bretonia's boys are doing what we'd be doing, but in army ships. If maybe we help them out some behind the scenes, our job can get done for us. We should keep an ear to the ground in Bretonia and let them know what we about. I don't wanna see any of the young'ns becoming damn hot heads and bringing heat on all of us, because that hurts our whole operation.

Greetings Congressmen,
The situation has of late has indeed gone out of controll. The courses of action suggested by Chief Arbiter Bishop are a good start, but I have a few ideas I would like to add:
Firstly , as a show of good faith , and to begin strenghtening said diplomatic ties with the GMG, we should contact their Guildmaster with the intent of supplying them with whatever they are in need of.
Secondly, and in regard to the Bretonian Government , I would suggest we start carrying more shipbuilding and war materials for them, and take guncam evidence of said events. Perhaps even help with the transfer of refugees ?
Thirdly, and this time about the Jackal Wing. The idea seemed to be preety much a rough draft untill now. We should get it operational as soon as possible.
COMM ID: .:j:.McMillan LOCATION: Trafalgar base, New London AREA OF EXPERTISE: Director Of Bretonia, Bretonia.
With the KNF openly attacking Junkers, well thats just all out war aint it? While Trafalgar Base has the cover of being deep in Bretonian Territory. Yanagi does not have this luxury, but saying that would the KNF even bother to divert forces from thier front line to engage us? I cant imagine they see us as much of a threat. If anything this hostility is just to please thier puppet-masters.
Regardless, I still think we should be supporting Bretonia in any way we can, including with military force. The more ground that the BAF looses, the less space we have to move.
To this end I'll vote on Course 2: Retaliation.
McMillan Out
