My dear Johnathan Sanders, why do you think that you can talk to me the way you are talking? Is it the way how boss should treat their staff? Is it the way how IMG Commanders gain their reputation? Is it the way you want it to be?
Who do YOU think you are? Do you want me to talk about you just like about some regular Kruger?
So only one for you - think HOW do you talk. No matter what about: first - thinking, then - talking. Have you got some strange reports? You can easily track things down, not just looking at some kruger-called 'proofs' but doing some kind of investigation. Right, darling?
Why do you think, that you can call those, whos actions are nearly unexplained to you, an idiots? Why do you think that even after man explained to you his reasons, you can call him a 'a foolish or stupid person'? Why do you think that it is good to act as a Kruger, while being an IMG?
Do you know who are Krugers? Cowardly mining cowards. Do you know how do you act? Well, after considering no investigation, fast cliche, and again no investigation and cliche... Well, you act as a Kruger, especially if we look from such point of view, that currently there was nobody who would even explain some things.
Treaties-agreements-treeties all those things are so far away from ordinary miner that you might not believe it. Why you think that one who does some REAL work would know all those things which one who does PAPER work knows?
A miner does as miner knows - I knew about treaty I looked through, I saw that there were some borders and 'how-to-act' things, and I really did not cared if it was signed by DHC or someone else. It was signed, so it had some points. And I care even less if it was broken. All I care - systems that are in IMG ZoIs.
You say that you transmit from Omega-7? Well then you better get outside the base and watch how things are, young boy. When did you saw last IMG| ship there? When did you saw some other IMG there? You didn't even saw our crew there. And do you know why? You just do not care of it.
I don't know if you are corrupted or something else. I just see, that you clearly do not care of IMG ZoIs. And we DO care. And we WILL care. So, young man, you better take control over it or leave this control to us and do not even think to bother.
So as I said. You either leave us alone or take care of O7. And think of what you talk. Sometimes it is better to be on your men's side, than rush upon them just as Kruger.
Now to you, Kruger lads.
What is it? You smelled some hot stuff and rush for it? Do you really think that I care of your warnings? Things are as they were. Nothing is changed. So it will be your ships given only one warning. Or demand. Doesn't matter. How do all of you become brave, when there is someone on your side. You should be proud of it.
And now to our new speaker, Basil Angelos. Why did you even thought to break in this problem? Do you think it has something to do with you? I bet no. Did you open your mouth because someone did mention treaty? Well, it isn't about you anyway, so it isn't your business. It is between me, my crew, IMG Command and krugers. No treaties are on this list.
So, Ladies and Gentlemen, I really hope that you did understood it from one try, but I will repeat anyway.
The one who does PAPER work knows laws and treaties and all that stuff much better than one who does REAL work. And if you think that ordinary miner cares of you paperwork - you are terribly wrong. I know what I can do. I know what I shouldn't do. And if I forgot something - I always have my ID to look through. So bugger off with those bureaucracy.
And when it comes to bureaucracy - you better do YOUR job. Such things happen, when people have no law about it. So you better be prepared with laws and agreements before saying 'Report the offending folks to the Reichsmarin'.
Mr Sanders, take your important person to Krugers or wherever you should and do your job - find ways to bring things to law. Right now it is about frontier justice, not law-one. And try not to give O7 to them as you are doing it right damn now. So do your work, stop looking for someone to blame. It is always you to blame.
So, once again, my precious audience, instead of whining you could do YOUR job from your-paper-LAW-side. Stop hunting down workers. It won't be good for anybody. Do your work. Stop acting like Krugers. And while you are inactive - we will take care of O7 by all means. And it is not about Kruger. It is about our deposits and ZoIs.
It should be noted that while we were moving additional forces to this region our Zephyr class carrier was attacked by daumanns just 30 minutes after it enterted the system for no reason at all. Obviously, both daumann ships were vaporized, yet it should be noted that if one more incident like this happens all Daumann vessels will be considered hostile and will be shot on sight.

I probably should have encrypted this channel, this was really meant just for IMG command and Kruger command to discuss their relations. However, you being present to plead your own case is only fair, and only goes to show our case. We want everyone to see that Kruger has nothing to hide, we aren't trying to take anything, we aren't trying to kick IMG out of Omega 7. Kruger does not claim Omega 7 as theirs, or claim anything in the system, except for Eblich station and the ships that we own. All we are currently doing is trying to protect our own. And as you can see, Kruger and IMG| relations aren't suffering at all, we have no problem with their ships in Omega 7.
But I think I have given an insignificant waste of matter such as yourself enough of my time. Kruger is not asking for anything other than the ability to mine our minerals in peace. And as I can see, you will not allow that. So no more warnings, if you are seen in Omega 7 wou will be destroyed. Lucius.Brutus, Stanley.Tweedle and Stankhanov's.Pride, Kruger is officially announcing if your ships are spotted in Omega 7, you will be considered a threat and your ship will be eliminated. You are no longer welcome in Omega 7. And this also goes to any more ships that decide to join your cause. We are taking a hard line now. Other IMG miners are welcome to mine in Omega 7 as long as they respect Kruger. All we ask is that first come rules apply, as well as keeping a distance of 1500k at the minimum, that is what we consider respect, nothing more.
As to your denial of the Rheinland Military being law in Omega 7, and your claims to be reinforcing Omega 7 with capital class ships, we have no choice but to forward this to the military and ask that they deal with this. As a citizen of the vaterland, this concerns me greatly. This is a threat to the sovereignty of Rheinland. I'd like to see you act as bold as you do in front of Kruger, in front of our dear Rheinland Military.
Now, I must get back to work, Kruger is ever busy.
Listen closely, junkers of Rheinland. You obviously don't love your Vaterland enough to use capital letters, and that's probably also the reason you're cowardly asking it's military to go into independent Omega-7 and waste another fleet Sigma-13 style. Speaking of independent system Omega-7, did you miss the I in IMG, eh? This Omega-7 will stay I, like it or not. In case you don't like it, you have three options. First, call in the military while they're busy on the Liberty front, make them suffer because of you. Second, jump at us yourself and get blown to pieces. Third, stop whining and work. You are ever busy, eh? Then start filling our holds if you want to fill your holds afterwards, this is how civilized people do business in our fields unless they're IMG. Got it?

Subject: Frontline justice?
I'll keep this brief and to the point. You state this is about frontline justice and that I as a diplomat should do my job. I will do just that. You and your merry band of warmongers can consider yourselves renegades. You are NOT part of the Guild, you do NOT speak for the Guild, all you've done so far is cause the Guild problems. You can count your blessings the Reichsmarin hasn't taken note yet, as far as I'm aware.
If you want to be an outlaw, a fringeworld raider - you'll get your wish. But not under the Guild's banner. Continue to soil the Guild's name and I'll add a bounty on your head to boot. I'm doing my best to try and avoid further conflicts so that all guild members can traverse Rheinland peacefully, unhindered. Do I need to remind you of the problems that will occur if Rheinland decides to close it's borders to IMG? Do I need to remind you of the last time a House closed it's bases to us? Kusari, not a few months back, after a misunderstanding over docking rights? You have no damned clue as to how politics work.
Sanders out.

Kruger has appreciated your support throughout this ordeal very much, but things are getting out of hand. Drastic actions need be taken, and IMG| needs to take a stronger stance. These rebels are openly rebelling against common policy and practice of the IMG, claiming to be against your organization, and then docking on your stations. It seems to Kruger that you have lost control of your members.
Kruger is fast approaching temporarily banning all IMG ships from our mining fields. We do not want to go down this road, but Kruger is being left no choice. We only have so much patience. We will give the IMG| one more chance to stand up and take responsibility for your guild. We know they don't belong to your specific part of the guild, but when dealing with the IMG, it seems your the authority.
I fear that soon these rebels will be putting the IMG's invitation to Rheinland space in jeopardy. We will use all our influence that we have to make sure IMG is not allowed to use loopholes to attack Rheinland corporations. We await a prompt response.
The IMG has removed the docking rights of all those who have had evidence proving their wrong doing provided, and several more in addition to. We are strongly concerned with the stability of the omegas, and are taking corrective action when members of the guild, regardless of chapter, get out of hand.
