Okay, lads. I had a talk with sime Gaians about the Dublin situation.
For those who are not aware of what this is about, here comes a brief summary:
The Gaians had placed a bounty on ships carrying ore - all kinds of ships, all kinds of ore in all Bretonia. Bounty was high enough to be claimed by many. Consequently our mining operations would have been endangered, too. It was mostly aimed at BMM but we were in the crosshairs of the mercs and freelancers too.
I know some of the Gaians in Dublin pretty well, we had a very serious talk. The next day the bountyboard was down due to "maintainance". I have been told, the bounty won't be renewed. So we are safe on that count.
I was also informed in a talk today that the Gaians are only targetting BMM, not IMG. I was assured that the Gaian movement of the group "Nature's Last Hope" wants to cooperate with us to some extent and tries to avoid all hostilities actively.
I told them that they can use Hood, but stealthily and not make a fuss and cause us trouble. They can harras as long as they want, but we can't be connected to their acts. They were informead about the consequences if they violated the edict and they understood and agreed.
So now to what we could do to profit from the situation:
Please treat the NLH Gaians with civil respect, they harm BMM in a most direct way that we can't and won't use. We share an enemy, rival... keep it as you want.
Remain politically correct if BAF listens in. Because Gaians and also the group NLH are wanted criminals in Bretonia. So they can't dock at Hood if BAF is near. They must be told to stay away when chased, etc. You know the edict and its effect.
Suport their anti-BMM operations with knowledge on BMM operations and assets in the fields, so they can do damage to our direct rival.
Okay... so, this is it. If you have questions on the Gaian issue, fell free to contact me.

(Report introduction)
''aboard the hood Ian Desari record a report on his small office near the bridge. On his very tiny and basic desk made of an archaic leed material called wood. That wood must be as old as the hood, it was probably a piece of hardware refurbished with the wreak decades ago. It reminded Ian that the independent mining guild always use to reuse as much as they could and making wonder from what super corporation consider ''scrap''.
Mr. Desari looked on his right harm, there was the unhuman sign on it. The proof he was still... still under the ''ones'' semi control. Not that he wanted to understand it, he knew that their simple presence could make him uncontrolable. Jack henderson, one of his guild partner within the dublin sector, know his secret. He did not died, as the other Ian planned.... but Jack do seem to have forgoten, or perhaps his ejection in chertsey knoked his brain a litle bit.
On another hand there was also Malfina Korzic, he had some close relation with her. The day Jack's vessel exploded... a day his human psychology was not present. The only things he remembered in the incident was that he saved malfina, and helped her... and that cloud then nothing.... After that Ian was waking in his office ( yea it also serve as bedroom, go figure why I know that desk so much when I sleep on it). Notheless jack know more about it. Malfina... ... Malfina but where is she? Some of my guild mate think ian is crazy, that the guild member is puting his comarades in great danger.. BUT (quick silence), HE really don't undertand. Ian however wish but how can he know, or undertand something he is not aware off. It is beyond himself. But at the same time, its ''the other himself''.
[color=#33CC00]''initiating recording''
Greeting dear guild members. I am very pleased with the latest event in our latest effort within bretonia. I must say that these are critical time for our organisation. As you probably already know the bretonian, at least their official Sirian army, as made some kind of deal with no one else then the evil Maltan.
Talking about the maltan, the other day in my typical fighter craft, I have met one of them who appear to be a hight ranked in their hiearchy. ''A Chenzo'' , from something called the 101's ...
Since my day in the taus are far behind me, I still have to say this one is not a stranger to me. We entered in contact not far from the hood, and he said that 101's were looking for an agreement in dublin. He also precised that if we could come to an agreement, that it would not include the tau region where we have the most trouble with the maltan.
Knowing the maltan are incredibly evil and dangerous, I was natureally highly suspectful, but mostly surprised. Surprised to see such a civil behavior where their nation fail to show any kind of ''polite form''. Of course we also got our long background of hostilities with them, for many many reasons.
I think that the maltan try to cure our wound, and improving our descreasing realtion witht he BAF. But I'd rather think they are pooring salt water on fresh scar. It is well intended by them, I understand that but the thing is the real ''wound'' is located in the taus. And In bretonia the damages are much lighter. Still their presence here still cause pain, and endanger our operation Greatly no matter their real intention.
That I will look forward on that matter on the next standart space cycles.
Speaking of pirate activities in our operations. I must say that it is ralatively stable. The mining conditions are not excelent but are suficient to raise funds. Multiple organisation helped in the defense of the sector namely the BAF, The EDGE , the reavers, and most importantly us..
Ennemy loss are rather limited, but no negligeable. Mainly a outcast gunship class vessel named ''MAXIMUS'' was terminated by an immense cooperation forces. He has been known to be a viscious pirate since several cycles in dublin. Also several pirate bombers were pushed away from the mining platform efficiently.
We worked quite a lot with CONVOY, Gateway and Bowex corporation as primary hauling units. Of course we excluded Bretoina mining and material from the operation. I must say our recent good relation with mollies and gaians have allowed us to use a field almost unused, rich and banned for BMM. I am very satisfied about this advancement. I must thank director Sander for his efforts.
Before i close this recording, I must remind you all that it is by slowly improving our relation with third parties that stronger and bigger organisation, and even houses will reconsider their actions involving IMG at the peril of their repuation and security....
As for me, I hope Ill find a way to undertand my... anomaly.
Also jack, next time I initiate a combat simulation, Ill let you know prior to your feedback ont he filed. (smile)
I haven't talked about everything i wish to, we live in a world with standart time afterall. isn't it? I will keep you inform on other matters eventually.

Okay, IMG pilots, I want you to see this:
This is a talk that was recorded between a BMM miner and his Zoner excort after two IMG Hegemons were destroyed just 2 k off their position. I am pretty sure that he himself or the Zoner lapdog had called the strike because the BMM and the escort didn't even move one inch during the chaotic attack of two unregistered Corsair bombers. At no point it was clear that only the 2 IMG Hegemons were the target. And they were even better defended than the BMM. Yet, the BMM didn't move but started cheering and applauding seconds after the fight started. He must have known that he wouldn't be harmed.
Well thanks For the information henderson. Le'ts hope the best for the two mining platforms crew. DO you got any relevant information on their status beside equipement loss? Such information are requested at the moment by their respective family and friends.
BMM... yea its no wonder they are trying to do unwise and hostile action against us. After all we are among their greatest competitor. And compeition, BMM do not tolerate that been a megacorporation without much social thought.
The BMM vessel involved, and the corsair vessel are now on my prime targets on my hostile ship file. We should also enter in contact with tthat zoner vessel. Its behavior is among the oddest I have seen since counntless space cycle. Jack precised that the zoner gunship and mining platform enjoyed our man to ''suffer''. In this theory we tend to say that those corsair bombing units were blatantly called by BMM themselves.
Remember, anything that endanger Any of our guild members will be severely punished up to the use of direct lethat force without further judgement.

LOCATION: Maxiplar, Java Station
SUBJECT: Battlecruiser Commissioning
Greetings .
*Something looking like Duncan's voice behind, parasiting captain Lecalve voice*
Gentlemen, We just finished the test of the new Argus temporarly named "Maxiplar",
The vessel passed all test with success.
We now only wait for your approval to commission the ship.
Name : IMG|Jade
Second good new,
Our repair ship is finally ready too.
It will be an excellent answer to ennemy's initiative and will avoid us a disadvantage during fights,
The second function of this ship will be to lower down ennemy pirate threat, 4000 botts and batts making an Hegemon almost undestroyable.
TO: IMG vessles in Taus and Orkey
FROM: Bonnie Schuster
LOCATION: Sea of Silence, somewhere in Tau 23
SUBJECT: Order activity
Greetings my dear fellows.
*You hear a warm kittenish female voice*
Some Order vessels seem to support our forces lately in the upper systems.
At the first look this seems to be good, but at the second look, there are problems implied.
The Guild Lead seams to be still discussing that topic.
Until they have decided, be advised and mind the following.
Up to now, we have had no real problems with the nomads.
It is my experience, and the experience of many others, that these creatures do not attack those that do not attack or harm them.
The order on the other hand, will very likely try to involve YOU and with you US into their bloodshed with the Nomads. But with the Outcasts on our thought and divers Gallian corporations luring for our gainings we CANNOT afford another enemy, like the Nomads.
Originally i wanted to say, that you shall not help the order attack the nomads, but given the fact, that the Order has been hunting the nomads for a long time now, mere common sense tells me that these creatures will most likely attack the order vessels.
Therefore, until the Directors have decided,
DO NOT support order vessles against Nomad vessles, and
DO NOT harm nomad vessles unless they attack IMG or our closest allies FIRST.
Safe flights and kisses to all of you.
*You hear the sound of a kiss as the connection closes*
First let me reply to mr. Lecalve.
You have set up some new equipment, thats a good advancement, I hope so for the good of the guild.
I have to say I am quite Impressed the division granted you in command of one of those very limited vessel.
As for the repair system you build, well we still got to test the device under simulation. The place where such a test would occur is most likely going to be the tau 39 restricted space around the rechearch facilities there.
You see, I have one key question to you captain, how will you use these two vessels and devices involved? If you were to endanger crews and been guilty of great equipment loss I would be quite suspicious. I do want to trust you.
------------------
Boonie Schuster, thank you for your valuable concern. In fact I am quite... unsure about how bad the order presence could go on my case. As I have said before I have an anomaly within me relating to the ''ones'' or if you prefer to nomad. Mr. henderson, and Mr. Sander could explain you further as I do really want this matter to be kept secret. So on behalf of my security, I must ask all guilg member to keep a low profile on my unknown status.
On my part, i will have to be extremely careful, and hope I figure out my anomaly before ''They'' know. Therefore I aproove your statement about the order unit relations.

Okay, this will be hard to understand. I'll try to make it all clear so you get the complete picture:
Dublin is going to burn, prepare for it. We had some anti BMM operations in our mind and the plans were sped up after yesterdays BMM incident in which a BMM miner had two of our boys killed by Corsair bombers. There is no real proof that would be of any use in a trial but the IMG Defence Wing pilots involved are sure. I am sure, 100 %.
Everything, all our secret efforts to harm BMM, would have stayed covert, NLH would have targetted BMM, some other groups would have focussed on hurting BMM to pay back what they did, but something else happened.
IMG Defence Wing pilot Melfina Korzic reappeared. Background: I saw her die by the hands of IMG Defence Pilot Ian Desari in Chester something like 2 weeks ago. I can swear there was no pod ejection and no one could have survived that secondary explosion. Before Ian attacked and destroyed her, Melfina had shot my Nyx which died some minutes after her own destruction. I survived, luckily, after 7 days in the pod.
Okay, back to the present: Melfina came in and started attacking random BMM assets, or perhaps not random: She was focussing fire on the miner who had caused yesterday's deaths. She is crazy, mad with hate against BMM. She is also a spy for the Kusari. She admitted it openly, before she tried to silence me in Chester two weeks ago.
After the attack, the whole of Dublin engaged Melfina. Mollys took her side. I wanted to take her into custody, because so many of my questions remain unanswered. So I used my good connections to the BAF and we tried to force her to land on Hood. She denied. She was clever enough to shake the attackers and I was the only one to follow her out of the system.
She was evading and heading for Holman, then suddenly turned hard, entered the lane and burnt the lane with a brillant maneuver to shake me just seconds before I could dock into the lane after her. My Nyx suffered only minor structural damage but the chase was over.
She said before, she would hand in her IMG license and papers and whatever she would do, she can't be a part of IMG any more. I believe in what she says. She has broken with IMG and she has forced us down a dangerous path. I guess this was her mission, perhaps a Kusari mission to weaken Bretonia, perhaps really an idealistic but insane approach to the BMM-IMG problem. I really can't say.
I tried to follow her, but she is a well-trained Kusari secret agent who has been undercover inside the IMG and she was - if true - as close to the IMG leadership as a person can be. So, sorry. I apologize but a rather new Defence pilot can't bring her in. She would have shot me again and I'm not dying for her.
Consequences:
Melfina's attack aimed at the miner who had our 2 Hegemons killed yesterday, made all present forces (BAF, BMM) think that we are in a shooting war with BMM now. I denied but I guess they won't swallow it.
The BMM will react hostile, so be advised to be extremely cautious in the fields. They started it, all people who were present when some of our boys burnt inside the Hegemons think it was a called strike against us. I have made up my mind: If attacked, they will bleed. I won't attack openly, though, to avoid BAF reactions.
I will explain the actions to BAF. This is important to reduce the danger of them acting against IMG. This will be hard to do but it is possible, I guess. With Melfina being the one who committed the crimes openly, we can just declare her a criminal and avoid the full brunt of pro-BMM forces.
And a suggestion: We either pull out and admit defeat and that we had to do something with it, or we stay. I chose for staying. I've invested a lot in these IMG Dublin operations and even though it will be tough now, I can see us coming out if it as the winner.
We only need the speed the LNH talks up, so that they can do the dirty part of the work. And perhaps we can also use the Reavers that are loyal to us and unscrupulous enough to shed blood for us. We can keep our hands tidy, so there is no proof against IMG.
At the same time, we improve our mining cooperation with the Mollys, we might strengthen further while BMM is being pounded. Mollys will side with us in this conflict, so Arranmore field could be still used, but I advise heavy escorts because everything can happen now.
I'm reporting from Holman, I'll be returning to Dublin to turn myself in at the Essex for questioning. You will hear from me if this is done. If it works the way I think, I'll be freed in a matter of hours or a few days at most.
We were taken down that road by Melfina. I can't turn around and run now. Rest assured that everything I do is done for the good of the Guild. I know what I'm doing. If you can trust me, I'll prove you that you did the right thing.
Jack Henderson, IMG Defence Wing, Dublin, Hood.
