*Sigh* My name is John.S Bartlett sir. Also he seems to be in some sort of event going on hosted by the local pirate group, something about killing the most Civilian traders or something sir, i'm gonna try to intervine as much as i can. I don't know how many i will be able to save but i will try to save as many as i can sir, while doing my current objective. If things get any worse in the Tau's or in the Omega's, Send me a message sir, and the second i get it i will return or go to my next Destination. John Bartlett Out.

Greetings folks, this is my first report so I'll get right to it. I patrolled the Omega 7 system, mostly in the trade lanes, basing out of the Freidesit station. Things were quiet, except for the usual Corsair Rookies (OOC: NPCs) going around shooting up the trade lanes. I did come across something interesting though. While I was doing a flyby of the Stuttgart jumpgate I saw a transport transmitting a Kishiro IFF, sadly I was unable to get his ID, as he jumped through the gate.

But I did manage to catch a glimpse of him and scanned his cargo hold, it was full of copper ore.

Mr Barlett thank you the evidence. Indeed these pilots are not allowed to use IMG technology. Talking about that, it seems we don't have any records of approved technology requests from you Mr Bartlett as well. Take a look at this photo. I am expecting a reply soon.

No, it's not working...try another frequency...*static*...Oh well, that didn't help. A woman can be heard saying something.It's already running? You could've told me earlier! Hmph, guess this has to do...

Eh, greetings there. Looks like the video streaming on this ship is kinda ... not working. Well, anyway, that
won't keep us from doing our job. He mumbles something about prefering text messages...
Anyway, I just wanted to inform you that I, Niclas Andrews, have taken over command of the Amethyst, as the
former captain of that ship left. Dunno where he went, I heard something about him focussing on OC and the
Gallics though. Guess he prefers his job as a pilot for the Colonials.
This ship is a Hydra-class gunboat, equiped with six Zoner gunboat turrets, which were bought from the OSI as
it seems and a CAU VI. Main reason why I'm contacting you is, I wanted to get this approved or eh...wanted to
ask for permission to keep my comfy command seat on this ship or however you want to call it.
At the moment I have my ships stationed at Freistadt or Aland, but I'm not planning on spending my entire
time around here. The Amethyst will most certainly move around much.
Well, alright, this ship still isn't in best condition, especially after fighting off those 'sairs at Freistadt just a
few days ago. But I guess Nikolai can fix that... That reminds me: The crew. Besides me we got Alesja
Liney, the lovely lady you heard before, she'll be second in command. Liam Taylor, who navigates us even
through the thickest asteroid fields, Sara Mino, she isn't around at the moment, but she'll be responsible for
radar and communcations and of course our lead engineer who I mentioned before, Nikolai Marx.
Doctor Sonya Zukunft will take care of all the medical cases which might occur.
Mh,...Those are the most important persons on the ship. So, if you got any questions, eh,
you know how to reach me. See you, an' good bye.

So where's that off-switch?Someone walks towards the voice input and a female voice can be heard:Just hit the
button again, it'll turn it off... What's so difficult about that?Eh, I did that and it didn't w...

Mr Barlett, you didn't know that you should be a Guild member in order to use IMG technology? There are two ways to resolve the issue. You can either return all the stolen IMG tech or you can use IMG transmitter and identification to your ships. In other words, to become a Guild member.
Your request is being granted Mr Andrews. Put the zoner technology in a good use.

The contract for the Storage Ship "The Almighty One" has not been renewed. The control of the Barge-class vessel has been returned to the owner and it has already been removed from Omega 7. No further financial dealing are necessary.

Strange day, today. First, I am woken up by an emergency call to Tau 37 and we fought some Outcast there. Then I went back, and more Outcasts came. And when I went back again to Tau 23, more Outcasts came. And every time I wanted to go back, Outcasts came again. *she chuckles and shakes her head in amusement*
As their Warship Fleet decided to retreat to Alpha, the Outcast had to rely on Gunboats, that were exactly what my Roc bomber can eat best. And it was hungry. So lots of gunboats were scrapped, and I got the infamous "Lick a brick". Oh, and there was a cheeky repair ship callsign "Deckard Cain" that got my antimatter torpedo right up the tailpipe. *she shrugs and grins*
Good day, today. Hope to see more of these.

More fighting in Tau 23 and Tau 37. We attacked Renegades, Hogosha and Outcast, more or less successfully until they attacked Tau 23 in force. But that's not the important part of what happened.
I met [color=#FFCCCC]Her Highness, Aurelia DeFrance in space, she was commanding a wing of GRN fighting ships that assisted IMG efforts to get rid of Outcast and Hogosha forces in Tau 37. We kept clear of the GRN forces that were focussing on Renegades first, the Hogosha, and were also attacking the Outcast that came in during the fight against the Hogosha.
[color=#FFCCCC]The complete transscript of the talk can be downloaded here:
Her Highness, Aurelia DeFrance, talked to me later at Java and it was kind of frightening to be the voice of moderation, when lots of voices in my IMG comms group called for attacks and murder attempts. It was bad, really. We must somehow convince the people, IMG| and IMG, that it's no use dying in this war if we can survive.
This is a short version of the information I could get:
they chose the Renegades as targets because they use Gallic gunboats
they generally hunt pirates in what they see as their part of space, and their authority to keep it safe
they generally regard Hogosha as enemies
they generally regard Outcast as enemies
they offered ICMG the same deal as IMG if they cease hostility
they warned IMG to not cooperate with the Colonials and thus violently resist the Gallic invasion
I tried to be polite and defuse conflicts, mostly on our group comms, later also openly, when a full-grown Outcast warfleet jumped in. IMG defended, but GRN withdrew and we docked, with rather heavy losses. We also inflicted losses on them in T37, and GRN did some more damage, but in the end we lost this battle.
I am still trembling a bit, to be honest. That was scary with the Princess commanding the GRN forces, a battleship sitting near Java, everything red, as our scanners are not yet adapted to the GRN not being hostile.
I did as well as I could. I hope it was good enough.
