Now, we made terms not to attack another targets of oportunity, outside your board, within the Taus.
We worked it out with EDGE, and everyone can say we work together against the 'casts in T-23 and T-37.
So all fine and dandy, collecting sniffer heads.
However, a problem. *Punches the table*
A big frickin' problem occurred as i decided to hunt within T-23 tonight.
I got attacked by Colonials. In Tau-23.
Before you go all 'Waaaait a minute' on me, i was hunting a couple of XTF's.
Found them and the said Colonial and some Dragons. Guess what, seemed they were having a 'party'.
As one of the 'casts was without a date, i proposed to start dancing and the next minute i notice,
i'm being shot at by the 'casts and by the frickin' Colonial.
Even the bloody Dragons were stunned by this.

[13.06.2011 01:23:35] Silver.Reaver!: Fine by me.
Now, we can't do our jobs if the locals are shooting at us for shooting 'Casts.
This creates a problem. And right at this minute, it's a big problem.
That just landed in your hands.
You see..
Being shot by Bounty Hunters, it's expected.
Being shot by Outcasts, it's expected.
Being shot by Corsairs, it's expected.
Being shot by Colonials while i'm bloody shooting at 'Casts it's not expected.
It's just makes us jumpy. And i don't mean the skittish way.
I mean the way we will go hunting Colonials and what not in the Taus.
Because.. That Colonial there? Just costed me a Five Mio bounty.
Two XTF's ripe for the taking.
Probably could have smoke'd one of the Dragons.
But, noooo. I get shot at, see a Colonial helping Outcasts, and loose the money.
That's not good business.
And i begin to wonder who's gonna cough up the doe for the loss in business.
So.. Yeah. We need to talk about the future, Koster.
Toodles, Silver.
[8:32:45 PM] Dusty Lens: Oh no, let me get that. Hello? Oh it's my grandma. She says to be roleplay.
[12:12:00] Traxit: this is smut stop
My name is Guild Takeshi Ogawa, your transmission has been redirected to me since it's not Mr Koster's authority to reply in diplomatic messages. I hope my reply finds you in a good health.
Firstly I would like to state my dissapointment, that one of our closest allies and a group working for us, have such bad relations.
From a small research I have made, I found out that you have attacked Colonials in the past, probably by a bounty contract. If that's true, then this is probably the reason why Colonial forces still attack you.
The Independent Miners Guild despite it's close ties with the Colonial Republic, it neither has the authority nor the power to impose it's willing to the Colonial Republic. However, I can act as a middle-man and negotiate a ceasefire between your company and the Republic, if you believe that's the appropriate way to handle this situation. I would like to hear your thoughs on this matter. Sayonara.
Ah a new one.
Well, love, get your facts straight.
*Lights up a cigar*
It was once.
And both the Reaver and the Colonial lost their ships in that.
It was more of a personal event than a bloody world colliding disaster.
That business was closed, buried, and burned with prepo-gasoline.
T'is dead.
And we even worked for the 'Lonials after that. Ask to check their boards.
So don't throw that to my face, as it doesn't matter, i hate dead things in my face.
What it does matter, is that my business was interrupted, rudely.
By a Colonial aiding Outcasts.
Did you even heard that last sentence?
Colonial aiding Outcasts.
You don't have the authority you say?
Well guess what, bubba.
*Puts out her cigar*
We ain't hired by the Colonials. We're hired by you.
So it's your mess to clean up.
Which that means something very groovy.
You can choose one of the following:
One, the Colonials pay for the loss in business.
Two, you pay for the loss in business since you can't keep your allies in check.
Three, you won't say a word to us as we shoot down Colonials from space.
So, Ogawa. What is going to be?
Dice or no-dice?
Toodles, Silver.
[8:32:45 PM] Dusty Lens: Oh no, let me get that. Hello? Oh it's my grandma. She says to be roleplay.
[12:12:00] Traxit: this is smut stop
No miss Silver, this wasn't the only or the latest incident. I was provided with evidence which date from April; that is 2 months ago. Furthermore, if you want us to help you, you should talk with the same respect I am talking to you.
The Colonial Republic does neither work for the IMG nor they are account for their actions to us. They are independent as much as we are.
By the way, talked with the 'Lonials while we carpet bombed a 'Cast dessie.
They coughed up the doe and apologized.
And as i said, they are your allies, not ours.
We work for you, not to them.
So if an employee has a problem with the neighbour, he takes it to the boss first, doesn't it?
All good business.
So do send all the Reaver-Colonial incident proofs, 'cause i want to see how far this is going.
Toodles, Silver.
[8:32:45 PM] Dusty Lens: Oh no, let me get that. Hello? Oh it's my grandma. She says to be roleplay.
[12:12:00] Traxit: this is smut stop
Miss Silver, the fact that the Colonial Republic is a close friend of IMG doesn't make us responsible for their actions or the diplomacy they have towards with RMC. You work for us, not them. I thought RMC was aware of such distinctions. We have influence in the Republic (as allies) but not enough power to order them to do what we want.
About the evidence, I am afraid but I am not allowed to show them to you. However, I can assure you they are more than real.
In addition, I don't think it really matters since from what you tell me, the situation is already resolved. If you have any future problems or concerns, feel free to contact me.
Yup, the business was taken care of.
Thanks to Captain Ryker of the Colonials.
Buuuut.
I'm still calling on your so-called proofs.
And in case you don't know what that means, in old Libertonian poker style rules, i'm calling yer bluff.
So, show me your hand.
I hate to think yer lying to me and all.
That's a nasty problem to have in our business relationship.
It's like you say "Hello sweetheart, i'm home."
I say "Hi sweetie, how was work?"
You say "Normal, what's for dinner?"
I say "Cabbage soup." And then i get the knife to continue to cut stuff up.
In the end, you forgot to mention that you just came from screwing my best-friend.
That's bad and normally happens to end in the newslines.
Toodles, Silver.
[8:32:45 PM] Dusty Lens: Oh no, let me get that. Hello? Oh it's my grandma. She says to be roleplay.
[12:12:00] Traxit: this is smut stop
Miss Silver don't you ever question my word. It is a great insult as I come from Kusari.
However, I should also admit you are quite persuasive. If you ever feel retiring from your mercenary work, I can assure you that you will find a position in my office.
Normally I shouldn't do this, but I think it's appropriate to show you the evidence and my credibility once and for all. The following system-wide messages were picked up by Falkland's radar. They were transmitted around mid April. The Colonial forces also confirmed that there was a small skirmish back then.
*Opens a bottle of Jack Daniels and pours some into a glass*
A very good thing to be in my line of work.
Now since you came clean, i'll come clean too.
While Crimson and Copper are away in vacations, i'm acting as the secondary SiC of the Reaver Merc. Co.
That means, i deal with the paperwork, problems, the whole schbang.
And with that, comes also the great, absolutely fantastic business of accessing the terms of contracts and the PpK of each one of them.
*Sips a little from the glass*
With that.. I have to check if the Taus contract is good enough versus the Colonial/Bounty Hunter/IMG/Outcast stuff.
That means past, present and future problems.
That's why i need to find out if there's at all, problems in the past with the 'Lonials.
That's why i pressed you to come forward, love.
*She gulps the remaining whisky*
And retire from this life? Ah!
If i reach 30, i'll think about it.
Guess that is all.
Toodles, Silver.
[8:32:45 PM] Dusty Lens: Oh no, let me get that. Hello? Oh it's my grandma. She says to be roleplay.
