Following inspection of Sydney Station in the Omicron Theta system to ensure Guild ships have docking access, which is indeed the case, a freelance transport was encountered and scanned in the Sigma-17 system. The ship had a hold full of what were unmistakably alien artifacts, but of a composition not witnessed before.
In exchange for both information and the safe transfer of this cargo to my ship, the pilot was allowed to continue his journey without further consequences. The artifacts have been transported to Sigma-19 for study.
[10.12.2016 15:23:31] GMG|Namura.Maru: Good day, pilot. Please hold for routine inspection.
[10.12.2016 15:23:40] [IND]Simon.Says: What's that?
[10.12.2016 15:24:12] GMG|Namura.Maru: Scans are consistent with alien artifacts, but not of the exact composition I have seen before.
[10.12.2016 15:24:19] GMG|Namura.Maru: Are you aware alien artifacts are contraband in Guild space?
[10.12.2016 15:24:53] [IND]Simon.Says: I was unware these were alien in nature, I was told by a zoner I trade with for them that they were mere trinkets.
[10.12.2016 15:25:15] GMG|Namura.Maru: Do you have any information on how the zoner acquired them?
[10.12.2016 15:25:39] [IND]Simon.Says: I'm am sorry I don't. He told me they were collectors items from the Omicrons.
[10.12.2016 15:26:29] GMG|Namura.Maru: This is most concerning.
[10.12.2016 15:27:12] [IND]Simon.Says: Listen good sir, I don't mean to cause any trouble, is there any way I can take care of this quietly? I have a reputation to
[10.12.2016 15:27:37] [IND]Simon.Says: maintain and I want the GMG or anyone else to think I Was involved in something untoward.
[10.12.2016 15:27:57] [IND]Simon.Says: *wouldnt want*
[10.12.2016 15:28:22] GMG|Namura.Maru: Well, you are undeniably hauling alien artifacts in Guild space, which is violation of Guild law.
[10.12.2016 15:28:42] GMG|Namura.Maru: But I do admit this is the first instance of this kind being encountered in Guild space.
[10.12.2016 15:29:02] GMG|Namura.Maru: As such, I am willing to exercise discretion on the matter.
[10.12.2016 15:29:16] GMG|Namura.Maru: Please transfer your cargo to my ship, and I will be happy to consider the case closed.
[10.12.2016 15:29:34] [IND]Simon.Says: Fair enough, I am happy to give them to you for study.
[10.12.2016 15:30:11] GMG|Namura.Maru: Thank you for your cooperation on this matter. The Guild will study these artifacts.
[10.12.2016 15:30:19] GMG|Namura.Maru: Please be sure to observe Guild law at all times in Guild space.
[10.12.2016 15:30:25] GMG|Namura.Maru: You may proceed at your leisure. Please enjoy your flight.
[10.12.2016 15:30:28] [IND]Simon.Says: The IND is always more than happy to cooperate with local authorities.
Later the same day, a serious incident occured in Sigma-13. Massive energy readings were suddenly reported by both Gas Miner Naha and Helgoland Station, appearing without warning. Given the natural interference of the Crow Nebula, the true strength of these signatures is unclear but can safely be assumed to be of an astronomical scale.
The Guild was evidently not the only group to suspect something was wrong, as heavy assets belong to the Kusari Naval Forces, the destroyer Okinoshima and battleship Katana arrived to lend their assistance. Given the severity of the situation was unknown at the time of their arrival, they were temporarily granted access to Guild space.
Ship scanners began to lose performance on approach to the origin of the anomalous readings, but further investigation revealed a large alien structure lurking in the cloud. The area had previously been confirmed to be clear, and although how it came to be is unknown, some clues were left behind later. Large Nomad ships of a previously unknown composition were on the scene, and had attracted the attention of many assorted ships, including a Core Mako.
Several waves of Nomad ships attacked the area in an unusual pattern that would likely not be employed by any human military, leading to the destruction of many Nomad ships and an overall but costly human victory, with the large structure destroyed, before the remaining aliens disappeared into the Nebula. It is possible this incursion was a test of new battle strategies, or a feint to probe the security of the Sigma systems. Contact shall be made with the Order.
In the aftermath of the battle, a great deal of alien materials were salvaged from the wreckage, including a power cell. Several pieces of wreckage are strangely exhibiting the same electromagnetic readings as commonly recorded around jumpholes. The recent boost in The Guild's research capabilities as a result of the enlistment of several experienced scientists from Cambridge will go a long way in our attempts to ascertain exactly what happened and what information can be gleaned from it.
Fortunately, some assistance has arisen in the unlikely form of an independent Zoner researcher, who was present at the attack. He has shared his findings with The Guild, and directly transferred local copies of his data to my ship, which were subsequently uploaded to the GMG intranet via Gas Miner Naha for investigation.
[11.12.2016 23:52:08] Pionero: It's a good thing that I managed to get in contact with you, senhor, I've found this strange... thing after the infestation -
[11.12.2016 23:52:10] Pionero: incident
[11.12.2016 23:53:44] GMG|Namura.Maru: Good day, Zoner. I believe you were present when the Nomads invaded Sigma-13.
[11.12.2016 23:54:17] Pionero: You are correct, senhor. My vessel had received a report about a strange anomaly occurring in this system
[11.12.2016 23:54:43] GMG|Namura.Maru: A Nomad construct, apparently. Alone, The Guild would have been in serious trouble.
[11.12.2016 23:54:47] Pionero: We came as quickly as we could to investigate.
[11.12.2016 23:54:58] GMG|Namura.Maru: Fortunately, many ships belonging to local factions arrived to assist.
[11.12.2016 23:55:18] GMG|Namura.Maru: The Guild recovered several alien materials of interest, for study.
[11.12.2016 23:55:43] GMG|Namura.Maru: Your assistance in the situation is most appreciated.
[11.12.2016 23:55:46] Pionero: I believe that's why I'm here as well senhor
[11.12.2016 23:55:59] GMG|Namura.Maru: Might you have further information?
[11.12.2016 23:56:27] Pionero: Claro, in fact, I believe that it is, well, out of my area of expertise
[11.12.2016 23:56:36] Pionero: See, when we arrived to the incident area
[11.12.2016 23:56:58] Pionero: we found a strange structure, our scanners could not identify it as with most present
[11.12.2016 23:57:25] GMG|Namura.Maru: Our data is consistent with an unknown alien structure.
[11.12.2016 23:57:29] Pionero: But after the fight erupted, we managed to recover several samples and make scans on the surrounding cloud.
[11.12.2016 23:58:02] Pionero: Correcto
[11.12.2016 23:58:14] Pionero: its morphology is consistent with that of an alien installation
[11.12.2016 23:58:16] GMG|Namura.Maru: Ah, I see. Guild assets were preoccupied with ensuring the safety of the ships and general area at the time.
[11.12.2016 23:58:32] GMG|Namura.Maru: Should you have any data on the alien incursion, it would be most welcome.
[11.12.2016 23:58:52] Pionero: I do, senhor, in fact, too detailed for us to be able to make anything out of it
[11.12.2016 23:59:25] Pionero: We investigated the samples and data we could collect but I'm afraid the readings we could get are way too-
[11.12.2016 23:59:32] Pionero: close to the metal for us to decipher it
[12.12.2016 00:00:12] Pionero: We picked samples, ran a scan, no detections, then progressively raised the sensitivity until we had this.... monster of a -
[12.12.2016 00:00:31] Pionero: result report, it's taking up half of our harddrive
[12.12.2016 00:01:05] GMG|Namura.Maru: Our data is limited. Should you wish to cooperate on this matter, The Guild would be most grateful.
[12.12.2016 00:01:31] GMG|Namura.Maru: The alien menace is recognised as a major threat to the colonies.
[12.12.2016 00:01:46] Pionero: Por supuesto! I do wish to cooperate with the Guild, considering that the incident occurred within your jurisdiction, it's only
[12.12.2016 00:01:54] Pionero: fair that I gave the information to you, senhor
[12.12.2016 00:02:26] GMG|Namura.Maru: Your assistance is appreciated. I would recommend that you share any data you may have acquired, and in return, The Guild can
[12.12.2016 00:02:45] GMG|Namura.Maru: share any further research with you personally, in order to come to productive conclusion on the matter.
[12.12.2016 00:02:57] GMG|Namura.Maru: Might this be satisfactory?
[12.12.2016 00:03:26] Pionero: Claro, well I believe that we might benefit from this further as well. See, my vessel is an exploration vessel, as I said, so -
[12.12.2016 00:04:05] Pionero: further contact between us could be potentially beneficial for both parties in the future. Gas vein prospection, anomaly-
[12.12.2016 00:04:22] Pionero: exploration, the sort of things you could be interested in.
[12.12.2016 00:05:01] GMG|Namura.Maru: Indeed. I am Guildmaster Keiji Namura. Might I know your name?
[12.12.2016 00:05:29] Pionero: Of course. My name is Ricardo Molina, senhor.
[12.12.2016 00:05:47] GMG|Namura.Maru: It is a pleasure, Mr. Molina.
[12.12.2016 00:05:58] Pionero: Don't mind the hispanian name, I do have origins in the Cretan empire, but I don't approve of their activities.
[12.12.2016 00:06:23] Pionero: Thus my current affiliation, for a more legitimate vocation.
[12.12.2016 00:06:26] GMG|Namura.Maru: The Corsairs are mortal foes of The Guild. However, I trust your intentions to be sincere.
[12.12.2016 00:06:43] GMG|Namura.Maru: Were they not, I would not expect to be drawing breath.
[12.12.2016 00:06:52] Pionero: I assure you that your trust is not misplaced, senhor.
[12.12.2016 00:07:37] Pionero: Very well then. I need to warn that this data is, as I said, very detailed, senhor
[12.12.2016 00:07:40] GMG|Namura.Maru: The Gas Miner Naha is not particularly outfitted with an impressive science lab, but it can surely serve as a temporary
[12.12.2016 00:07:47] GMG|Namura.Maru: for any data you may have acquired.
[12.12.2016 00:08:14] GMG|Namura.Maru: Might you transfer your findings to my ship's computers, so they may be backed up on Guild servers for safe keeping?
[12.12.2016 00:08:40] Pionero: Claro, do with it as you wish. I'm afraid that the data is very, very detailed, however, so a wireless transfer is of very high
[12.12.2016 00:08:43] Pionero: risk of corruption
[12.12.2016 00:08:55] Pionero: I will need to transfer the drives physically to your vessel
[12.12.2016 00:09:17] Pionero: To ensure data integrity
[12.12.2016 00:09:23] GMG|Namura.Maru: That will of course be possible, and most prudent.
[12.12.2016 00:09:39] Pionero: Very well.
[12.12.2016 00:09:55] Pionero: Hang on, let me lock on the tractor transfer system.
[12.12.2016 00:10:19] GMG|Namura.Maru: Your data has been received.
[12.12.2016 00:10:34] Pionero: Transfer complete, the hard drives are on your ship now, aren't they?
[12.12.2016 00:11:09] GMG|Namura.Maru: I can indeed confirm I am in possession of your hard drives.
[12.12.2016 00:11:30] Pionero: Muy bien, that confirms the success
[12.12.2016 00:12:23] Pionero: I would advise to keep them in a very well ventilated area, however, to ensure that they don't overheat and cause something
[12.12.2016 00:12:33] GMG|Namura.Maru: In order to ensure the integrity of the drives and their data, I would like to transfer the information to the Gas Miner Naha
[12.12.2016 00:12:35] GMG|Namura.Maru: database.
[12.12.2016 00:12:37] Pionero: to break down and corrupt the data.
[12.12.2016 00:12:43] GMG|Namura.Maru: Understood.
[12.12.2016 00:12:51] GMG|Namura.Maru: Again, your assistance is most appreciated.
[12.12.2016 00:12:54] Pionero: Claro, do with it as you wish, senhor, the data's yours now
[12.12.2016 00:13:14] Pionero: I'm glad to be of assistance.
[12.12.2016 00:13:15] GMG|Namura.Maru: I shall ensure the data is backed up immediately, and contact you over the neural net with any further information.
[12.12.2016 00:13:25] GMG|Namura.Maru: In the meantime, please consider yourself most welcome in Guild space.
[12.12.2016 00:13:58] Pionero: I'm honored, senhor
[12.12.2016 00:14:20] GMG|Namura.Maru: Excellent. I must moor with the Naha. Please enjoy the rest of your day.
[12.12.2016 00:14:35] Pionero: And thanks for the info offer, I'll see if I can get something helpful for you out of it, if possible
[12.12.2016 00:14:50] Pionero: Muy bien, a pleasure to be of assistance.
The penultimate event of note involved a Core "Mako" Battleship, originally detected on its way to Planet Hiran, and failing to comply with directives instructing it to come to a stop. It continued to move towards the Luxury Liner Hawaii, likely since its captain was aware it was in violation of Guild law. The ship did eventually come to hold position and scans determined it to be in possession of alien materials, its second infraction.
The captain refused demands its cargo be confiscated, and moored with the Hawaii to avoid prosecution. Communications for both the captain and Orbital Spa and Cruise are presently being composed.
[12.12.2016 12:27:17] GMG|Keiji'Namura: Core ship, please come to a stop.
[12.12.2016 12:27:54] Neviden: Servus. What could I help you?
[12.12.2016 12:28:13] GMG|Keiji'Namura: Please explain your presence.
[12.12.2016 12:28:43] Neviden: I have a trading contract. And I bring the products to Sigma-19
[12.12.2016 12:29:02] Neviden: The customer will come here, too.
[12.12.2016 12:29:13] GMG|Keiji'Namura: Ah, you are delivering alien remains to Sigma-19. What is your final destination, and who are you meeting?
[12.12.2016 12:29:34] Neviden: My final destination is Gas Miner Ogashawa
[12.12.2016 12:29:55] GMG|Keiji'Namura: I am afraid that will not be possible. You do not have permission to moor with the Ogashawa.
[12.12.2016 12:30:11] GMG|Keiji'Namura: Capital vessels are not permitted in Guild space without prior authorisation. Authorisation you do not have.
[12.12.2016 12:30:11] Neviden: How could I get that permission?
[12.12.2016 12:30:27] GMG|Keiji'Namura: Furthermore, the transport of alien materials in Guild space is prohibited.
[12.12.2016 12:30:45] GMG|Keiji'Namura: You may request permission for safe transit through the Sigmas over the neural net.
[12.12.2016 12:30:50] Neviden: Oh, my stupid head.
[12.12.2016 12:30:54] GMG|Keiji'Namura: Once you transfer your cargo to my ship and vacate the Sigma systems.
[12.12.2016 12:31:03] Neviden: So I'm violating rule here?
[12.12.2016 12:31:06] GMG|Keiji'Namura: Yes. Two.
[12.12.2016 12:31:34] Neviden: Well, I can't tranfer these goods. It's pricy
[12.12.2016 12:31:45] Neviden: I could pay the fine and leave.
[12.12.2016 12:31:54] GMG|Keiji'Namura: Your cargo is clear violation of Guild law, and is to be confiscated.
[12.12.2016 12:32:22] Neviden: Oh, come one... you know these are that high price.
[12.12.2016 12:32:53] GMG|Keiji'Namura: I am afraid that is not relevant. You are flying a battleship in Guild space without permission, and carrying contraband.
[12.12.2016 12:33:06] GMG|Keiji'Namura: It must be confiscated, and you escorted out of the Sigma systems.
[12.12.2016 12:33:43] Neviden: I'm afraid that I only follow the leaving order, not your demand.
[12.12.2016 12:34:06] GMG|Keiji'Namura: Failure to comply with Guild directives may result in ship destruction. Please transfer your cargo to my ship.
[12.12.2016 12:34:16] Neviden: I refuse, sorry.
[12.12.2016 12:34:17] 2016-12-12 12:34:16 SMT Traffic control alert: Neviden has requested to dock
Finally, a Hogosha base has been discovered in the Okinawa system. A Hogosha fighter was discovered in Sigma-19 and, evidently feeling outmatched, immediately vanished through the nearby Okinawa jumphole. It fled through the Hasuda Asteroid Field, and, shortly after a declaration of intent, made an emergency landing on a previously unknown installation.
[12.12.2016 21:10:03] GMG|Keiji''Namura: Hogosha ship, come to a stop.
[12.12.2016 21:10:19] [HA]-$|Yukari.Yakumo: Uh... better not.
[12.12.2016 21:11:37] GMG|Keiji''Namura: You are tresspassing in Guild space and failing to comply with Guild directives.
[12.12.2016 21:11:42] GMG|Keiji''Namura: Your ship is to be destroyed.
[12.12.2016 21:11:45] GMG|Keiji''Namura: Discharging weapons.
[12.12.2016 21:11:57] [HA]-$|Yukari.Yakumo: you don't say... i know that myself.
[12.12.2016 21:12:58] 2016-12-12 21:12:56 SMT Traffic control alert: [HA]-$|Yukari.Yakumo has requested to dock
To all Guild's personnel. Guildmaster Keiji Namura's gone missing so for now I'll take responsibility and guide the Guild through Namura's absence.
All Paramilitary squadrons are meant to be deployed as soon as possible. Look for Guildmaster's ship or its wreckage and report everything you've found so far to Aomori. Squadrons are advised to search beyond our borders as well including Honshu, Hokkaido, Omicron Theta and Beta, Frankfurt and Munich.
Orders regarding The Archangels Fighter Club and Sigma-15 are still active. All paramilitary squadrons are also allowed to intercept Kruger transports heading to Rheinland. You can continue your pursuit in Munich and Frankfurt system. You are also allowed to engage Samura transports. Demand money or part of their cargo. If they refuse to comply then use of lethal force is allowed. Keep intercepting them in Frankfurt if you found them in Sigmas.
Transports and miners should proceed with their routine work. Await further instructions.
Sigma-21 is currently being invaded by House Kusari.
During a sweep of the system undertaken for Operation: Banjou, an unauthorised installation was detected, as a ship began to depart from the vicinity. This ship belonged to Samura Heavy Industries and came to a stop when directed. The pilot of the transport claimed the station belongs to the Kusari Naval Forces.
Shortly afterwards, a KNF fighter arrived on scene, followed by a second fighter. At this time, I had no interest in communicating with the naval forces and initially departed. On return to sensor range a short while later, a battlecruiser, equipped with cloaking technology, had arrived. This unwarranted show of force is a flagrant violation of Guild sovereignty.
The battlecruiser moored with the station, and I returned to the Battleship Daishouri.
[11.11.2017 16:02:12] GMG-Keiji,Namura: Samura ship,come to a stop.
[11.11.2017 16:02:28] S|-Ichikawa: My god calm down
[11.11.2017 16:02:37] S|-Ichikawa: Hello there.
[11.11.2017 16:02:44] GMG-Keiji,Namura: Good day.
[11.11.2017 16:02:50] GMG-Keiji,Namura: Please explain why you are in this system.
[11.11.2017 16:03:29] S|-Ichikawa: Can i move a bit? Sun corona. you know?
[11.11.2017 16:03:54] GMG-Keiji,Namura: Indeed. Please feel free to move your ship to a safer location within the vicinity.
[11.11.2017 16:05:06] S|-Ichikawa: Should be ok now. Arigato
[11.11.2017 16:05:31] S|-Ichikawa: So. My name is Hideo Matsumoto form Samura.
[11.11.2017 16:05:39] GMG-Keiji,Namura: Guildmaster Keiji Namura. A pleasure to meet you.
[11.11.2017 16:05:44] S|-Ichikawa: The latter you maybe noticed by now
[11.11.2017 16:06:43] GMG-Keiji,Namura: Indeed. Please might you explain your presence in this system?
[11.11.2017 16:07:13] S|-Ichikawa: I was on my to Rheinland
[11.11.2017 16:07:31] GMG-Keiji,Namura: I see. You appeared to have launched from the nearby installation. The Guild was not, until now, aware of its presence.
[11.11.2017 16:08:24] GMG-Keiji,Namura: Might you explain the nearby Kazuno Outpost?
[11.11.2017 16:09:25] S|-Ichikawa: As far as i know it is a installation of the Kusari Naval Forces.
[11.11.2017 16:09:58] [KNF]'Echizen'|66th: Hmmm
[11.11.2017 16:10:09] GMG-Keiji,Namura: Thank you for your assistance. You may proceed at your leisure.
[11.11.2017 16:10:13] GMG-Keiji,Namura: Please enjoy your day.
[11.11.2017 16:10:54] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: Oh, greetings.
[11.11.2017 16:11:05] S|-Ichikawa: Arigato Guildmaster
[11.11.2017 16:11:25] S|-Ichikawa: Was a pleasure to meet you
[11.11.2017 16:12:55] [KNF]KDS-Shirayuki: Some issue with GMG?
[11.11.2017 16:13:07] [KNF]KDS-Shirayuki: Hail, Namura Keiji.
[11.11.2017 16:13:09] S|-Ichikawa: Especially in the Sigma'S
[11.11.2017 16:13:25] [KNF]'Echizen'|66th: Seems he was interrogating passing traffic when we arrived.
[11.11.2017 16:13:43] [KNF]KDS-Shirayuki: Good to see you, Gas Miner Guild.
[11.11.2017 16:13:44] [KNF]'Echizen'|66th: Got the patrol on scanners again.-
[11.11.2017 16:13:47] S|-Ichikawa: We've had a little talk about this installation. Nothing to worry about
[11.11.2017 16:14:14] [KNF]KDS-Shirayuki: Well, that's good to hear.
[11.11.2017 16:15:05] [KNF]KDS-Shirayuki: May we have a word, Namura-san?
[11.11.2017 16:16:10] [KNF]KDS-Shirayuki: Well. You should probably be on your way no matter, Ichikawa.
[11.11.2017 16:16:34] S|-Ichikawa: I don't know how the GMG works. I am just a transport Captain
[11.11.2017 16:17:33] [KNF]'Echizen'|66th: Area clear, no more hostiles for now.
[11.11.2017 16:18:08] S|-Ichikawa: May i proceed to Sigma 15 now Or is my assistence needed here?
[11.11.2017 16:18:18] [KNF]KDS-Shirayuki: Feel free to proceed, Samura.
[11.11.2017 16:18:24] [KNF]'Echizen'|66th: Sigma-15 uh? Very well.
[11.11.2017 16:18:55] [KNF]KDS-Shirayuki: Hm. Well. That Namura Keiji is not quite talkative.
[11.11.2017 16:19:14] S|-Ichikawa: He did talk to me.
[11.11.2017 16:20:55] [KNF]KDS-Shirayuki: Mooring to Kazuno...
Some days later, a Kusari Naval Forces transport, hauling robotic hardware, was encountered in Honshu. Out of curiosity, I tailed it to a jumphole, which it took, and emerged in Sigma-21.
It then proceeded directly to the offending base, which has clearly been fortified. All of the above lends credence to the Samura captain's claim, and The Guild is holding Kusari responsible for attempting a hostile takeover of a Guild system.
[21.11.2017 20:10:21] [KNF]KDS-Aden.Maru: Konbanwa.
[21.11.2017 20:10:57] GMG-Keiji.Namura: Good day, pilot. Always a pleasure to meet friends in the Kusari Naval Forces.
[21.11.2017 20:11:11] [KNF]KDS-Aden.Maru: Arigato gozaimasu, Namura-san.
[21.11.2017 20:11:17] [KNF]KDS-Aden.Maru: Konbanwa.
[21.11.2017 20:11:48] [KNF]KDS-Aden.Maru: Best luck in your travels.
[21.11.2017 20:14:45] [KNF]KDS-Aden.Maru: All clear. Thank you for escorting us.
[21.11.2017 20:14:47] 2017-11-21 20:14:48 SMT Traffic control alert: [KNF]KDS-Aden.Maru has requested to dock.
A Liberty Rogue transport was earlier detected in Sigma-59. The Rogues are unwelcome in Guild space due to their hostility towards GMG ships in and around House Liberty, however, it was accompanied by two Blood Dragon ships, who vouched for its presence. With the word of our friends in the Dragons, alongside the more pressing matter at hand, it was allowed to remain unhindered.
I informed the Dragons of a zone of interest in Sigma-21, and they accompanied me to the location of the unauthorised Kusari station in the system. The Shogunate will now soon be aware of its presence, and a message shall be sent containing our evidence of its ownership.
[30.11.2017 15:44:07] LR-Moka's.Monster: Amy: I guess its because of our friends. Yea..
[30.11.2017 15:44:09] BD|Yanabayashi: Homura: Proceed.
[30.11.2017 15:44:22] GMG-Keiji,Namura: Good day, pilots.
[30.11.2017 15:44:23] BD|Yanabayashi: Homura: Kombanwa, GMG.
[30.11.2017 15:44:24] LR-Moka's.Monster: Amy: Jumping.
[30.11.2017 15:44:26] BD|MomsikiOtsutsuki: Konichiwa Keiji
[30.11.2017 15:45:06] GMG-Keiji,Namura: Might I be of assistance, Dragons?
[30.11.2017 15:45:29] BD|MomsikiOtsutsuki: Not at the moment Keiji, but are you having some intent?
[30.11.2017 15:45:37] BD|Yanabayashi: Homura: Actually... yes. We are looking for some Helium-3.
[30.11.2017 15:45:51] BD|Yanabayashi: Homura: Your help would come in handy.
[30.11.2017 15:45:52] LR-Moka's.Monster: Amy: Good day, Miner.
[30.11.2017 15:46:12] GMG-Keiji,Namura: The Liberty Rogues are not particularly welcome in Guild space. However, given you are on scene, I am willing to overlook its
[30.11.2017 15:46:14] GMG-Keiji,Namura: presence.
[30.11.2017 15:46:33] GMG-Keiji,Namura: I do have something to show you, though, that might be of interest.
[30.11.2017 15:46:39] LR-Moka's.Monster: Amy: Wait, why not?
[30.11.2017 15:46:47] BD|Yanabayashi: Homura: Treat Amy-san as our special guest. All responsibility is on me.
[30.11.2017 15:47:05] GMG-Keiji,Namura: I understand, and acquiesce to your judgement.
[30.11.2017 15:47:15] BD|MomsikiOtsutsuki: We will take responsability for this rough, she will be in our protection and we will not cause any trouble
[30.11.2017 15:47:29] LR-Moka's.Monster: Amy: I have no intent to hurt anyone, so far away from my own home, but if I may ask.
[30.11.2017 15:47:44] BD|Yanabayashi: Homura: Anyway, Keiji-san, you spoke of some place of interest?
[30.11.2017 15:47:46] LR-Moka's.Monster: Why are we Rogues not allowed inside the Gas Miners space?
[30.11.2017 15:47:52] GMG-Keiji,Namura: Indeed.
[30.11.2017 15:48:08] BD|Yanabayashi: Homura: Would you please explain?
[30.11.2017 15:48:12] GMG-Keiji,Namura: The Liberty Rogues often harass Guild transports in Liberty space. However, given you are vouched for by the Blood Dragons,
[30.11.2017 15:48:14] GMG-Keiji,Namura: there is no issue here.
[30.11.2017 15:48:53] LR-Moka's.Monster: *She nods* Amy: I'm sorry to hear, Will have a talk with the Warlord when I return home to ask him about that.
[30.11.2017 15:49:18] GMG-Keiji,Namura: The Guild is always open to business dealings, and should the Liberty Rogues wish to come to some accord, your thoughts would
[30.11.2017 15:49:20] GMG-Keiji,Namura: be most welcome.
[30.11.2017 15:49:41] BD|Yanabayashi: Homura: Keiji-san, please. The place of interest you mentioned. Discuss it in the first place. Arigato.
[30.11.2017 15:49:47] BD|MomsikiOtsutsuki: Well mr Keiji you are our host and you have the word of leading this gathering, so where are we headed?
[30.11.2017 15:49:51] GMG-Keiji,Namura: Indeed. If you would please follow me.
[30.11.2017 15:50:02] BD|Yanabayashi: Homura: Lead the way.
[30.11.2017 15:50:54] BD|MomsikiOtsutsuki: Oh my Goodnes, so bright... Arigato for showing this to us
[30.11.2017 15:51:01] GMG-Keiji,Namura: Our destination is on the edge of the suns' coronas, please be careful.
[30.11.2017 15:51:10] GMG-Keiji,Namura: You might now see an installation in the distance.
[30.11.2017 15:51:16] LR-Moka's.Monster: *She nods*
[30.11.2017 15:51:48] GMG-Keiji,Namura: This installation belongs to the Kusari Naval Forces, and is supplied by our enemies Samura Heavy Industries.
[30.11.2017 15:51:49] BD|Yanabayashi: Homura: A daring project, to be said.
[30.11.2017 15:52:07] BD|Yanabayashi: Homura: Is that true?
[30.11.2017 15:52:10] BD|MomsikiOtsutsuki: I cannot say I aporve of this
[30.11.2017 15:52:35] GMG-Keiji,Namura: Indeed. A Guild investigation has confirmed it. I wish to bring this to the attention of our friends in the Blood Dragons,
[30.11.2017 15:52:38] GMG-Keiji,Namura: should it be of interest.
[30.11.2017 15:52:44] BD|Yanabayashi: Homura: *Attempts to contain her rage* It should be razed to the ground.
[30.11.2017 15:52:48] BD|MomsikiOtsutsuki: If this is true than Amy-san would be funding Kusari Naval Forces and therefore Samura industries.
[30.11.2017 15:53:04] GMG-Keiji,Namura: The Liberty Rogue is in league with this operation?
[30.11.2017 15:53:09] BD|MomsikiOtsutsuki: I am sorry Amy-san but I have to condone such enterprises
[30.11.2017 15:53:13] LR-Moka's.Monster: Amy: Leauge?
[30.11.2017 15:53:18] BD|Yanabayashi: Homura: I doubt this, Momsiki-san.
[30.11.2017 15:53:40] BD|Yanabayashi: Homura: Imagine Rogues in alliance with someone they constantly fought in Shikoku.
[30.11.2017 15:54:05] LR-Moka's.Monster: Amy: Why on earth would I help, Kusair lawful's in anyway, The damn Hog's are trying to take my home!
[30.11.2017 15:54:10] BD|MomsikiOtsutsuki: Still I cannot help myself but to wonder...?
[30.11.2017 15:54:20] BD|Yanabayashi: Homura: Anyway, information about the installation will be delievered to our Daimyo's.
[30.11.2017 15:54:40] BD|MomsikiOtsutsuki: Shogun will be informed as well. We are grateful to the GMG Keiji-san
[30.11.2017 15:54:41] LR-Moka's.Monster: To fight back Hogoshians from over steping there own, tails.
[30.11.2017 15:54:42] GMG-Keiji,Namura: I am glad you find it of use.
[30.11.2017 15:55:05] BD|Yanabayashi: Homura: Arigato, Keiji-san.
[30.11.2017 15:55:07] GMG-Keiji,Namura: I am afraid I must depart. Emergency communication. Please enjoy the rest of your day.
[30.11.2017 15:55:21] GMG-Keiji,Namura: And thank you for your time.
[30.11.2017 15:55:22] BD|Yanabayashi: Homura: Gambatte!
[30.11.2017 15:55:24] BD|MomsikiOtsutsuki: Arigato Kejiji-san, please stay well!
[30.11.2017 15:55:25] LR-Moka's.Monster: I do say I have no athorty to say anything here but I do find that, Quit...... offencive... to, be out right accused...

An unaffiliated ship has been detected in the Sigma-19 system and scans came back positive for unlawful organic cargo. However, it managed to evade interdiction and escape into the Hiryu Cloud. Guild patrols should be on alert for sightings of a borderworlds transport marked A17-1.
In another development, The Guild has been in receipt of a broadcast allegedly originating from the guildmistress of the Core, Enma Loyola, which can be viewed on public neural net page 157069. The contents of and intention behind the message are unclear and may simply be the result of intoxication. However, given the open access to the transmission, it is worth being monitored by The Guild.
It would appear that Enma Loyola has previously been encountered in Guild space under entirely different circumstances, which is most suspicious. A close eye must be kept on this situation.
[img float=right]http://i.imgur.com/WrzdMNX.png?1[/img]Sender:Enma of the Loyola Familia. Recipient:Keiji Namura. Topic:Hey.
Guildmaster Namura,
it's not like I will ever forget people attemting to help me. Despite a small strife between our organizations, you have rushed to help me. First of all I would like to thank you for this, now when I have time.
I bet we both could reconsider old approaches on certain things. You know, politics in Sigmas is quite labile, everything can change if there will be a good will.

The Guild's experience with Loyola is that of a vicious, hostile fighter pilot somehow wielding alien weaponry and equipment. The potential for a malicious ruse is great, however, as in business and war, all potential avenues of benefit must be explored.
We will tread carefully, but a reply to Loyola will be formulated and sent, in order to determine the details of her situation. Her apparent connections to both the Outcasts and The Core may present an opportunity to exploit for The Guild's gain.
A lone Corsair ship was encountered and destroyed during a patrol of the Sigma-17 system. Given the area's contested status, particularly with the conflict surrounding Planet Kurile, extra paramilitary efforts have been directed to ensuring the security of the system.
During this patrol, an illegal installation was discovered, despite its efforts in vain to keep it concealed. Its position on the outer edge of the Nemuro Dust Field did little to prevent its detection. This station denies The Guild access, is obviously attempting to hide its position and carries a naming convention often observed attached to Corsair and Outcast warships and assets. This, combined with fact several hostile groups such as Samura, the Hogosha and the Corsairs are challenging Guild authority in Sigma-17, means this station is marked for immediate destruction.
Guild protocol usually provides the administrators chance to explain their circumstances and evacuate their construct, however, given the circumstances this station will be struck and dismantled without prior warning, nor, should this operation proceed without interference, will The Guild admit responsibility for its destruction.
The aforementioned installation belongs to our foes the Corsairs and must be deconstructed as swiftly as possible.
Upon approach, a Corsair cruiser was deployed on guard. This ship is clearly acting in defence of the station had had no reservations about opening fire on my ship. In addition, we are in receipt of a message regarding this illegal construct on neural net page 158948.
[11.03.2018 15:05:34] ApS|CNS-Lanza: ?:Halt!
[11.03.2018 15:05:57] GMG-Keiji-Namura: Corsair ship, explain your presence in this system.
[11.03.2018 15:06:02] ApS|CNS-Lanza: ?:You are attacking a civilian base
[11.03.2018 15:06:08] CONSOLE: Base Puerto de Nueva Hispania is under attack by GMG-Keiji-Namura!
[11.03.2018 15:06:18] ApS|CNS-Lanza: ?:As you wish
[11.03.2018 15:06:24] GMG-Keiji-Namura: This base is built in violation of Guild law and scheduled for destruction.
[11.03.2018 15:06:26] ApS|CNS-Lanza: ?:Open thos guns!
[11.03.2018 15:06:27] GMG-Keiji-Namura: Vacate the area.
I got interrupted from my siesta by the station alarms.
One of your fighter pilots got a little trigger happy around it.
What are you trying to do with this unprovoked attack? The station is well outside traffic routes, it poses no threat to the Miner's Guild.
There's two ways we can go about this.
Option A: You get back to mining gas and these bad hermanos that were very angry to be awoken will get back to sleep and forget this ever happened.
Option B: You continue to provoke us and learn the painful way what happens when you interrupt a siesta.
On retreat from the area, a Coalition battlegroup was encountered at the Sigma-19 jumphole. This group was technically in violation of Guild law as it included capital vessels in Guild space without prior authorisation, but given the circumstances, a decision was made to overlook this.

[11.03.2018 15:09:56] SCEC|CPRV-Kardashev: Dr.Belov: further into Omicrons
[11.03.2018 15:10:09] GMG-Keiji-Namura: Ah. Please beware the Corsair ships currently active in this system. They are hostile and attacking ships at will.
[11.03.2018 15:10:10] SCEC|CPRV-Kardashev: Dr.Belov: we hope you don't mind
[11.03.2018 15:10:20] GMG-Keiji-Namura: Of course not, you may pass through at your leisure.

[11.03.2018 15:10:37] SCEC|S-Pripyat: Grachov: We will take a note, miner. Arigato... That's how you say it?
[11.03.2018 15:11:02] SCEC|S-Pripyat: Grachov: Alright, proceed!
The Coalition has been informed of this offending base. Whether they will show any interest is unknown, but should they decide to dedicate any resources to its removal, the safety of Sigma-17 may just be guaranteed.
(03-11-2018, 10:28 PM)Gas Miners Guild Wrote: To whom it may concern,
Good day. I trust this message finds you well.
Earlier today, a battlegroup carrying your IFF was met in Sigma-17. This itself is of no issue, as the Coalition is welcome to traverse Guild space as freely as any others. The reason The Guild is making contact today is that your ships were met while an ongoing Corsair operation is taking place in Sigma-17. They have constructed a space station and have ships present to ensure its safety.
Were this station allowed to remain standing, it will no doubt be responsible for an explosion of hostile activity in the system, with Corsair raiders using it as a base to attack all local traffic. Our paramilitary is taking measures to mitigate this threat as necessary, however, it is recommended that in the meantime caution is observed in the space afflicted with this infestation.
If this information is of use to you, please consider it a friendly tip, for which no reward is expected. If it is of no benefit to yourselves, please forgive the intrusion and accept The Guild's best wishes.
Recently, more and more often I see criminals in the House of Kusari.
A few days ago I, flying through New Tokyo, saw the pilot of The Commune. Right under New Tokyo, he tried to rob a civilian ship. Despite the fact that it would seem it's not my concern - I tried to stop it. Fortunately, after a few minutes from the station, the KNF pilot took off, who, after the explanations, entered into a fight with The Commune and, as far as I know, the offender was defeated.
Today I involuntarily met with Hogosha Association. These... pilots stopped me at the trade line near the gate to Honshu. Without even letting me know what was happening, these people began to accuse me of some crimes.
After I collected a whole list of crimes, suddenly a pilot of the Kusari police appeared on my radars.
However, this man was only identified as the police. As I understand it, the officer was at one with Hogosha, because he quickly learned where we were and arrived in the shortest time.
Even without listening to me, he demanded money from me for the crime invented by Hogosha.
Without any evidence of my guilt, the policeman stubbornly continued to demand money from me.
When I again tried to prove my innocence, this "policeman" issued an ultimatum - or I pay a fine for the crime that I did not commit, or I will be destroyed.
Quickly reacting, I managed to escape from these corrupt humans. However, Hogosha persistently continued to pursue me to Okinawa.
Forcing me to fight and insult, he tried in every possible way to lead me to a fight.
I did not attach importance to his words, but the fact that he invaded the space of the GMG gave me an excuse to destroy him.
The pilot admitted that he had been looking for this for a long time.
However, that most of all I was amused - after a while the aforementioned policeman came running to help him, offering help to Hogosha in a fight.
Following The Guild's message to Ageira Technologies, a representative of Ageira Innovations has visited Planet Kurile in Sigma-17. Their Grizzly freighter was loaded with equipment commonly used in their exclusive products.
Ms. Griffith shed much light on the restoration of docking to Planet Kurile, and was eventually escorted out of the Kunashir Cloud and through Sigma-19 to the Honshu jumpgate, where we ultimately parted ways.
[08.04.2018 15:29:15] Ageira~Nicole.Griffith: A good day to you.
[08.04.2018 15:29:29] GMG-Keiji-Namura: Ah, good day. It is a pleasure to meet a representative from Ageira Innovations.
[08.04.2018 15:29:53] GMG-Keiji-Namura: I imagine you are here as a result of the messages between our organisations.
[08.04.2018 15:30:03] Ageira~Nicole.Griffith: I was tasked to investigate your case, by President White.
[08.04.2018 15:30:17] Ageira~Nicole.Griffith: So yeah.
[08.04.2018 15:30:23] GMG-Keiji-Namura: That is most excellent news. Please allow me to ensure your safety as you conduct your inspection.
[08.04.2018 15:30:52] GMG-Keiji-Namura: I will also be able to answer any questions you may have.
[08.04.2018 15:31:19] Ageira~Nicole.Griffith: Primary scans have already been completed yesterday. However there is something I would love to analyse myself.
[08.04.2018 15:31:41] Ageira~Nicole.Griffith: I am sure President White will contact you as soon as possible.
[08.04.2018 15:31:59] GMG-Keiji-Namura: Understood. Please feel free to continue your analysis at your leisure.
[08.04.2018 15:32:10] Ageira~Nicole.Griffith: Thank you.
[08.04.2018 15:32:27] Ageira~Nicole.Griffith: Do you know how was the hardware damaged?
[08.04.2018 15:32:53] GMG-Keiji-Namura: Yes. It was attacked by ships belonging to Samura Heavy Industries in order to deprive The Guild of their use.
[08.04.2018 15:33:05] GMG-Keiji-Namura: I am unsure of the exact details, but it is possible antimatter weaponry was involved.
[08.04.2018 15:33:17] GMG-Keiji-Namura: However, unfortunately we do not possess any concrete data on that matter.
[08.04.2018 15:33:25] GMG-Keiji-Namura: As I'm sure you can imagine, the situation was quite chaotic.
[08.04.2018 15:33:45] Ageira~Nicole.Griffith: I can imagine, yeah.
[08.04.2018 15:34:34] Ageira~Nicole.Griffith: As I stated in my report, docking ring sustained heavy damage and most of its hardware and software were wiped out.
[08.04.2018 15:34:56] Ageira~Nicole.Griffith: It's possible to repair it, but I would suggest to aquire a new one.
[08.04.2018 15:35:14] Ageira~Nicole.Griffith: But that's just my recommendation. President White has the final word.
[08.04.2018 15:35:35] GMG-Keiji-Namura: I see. The Guild appreciates your efforts and will take board any suggestions from yourself and President White.
[08.04.2018 15:36:12] Ageira~Nicole.Griffith: Repairs are cheaper, however lifespan of the repaired docking ring is much shorter than of the new one.
[08.04.2018 15:36:28] Ageira~Nicole.Griffith: With new one, we would also provide you with up to date software.
[08.04.2018 15:36:37] Ageira~Nicole.Griffith: But ey, I am talking too much.
[08.04.2018 15:36:47] Ageira~Nicole.Griffith: I will let higher ups to decide what is best.
[08.04.2018 15:37:04] GMG-Keiji-Namura: Any information you are willing to provide is most welcome. However, I understand leadership structures must be adhered to.
[08.04.2018 15:37:56] Ageira~Nicole.Griffith: Anything else you would love to ask about this case? Otherwise I would like to move out of this cloud.
[08.04.2018 15:38:19] Ageira~Nicole.Griffith: I can imagine nothing friendly would emerge out of the jump hole nearby.
[08.04.2018 15:38:29] GMG-Keiji-Namura: Your comments have been most enlightening and I will not take up any more of your important time.
[08.04.2018 15:38:35] GMG-Keiji-Namura: Please accept my escort through the system.
[08.04.2018 15:38:55] Ageira~Nicole.Griffith: My pleasure.
[08.04.2018 15:39:29] Ageira~Nicole.Griffith: Otherwise all fine? Miura's hardware working as it should be?
[08.04.2018 15:40:00] GMG-Keiji-Namura: Indeed, all is well. I think that perhaps in the future, there may be other projects The Guild would like to enlist the
[08.04.2018 15:40:06] GMG-Keiji-Namura: assistance of Ageira Innovations with.
