I'm Magdalena Atzenbruck, president of ALG Waste Disposal.
It's been difficult to avoid news about Omicron Delta. The situation has taken headlines on all major networks.
I will not add another rousing speech about it to the dozens already made, only a small statement.
For our initial contribution to the relief effort, the Gunboat Orkan, flagship of Alpha Squadron, was dispatched to escort a convoy of truly epic proportions. I can't say I've ever seen anything like it.
Here is the formal statement agreed upon by the Directorate, as the opinion of ALG Waste Disposal.
On behalf of ALG Waste Disposal, Directorate, we declare that we intend to support the relief effort for Freeport 11 as resources permit us, with humanitarian aid or escort to others bringing aid.
Freeport 11 has played an important role for ALG Waste Disposal, as the main source of Iridium in Sirius, a very important material for many of our products.
It is also not the first time we have thus found the company thrust into a political crisis turned violent in the far Omicrons. As before, while we condemn attacks committed on civilians, we will refrain from further judgement of the political aspect of the situation.
I'm Kai Richter, Director of Security for ALG Waste Disposal.
As I was just informed by Ms Atzenbruck herself, Core vessels attempted to destroy a relief convoy involving her ship. Fortunately, there were no casualties.

[03.05.2016 18:48:14] [ALG]-TGX-Thaya: Lena: I had heard about the Core intercepting transport, though I have to say I'm still surprised you'd be messing with us.
There is nothing much to say here, except the following:
On behalf of ALG Waste Disposal, Security Division, I declare the following: Effective immediately and until further notice, ALG Waste Disposal declares the Core hostile. All security squadrons are instructed to treat Core ships as enemies.
Any Core ship approaching an ALG station will be shot on sight.

-subject: Official Statement of yours-
President;
This is Mark Müller, of the auxiliary garbage hauler Westerwald.
We are uncertain about the nature of this statement. As far as we are aware, the Bundestag has not announced Rheinland's intention to take part in the relief effort. And personally, I do not know why they would, we are garbage haulers after all. Therefore I am questioning the legality of this statement. There has been no government statement to support any sort of excursion to the Omicrons, especially not with a fleet of trash vans and I believe we have our hands full of garbage right here.
If this is anything but a rogue act by a company president not acting within her legal capacity as a representative of the company's shareholders, who are influential businessmen within the Federal Republic, I would love to hear a proper explanation regarding that.
I'm somewhat unclear about what you're implying here.
ALG Waste Disposal is a private company, not a branch of the Federal Government. We don't require governmental approval for our trading contracts if they don't conflict with the law. Furthermore, we have a long history of trade with Omicron Delta, as Iridium is an important component of many of our advanced alloys and Delta is the only major source.
Of course, as a secondary transport captain, you are welcome to make your own decision about participation in such routes.
I hope this answers your concerns.
Whilst we are displeased to hear ALG forsaking its previously friendly terms to The Core, we are also displeased that they are comfortable with supply people that harbour criminals on their stations.
And as such, The Core will be ceasing Iridium trade for ALG vessels.
