[font=Agency FB]Bonjour mesdames, messieurs.
We have opened this frequenzy for anything you might wish to share with the other members of the Brigands.
As it seems, the Legion des Dammes et La Brise seem to have an, well, a quarrel over something.
Should you be present while such a quarrel becomes violent, i please you to stay out of it.
Don't shoot at anyone of them.
Merci mille fois.

Bonjour fellow brigands!
My crew and I stacked up a bunch of food supplies and water and departed to the Taus on a several days journey. We will be operating in Tau 23 and 29 mostly for the next couple of days and will be reporting all our actions. It's a shame however, that our first official encounter pillaging miners was one heavily depressed captain who refused to pay and requested us to kill him, being the gentleman I am, ordered my crew to fire on the miner, and also used the encounter to test some nukes on the Sirian; what can I say? I just love to watch their blood boil in the vacuum...
I have added a picture of the miner's destruction; I'll report as soon as we get some loot or kills, whichever comes first we'll be glad.
This is a report concerning actions we have taken in the Sirian Taus systems. Moi in my gunboat Caudron, Remi LeVent in his L'Ane transport De Sade and Amandine Chevrier in her Cuirassier were composing the wing. Right after we finished our system checks after the jump in Tau-23, un IMG mineurs appeared on our scanners. He refused to pay the little amount of credits and cargo that we asked so he was destroyed. After this, the place started to crawl with hostile contacts; they even sent a cruiser to deal with us. Lucky us, some maltese people arrived just in time for the battle. The cruiser had no chance against the firepower of deux gunboats. Also, we saw Christian Aumont there, our former Commandant. After this win, LeVent had to go back in Gallia but I remained in Sirius, with Amandine. We searched for another target and soon, we found an AI Gunboat. You know those machines that are very annoying... we tried to ask for credits but it was playing stupid so I went the hard way on it and asked for the cargo. It wasn't much but better than nothing.
Next part of the report is very important. We had a little chat with the Administrator of the maltese fleet, D. Jameson. He was friendly, probably he knew that we're a possible new market for that cardamine drug and maybe even allies in his war against the IMG and the Colonials. Anyway, he gave me 4 units of cardamine for testing the Gallic market and I have to say that the result is interesting. A civilian from Quillan tasted it and he started to feel euphoric. He even showed better reactions. He will soon need more of that cardamine. The 4 units are almost depleted.
Bien... during the meeting with the Outcasts, we saw a Zoner flying city. We decided to leave for Tau-31 after that. The place was turning into a massive battle. I got to say, Tau-31 is far more tranquil even if there should be a war. Our first victim here was a zoner in a unarmed transport. He offered to buy a new dress for Amandine... an expensive dress, 2 millions. Here, another important part in the report.
We received an SOS transmission from a colonial vessel in the system. I wanted to go after it but an ICMG gunboat stopped me... at least he tried. The other bomber got away.
[color=#FFCCCC]Et after that, we found the colonial. His ship was almost destroyed, all systems were damaged but at least the pilot was still alive. So I started to think on how to get him out alive and obtain a ransom. I was thinking to ask 20 millions from the Colonials when the zoner that we robbed earlier arrived and told me that guy was an intelligence agent. Suddenly his price went over 50 millions and I managed to convince the zoner to help me "save" him. When the pilot was in the medical on my ship, he woke up from coma and started to act strange. The idiot was another machine. He wasn't human... at least not entirely. He started to say something about self destruction so I made a quick deal with the zoner. I gave him the pilot for 15 millions. I must say I was disappointed to let that guy go with an intelligence agent but it was too dangerous. It even damaged my cargo bay a bit.
Once more, I decided to have some fun in space. First of all, a liner with wrong identification papers decided to come to my Gallia and don't pay the entry tax. Well... that was his first mistake. His second mistake was to respond to my fire. He went poof in a tres jollie way. After I finished dealing with the liner, I found some spies... junkers, those bastards that work with the crown. However, they choose the good side this time and payed me.
Bien bien... this one is funny. A kusarian bomber belonging to the yellows, the naval forces was trying to get in Languedoc to do some missions. Unfortunately, he didn't have any money to pay the entry tax so I turned him back.
Bon! After that I took the Gunboat to the docks and took off in my little freighter. The idea was to force someone to buy the 500 units of ore. Of course, the three miners that I found refused so I blastedthem, with the help of a maltese pilot.
Oh oh, I forgot. I found a ship, RDA-something that accepted the deal. I advise you all to keep an eye on those guys. Maybe we can sell to them what we steal from the others.
[color=#FF6666]Now, keep an eye on this pilot from the +LE+. If you see him, you may open fire. Scum like these shouldn't have the opportunity to talk to us like that. Keep in mind, only attack that one, not all the +LE+. I will have a word with their leader about this incident. It is enough I let them operate from our bases, I don't have to get that from them.

Subject: What the hell
Bonjour
When I was about to leave my base I received one of those chain mails you usually consider spam from your coworkers; but I must say this one intrigued me. What it said is that the FBG leadership is in turmoil; the supposed dissapearance of some of our high ranked members; what the hell is going on on and who the hell is leading the FBG now? I will stay docked until I get an official confirmation, be it here or via private channels
