The IMG is a democratic structure, mister. Director Starwind told you exactly what any of us would tell to any Outcast or individual that has deals with them. Also... What do the Colonials have to do with this? Now... let me tell you one more time:
Trading with the Outcasts means you're helping them. If you do that, our fighter pilots will have more targets to shoot at.
Trade with others and leave us alone and we're cool.
Attack us and again, our pilots will have more targets to shoot at.
You don't really think that we will make any deals with a group which refuses to state their purpose, affiliation and denies us details about them. Now... Gothera, right? I advise you send transmissions of this kind only to the HQ in the future, not to the entire base. You know, we have many guests here. Why do you call yourself a lord, buddy?

Again another random voice to this discussion. You tell me what the CR has to do with this. They seemed to be all up in arms and mis informed as IMG about this.
If you want no paper contracts so be it. We don't deal with Outcasts the humanitarian supplies are for my pilots and their families.
Our transports for such things are marked *CBF* Restitution and *CBF* Intuition they are not of the combat form. They are simple cargo vessels boarder world transports that is. WHICH I would request a bit of peace at mind when they are shipping food supplies and not having to worry about being pestered and shot at as they were.
They will go to Cali to refuel since the attack from an IMG vessel has left both captains to question if Java station is hostile or not. Both captains were previous zoner fleet captains. They are neutrally tied and shouldn't have issues yet my desk was filled with complaints.
Which is why I brought this forward. *CBF* Restitution and *CBF* Intuition will need to be reaffirmed that IMG will not attack them. They transport food, ship panels, consumer goods and so forth to our base of operations.
I would kindly like it in official writing. Official agreement. Officially say CBF will not attack IMG, IMG will not attack CBF.
Is that so impossible to do? Am I just dreaming of fairy tale?

*Stares blankly*
What the effin' blazes is all this outcast talk about?
It's like I am dealing with preteens trying to figure out how to put out a kitchen fire. Everyone is screaming and nothing is getting done...
So you've digress your original stances of being hostile and WILL now not fire on my transports?
(//if you think it's inappropriate to answer, just ignore it, but I thought the thread to be reasonably "open" as it was sent to Java base, where my character is quite often.)
As this message was sent to Java base, just another IMG pilot got it, had a good laugh, then he dropped just the few lines:

Sir, have you EVER been in Tau23 when things get messy? If you had been, you would know that people have died for just no reason at all in the chaos.
If you want your traders to be safe, don't send them trough Tau23 when there is mayhem. When split seconds decide whether you live or die, hard to categorize ships should not be there.
I'd advise you to send scouts to Tau23 in advance of your convoy, make sure that it's calm. When in 14k distance hail Java Base and IMG SecForce and declare your aims. If given orders, comply.
I'm pretty sure nothing bad will happen if you stick to this easy receipe.
//no not at all ^^ the more the merrier right? It would be my fault if I hadn't directed this to HC or the Leaders, which I hadn't so you're well within reasonable right to join in with humor.//
