Guten Tag
We are not enemies, not by any means. I have always considered the Junkers to be at least a friendly group, although a little hard to understand at times.
We share a common bond - the space that we work in. And this is why I contact you . ALG Vessels are coming under attack and extortion from ships that are undocking from your stations. Your stations are often very prudently based within the scrap fields, and as such are often very close to our working vessels in these areas.
There have also been distressing claims by some of these attacking vessels that the actions they are taking against us, are on your behalf. I am sure this is not ture, but should there be anything that we can do to further improve our relations, please do inform us.
We do not seek to change your ways, not at all. We chose our path, you chose yours. However my reason for contacting you today is this: I would like to request that, under straining circumstances, ALG vessels be allowed to take shelter on your bases.
I hope you are well.
-Rudi Bergmann, Chairman ALG

Well I certainly haven't asked anyone to attack ALG ships. I haven't ordered any hostilities towards your group at all. That's why I was very surprised to be receiving reports from my people that ALG ships have been sitting in the field off Trafalgar spying on Junker activities. Trafalgar has become very sensitive as of late. I fear there are going to be many bad things happening there in the near future and we are increasing our security all around. Any reports of vessels spying on our ships and bases will be taken very seriously. Would you care to explain this?
As far as the base goes, you are welcome to dock on any base as long as you behave. We don't like anyone to bring trouble to our base. If you are involved in a conflict and wish to use our base as a refuge from that conflict you will only be drawing us into the middle of hostilities. That is exactly the sort of thing I hoping to avoid around Trafalgar these days.

Guten Tag
Mein Herr, given that your esteemed station is in the middle of the aforementioned scrap field, and on an almost direct vector from the Southampton arrival lane, it is inevitable that many of our ships will pass close by there. There is also the fact that many of the ALG captains choose to work with your colleagues, and hire them to help with their work on a freelance basis. As such they will want to be near the station to contact any prospective junkers.
I can assure you that the ALG is not spying, nor does it have any need to spy. I hope we can prove this to you in some way.
-Rudi Bergmann, Chairman ALG

So what your telling me is that you want to hire us to work our own turf. Did I hear that correctly?
I've made some inquiries into what has been going on. It appears no one ever expected to see you there. Many found it curious that a Rheinland based corporation would come to New London to salvage scrap metal when there is much more floating around New Berlin and Sigma 13. They just assumed there must be another reason for your ships being there. I have to say they do make a logical argument.
I have to say this is reminding me of the old days around Yanagi where so many traders were luring pirates near the station and it became the source of many conflicts. I definitely don't want to see that happen at Trafalgar.

Guten Tag
Herr Crow
I was simply trying to emphasise the spirit of co-operating that the ALG comes in. Our ships are capable of holding much cargo, wheras many of the ships worked with were smaller "CSV" craft. It was only ever a mutually beneficial situation.
We are indeed origionally from Rheinland, but we operate across sirius, and have done for some time. Sigma13 is almost deplete of scrap which we can profitably Harvest, and the field in New Berlin is extremely small compared the the vast mass in New London. This is why we are there.
I hope that while we both inhabit this field, that we can continue to work side by side without conflict as we always have done in the past.

Guten Tag die Herren,
I have to state that when I'm operating in New London my vessel has always maintained a safety distance of at least 15 klicks to the possible location of the Junker base and use to operate in the southern area of the debris field charted as Southampton Debris Field.
Additionally I would respectfully remind the Junker congress of the long term contracts by the Bretonian government with ALG Waste Disposal to clean the debris fields in New London.
If the Congress meanwhile offers some kind of licensing or permit to operate in said area I would like to acquire one for let's say 10 million credits.

I've been looking into this matter more thoroughly and there have been some misunderstandings. There are some things we should definitely talk about and it should be face to face. I'd like to meet with you and discuss these issues. I will invite you aboard my flagship the Rocinante or if you prefer another location that will be fine as well. Just let me know.
