1) This is a ROLE PLAY ONLY posting section. NO out-of-role-play discussion allowed here. Speak only as your game character would speak and only pertaining to things of which he could be expected to know first-hand.
2) This is for role-play news/rumors/announcements of JUNKER INTEREST ONLY. No discussion of other threads. Posts regarding other issues that aren't of direct interest to Junkers.
3) Independent Junker or Junker faction members may post in-game activities/announcements/news/events here but may NOT use this thread to post character stories and biographies.
4) Posts here should read as "news" not personal storylines, lengthy opinion pieces, arms shop advertisements, etc., etc. No, in-character "preaching", incoherent babbling or invented and not standard role play references are allowed here--i.e., no, "I am a Junker and have invented a time machine and come from the future to warn you about a death ray a Liberty scientist is about to invent that will destroy the universe."
5) Unlawful factions NOT hostile to Junkers may post role-play notices that are of use or interest to Junker characters in-game... subject to all applicable conditions given above.
6) Junker factions can announce engagements and activities here and (very briefly) recruit or promote. No constant spamming of personal agendas though...i.e., "Hi--Join the Junker Elite Clan" repeated every other post.
7) If there is confusion, disagreement or a question--do not "air it out" or argue it here--pm the poster for resolution or pm me and I will try to mediate. My post will be in role play in such matters. Any matter that cannot be resolved by role play or PM will be given to the admin as a rules violation.

*JUNKER CONGRESS MISSION REQUEST*
This Sunday (May 11) a Junker Congress mission will be available for all Junker Congress (.:j:.) members and selected eligible Junker captains at a specific time as yet to be determined.
A Junker prison ship acquired from the former Slaver's Union was able to slip into Xeno space with Junker agents and take numerous Xeno prisoners. Due to local hostiles, this ship is in hiding and awaiting escort from Tau-45. From Tau-45, the ship will proceed to Puerto Rico to deliver its prisoners to Carolina Outpost. Be advised, strong opposition from Xeno hostiles is expected and may even be encountered in the Puerto Rico system itself, though congressional intelligence considers this unlikely.
This mission is high risk. Any downed ship captains tractored in by Xeno forces will be allowed repatriation only after their ships are salvaged of all removable equipment. Any Xeno captains captured by our forces will be returned with the same terms.
The later exchanges for captured pilots will be made at Ames Research Center in Kepler. Ships may acquire a basic scanner only but must exit with no other gear--including shields or thrusters and are guaranteed safe passage to their nearest allied base by involved enemy forces.
Junker Pilots returning to base will be paid in cargo goods of considerable value but this is a mission to support our cause and strike a blow at our competitors--not one of mere profit.
Interested Junkers may reply via this channel if they intend to participate, the time they are available what ship and type they will pilot. Additional instruction will be given at that time.
One guard near the door went to find Thompson. York was looking at message on screen.
- Who sent us this message?
- Unknown source. We are unable to find the origin.
- Hmm...very well...there is somebody that knows...
York just finished the sentence when Thompson entered the room. ?
- You sent for me sir?....
- Yes...take out your ship, fly to Magellan and get me one of those lane hackers...keep low profile, i don't want you to be seen...just find one that flies of patrol routes...i am sure you will find something...capture him and bring him here.
Several hours later Thompson returned with one young Hacker. Hacker was lightly injured and it was clear he fought for his freedom.
Thompson dragged him into base command and dropped him on the floor.
- Here you go sir...this one is pesky one...be careful what you do around him, he is fast as a snake..
York looked at young man; - Stand up. I have a job for you.
- Job? - hacker asked - i will not work for dirty Xe....
He didn't finish the sentence. York smacked him before he could react.
Hacker dropped to the corner unconscious...
- Wake him up...lets try again...maybe he will cooperate now. -York said...
Guards picked up young hacker and helped him get up. York slowly walked towards him.
- Now, hacker, i really am not the man to mess with...I will ask you one last time, and if you refuse next thing that you will see is wrong end of my weapon...so decision is up to you...
Hacker didn't respond. Only his eyes darkened.
- This is what i want you to do. - York proceeded - Find the sender of this message, hack into his network and send him my message...
York slowly took out his weapon and waited. Hacker shook of guard hands and walked to computer console. With painful expression on his face he sat down and started working. York was standing close, looking over his shoulder, ready to waste him at first sign of trouble.
For fifteen minutes young hacker worked. His fingers flew across the keyboard. Sixteenth minute was passing when hacker said:
- I got him. Source found. Hacking his network.
- Excellent...you may still survive this day...- York looked at screen full of strange numbers and letters...
- Network hacked. Now we can send your message.
York gave him a datapad.
- Send them this....
Hacker looked at the pad...
- Very well...sending..............message sent......
Hacker placed data pad near the console.
- Take him to the dock bay...place him to unarmed Starflier with Xeno transponders, lock auto pilot with strong password and set course to Pueblo station. Lets see how good he is...
Hacker looked at York with fear in his eyes... - You sick bastard....
Guards took out the hacker and only Thompson and York remained in command room.
-I will be in dock bay 4...I must prepare my ship... - York said and went out of the room.
Thompson didn't know what the message was about, but he saw data pad laying on the console. He walked there took, the data pad and read it.

*JUNKER CONGRESS MISSION REQUEST*
Insure tight reign on unencrypted communications. We don't want losses on this job unless they are Xenos. We seem to have a security hole. Secure your comms!
I'll send my nightmarish brother Icelus on his Collector.
I need a little adjustement on my Civilian Bomber. However, if the opposition has a capital ship, i will come but i have doubt on the abilities of theses poor xenos to work as an organized group to raise the necessary fund.
I wonder how their ideology can trap so many pesky criminals without talents. All I see are chaotic minds driven by a huge amount of frustration. Maybe they should use more Cardamine to unleash their phantasms and understand their repressed urges.
