One of our operatives has noted that on two occasions now, your frankly amateurish employees have resulted in a loss of potential earnings.

Yesterday, a BattleCruiser [BH]_Achilleis decided unilaterally to "accompany" one of our agents in the hunt for a known target. Needless to say, the target ran when he saw the BC on his scanner. This is hunting, not stampeding and is a serious waste of Guild resources that might be best utilised in the Omicrons and the disputed zone in Alaska.

Today, another vessel who has a substantial sum on his head was spotted in New London. One of our bombers stalked the individual and hailed two of your operatives [BH]Crash and [BH]Guardian in system with a view to bringing the fugitive to heel.

Your employees lack the professional courtesy to return a hail, and, foolishly, chose to engage the individual themselves in Omega 49 after a rather long and pointless chase. The swift combat resulted in the loss of both ships, although pilot Crash seems to have acess to a wingman of the same name undetectable on scanners.

At this point one of them requested assistance as he wished to know if there was a JumpHole to O-15 from 49 on the public channels.

I also note from the report that both agents have opted to pilot
1) a non- i.d.'d civilian fighter
2) a police tagged and BH i.d.'d Liberty Gunboat.

I dread the thought of them EVER being in command of Guild vessels, considering the greed and lack of a fraternal spirit they demonstrated.

I would politely request that you review your training programme and advise your employees to avoid behaving in a manner that shows Guild members to be incompetent, bumbling idiots better suited to building sand-castles and knitting scarves.
