Transmission to DHC from Omicron Supply Industries, CC: Rheinland Govenment

Greetings

I just noticed a very troubling transmission concerning Zoners in the Omega 11 system. I have to say that I'm a bit confused as to what brought this on and why it would apply to my company. We rarely, if ever, use that system but I am still curious.

Another thing. As I am sure you are aware, OSI and other independent Zoner shippers are your exclusive source of the mineral iridium. Our export of iridium has already dropped of because off recent hostilities with the Bounty Hunter Guild and it would be unfortunate if poorly thought out decisions cut them off completely. Iridium has a great many uses and without it your products would not be near the quality they are now. The corporate world can be a tough one and you need every advantage you can get to keep up, after all. There is always someone waiting to pounce when you fall behind. But you are a businessman and already know this, right?

So perhaps you should think about taking a less hostile stance for OSI and Zoners as a whole. Maybe try dealing with the ones that have offended you instead.

Kindest regards

Gabriel Caudill
OSI CEO

===Incoming Transmission===

From: Helga Hertz; System Control and Management; The Ring.
Subject: Omega 11 announcement

Currently the Board of Directors is unavailable, also the foreign relations office; however due to the nature of our department we are allowed to answer in behalf of them.

As a zoner you might be aware of certain incidents in the last few days regarding zoners and "their" space. Perhaps you have only seen one side of the coin, because here at DHC we have proof of certain pilots using zoner transponders for illegal acts (read piracy) and corporate espionage against Daumann vessels.
We have also seen how for a long time zoner freeports in their so called "neutrality" have harbored criminals, enemies of the state of Rheinland (read Red Hessians), but have ordered our transports to move on when they stay for a long time in "zoner" space surrounding the freeport; this mainly in Omega 3, which is the only route to Bretonia; which make us question the real intentions of the "free" people of Sirius; not to mention corsairs and pirate junkers.

All that said; the current increase in security form our part is just a defensive measure until we get more information of this new threat called pirating zoners, and the board of directors assigns new orders.
Of course in the past Daumann Heavy Construction has had business relations with Omicron Supply Industries; and we are ready for exceptions, perhaps you can begin by supplying us with information regarding this pirates and appealing to our name to other zoner groups...

This is all I as manager of System Control can personally say, until the Foreign Relations Office and the Board of Directors gets back to work tomorrow and you receive a direct transmission from them.
Oh and one more thing, We don't think its necessary to involve the Rheinland Government into this channel; This is a corporate affair after all.

Ms. Hertz,

I can't really comment on the Zoner "piracy". The information you have given me is a bit vague. Either they were broadcasting false transponders or you were somewhere you weren't welcome. But I only speak for OSI, so that isn't my concern. My concern is the recent trend to blame all Zoners for the actions of a few. We certainly aren't going to cut ties with all of Rheinland because we get pirated by a Hessian. I hope you can see my logic there. Since the ZA has dissolved, we are no longer one large group.

And you want information? Ma'am, we are a shipping company, not spies. I will not put my employees at risk just to gain access to a system we have no interest in. Like I said, I just want to make sure this isn't going to escalate into another incident like we had with the WRF recently. I think we can all agree that was rather foolish. That's also the reason for sending a copy of this transmission to the Government officials.

Anyways, I look forward to hearing from your superiors.

**Subject: Zoner related restrictions


There are no "zoner hostilities". No zoner ship has ever been attacked by DHC or a DHC employee. Not even after zoners opened fire on us. And no zoner ships will ever be attacked by DHC if they respect our laws and regulations. We are not the bad guys here, remember that
As stated, those measures are temporary. Should your fellow zoners accept our demands everything will go back to normal. Should they not, those restrictions will get a permanent status and more might me be added, but that does not mean exceptions can not be made.

Fortunately the OSI have been good partners and we see no reason for denying OSI ships access to Omega 11 and our other facilities as long as this partnership if profitable for us. You mentioned iridium. Maybe a few transports per month could buy your way into our space so there is no need for you to worry. Just respect our restrictions in the next few hours and you will be notified on this channel about our decision.

Head of the Daumann Foreign Relations Office,
Viktor Linz
