This is Jack Henderson, IMG Dublin Operations Coordinator speaking to the Leadership of the Union Corse.
I have to report to you that three of your ships have been spotted in Dublin in the act of destroying an IMG| Hydra gunboat inside the IMG perimeter of Hood.
IMG Defense forces, only myself in a Roc bomber, did not engage the attackers, but told the attackers to disengage and let the gunboat retreat to Hood, but they destroyed it nevertheless.
Quote:[09.08.2011 12:56:10] IMG|Jack.Henderson[D]: Ehm... IMG Defense: Who is fighting whom?
[09.08.2011 12:56:25] [UC]Rasoir-2: Nothign see taking care of bad businessmen
[09.08.2011 12:56:35] IMG|Jack.Henderson[D]: Hood is a port of trade.
[09.08.2011 12:56:46] IMG|Jack.Henderson[D]: The vicinity around it is meant to protect traders.
[09.08.2011 12:56:57] [UC]Rasoir-2: And we were until your boy showed up
[09.08.2011 12:57:14] IMG|Jack.Henderson[D]: Starwalker, retreat to Hood
[09.08.2011 12:57:36] IMG|Jack.Henderson[D]: If you destroy him, you will regret it
[The Hydra "Starwalker" is destroyed by shots fired by [UC]Intercepteur, 9 k from Hood]
The Zephyr Rockabill is launched as the 3 UC ships close in on Hood, assumingly to attack myself, as the following words suggest:
Quote:[09.08.2011 12:58:44] [UC]Intercepteur: So Jack.
[09.08.2011 12:58:54] [UC]Rasoir-2: Are we doing business Jack or not
[09.08.2011 12:58:56] [UC]Intercepteur: We were going to regret what exactly?
They did not dare to close in on the Defense Zephyr and left the 15 k sensor range, but kept shouting insults and threats all over Dublin system comms.
Quote:[09.08.2011 13:07:15] [UC]Rasoir-2: We came to do business
[09.08.2011 13:07:30] [UC]Rasoir-2: Now when we see your kind we won't [do business], we'll do massacre
[09.08.2011 13:07:35] [UC]Intercepteur: But now we are going to violate anything for your family to your pets.
[09.08.2011 13:08:07] [UC]Rasoir-1: Smooth, monsieur Intercepteur. I'll be violating their pets then!
[09.08.2011 13:08:10] [UC]Intercepteur: Now if you excuse me,I'll watch some science vids.
[09.08.2011 13:08:18] [UC]Intercepteur: Talking with you actually makes me stupid.
[09.08.2011 13:08:20] [UC]Intercepteur: Au revoir.
The ships left after hauling barrage of barrage of insults at IMG over system comms. IMG decided to cease the responses.
Later, contact was initiated to find out about the reasons of the attack:
Quote:[09.08.2011 13:10:32] IMG|Rockabill: I want to know what happened.
[09.08.2011 13:10:55] IMG|Rockabill: Why did you shoot the IMG Defense ship?
[09.08.2011 13:11:42] [UC]Rasoir-1: Mon Parrain is someone you need. It's Joel Orsini. He'll be reported of than incident...
[09.08.2011 13:11:51] [UC]Rasoir-1: Your ship refused to back off when asked. [It could not, it was already in the IMG Zone]
[09.08.2011 13:11:59] [UC]Rasoir-1: He then tried to intimidate us. [Likely standard protocol of asking troublemakers to leave the 10k around Hood]
[09.08.2011 13:12:05] [UC]Rasoir-1: We could not accept that.
[09.08.2011 13:12:07] IMG|Rockabill: He will hear of it, yes. He will. I just wanted to give you the chance to explain your unwise actions
[09.08.2011 13:12:35] [UC]Rasoir-1: -Unwise- actions, monsieur Rockbill, were of -your- man.
[09.08.2011 13:12:49] IMG|Rockabill: What did he do? He told you to stay away from Hood?
[09.08.2011 13:12:59] [UC]Rasoir-1: We were not near Hood.
[09.08.2011 13:13:06] [UC]Rasoir-1: We were at Leeds hole.
[09.08.2011 13:13:13] IMG|Rockabill: Tell me: what then did he do to give you 3 the right to attack and destroy him?
[09.08.2011 13:13:41] [UC]Rasoir-1: That apparently wasn't his territory. We asked about 7 times to back off to 9 clicks. He refused.
[09.08.2011 13:13:46] IMG|Rockabill: Do you want conflict with IMG?
[09.08.2011 13:13:56] [UC]Rasoir-1: We have nothing more to talk over.
[09.08.2011 13:13:56] IMG|Rockabill: Dublin is not YOUR Territoty
[09.08.2011 13:14:37] [UC]Rasoir-1: Neither yours it is, monsieur. Now if you excuse me, I have to attend more important things.
[09.08.2011 13:15:23] IMG|Rockabill: You made a bad move, Sir. And you'd better act differently if you want to avoid conflict and our help
[09.08.2011 13:15:48] [UC]Rasoir-1: *chuckles and closes comlink*
The IMG refrained from closing Orkney in order to intercept the perpetrators and bring them to justice when they were spotted returning to Gallia.
So, honestly... this leaves me with a blank stare on my face.
Your ships come to Dublin, sit next to my base, extort and scare traders, and when an IMG Defense ship shows up and tells them to move, they command it to leave (it can't, as 9 k from Leeds jumphole he would be sitting at Hood) and when it does not leave, they destroy it inside of the IMG Zone?
They do not stop, when told to, and when given time to do so.
Then IMG is threatened with massacres.
I thought we had a non-aggression agreement.
I also thought that you were part of a project that could save your people from extinction once bad things happen in Gallia. You know well what I am talking about.
I know that in that case you might be a part of these who could need a helping hand, a new home, and perhaps a few more things.
So... would you be so kind as to tell your pilots to behave when they encounter IMG? This would be just too kind, if they could show a little respect for us. Also I never want to see them hanging around Hood again and pestering our traders there.
The IMG respects the Union Corse, we haven't had noteworthy incidents in the Taus.
The IMG agreed to help the Union Corse in a dire life-or-death situation.
The IMG expects the Union Corse not to make us regret the decision.
