Subject: IMG and ALG Alpha Wing Introductory Report
Dear Hatsuyume, as I know you were dissapointed with the last political demarche suddenly made by Independent Miners Guild. Currently I am unavailable to provide you with a comprehensive information about the IMG political vector and deployment of their forces in Tau systems. Our military doctrine does not imply the potential open military conflict with Independent Miners Guild so we do not even have a sufficient amount of intelligence information to even start plan the operations against them.
Even if we will get the required information I'm afraid with nowadays configuration and our economical model will compele us to act with full force. Instead in the case if situation will be heated up we will not be helpless. Well known that IMG moving their convoys through Kusari Space and Sigma systems, however I believe that atack IMG here would be erroneously. Most likely Kusarian State Police and Naval Forces will assist the Guild and the IMG's themselfs will be ready for possible attacks. Catch them in Sigmas systems looks attractive, but it is hard to anticipate reaction of the Gas Miners Guild.
I went to Taus to collect some information and to probe the IMG security system. The Barrier asteroid fields provides great cover for the small raiding groups. First of all I will concentrace my efforts at the bow Tau 29 - Tau 23 - Tau 37. Potential raids at this bow could be quite painful for IMG. I understand that I take steps which are a bit premature, but we have to be ready for any turn.
I was expected to be spot, but I was spoted by unexpectable forces. Near Java at Tau-23 I've met the ALG vessels. They belong to Alpha Wing, first ALG security unit, currently they located in Java and protecting IMG property. I have managed to get some answers which sheds light on this. ALG have extra profitable operations with IMG. Both IMG and ALG have a common security system in Taus. ALG or at least Alpha Wing are not interested in political situation in Kusari, but will defend their IMG 'friends'.
[21.07.2015 12:13:41] [ALG]-Alpha.3: Vat the Hell?
[21.07.2015 12:14:09] ~*~'Shine': Hell? Well you can call this system hell, but I like it.
[21.07.2015 12:14:43] [ALG]-Alpha.3: I was referring to your prezence in zis system.
[21.07.2015 12:16:05] [ALG]-Alpha.3: Let me hop into zomething more comfortable.
[21.07.2015 12:16:05] ~*~'Shine': It is out of your concern, rheinlander.
[21.07.2015 12:16:39] [ALG]-Alpha.0: It is infact my concern, Kusarian.
[21.07.2015 12:17:04] [ALG]-Alpha.2: What's going on here?
[21.07.2015 12:17:14] [ALG]-Alpha.0: I found zis Kusarian loitering.
[21.07.2015 12:17:15] ~*~'Shine': Why is that? What are you forgot in Tau-23?
[21.07.2015 12:17:26] [ALG]-Alpha.2: Hm. Snubcraft.
[21.07.2015 12:17:42] [ALG]-Alpha.2: Not a problem unless Java is under threat.
[21.07.2015 12:18:01] ~*~'Shine': Another rheinlander, guten tag.
[21.07.2015 12:18:12] [ALG]-Alpha.2: Not a Rheinlander but that hardly matters.
[21.07.2015 12:18:46] ~*~'Shine': So what are you doing here?
[21.07.2015 12:18:59] [ALG]-Alpha.0: Zat is a funny question coming from you.
[21.07.2015 12:19:08] [ALG]-Alpha.2: Alpha wing security is in charge of protecting Java and IMG and ALG operations in the Tau region.
[21.07.2015 12:19:35] [ALG]-Alpha.0: Ja, that is right.
[21.07.2015 12:19:54] ~*~'Shine': Good to know, I'm not going to do something bad, at least for now. How long are you here?
[21.07.2015 12:20:18] [ALG]-Alpha.2: Permanently. Alpha wing was the first ALG security division established.
[21.07.2015 12:20:28] [ALG]-Alpha.0: At least for now? Is that a threat?
[21.07.2015 12:21:35] [ALG]-Alpha.2: IMG are our closest partners, naturally we share security interests as well.
[21.07.2015 12:21:36] ~*~'Shine': Threat? No it isnt
[21.07.2015 12:22:07] [ALG]-Alpha.2: And greetings, Corse.
[21.07.2015 12:22:17] ~*~'Shine': How often are you being attacked?
[21.07.2015 12:22:22] [UC]-Grayson.Matthews: Bon matin, ALG vessels.
[21.07.2015 12:22:26] [ALG]-Alpha.0: Guten Tag Corse vessel
[21.07.2015 12:22:26] [ALG]-Alpha.2: It's the Taus. What can I say.
[21.07.2015 12:22:55] [ALG]-Alpha.0: The Taus are mostly populated by those Outcasts, so they are our primary threat to IMG and ALG operations.
[21.07.2015 12:23:02] [ALG]-Alpha.2: Naturally.
[21.07.2015 12:24:14] ~*~'Shine': 'casts? Sure, many of them here. They are cutting your supplies here, right?
[21.07.2015 12:24:43] [ALG]-Alpha.2: It's a constant back and forth with them.
[21.07.2015 12:24:53] [ALG]-Alpha.2: You just get used to it after a while.
[21.07.2015 12:25:15] ~*~'Shine': Mhn, Alpha staying here for long?
[21.07.2015 12:25:34] [ALG]-Alpha.2: Well like I said, it's a permanent combat squadron.
[21.07.2015 12:25:50] [ALG]-Alpha.2: Doesn't look like we're needed at the moment though.
[21.07.2015 12:26:04] [ALG]-Alpha.0: Fascinating ship you have there Corse.
[21.07.2015 12:26:27] ~*~'Shine': Are your forces really enough enough? I mean there is too many outcasts here.
[21.07.2015 12:26:36] [UC]-Grayson.Matthews: Oui, thank you.
[21.07.2015 12:26:54] [ALG]-Alpha.0: IMG and ALG Ships combined can deal with almost any Outcast threat coming here.
[21.07.2015 12:26:55] [ALG]-Alpha.2: We're not trying to eliminate them, just keep ourselves and our allies protected.
[21.07.2015 12:27:14] [UC]-Grayson.Matthews: Elimination is more of a Corsican speciality, I must admit.
[21.07.2015 12:27:27] [ALG]-Alpha.2: Indeed, the Corse have been very helpful in that regard.
[21.07.2015 12:27:57] ~*~'Shine': It seems that ALG having good profits from here if it spent money to maintain you here.
[21.07.2015 12:28:27] [ALG]-Alpha.0: Our financial status is none of your concern.
[21.07.2015 12:28:37] [ALG]-Alpha.2: Of course. As it's one of the main areas of operation of the IMG, and they are our closest business partners.
[21.07.2015 12:29:14] ~*~'Shine': And what do you think about Kusarian politics?
[21.07.2015 12:29:22] [ALG]-Alpha.2: I don't, normally.
[21.07.2015 12:29:37] [ALG]-Alpha.2: Why, are we about to hear a speech on the subject?
[21.07.2015 12:30:26] [ALG]-Alpha.0: We don't really care for Kusarian politics, as long we are free to pass Kusari with our Cargo, we are fine with it.
[21.07.2015 12:30:34] [ALG]-Alpha.2: Pretty much.
[21.07.2015 12:30:36] ~*~'Shine': You are here to defend this place from 'casts and while they arent here you are free to talk, right?
[21.07.2015 12:31:01] [ALG]-Alpha.2: Eh. I guess. So, what do you have to tell us about Kusari politics?
[21.07.2015 12:32:11] ~*~'Shine': I have no permission to talk about the politics much, let's just say I believe that we need the serious transformation at
[21.07.2015 12:32:16] ~*~'Shine': Home
[21.07.2015 12:32:38] [ALG]-Alpha.2: Okay then.
[21.07.2015 12:32:40] [ALG]-Alpha.0: That is what you believe.
[21.07.2015 12:32:44] [ALG]-Alpha.2: Good luck with that and everything.
[21.07.2015 12:33:12] [ALG]-Alpha.0: I, for my own opinion, think that Samura is doing well in making Kusari a better place.
[21.07.2015 12:33:12] ~*~'Shine': You too, maybe we will have a chance to talk another time.
[21.07.2015 12:33:37] [ALG]-Alpha.2: Maybe we will.
[21.07.2015 12:33:38] ~*~'Shine': Samura and Kishiro are the same corrupt systems.
[21.07.2015 12:33:41] [ALG]-Alpha.0: It's just the whole civil war that is going around is problematic.
[21.07.2015 12:34:09] [ALG]-Alpha.2: Yeah. I guess it'll be getting uglier in the future.
[21.07.2015 12:34:18] ~*~'Shine': If Liberty would install the puppet government in Rheinland I think you would rebel as well.
[21.07.2015 12:35:12] [ALG]-Alpha.2: We shall see what happens in Rheinland. Obviously things will change quite a bit.
[21.07.2015 12:35:18] [ALG]-Alpha.0: Rheinland in it's current state is fine
[21.07.2015 12:35:36] [ALG]-Alpha.2: I mean I'm just a security pilot, not a political analyst. What do I know.
[21.07.2015 12:36:01] ~*~'Shine': As I said politics is not my profile too.
[21.07.2015 12:36:20] [ALG]-Alpha.0: You are in no place to compare Rheinland to Kusari, And Liberty would never install a different Government in Rheinland.
[21.07.2015 12:36:39] [ALG]-Alpha.0: Such scenario is non-existant.
[21.07.2015 12:36:56] [ALG]-Alpha.2: I'm sure the higher-ups have plans for all eventualities.
[21.07.2015 12:37:14] ~*~'Shine': Never say never. Watch out for Bretonians on your backyard.
[21.07.2015 12:37:50] [ALG]-Alpha.2: Watching Bretonians is Zeta wing's job.
[21.07.2015 12:37:55] [ALG]-Alpha.0: Bretonians would never dare attack the Vaterland.
[21.07.2015 12:38:03] McDeath: Greetings, what's up...
[21.07.2015 12:38:07] McDeath: Who's Shine?
[21.07.2015 12:38:21] [ALG]-Alpha.0: Some Kusarian criminal.
[21.07.2015 12:38:26] McDeath: Faction?
[21.07.2015 12:38:31] ~*~'Shine': My name is Kaiko, nice to see you.
[21.07.2015 12:38:49] McDeath: Hm... i'm cusarian and looking for some stuff
[21.07.2015 12:39:11] ~*~'Shine': What kind of stuff?
[21.07.2015 12:40:16] [ALG]-Alpha.2: Yeah, no convoy inbound at the moment.
[21.07.2015 12:40:55] [ALG]-Alpha.2: Anyway. I'm out, looks like we're all good here.
[21.07.2015 12:40:59] [UC]-Grayson.Matthews: Convoys tend to attract the lesser sniffers like moths to a flame, so it's good to know when "hunting season" is.
