Howdy Miners,

Ain't too often I got reason to contact y'all. We've had a good workin relationship 'tween us fer some time. Junker Congress has enjoyed bein able to dock an do business on y'all's stations, specifically Siloso an Falster. An we've done good by y'all with not smugglin in the Taus. I'd wager we're most likely some of the most peaceful Junkers y'all've ever come in contact with. So it were a surprise fer us to find ourselves under the gun from one of yer employees while doin business with y'all. I'll attach all footage in this here transmission.

Now, I ain't an educated man, but I ain't stupid neither an I ain't goin to treat y'all like yer stupid either. We been havin some troubles with Archangel Fighters Club. Don't matter much who started it, an I ain't here to argue our side 'gainst theirs. What was shockin to us was findin 'em attackin us jus outside of yer stations while we was conductin business with y'all. We've seen our Kusari enemies doin business with y'all, but we'd never disrespect y'all by attackin 'em in yer territory. I reckon that same bit of respect ain't returned to us. Hell, we've even steered clear of Samura transports in Kusari what're haulin Niobium when by all rights their our enemy an should be shot.

I got folks over here what're askin why this is bein tolerated. They're angry an gittin a bit concerned over flyin into the Taus to buy ore from y'all. I been asked a few times by my brothers if'n it ain't better fer us to do as other Junkers do an haul the cargo what most consider poison. They're sayin then at least the folks under yer employ'd have reason to shoot us in the Taus. This ain't a threat, jus the questions bein asked of me from my fellow Congressmen. I ain't so keen on lettin go of this workin relationship we've got goin. So I'm contactin y'all in hopes that this can git sorted out 'fore folks start reactin badly to it. This ain't good fer either of us so what can be done to make sure our transports ain't gittin shot while conductin business with y'all?

Sincerely,
Wild Bill, Arbiter Junker Congress
