Konbanwa,

Earlier today, Miss O'Brien and I started a patrol through the sigmas region starting from Ogashawa where we immediately spotted a Freelancer train in possession of contraband-categorized items, namely artifacts. After a brief while of continuous demands towards the pilot to drop the contraband, he complied and the artifacts were therefore destroyed. Following the incident, we were joined by Guild Gunboat GPS-Sakhalin and ALG's Director of Security Richter onboard the [ALG]-Schneesturm. The two ships accompanied us throughout our patrol in Sigmas region, where we engaged in talks regarding the situation in the Sigmas and expanding our two organizations' influence.

During our journey, we encountered a junker ship with Stabiline near the Freeport 7 wreckage, which was heading towards the Omicrons, and another freelancer transport which apparently didn't know how to speak English. Fortunately, the ALG Director was able to help us communicate. Sadly, the visuals for those two encounters was lost due to the unfortunate accident mentioned later in the report.

Unfortunately for myself, due to my lack of knowledge of the nature of the space in the Sigmas and what surprised lay there, my ship suffered critical damage as we passed through an explosive gas field which forced me to eject with my pod. Fortunately, O'Brien-san tractored my pod and released me at the closest GMG facility.

You will find all the relevant evidence and data attached below.

[26.05.2017 20:46:14] Mass_Hauler_Inc: whoa now, this isn't mine!
[26.05.2017 20:46:42] (TC)-Lee.Min-Young: I'm afraid that's quite irrelevant. You're still in posessian of those items.
[26.05.2017 20:46:43] Mass_Hauler_Inc: does the guild have permission to just tell people to loose their cargo like that?
[26.05.2017 20:46:58] (TC)-Lee.Min-Young: Yes we do. In our space, we do.
[26.05.2017 20:47:25] Mass_Hauler_Inc: aw jeez, look how about we work something out? okay
[26.05.2017 20:47:58] (TC)-Lee.Min-Young: There's nothing to work out. You have contraband in your cargo hold and that's it.
[26.05.2017 20:48:03] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: What do we have here, Lee?
[26.05.2017 20:48:03] Death: Forlorn|-Eremiel was put out of action by Haley.Forest (Gun).
[26.05.2017 20:48:04] Mass_Hauler_Inc: I'll just go back where I came from and we forget about this? I promis I won't be doing this again
[26.05.2017 20:48:31] (TC)-Lee.Min-Young: This fellow transport captain seems to be holding contraband.
[26.05.2017 20:48:36] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Artifacts... *Shakes her head*
[26.05.2017 20:48:53] Mass_Hauler_Inc: thought this stuff was legal in kusari anyway, that's what my contact told me
[26.05.2017 20:48:58] Death: Haley.Forest was put out of action by Forlorn|-Eremiel (Gun).
[26.05.2017 20:49:08] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Sir, we're going to need to ask you to jettison all contraband in your hold.
[26.05.2017 20:49:26] Mass_Hauler_Inc: okay okay fine, these pieces of junk aren't worth my head over this
[26.05.2017 20:49:45] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Thank you for your cooperation, sir.

[26.05.2017 20:50:48] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Respect our space, and there won't be any trouble.
[26.05.2017 20:50:54] GPS-Sakhalin: a smuggler, eh?
[26.05.2017 20:51:00] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Dealt with, Sakhaliin.
[26.05.2017 20:51:10] (TC)-Lee.Min-Young: Hai. He was smart enough to comply.
[26.05.2017 20:51:19] Death: LNS-Wyoming was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[26.05.2017 20:51:22] GPS-Sakhalin: good
[26.05.2017 20:51:58] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: We're about to begin a Sigma Sector patrol. Care to join?
[26.05.2017 20:52:16] GPS-Sakhalin: of course
[26.05.2017 20:52:40] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Alright. Let's proceed to the Hawaii.
[26.05.2017 20:52:47] [ALG]-Schneesturm: Richter: Good day again.
[26.05.2017 20:52:59] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Hail, ALG.
[26.05.2017 20:53:12] [ALG]-Schneesturm: Richter: Everything well in the Sigmas today?
[26.05.2017 20:54:00] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Have you been part of the Guild long, captain...?
[26.05.2017 20:54:15] Death: LNS-Sword suffered a self-inflicted catastrophic decompression.
[26.05.2017 20:54:17] GPS-Sakhalin: rather long, yes
[26.05.2017 20:54:28] GPS-Sakhalin: mainly did helium-3 runs lately, though
[26.05.2017 20:54:38] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Interesting. Mostly as a more independent guildmember?
[26.05.2017 20:54:49] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Let's head to the Sigma-17 gate.
[26.05.2017 20:55:07] [ALG]-Schneesturm: Richter: We've had no other contacts so far, aside from the freelance trader from before.
[26.05.2017 20:55:08] GPS-Sakhalin: exactly
[26.05.2017 20:55:20] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Good to hear, ALG.
[26.05.2017 20:55:38] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: And you ever feel like joining a larger group in our Guild, let us know, Captain.
[26.05.2017 20:56:00] Death: Anhur was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[26.05.2017 20:56:26] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Let's head to the Freeport wreck.
[26.05.2017 20:56:52] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: A sombering sight...
[26.05.2017 20:56:59] [ALG]-Schneesturm: Richter: A reminder to remain ever vigilant.
[26.05.2017 20:57:03] GPS-Sakhalin: it is nice to see larger groups flying around again, the frequency of patrols and such has become less in the last time
[26.05.2017 20:57:08] (TC)-Lee.Min-Young: Indeed.
[26.05.2017 20:57:26] Cloak Disruptor not found.
[26.05.2017 20:57:30] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: We're contracted by the Taiheiyo Consortium. A group from the Eighty Years War that's only now becoming bigger.
[26.05.2017 20:58:07] [ALG]-Schneesturm: Richter: It is refreshing to see a strong newcomer within the Guild, we need good partners in this region.
[26.05.2017 20:58:30] Tip: You were a new player once. If you see someone making obvious mistakes, talk to them and help them.
[26.05.2017 20:58:37] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: The region needs a good bit of civilizing and lawkeeping. The Consortium's top priority is development and security.
[26.05.2017 20:58:41] [ALG]-Schneesturm: Richter: It's a minefield of unpleasant relations here, especially with the rise of the terrorist Core.
[26.05.2017 20:59:24] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: The Consortium prefers not to make trouble with most warring states. It's bad for business.
[26.05.2017 20:59:40] Death: Ciaphas_Cain was put out of action by LRD-"A_Liberty_Tragedy" (Gun).
[26.05.2017 20:59:57] [ALG]-Schneesturm: Richter: If I may speak frankly in this desolate location, I must make a statement.
[26.05.2017 21:00:05] Death: Tnxx was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[26.05.2017 21:00:09] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Go ahead, ALG.
[26.05.2017 21:00:19] CONSOLE: [Event]: The Uncharted System will open in 30 minutes.
[26.05.2017 21:00:33] [ALG]-Schneesturm: Richter: There is an interest among both our organizations to keep the respective houses of our origin....restricted.
[26.05.2017 21:00:56] [ALG]-Schneesturm: Richter: We do not wish to see Rheinland expansion into the Sigmas and southeastern Omicrons.
[26.05.2017 21:01:09] [ALG]-Schneesturm: Richter: I'm certain you don't wish for the same regarding Kusari.
[26.05.2017 21:01:24] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Among our groups, this is known.
[26.05.2017 21:01:57] [ALG]-Schneesturm: Richter: I think it will become essential to solidify positions in the currently....open systems, before the houses can.
[26.05.2017 21:02:25] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: One moment, ALG.
[26.05.2017 21:02:40] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Lee, let's check it out.
[26.05.2017 21:02:47] Marcus.Duplantier: oh hello friendos
[26.05.2017 21:02:49] (TC)-Lee.Min-Young: Ryoukai. Moving to intercept.
[26.05.2017 21:03:00] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Halt, transport.
[26.05.2017 21:03:04] Marcus.Duplantier: intercept.. -? intecept what?
[26.05.2017 21:03:17] Marcus.Duplantier: well now that was rude
[26.05.2017 21:03:26] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Do you have a permit to carry this much stabiline?
[26.05.2017 21:03:29] (TC)-Lee.Min-Young: You might want to cut your engines the next time.
[26.05.2017 21:03:46] [ALG]-Schneesturm: Richter: Greetings, Junker.
[26.05.2017 21:03:55] Marcus.Duplantier: permit? this stuff is unregulated.
[26.05.2017 21:04:16] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Are you up to date on the Guild laws, Junker?
[26.05.2017 21:04:30] Marcus.Duplantier: please enlighten me
[26.05.2017 21:04:40] [ALG]-Schneesturm: Richter: Hrmph. I suppose if people are already dependent on cardamine, better to not get the Outcasts involved...
[26.05.2017 21:04:46] Marcus.Duplantier: sorry I don't often keep up with burocracy, I am just a humble peddler
[26.05.2017 21:05:07] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: It's worth it to keep your knowledge of our rules in mind.
[26.05.2017 21:05:11] Marcus.Duplantier: see exactly, I'm hauling this for a few friends of mine... you might think of them as criminals, but they're
[26.05.2017 21:05:20] Marcus.Duplantier: honestly trying to go straight
[26.05.2017 21:05:40] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Where are your friends? Where's this ship headed?
[26.05.2017 21:05:58] Marcus.Duplantier: if you'd have any heart to see some reformed folks I know reneter society you'd let me head on my way
[26.05.2017 21:06:26] Marcus.Duplantier: I'm afraid that would be comprimising my personal information of my client, you know... professional integrity
[26.05.2017 21:06:32] Marcus.Duplantier: you GMG types are big on that I hear
[26.05.2017 21:06:44] [ALG]-Schneesturm: Richter: It sounds like you have very good intentions, Junker. I applaud you for your efforts, if you are being honest.
[26.05.2017 21:06:50] (TC)-Lee.Min-Young: This person knows business.
[26.05.2017 21:06:51] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: At least notify us of a system, sir.
[26.05.2017 21:07:02] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Or even just a sector.
[26.05.2017 21:07:34] Death: LNS-Sword was divided by zero.
[26.05.2017 21:07:46] Marcus.Duplantier: it'll be just in the omicrons. That's where I headed
[26.05.2017 21:08:08] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: We'll escort you to the jump hole, then.
[26.05.2017 21:08:22] [ALG]-Schneesturm: Richter: Keep your eyes open then. A transport of ours was attacked just today, by alien forces.
[26.05.2017 21:08:24] Marcus.Duplantier: well thankyou, you do have some decency about you, I'll remember this
[26.05.2017 21:08:26] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Proceed and we'll follow.
[26.05.2017 21:08:37] Marcus.Duplantier: roger that
[26.05.2017 21:09:09] Marcus.Duplantier: attacked by nomads? hell they really don't like it when I peddle some of my goods along, had a scrape with one\
[26.05.2017 21:09:11] Marcus.Duplantier: not too long ago
[26.05.2017 21:09:14] Death: Tx|-Sense was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[26.05.2017 21:09:20] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Nomads can't be reasoned with.
[26.05.2017 21:09:28] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Just avoid them.
[26.05.2017 21:09:39] [ALG]-Schneesturm: Richter: From what I heard, an Iridium hauler was attacked in Delta. Our security ships were nearby, and the alien was destroye
[26.05.2017 21:09:41] Marcus.Duplantier: er, you know of course, legal goods that nomads also don't like for some reason
[26.05.2017 21:09:47] (TC)-Lee.Min-Young: Or shoot them.
[26.05.2017 21:09:49] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Radiation. Shields up, everyone.
[26.05.2017 21:10:00] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Alright, this is where we part.
[26.05.2017 21:10:09] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Safe skies, trader.
[26.05.2017 21:10:12] Marcus.Duplantier: you folks have a nice day alright
[26.05.2017 21:10:19] (TC)-Lee.Min-Young: Good luck with your journey.
[26.05.2017 21:10:21] Marcus.Duplantier: thankyou for letting me through
[26.05.2017 21:10:37] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Let's head back to the gate.
[26.05.2017 21:10:49] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Anyways, ALG. You were saying?
[26.05.2017 21:11:31] [ALG]-Schneesturm: Richter: Yes, right. Let me gather my thoughts.
[26.05.2017 21:12:13] [ALG]-Schneesturm: Richter: There is, I believe, a pressing urgency to prevent the spread of house influence.
[26.05.2017 21:12:20] [ALG]-Schneesturm: Richter: In the Crow, that is.
[26.05.2017 21:12:36] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Neutrality of fuel is important.
[26.05.2017 21:13:18] [ALG]-Schneesturm: Richter: It goes beyond the fuel. We have relations and trade routes that cannot be under house scrutiny.
[26.05.2017 21:13:20] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Alright, let's head for Ogashawa.
[26.05.2017 21:13:38] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Vital connections to the Omicrons.
[26.05.2017 21:13:53] [ALG]-Schneesturm: Richter: Yes, to the Omicrons especially, but not exclusively.
[26.05.2017 21:14:51] [ALG]-Schneesturm: Richter: Not only that. We currently are viewing two major avenues for expansion, the planet Saarbrucken in Koeln.
[26.05.2017 21:15:00] [ALG]-Schneesturm: Richter: And the Sigmas.
[26.05.2017 21:15:15] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: To the Okinawa gate.
[26.05.2017 21:16:12] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: The Guild, and especially the Consortium, is exceedingly interested in Sigma-21.
[26.05.2017 21:16:28] [ALG]-Schneesturm: Richter: Particularly Sigma-21. Both houses will push their interests there, or try to.
[26.05.2017 21:16:39] [ALG]-Schneesturm: Richter: We must ensure their influence is limited.
[26.05.2017 21:17:46] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: I was told by my superior to ask any ALG reps about any possibilities for collaboration in Sigma-21.
[26.05.2017 21:18:48] [ALG]-Schneesturm: Richter: We strongly support efforts by the guild to become the dominant force in the system, so that we can use it-
[26.05.2017 21:19:21] [ALG]-Schneesturm: As a less-controlled area for sensitive technological and diplomatic work.
[26.05.2017 21:19:48] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: We were planning to send an expedition to Sigma-21 soon.
[26.05.2017 21:20:03] [ALG]-Schneesturm: Richter: Anything that will help accomplishing this will be budgeted for.
[26.05.2017 21:20:14] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Let's head through the gate.
[26.05.2017 21:21:00] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: We have a few scientists and pioneers willing to explore and survey Planet Saigon, but we lack the personnel and material for-
[26.05.2017 21:21:05] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: -more substantial efforts.
[26.05.2017 21:21:42] [ALG]-Schneesturm: Richter: Greetings, freelancer.
[26.05.2017 21:21:57] Gerard.Stoltenberg: Fly safe, ya' hear?
[26.05.2017 21:21:57] [ALG]-Schneesturm: Richter: I am Director of Security for ALG. I can have Epsilon squadron, currently stationed on Holstein, moved closer.
[26.05.2017 21:22:03] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Halt, vessel.
[26.05.2017 21:22:05] Gerard.Stoltenberg: (Smokes & Coughs)
[26.05.2017 21:22:14] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Cut your engines, transport.
[26.05.2017 21:22:31] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Halt, dammit!
[26.05.2017 21:22:34] [ALG]-Schneesturm: Richter: As for personnel, that's not within my division, but I can certainly pull some strings.
[26.05.2017 21:22:46] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: We have questions about your cargo.
[26.05.2017 21:22:54] Donald_Duck: Was ist los
[26.05.2017 21:23:10] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Where are you taking the H-Fuel?
[26.05.2017 21:23:15] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: And to whom?
[26.05.2017 21:23:22] Donald_Duck: wie kann ich helfen
[26.05.2017 21:23:39] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: ALG, do you understand this guy?
[26.05.2017 21:23:39] (TC)-Lee.Min-Young: What?
[26.05.2017 21:23:56] GPS-Sakhalin: well, I do
[26.05.2017 21:24:13] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: We need a translator. Either you or Sakhalin.
[26.05.2017 21:24:26] [ALG]-Schneesturm: Richter: Hrm. Also, so sieht es aus. Die TC wollen wissen wo die Fracht hin geht.
[26.05.2017 21:26:10] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: *Pulls out phrasebook* Wait... Bitte...?
[26.05.2017 21:26:24] [ALG]-Schneesturm: Richter: Jetzt bleib stehen und hoer mal zu!
[26.05.2017 21:26:43] Donald_Duck: Luxus Liner Mackinac
[26.05.2017 21:26:53] [ALG]-Schneesturm: Richter: Well, there's an answer?
[26.05.2017 21:27:02] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Alright... OS&C is good. He can go. Tell him not to run from us again.
[26.05.2017 21:27:26] (TC)-Lee.Min-Young: Very well.
[26.05.2017 21:27:28] (TC)-Lee.Min-Young: Off you go.
[26.05.2017 21:27:38] [ALG]-Schneesturm: Richter: Alles in Ordnung. Aber in Zukunft, du bist im Territorium der Gilde. Beachte ihre Anweisungen.
[26.05.2017 21:27:48] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Damn... Let's head back.
[26.05.2017 21:28:50] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Let's head for the Sigma-19 base.
[26.05.2017 21:29:00] [ALG]-Schneesturm: Richter: What sort of provincial doesn't understand standard Sirian? Shameful.
[26.05.2017 21:29:21] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Maybe it's his first time off planet.
[26.05.2017 21:29:40] GPS-Sakhalin: yea, surprised me too... was long ago since I last spoke German
[26.05.2017 21:29:56] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: You from Rheinland, Sakhalin?
[26.05.2017 21:30:09] [ALG]-Schneesturm: Richter: I will guess, an apprentice that got his first time permission to use the transport of his mentor.
[26.05.2017 21:30:18] GPS-Sakhalin: I lived there for some years as a child, yes
[26.05.2017 21:30:34] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Anyways, regarding our conversation from before...
[26.05.2017 21:30:52] [ALG]-Schneesturm: Richter: I will bring it up with the board of directors immediately.
[26.05.2017 21:31:03] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: I'll let my bosses know, too.
[26.05.2017 21:32:32] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Let's meet at the 13 hole.
[26.05.2017 21:34:44] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Let's head to the Honshu gate.
[26.05.2017 21:34:55] [ALG]-Schneesturm: Richter: Course set.
[26.05.2017 21:35:07] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: And let me check my sensors real quick...
[26.05.2017 21:35:08] (TC)-Lee.Min-Young: Setting waypoint.
[26.05.2017 21:35:30] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Explosive gas! Stay on your toes!
[26.05.2017 21:36:18] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: To Helgoland.
[26.05.2017 21:37:12] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: I've plotted a course for Sigma-21. May as well take another peek at the place.
[26.05.2017 21:37:28] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Follow me and watch the gas.
[26.05.2017 21:37:39] [ALG]-Schneesturm: Richter: That will not be an issue.
[26.05.2017 21:38:07] Death: (TC)-Lee.Min-Young was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[26.05.2017 21:38:22] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: Dammit... Patrols will recover the pod.
[26.05.2017 21:38:29] (TC)-Chloe.O'Brien: These fields are dangerous.
