It seems that a new source of trouble breeds across the Sigmas. This time, a Junker vessel flying a Pilgrim Liner, under the name of CVS-Cristobal, tried to pirate the Karaji Maru as it was mining in the Helium-3 field in Sigma-59. However, thanks to my quick reflexes, the Junker was unable to catch the vessel and I managed to dock at Iejima Station just as a cruise disruptor was about to hit the vessel's engines.
[01.05.2023 10:11:30] CVS-Cristobal: ?:Hoooowdy there
[01.05.2023 10:11:51] GMG|Karaji.Maru: What exactly do you want?
[01.05.2023 10:12:02] CVS-Cristobal: ?:Why in such a hurry?
[01.05.2023 10:12:12] GMG|Karaji.Maru: Do tell me you Junker wanted to pirate us?
[01.05.2023 10:12:37] CVS-Cristobal: ?:Y'all stop them engines and have a lil' chat with ol' me about the good work I'ma doin 'ere. It'll be a tiny moment
[01.05.2023 10:12:44] CVS-Cristobal: ?:I'ma ask you once only, y'all behave and stand still. If ya run, the righteuos fire will strike you down, righto?
[01.05.2023 10:13:03] 2023-05-01 10:13:03 SMT Traffic control alert: GMG|Karaji.Maru has requested to dock
Despite this setback, a few hours later, the Karaji Maru continued its usual business of filling Iejima Station with 30,000 units of Helium-3, ready to be shipped to other destinations as per usual Guild protocol to enterprising traders.
While the Gas Miners Guild seeks to defend the rightful Sigma Systems from factions such as the Corsairs, Outcasts, Hogosha, Farmers Alliance, Rheinland Military (and the BDM), and even the infectees known as the "Wild", it would be unusual to see a Junker actively threatening Guild interests. Even so, they must be regarded as a possible new threat to our operations.
Let this be known that the Guild is always aware of any new threat, expected or unexpected.
