I want to report to you about a nice little encounter with the IMG. Some of our Sisters asked me to organize some Whisky for them if we come across some ships in the Tau´s. After a Week Long Patrole, we were sadly not Lucky to encounter any ships with the Good Dublin Whisky. After all, we have some Certain Standards to uphold, so we should use nothing but the best. Even for a Experimental Batch of Whisky-Shige. So we decided that rather than waiting for it, we would simply get the Whisky straight from the Source. With this, we could give our sisters what they needed to experiment with a new Branch of Whisky-Shige.
As we approached Arranmore, we encountered several IMG Ships. It was a Large Convoy of around 4 to 5 Ships. Most of them were Transport. But they also had a Fighter with them for escort. They had, of course, many Questions about the Kakumei, but that's what people always have when they see my Destroyer. They said they would React Hostile to us if I had some Shige on board. But I told them that we respect the Laws and Rules of our Molly Friends. And that we sell our Shige mostly in Liberty. That seemed to calm them. Looks like the IMG won't become Loyal Customers soon.
But at least the Encounter did end without Violence and we got a nice full load of Shige. On the way Back we met Sister Misaki, and she escorted us back home to KKJ. It was lovely to have her as my escort and to fly the last Leg of our journey with her. After we offloaded the Whisky, we went on a nice little patrol with Sister Misaki and had some more fun.

[18.01.2026 20:26:12] GC-Kakumei: Eri: you want some Miners?
[18.01.2026 20:26:24] IMG|Wildcat-83: We got plenty of miners here.
[18.01.2026 20:26:24] IMG|Niagara: Claire: Want some of what?
[18.01.2026 20:26:27] IMG|Reed: Reed: With the hold full of Whiskey.
[18.01.2026 20:26:44] GC-Kakumei: Eri: well its the good Stuff. Our folks love it.
[18.01.2026 20:26:48] IMG|Niagara: Claire: What is this about? Bringing a warship into Dublin?
[18.01.2026 20:27:17] IMG|Wildcat-83: Hmm if Tommy sold those girls the whiskey... Maybe... Surely...
[18.01.2026 20:27:30] IMG|Wildcat-83: Hey who did you get that from on the base?
[18.01.2026 20:27:32] GC-Kakumei: Eri: well we were in the Area and thought we come by to restock the bar back home.
[18.01.2026 20:28:05] IMG|Niagara: Claire: In a destroyer? Damn. Reed, we gotta step up our game.
[18.01.2026 20:28:07] GC-Kakumei: Eri: we like the Mollys, Freedome Fighters have to stick together.
[18.01.2026 20:28:29] IMG|Wildcat-83: I think they just want to appear dangerous so the whiskey is on discount.
[18.01.2026 20:28:33] GC-Kakumei: Eri: well we were on a Patrole in the Taus so it wasnt that far of a Deetour.
[18.01.2026 20:28:40] IMG|Niagara: Claire: If you brought any of your filthy Cardamine juice here, your trade trip ends early.
[18.01.2026 20:29:21] GC-Kakumei: Eri: *laughs* usualy we take Gold. But my Sisters want to try to make Shige with Whisky instead of Sake. So here we are.
[18.01.2026 20:29:53] IMG|Niagara: Claire: So you want to spread more Cardamine. Likely even to our allies.
[18.01.2026 20:30:11] IMG|Niagara: Claire: Reed, I really think this thing is going to be a problem.
[18.01.2026 20:30:17] GC-Kakumei: Eri: oh no we usualy have our Customers in Liberty. We dont break the rules of the Molly.
[18.01.2026 20:30:40] IMG|Wildcat-83: Nice. So who's the guy you got the whiskey from? I need a name.
[18.01.2026 20:31:05] RooiKat: " Greetings !"
[18.01.2026 20:31:13] IMG|Niagara: Claire: Hello Freelancer.
[18.01.2026 20:31:47] GC-Kakumei: Eri: hmm...Ian...or was it Jacob? i mean it was just a Trader. I just asked around who had some Surplus.
[18.01.2026 20:32:10] IMG|Wildcat-83: Bloody useless... Ah well thank you for your cooperation. I'll let my companions entertain you further.
[18.01.2026 20:32:34] GC-Kakumei: Eri: well its not like we are a Regular here.
[18.01.2026 20:32:43] IMG|Wildcat-83: Evidently if you're buying from Jacob.
[18.01.2026 20:32:54] GC-Kakumei: Eri: why that?
[18.01.2026 20:32:57] IMG|Wildcat-83: Personal advice, water it down. Just do it.
[18.01.2026 20:33:04] Blackguard: Eww.
[18.01.2026 20:33:07] IMG|Wildcat-83: He sells off the rubbing whiskey to newcomers.
[18.01.2026 20:33:24] GC-Kakumei: Eri: i see. i will inform my sisters acordingly.
[18.01.2026 20:33:39] IMG|Wildcat-83: Good. Always mindful of a lady's health, personally.
[18.01.2026 20:33:59] IMG|Niagara: Claire: Mhm.
[18.01.2026 20:34:28] GC-Kakumei: Eri: oh were are my manners. I am Eri Amaririsu, its nice to meet you.
[18.01.2026 20:34:52] GC-Kakumei: sure can do.
[18.01.2026 20:34:57] IMG|Wildcat-83: I'm John Miner. Nice to meet you. It's an alias but it will have to do.
[18.01.2026 20:35:22] IMG|Wildcat-83: So foreman, do we let miss Eri and her exotic companions walk or what's the play here?
[18.01.2026 20:35:52] GC-Kakumei: Eri: well its not my real name either.
[18.01.2026 20:36:09] IMG|Wildcat-83: You can call yourself whatever you want, lady.
[18.01.2026 20:36:14] IMG|Reed: Reed: We are guests in this part of the system so let's not be rude to our host the RPA.
[18.01.2026 20:36:15] IMG|Wildcat-83: I won't judge.
[18.01.2026 20:36:36] IMG|Wildcat-83: Alright. Foreman lets you walk, miss not-Eri. Fair skies and enjoy the whiskey.
[18.01.2026 20:36:41] IMG|Niagara: Claire: Mhm. Fine. But this thing will be a problem for us later. Mark my words.
[18.01.2026 20:37:07] IMG|Niagara: Claire: If I see you in the Taus you will not be walking again.
[18.01.2026 20:37:17] IMG|Reed: Reed: If this was near the Hood it would have been a different story
[18.01.2026 20:37:24] IMG|Niagara: Claire: Let's move.
[18.01.2026 20:37:27] GC-Kakumei: Eri: arrigato. But i doubt a bunch of Transports and a Heavy Fighter could Endanger my Beloved Kakumei. Not that i intended to-
[18.01.2026 20:37:40] IMG|Sapphire: You might be surprised.
[18.01.2026 20:37:41] Blackguard: Whatever.
[18.01.2026 20:37:45] GC-Kakumei: --fight you. We dont Shoot at Transports if they dont give us a reason
[18.01.2026 20:37:47] IMG|Niagara: Claire: Do you wanna find out?
[18.01.2026 20:37:53] IMG|Wildcat-83: Spicy! Let her have her pride. *laughs*
[18.01.2026 20:37:54] IMG|Sapphire: It would not be the first time an IMG convoy took down a cruiser.
[18.01.2026 20:38:14] GC-Kakumei: Eri: na everyday were we dont fire our guns in anger is a good day.
[18.01.2026 20:38:26] IMG|Reed: Reed: Do not poke the hive you will be stung.
[18.01.2026 20:38:37] IMG|Niagara: Claire: You better start counting your good days. Make sure this one does not turn bad.
[18.01.2026 20:38:55] GC-Kakumei: Eri: of course the same counts for the GC. Have a safe Flight Miners.
