.:j:. JUNKER CONGRESS MESSAGE DUMP

[worldstrider]

Captain Crow,

Thank you for your timely report.

This is simply a punctuation mark as to why we need a full diplomatic solution in Sigma 13. This isn't about a single faction's desires.

I am aware right now that within the past week, das Wilde targeted Junker pilots at Kruezberg Depot--specifically looking for ship building engineers. Many pilots were taken relatively unopposed while we were distracted by the situation in Sigma 13.

Within the same time period, three Phantom pilots parked their ships in asynchronous, high orbit above Yanagi's ecliptic and shuttled down to the station so as to monitor traffic and mark targets in Sigma. Our intel tells me they were delighted with these ease they were able to operate in the area--so much for vaunted "blockade fleets".

We also have several security alarms indicating a possible station visit by a Wild pilot. DNA scanners were tripped on multiple occasions but portable sniffers could not locate any infected.

So we await word from the other interested parties so as to develop a solution for the stability of Sigma 13.

The bounty hunters have no authority to attack pilots in Sigma 13 who have recovered Wild--all our ships are authorized to collect bounties and extensive training and quarantine procedures are in place for handling decontamination and personnel screening.

We will see how the week progresses.

Arbiter Vladimir Tinkerbell
