.:j:. JUNKER CONGRESS MESSAGE DUMP

[Rudo]

COMM ID: Junker Guard Vessel Caveat Emptor
SUBJECT: Mercenary profiling

Greetings Fellow Junkers;

My studies and reports from skirmishes, including a nearly-successful ambush on the Caveat Emptor herself have turned up three names:

Halberd.of.Death
- Mercenary
- Taiidan Bomber
- Favors Corsair-produced 'Cid' pulse cannons

Takeo_Sasaki
- GMG-sponsored Mercenary
- Taiidan Bomber
- Compiled prototype weaponry including Razor and Supernova Antimatter Cannons.

These two work in tandem for a 1-2 punch and strike sans prior warning, relying on the element of surprise.

The.Mighty.Quinn
- Yet another bomber
- Will flee and force docking with any base he can to evade capture or termination.

Said pilots also talk in odd code, such as 'El Oh El' and 'Colon-D' when they can even be troubled to express intent.

We are also tracing sources of payment through proxy connections -- curiously, little or no funds have changed hands towards these pilots' accounts as of yet. We suggest plying our contacts, to see if these are simply not opposing interests in Kusari working incognito with hacked registration to keep their own hands clean. Enough people everywhere owe us enough favors, we should start calling them back.

Combat advice based on personal experience is to avoid engaging with large craft. They hunt our compiled capitals specifically and shy away from exposing any elements that may generate losses on their own. Don't be foolish; don't risk funds and personnel where you don't need to.

Additional advice: use the actions of these mercenaries as propaganda material -- few things are more injurous to a Kusarian than the loss of his honor. And the actions of the men they've chosen to strike at us from the shadows are extremely dishonorable indeed.

Stay smart, stay alert, stay alive.
- Congressman Hannibal Bishop
