Transmission to all junker-aligned vessels

Salutations;

I will be brief on the matters at hand here.

The original topic at hand: Individual Rogue, Outcast, and Lane Hacker vessels are to be removed either directly or through a hired proxy if they are seen harming Junker vessels. Most of these bastards have used our bases in the past. Did they think we wouldn't hear about it? Did they think we wouldn't do anything? Mr. Thorn, we appreciate your informing us of this matter. Be assured that they will be dealt with; they appear to have made it a special point to not do this with Congress vessels around, let alone to Congress vessels. They do not understand that we operate for the good of all Junkers.

Legacy Junkers: Their actions have made them a detriment to our goals rather than an asset. They are outside our protection and representation. Mr. Mort, make necklaces of teeth of them if you have a mind to do so and you will hear no objection from me.

Taffic and McMillan: Taffic is the old Adjudicator, he has always been about Trafalgar. He has been in and out of the Congress and was a major player in its operation since before Founder Tinkerbell went public with its current incarnation. He would have been my first choice for heading up Bretonia operations all those years ago. In his absence I nominated McMillan, who has himself proven an excellent choice and deserving of the trust and responsibility involved. You two need to work together rather than snipe at each other; this is not a power struggle. You are assets to one another.

Taffic's Concerns: The Congress has changed in its designation. In older times matters were simpler. The Congress has come to be recognized as a unified body and is treated as such. Be assured that its expanded purpose is for the benefit of all Junkers, Congress and non-congress alike; with the exception of those who would undermine the standing and reputation of those who still seek to carve out a free living making use of what has been abandoned.

Mr. Thorn: The Junker with the 'MrUnusuall' subnet handle is young, but has proven his mettle, loyalty, and intelligence time and again. These are principles I would deem more important to serving our organization than sheer longevity. I will ask you to consider this when dealing with him again or I will start calling you names in turn. And people listen to me.

That is all. Play nice.

- Bishop
