Encrypted transmission to the Colonial Remnant

//Right, to start, this is in RP, so if the official faction is in Omega 49 a lot, or not always in Tau 23, that doesn't mean there are no ships there at all. In RP it is our most populated system.

I'll ignore everyone except the last transmitter, as he is the first to actually make me think.

This reads as your 'fine' Guild is allowing bretonian Forces to activily hunt Colonial Republic Forces within the Tau territories.
We could take that as an offense, even if there is stated your Guild claims 'neutrality', I have read something different from yours regarding that.... let me send you a copy:

I have said this once, if not a hundred times, we do not care about your damned quarrels. All we said was that we will not fight in your war.

Also, yes, I said we don't let them hunt your Civilians.

The definition of a Civilian is as thus:

1. a person who is not on active duty with a military, naval, police, or fire fighting organization.

Hmm, well, if your military fly around in your military ships, in my eyes they are not civilians, and as such, what I said applies: "We don't give damn about your petty squabbles."

No wars you brought into the Taus? Again, you just allowed the Bretonians to openly operate against the Colonial Republic in the Taus.
Also you 'claim' the Colonial Forces still to be 'your' main protection Force in the Taus... well, then why by god are you bringing a Force openly hostile to our Republic next to our doorstep?
Do you think we havent been busy enough to keep the Outcasts away from your Guilds miners?

Fair enough, perhaps I was slightly wrong to say that. You say we "allow" the Bretonians to operate in Tau space, but by your own confession, we don't own the Taus, so surely the Bretonians being there is not our choice, but theirs. We just don't fight them, nor you, nor the Kusarians.

So the Bretonian Parliament attests your Guild to have 'full ownership rights' over the already discovered and all undiscovered mining fields within the Taus? Right? It is written there, so I guess you have.

A fast reminder of what you said:

"True, noone does have the right to claim the Tau's as their space. Funny thing is, noone has claimed them. Oh wait, you did, and even then you only claimed one system."

So your Guild 'claimed' all the mining fields within the Taus. And doesnt the control of the valuable ressources covered by the ownage of stations litteraly state 'ownership'?
Also I might remind you of Tau-39, which your Guild 'claimed' as their guarded home system, so dont argue with the fact the Colonial Republic 'claimed' Tau-44.

That merely means that in the BRETONIANS eyes, the fields belong to us. Are you miners? Why do you care about the mining fields? "And doesnt the control of the valuable ressources covered by the ownage of stations litteraly state 'ownership'?" No, it doesn't.

I also never argued with you claiming Tau 44, you are welcome to it. It is your system, and we don't mind, nor care that you have it. Where have I said I cared about Tau 44 belonging to you?

Well, I would call a 'Pact' with several 'Articles' and 'Clauses' which covers your own Guilds security a 'Threaty'. You are nickpicking words for your own advantage.

That's what an argument is.

I will make for you a summary:

- The IMG seems now to be a 'friend' with the BMM which are deeply involved in Bretonias diplomatic matters.

- The IMG is openly allowing the enemies of the Colonial Republic to operate in the Taus against the Republics Forces, yet the Guild still wants Colonial Forces to protect their traders.

- The IMG 'claimed' Tau-39.

- The IMG sends the adjudant of a R&D Division to insult the Colonial Republic.

...And as a last, what I havent stated above, but what you several times repeated:

- The IMG revoked the Colonial Republics docking rights with their stations, namely Holman, Java and Falkland.

- We are not friends with the BMM, they are commercial and disgusting mass miners.

-We have never asked you to protect our traders.

- You claimed Tau 44.

- You have the nerve to have a go at me for talking to you, as the second in command of the IMG, while your president or even your second in command has yet to appear.

- True, because you were using them as staging points for attacking people, which would make our bases a target, something we do not want to happen.

Also, for some reason I believe all your Forces are somewhere in Omega-49 collecting rare materials for your Guilds profit, so you can sit back in your comfortable chairs and laugh at the Colonials doing the 'guard duty' in the Taus.
That could also be the reason, seen as to be able to get them back into the Taus you need to pass bretonian territory, for the IMG's lately with the Bretonians shared opposition against the Colonial Republic.
Maybe, maybe not.

***REPORT FOR SYANA KYAN: DIRECTOR OF TRADING, MINING AND R&D***
***REPORT START:***
***MINERS IN THE TAUS OVER THE LAST 4 WEEKS: 342 MINERS REPORTED***
***MINERS IN THE OMEGAS OVER THE LAST 4 WEEKS: 154 MINERS REPORTED***
***MINERS IN OTHER SYSTEMS: 24 MINERS REPORTED***

***24 DEFENCE PATROLS IN THE OMEGAS***
***9 TRADERS IN THE OMEGAS***
***34 TRADERS IN THE TAUS***
***FLEET STATUS: CLASSIFIED***
***REPORT ENDS***

I think that shows how active we are in the Taus.

Anyways, I guess you got what you wanted, we will stay 'out of your business' and let the Outcasts do 'their business' with your miners.
I say, Enjoy.

Oh, I nearly forgot: You may excuse that the Colonial Republic had taken steps to ensure 'their' safety, likely as your Guild did with the Bretonians.

I would here rephrase one of your own statements:
"Also, we never made a treaty with the Kusari. All we did was pass some simple agreements that benefited us both,..."

I shall respond to this point once our leadership has decided on an important issue.

Good day, you have earned my respect "Disorder". The others have yet to earn it. Please, do come back.
