.:j:. JUNKER CONGRESS MESSAGE DUMP

[TFinnegan]

*Bridge of the Wake*
*Vieques dockyards, Puerto Rico*

Congressmen
Today was a dire day indeed.

An open attack on our soverign system of Puerto Rico by, of all things, an pair of independent warships and a traitorous Junker.

We were notified of system incursion by the automated defense systems as a Spyglass class Lane Hacker battleship flown by an unknown independent crossed our jumphole sensor array.

-There, the VR-VCS-Metropolis of the former Vagrant Raiders who are thought destroyed and scattered was met by the Rogue Scylla, the Maelstrom, captained by Evangeline McDowell, and her lapdog, Billy.Xae, a Junker who obviously gives his fealty to Eva over the well being of his fellow Junkers.

-They were confronted by myself onboard the Wake, while other Congress troops made muster and headed towards 'Rico at best speed.

-The Metropolis was asked to vacate the system as Puerto Rico law clearly does not allow non-Junker warships in soverign space.
-Aside from this vessels refusal to budge, The slug-like captain of the Maelstrom issued threats of attacking everything in the system, and attempting to take it over.
-Her Junker lackey, Billy.Xae, when pressed, refused to work in the interests of all Junkers everywhere who would like a free and safe system, and sided with the agressors against our homeland.

-All this while our numbers swelled, Junker and Congress craft poured into Puerto Rico, but alas, we are workers and scrappers, smugglers and traders, not warlords, and our utilitarian hardware was no pairing against the naked agression of these hardened war vessels in our space.

-After a number of threats, both specific and vague were issued by the collected invaders at the assembled Congress fleet, The Maelstrom opened fire upon the weakest of our fleet, the working-class Salvagers, destroying two of them in short order.
-Those who could, made to escape to Vieques and Arecaibo, as well as the Texas and Humboldt jumpholes, or engaged in earnest, knowing full well thier effort was futile, but necessary in the face of such insolence and invasion.

*Stares hard into the screen*
These war crimes can not stand, Congressmen. They are rooted in the purest evil and arrogance.
However, we have not the hardware nor the intent to wage an all-out war against terrorists who stand boldly inside a protected Guard system and attack it's inhabitants.

*starts ticking off fingers*
This Junker traitor, Billy.Xae needs to be brought up for tribunal, preferably in chains or dead.
Evangeline McDowell, the Maelstrom, and all McDowell company craft need to be banned from ANY access to ANY of our assets at ANY time, and my suggestion would be to follow suit with the VR-VCS=Metropolis.

Wake out.
