Status Report from Dublin:
Things are not good. Not good at all. So let's get to the point of it:
IAB and BAF have never cooled down really since the ore-destruction act of vandalism. Their involvement was pushed for by BMM and fueled by vigilantes and covert operations aimed against IMG. We avoided many traps but were caught in some. This has lead to bad consequences.
The IMG in Dublin, especially me, are under heavy pressure by the IAB especially. I forward to you the reaction to the A-55 trap that we stepped into, so you can make a picture of the dire situation at the moment.
This has added the last straw to a tense situation and we need to react in Dublin.
IMG operations have been trheatened openly and I'm not willing to risk being restricted to our Zone of Influence, which would be the logical next step. We would be forced to move more towards the Molly part, thus widening the gap in the diplomatic relations with Bretonia. It would be the start of a bad development that can't be good for IMG in Dublin.
To avoid that, I would like all IMG pilots in Dublin to do the following:
[color=#FF9966]
Stay out of any trouble that could potentially provoke another incident.
Be extremely careful when provoked by BMM or Bretonian Authorities. Do not get drawn into an incident.
Only engage in hostilities with Vigilantes or Troublemakers with sufficient proof that they are the reason of trouble, not we. We must be the one attacked, not the perpetrator.
Behave politely towards authorities, allies and neutral parties, especially IAB, BAF, Mollys. They all are angry at us for some reason or the other.
Keep the Reavers at distance. Shout at them, tell them off, threaten them from our Hood base but do not attack (their presence is a huge problem for the Mollys, but they are a valuable tool not to be wasted).
Be careful what you are photographed at. There are spies out there listening to what we say, scrutinizing our every move. Don't let them catch you doing something wrong. Keep secret talk to secret and secure channels.
Prove to Bretonian Authorities that we are helpful and thus make them see that they have a view that is biased towards the BMM. Therefore collect evidence on our good deeds (e.g. coop with BAF against Corsairs, raids against pirates, etc.). I want some positive press.
Okay, this is all I can think of.
If you have further ideas that you find helpful, throw them in here. I cam glad for any support at the moment.
