I think you misunderstand. I mean only to protect your rights to continue your salvage operations. I’m actually quite surprised by the response to date. I was sure the GMG would want us in their corner on this one. They really don’t seem to care what we do. It leaves me wondering how much forethought went into this. In any case, I would ask nothing less of you than you continue your operations as usual. Do whatever you need to do to provide for yourself and your family. If anyone in Sigma 13, GMG or otherwise tries to stop you from doing that please let me know. We Junkers do need to stick together.
Thank you for the clarification and for your clear support for our legitimate operations in the Sigma-13 system. Please let me know if there is anything we can do to help.
While this channel is open, do you suppose that there is any way the Junkers could start negotiating with the new Kusari government about opening up relations somewhat? It seems that the current regime is not as cozy with the Hogosha as the old one. Perhaps we can use our Gallic connections to "encourage" the Kusari government to throw us a bone in light of their defeat at the hands of the Royal Navy. I would be glad to initiate this process if the Congress has its hands full - there may be some good business opportunities for the Junkers now that half the Hogosha are locked up and the Farmer's Alliance is on life support. Just a thought.

Well, I was born and raised on Planet Denver so as far as having a “Gallic connection”….um yeah. I do understand what you are saying though and I do realize that the man who brought me into this organization does trace his roots back to a Gallic family. That being said, we’ve been down that road. The Gallics don’t want to deal with Sirian Junkers unless we are willing to dance and become stooges in their court again. Good luck with that if it’s what you want. Personally, I think you’ll have better luck with the GMG.
I will be keeping in touch about the Sigma 13 situation though as there is much we can do to help each other. I have recently been contacted by a number of independent Junkers who also wish to help.
