Next up, the fighter/bomber kills:

Akihiro.Furukawa - GC Bomber - Decimated

Well, long story short, it was a long day of endless skirmish. Outcasts and what I swear was a young Kusari Woman were pushing and swarming the station all day long; of course, most of you probably saw that out the windows; in which case, I'd like to politely ask you why you didn't scramble some more fighters.

*sigh* Anyway... Reinforcements did come, but we took steady losses and just couldn't buckle the hull of a single one of those mouth-breathers. The Barrier was with me today, though. I was in the fight longer than anybody, and had a bit of a moment of glory when I was being pursued by four snubcraft at the same time.

Sorry about any collateral damage to Java Station in advance.

Anyway, here's some guncams of the whole debacle.

This is QuinnZai reporting in for the latest IMG Ship Hull Panel supply run to the IDF base in Tau-23 by the name of Seychelles.

"The proof is in the picture" of the 5 of us who made the runs:
IMG|Falling.Teardrop
IMG|Hearty.Endeavour
IMG|Midget.Magpie
IMG|Khaganas[R]
IMG|Totalizer[R]



I had joined the convoy late and only managed 1 load while the others had made a total of 3 each. It was a pleasant supply run on my part. I did however run into a Lane Hacker with a Special Operative ID, which posed no threat and was doing its own thing.

I am looking forward to supplying Seychelles again in the future.

I flew quite a lot the last days, but I made others write the reports. Clever, isn't it? One thing that I would like to add is the picture that I took when we helped supplying the new IDF base "Seychelles", located above Indochine base at the T31 gate.

I think this base is a good opportunity to increase our contact with the IDF again. In the past, our good standing with them have helped in handling problems with Gallia. So, I guess we will keep lending a hand here and there.

The Omegas are still quiet. The only development worth noticing is that Kruger| is back and that Freistadt sensors also picked up some of the old Kruger Vigilantes. There have been reports of their pirate wings attacking traders, but we have yet to confirm that.

Dennis here,

Well I have rather a large, em... load of convoys to file, so let's keep it concise, right?
Niobium manifests - 1 2 3 4 5 6 - starting at Java, passing Tsushima - 1 2 3 - and ending at New Berlin - 1 2 3 4
Silver loads *winks* - 1 2 3 4 - starting in Omega-3 - 1 2 3 4 5 -
Gold hauling - 1 2 - starting from the Hood and ending at Roppongi - 1 2 - under view of the KNF
Special missions:
A few transports of fuel and supplies to the Mollys at Arranmore
A bit more of the old Ship Hull Panel grinding, this time for Seychelles near the Gate Con- eh, Indochine.

It seems I am the only one who's been reporting the convoys I am in, other than today! Lazy buggers, or they're off doing 'research' about... sorry, for Julia. Plenty of scientific research, if the R&D section happens to have a sociology branch she'd be running the place by now. For the moment, she'll have to make do with... silver loads and Nomad models *winks*

By my counting of the convoys, that'll be me on 37 convoys and two 'smuggling' runs. Grand!

Kind regards,
Dennis Owens

It's Pearce, filing my paperwork,

Quite a few kills to count up, some of it in the Manta I've acquired to go along with the Moray bomber. The Taus have been rather busy to put it lightly.

First off, I managed to Lance a few of these Contari folk:
Rina Como - SNACed
Alessan Contari - another load of antimatter
Elaria Contari - worn down to self-destruction
Marco Santoro - a surprising Screamer-SNAC combo more so for him, mind.

Some others:
Noah Mendez - gunned down
"Nirvana" another self-mining Sabre
KenWhite - a Tridente with quite a dent, eh?
Orden's Shadow - assist kill alongside our wing
Jared Nomak - Samarran Sabre raked with my Hellfires

Since we've got the new paperwork system in, I've had:
3 escorts
7 caps destroyed
7 boats
11 snubs
6 of which were 'high-profiles' as we like to call them

For the Guild,
Eric Pearce

Claire reporting in,

A bit of paperwork to cover some actions, now that the bounties appear to have subsided for a moment. Let's get started
I oversaw two different Silver convoys to Harris, then up to the Taus. While I was up there, the Tridente Bad Boy Bas and SU27 both met their fates at the hands of our bomber wing. A group of ALG were actually quite handy rather than having to fly back to Falster alone, and a bit of pocket money helps too. Perhaps I can get some time to spend some of it...

The Taus weren't the only place to see some action, it appears a few Hessians really have been eating diamonds and trying to extort us rather violently in some sort of rage. Maybe the Rheinlanders are fighting them off so well they think that we are easy targets!
A gunboat RUDY tried to damage an Annapurna only to be taken out (much to the surprise of a nearby Kruger). There were also two bombers whose respective worlds were rather Roc-ed, after taking on our convoy at Falster.

Tallying up:
13 escorts
7 gunboat kills
5 snub kills
1 capital class kill
I think we'll call Bas a high profile as well.

Until next time,
Claire Owens

While hauling a shipment of Copper to Planet Kyushu I encountered a small group of Nomads in Omega 3. The trade lane had been disrupted, and there ships we on me without delay. At first I thought this was going to be a bad end to an other wise good day. As it happens they did not attack right away, and instead I was greeted by one of the Nomads in what I assume was a fighter. I must note here that there were three ships in all, one Fighter, One Gunboat I believe, and I think a Cruiser.

After some deciphering of there very alien language, it became apparent that they wished to ask me questions, and if I gave information I would be allowed to pass. There were three questions in all, and were as follows.

Question one was as to why I was hauling copper. Copper was called a shiny substance. I answered that I was a shipping vessel, and I carried supplies from one location to another.

Question two had to do with the use of trade lanes. This question was tricky to figure out. The Nomad talked of the use of exceleration, and the boundless time. The nomads seemed almost sad for us, that we must move so quickly.

Question three had to with the word "ELDER" and its meaning. I actually had to explain death in order to answer this one.

I can only assume my answers were deemed worthy, as I was allowed passage with no shots being fired. It is important for me to note here that my answers were currency in this encounter. I have no doubt that had my answers not satisfied the Nomads, I would not have left that system.

Had a bit of a ruckus around T-23 today. Some Outcasts showed up with one Storta destroyer and three Sabres. Also, one of the SR got in on the fun in yet another Sabre. At first it was limited to some skirmishing between one Sabre and a Spatial of ours. Then the Storta engaged, with rest of the Sabres drawn to the fighting later.
Enemy force

At first we had just me in my Wasupu plus one bomber and one Bottlenose. Pretty soon our bomber went down, not before he killed a Sabre with his SNAC though. With just me and Stalker left, we pulled back to Java where the fight continued. At this point our reinforcements started coming in. By the time I got MiniStryke (kill shot), we had gotten another Bottlenose and a bounty hunter fighter.

With the reinforcements we managed to drive the enemy back to Cali, killing one more Sabre. There the SR docked, leaving the destroyer alone against us. It blew up rather quickly, leaving us victorious for the day.

**** SENDER: Julia Morrow ****

**** TO: IMG Guildcomms ****

We did some reporting and it's my turn to file the reports again. We used the Dublin Gold Rush a little, but also jumped on the new Copper Rush. So our routes were a little different this time. Keeps things interesting, I guess.

We also did some deliveries of Optronics and other goods to Seychelles, the IDF base in Tau 23.

We also delivered some H-Fuel to the Molly base Arranmore, Dublin. No one was in range to see us.

This concludes my report.

I managed to intercept a Slave shipment yesterday with the Guardian Angel. The transport exploded and the slaves could be rescued by an IMG| Annapurna that had to fly twice because of the amount of poor souls.







A little later, a second IMG Defense group caught a Cardamine shipment and destroyed it, but they will report it themselves.

Quite some fighting in the Taus, even though the amount decreased because of our recent change in the RoE for the Taus.

Some activity hit the Omegas recently. The increased prices of Copper on the Sirian markets sparked some trouble. The H- group attacked IMG assets but could be repelled.

I would like to report the recent activities I have been involved in, in the IMG. It all started with a fellow IMG pilot suggesting that Fort Siloso was in need of Niobium Ore. So I headed out in my Shire while he did the mining. Thus prompting us to start up a convoy. We formed up and set out to New Berlin through Kusari, which proved to be painful for us as one of us was attacked by Hogosha NPC class ships which he defended himself from to later have our convoy told to be escorted out into Tau-23 for doing this by a KDS ship. We did as we were told and then made off through Bretonia to New Berlin.



No real issues the whole way until we made our way back to the Omegas. We encountered 2 Unioner bombers in Stuttgart which were cleaned up by the escorts Mia.Shiki and IMG|David.Wilkinson[R] and then when we arrived in Omega-7, 2 Freelancer Roc bombers engaged us. I got the kills with my Black.Fang but it was all thanks to our team work in taking them down.



I must have lost the other two confirmed kill reports in the commotion but I'm sure David will have recorded his confirmed kill however.
All in all, convoy was a success, no casualties on our side. A long one but still a good one.

Got two other Outcast Sabre kills in Tau-23 to report on a completely separate note.

TO: IMG│ HQ Command
FROM: Independent IMG Affiliate Captain Alamo
DATE: 24 April 820 A.S.
SUBJECT: General Inquirey

Greetings,

Several weeks ago I submitted an application to the IMG│ Recruitment Channel. I will spare the details, however, I would like to inquire if any IMG│ personnel on this channel would be able to clarify if the Recruiting department will be reviewing any of the latest applications any time soon. I have noted several recent additions that must have been 'in field' recruits, with no corresponding applications for certain new members.

As an addendum, I would also like to inquire about seeking docking rights at Fort Siloso. Myself and a few colleagues regularly mine nobium ore in Tau-23 and ship it out to the Colorado System. Use of the Fort as a nearby safe haven or to sell the ore there would be very useful to us. If anyone could direct me to get more information on the acceptable use of Siloso, and how to achieve clearance to dock, it would be very much appreciated.

Kind regards,

Captain Alamo of the (IMGBC) Daedalus
