Mr. Henderson,
One of our vessels was recently attacked by Corsairs in the Omega 3 system. One Mike Wegge came to their assistance and they escaped to dock at Alland Shipyard. It is hard to judge someone by a single encounter, however he as been of great assistance to us and I think he may well be a useful resource should your vessels require an escort in that area.
Sincerely,

thank you for contacting me about this matter. I have some questions because it is not entirely clear what happened from your report.
Do I understand it right that you were attacked by Corsairs and then a Hessian cruiser named Mike.Wegge decided to work together with the attacking Corsairs? If that is the case, I am interested in the material, as this is a highly unlikely combination. More intel would be welcome.
You are offering escort services and the IMG is happy to accept any offer of escorting. Piracy in the Omegas, Stuttgart and Frankfurt, Sigma areas has increased recently and countering it is a necessity.
Our standard payment for an escort is 2-4 million per ship that reaches the selling point. That's for ore runs. You can make quite some buck if you know what you are doing. We highly recommend the TeamSpeak-3 plugin to your ship, as we use it to directly communicate between scouts and lead transport, as well as close defense assets.
Good luck, Sir! Also feel free to contact me on the Sky-P3 protocol via my neuralnet profile to find ways to notify you of mining operations and convoys.

Jack,
Forgive me for being imprecise. I am aboard the yacht Sweet_Discord which is our corporate HQ. What information I have at the moment is secondhand.
Our mining vessel, Dublin_Banshee was attacked in Omega-3 by a Corsair pirate transport. Another vessel, Mike.Wegge distracted the Corsair long enough for our vessel to escape into cruise. The Corsair pursued and Capt. Molly O'Neill offered Mike.Wegge a fee for assistance in escaping, which he accepted. Dublin_Banshee made it safely to Alland Shipyard and reported the episode.
You say that Mike.Wegge is a Hessian. That is interesting. (Alas, Dublin_Banshee was out of cargo scan range, so our sensor logs are a tad vague on Mike.Wegge's identity.) He did, however, ask that his name be passed on to IMG as a potential escort. I can understand his assisting Capt. O'Neill as she is Dublin born and has an 'understanding' with the Mollies, but IMG as a whole? Most mysterious indeed.
Also, while we were not explicitly offering IMG our services, PanStellar's Security and Recovery division is always happy to have new customers. I will advise them of your most generous offer. Of course, it is always our policy to come to the aid of lawful vessels which are under attack. Please let your people know that if they see either Vindicta or Elysium's_Gate, they can call upon them for aid. Space is dangerous enough without giving free reign to piracy.
Sincerely,
Tomoe
PS: I recognize that Kusari names may be strange to you, but Tomoe is a woman's name. Just for the record.
