Subject : Cease-fire termination

Transmission Begins:

It has come to our attention that you have broken the cease-fire. You engaged a RoS wing in 23 while we were engaged with the CR. Not only that, but one ASF-Thunderbolt engaged the {SOB}Skull-N-Bones. This is intolerable. All good things must come to an end, gentlemen. We suggest getting your next-of-kin to a suitable executor.

RE: Ceasefire

To Whom It May Concern:

I have no knowledge of a ceasefire between IMG and any Outcast organization. Given that RoS vessels were involved over the weekend in hostilities against IMG vessels, I would say they acted first.

Also, I have no knowledge of this ASF-Thunderbolt, or why you would associate him with our Guild.

I suggest you check your information - and provide some evidence - before you act.


Barrington out.

Now look each of us in the eyes and honestly say you knew nothing of a battle between many Outcasts and certain Guild members with =CR= allies.

I have already indicated awareness of the battle this weekend in Tau 23, especially since I was present at it. I watched as RoS vessels lined up with other Outcast forces to do battle against us. That is not in dispute.

What is in dispute is (1) whether there was, in fact, some sort of ceasefire preceding that engagement and (2) whether the Guild is responsible for every independent who of their own volition obtains an IMG transponder.

The obvious answer to both of these is "no." First, if you wish to engage IMG in hostilities, why put up the pretense of a ceasefire violation? You attack us at will anyway, so why attempt to make your move here look more legitimate than it really is?

Second, neither you nor we can control who obtains our transponders, and given the vessel in question was not callsigned according to our organization - nor do we use battlestars - you really have nothing to say to us in the matter.

Good day.


Barrington out.
