PRIORITY:High ENCRYPTION:High IDENTIFICATION:Polizeidirektorin Laura Carsten SOURCE:RFP Direktorium Büros, Brandenburg Base SUBJECT:Threatening message to the base in Rheinland space
Guten Tag, Admiral Linford.
Given the current situation and circumstances in the Bering system, I could understand why would be so important for Separatist forces to get information regarding the owner or even access to the newly constructed unidentified base as soon as possible, even by using a threat. However, it is still a violation of the Rheinland laws, because you do not hold any authority to make such demands in the Rheinland space where the base in question is located. Hence my questions, which are part of the investigation of your message, or precisely you personally because you were the person who sent it.
But back to the matter itself. The mentioned reasons may explain the demands, except for the fee of 50 million credits. Thus I would like to hear the explanation how is it related to them or justified. I ask because your statement and demands look like a violation of the paragraph 2.3.1. of the Article Two of the Rheinland laws, which state that "piracy is described as performing or attempting to perform actions such as the disruption of trade lane rings, and/or an extortion for sums of money, equipment, cargo or personnel in exchange for the immediate or future safety of the target of the said actions".
Apart from that, would like to ask if you have any other photographs of the base taken later than the one you sent me already, or if your patrols made any more checks of the base and if so, if you can provide me with the reports or logs from it.
