Evening Captain.
Your actions in Liberty Space last night have been reviewed and the following consequences decided I.A.W the Laws of the Republic of Liberty. Your behavior was deemed to be in violation of Section One, Part 4, contained below.
Quote:[color=#66FFFF]Fleeing from an officer when stopped.
This is defined as fleeing any officer when he or she is attempting to question you. If an officer stops you using a cruise disruptor, that is an expression of his or her will to stop you. Ignoring this is a crime.
Consequently, the following will be imposed.
Quote:
The.Ace.Of.Spades is to [color=#FFFFFF]depart Liberty Space
, and record evidence of having done so over this channel. The ship, and its crew are barred from the territories of the Republic of Liberty, with the exception of Cortez, until such a time as advised otherwise over this channel.
A 5.000.000SC fine will be paid to Ferris.Dufresne of the Liberty Treasury and proof of payment broadcast over this channel.
Failure to adhere to the above conditions within 48 hours from the time of transmission will result in the forfeiture of your vessel to Liberty Authorities and, if need be, its destruction.
Let me make this clear, Captain. When a Naval vessel tells you to stop, you do not take the fact that you have not yet been charged as an excuse to ignore directives. You are not special. You are not unique. These laws apply to every ship that enters Libertonian space, regardless of designation. If I receive word of your vessel in Liberty again, you'll be having this conversation from your escape pod.
The relevant report has been made available to you.
I do realize my mistakes yet, You never did answer me, So why should i answer you?
I do wish to not be fired on from your troopers for just taking the Tradelane to Manhattan But,
Fine has been paid
Proof will be provided if necessary
// its 1 am and im tired
Final words and quotes -
[17.06.2012 01:48:52] Ace.Of.Spades: Hell, You see Liberty is the basic Middle of Sirius
[17.06.2012 01:49:29] Ace.Of.Spades: Its free here, Also my home system is only 3 systems over
[17.06.2012 01:49:43] Ace.Of.Spades: California>Cortez>Coronado
[17.06.2012 01:50:03] [LN]-LLS-Clearwater: Hartman: Relevant as all that is, you still haven't told me why you're sitting in Manhattan orbit at this very moment.
[17.06.2012 01:50:17] Muheeb: what's the story?
[17.06.2012 01:50:20] Ace.Of.Spades: Because your questioning me?
[17.06.2012 01:50:36] Muheeb: Nevada?
[17.06.2012 01:51:00] [LN]-LLS-Clearwater: Hartman: Don't play coy, Captain.
[17.06.2012 01:51:10] Ace.Of.Spades: Now Clearwater, Are you charging me with a crime?
[17.06.2012 01:51:36] [LN]-LLS-Clearwater: Hartman: I asked for your intentions. You've given me an update on the geopolitical situation.
[17.06.2012 01:51:55] Ace.Of.Spades: Ill ask again, Are you charging me with a crime?
[17.06.2012 01:52:06] [LN]-LLS-Clearwater: Hartman: If you'll kindly answer the question, Captain.
The possession of some small ships is illegal in Liberty. Small ships are classified as gunboats or anything below such as freighters and fighters. This most commonly applies to Freelancers and Mercenaries. The list is as follows:

Hartman here.
[color=#CCCCCC]I didn't answer your question, Captain, because the answer was dependent on what you told me. I cannot accept the presence of a military asset in Liberty purely on the grounds that it does not directly violate Liberty's laws. As with any other military craft that strayed into our space, an explanation as to what you're doing here is essential if you have any intention of remaining within Liberty's borders. Secondly, I am under no legal obligation to answer your questions when you fail to provide me with the most basic of information. If a ship belonging to a foreign power turns up in Liberty, without an explanation, we are well within our rights to assume hostile intent. In light of the reforms within the Colonial Republic recently, I chose not to do so.
On that note, I fail to see how the laws you've quoted are at all pertinent here. As I said in orbit, I do not have an issue with your ship type or ties to the Colonial Republic at this point in time. What I do have an issue with was your failure to comply with lawful directives, up to and including firing cruise disruptors at military officers. I don't care who does it; that's an attack on my my officers and, so help me, I'll respond to it.
And yes, as stated in the original transmission, proof of payment will be required over this channel.

Evening Captain.
Payment's been received at our end. Your co-operation so far has been noted and appreciated; however, there's one more repercussion that still needs to be dealt with.

The 48 hour time span has well since passed, so I expect that your ship and her crew are now outside the boundaries of Liberty. That being said, I still need confirmation of that fact. Should the situation change, I'll contact you over this channel.
