Good day Ma'ams and Sirs,
I think it is about time I sent you a copy of a report I made to BPA HC as it involved one of your Carriers.
We request that you have a talk with that Captain as firing on BPA Officers, in the course of their Duties, is in fact an Act of War. His reasoning as has left us bewildered.
See below for my report:
Good day Sir,
Earlier today Tator and I had an encounter with GMG in New London at approximately 0030. The ships were Lord Hackera (s Liberty Assault Carrier with Liberty Navy Papers) which turned out to be a Jump Ship, GMG|GTS Hakata Maru (a Barge with GMG Papers), Destiny Dragon (a Trade Ship with GMG Papers) and John Carter Serpico (a Trade Ship with Ageira Papers). The last two appeared to be the unloaders for the Barge.
We have noticed, recently, that GMG had already ‘jumped in’ to New London on three previous occasions, one of them being earlier in the evening. On these occasions we have not been able to sight them as they have jumped back home before we could intercept. Having checked the Data Base we had seen that their Jump Licence had expired, so we decided to find them and inquire to why they were breaking Bretonian Law.
They were located at D/E 4, in the lower half of the sector, about 40k below the plane. Dragon and Serpico were already in the process of unloading the Barge (this was how Tator had found the Jump Ship and Barge by back tracking the Traders when they arrived at Southampton).
There was also in the proximity an Order|CV Xana (a Gunboat with Order papers). This GB didn’t appear to be part of this group but merely there observing the operation.
Over the next few minutes Tator and I tried telling them that their Licence had expired and that they were contravening Bretonian Law by being there. They were insistent that their Licence was up to date. The Captain of the Lord Hackera seemed very insistent that we, the BPA, should have contacted them and told them that it had expired. I informed him that it wasn’t for us to ‘chase’ them but for them to make sure their paperwork was up to date.
The Captain of the Hakata Maru came across as very arrogant. He kept telling his unloaders to carry on with their unloading of his ship even when we told them to cease operations. In the end I told them if they carried on then I would destroy them.
At 0051 this order was given by the Captain of the Hakata Maru
To be fair the Captain of the Lord Hackera response was the correct one:
This is where I lost patience with these Law Breakers as they were being very obtuse and decided to bring this to a closure.
The Lord Hackera fled to Dublin and then into Edinburgh and this was the last recorded location of the ship. Shortly after this incident a GMG Papered VHF Akira Nagashi appeared at Southampton and asked if we could give him any information on what had transpired. I briefed him and told him that his Jump Ship was now in Edinburgh. I advised him that this was not a good state of affairs as the Gallics would hunt the Lord Hackera down if they found him in their space.
I have inserted portions of the recorded transcripts but I have a full copy if they are required.

Quote:[25.12.2013 00:45:00] GMG|GTS-Hakata.Maru: now continue unloading
[25.12.2013 00:45:01] Waldorf.Salad.: Hence if you check the Neural Records it has expired
[25.12.2013 00:45:50] Waldorf.Salad.: Sorry the Police don't have to do abnything. You require the Licence so hence you have to make contact for a new one
[25.12.2013 00:45:59] GMG|GTS-Hakata.Maru: i shack daytabase before we jump, all propertly, now continue unload cargo
[25.12.2013 00:46:21] Waldorf.Salad.: If those ships continue to move we will destroy them
[25.12.2013 00:46:33] Tator.Salad,: if you continue, you will be in violation of bretonia law
[25.12.2013 00:46:50] Waldorf.Salad.: So I suggest they come back here until we tell them they can move
[25.12.2013 00:46:53] Tator.Salad,: the barge will be the first tyarget
[25.12.2013 00:47:02] John.Carter.Serpico: we dont have fuel for jump how we jump for you?
[25.12.2013 00:47:02] GMG|GTS-Hakata.Maru: Licenze propertly, continue unload
[25.12.2013 00:47:24] Tator.Salad,: you are begging for it huh?
[25.12.2013 00:47:35] Waldorf.Salad.: So, Dragon or Serpico, which is going to be the first target?
At 0051 this order was given by the Captain of the Hakata Maru
Quote:[25.12.2013 00:51:25] GMG|GTS-Hakata.Maru: escort navy ship, take position on my back and activate weapons
To be fair the Captain of the Lord Hackera response was the correct one:
Quote:[25.12.2013 00:51:41] Lord.Hackera: Thats a negative sir
[25.12.2013 00:51:57] Lord.Hackera: I will not go into a fight with BPA
This is where I lost patience with these Law Breakers as they were being very obtuse and decided to bring this to a closure.
Quote:[25.12.2013 00:52:54] Waldorf.Salad.: Sorry GMG that was an act of war you asking for a Liberty Ship to fire on BPA OfficersWe then opened fire on the Barge. Lord Hackera and the two Trade Ships also then opened fire on us. Their combined fire was very ineffective as neither us suffered any damage. After a while the two Trade Ships left the area and a while later Lord Hackera also ran away. At 0113 the Hakata Maru was destroyed. The cargo was then also destroyed.
[25.12.2013 00:53:32] Waldorf.Salad.: You have 5 seconds to drop all cargo. Do you understand?
[25.12.2013 00:53:42] Waldorf.Salad.: 5
[25.12.2013 00:53:43] Lord.Hackera: at least we know what you want
[25.12.2013 00:53:49] Waldorf.Salad.: 4
[25.12.2013 00:53:55] John.Carter.Serpico: why now drop a cargo ?
[25.12.2013 00:53:55] Tator.Salad,: oh hell you made waldorf mad
[25.12.2013 00:53:59] Lord.Hackera: you only want $ fom us and free he3 ore
[25.12.2013 00:53:59] Waldorf.Salad.: 3
[25.12.2013 00:54:12] Order|CV-Xana: A: "Im...going to back this ship away..."
[25.12.2013 00:54:17] Tator.Salad,: your cargo wil;l be destroyed as well
[25.12.2013 00:54:28] Waldorf.Salad.: you told them to fire on us. I will destroy that cargo one way or the other
[25.12.2013 00:54:39] Waldorf.Salad.: 2
[25.12.2013 00:54:55] Waldorf.Salad.: are you going to comply?
[25.12.2013 00:55:13] Waldorf.Salad.: I will destroy you if necessary
[25.12.2013 00:55:28] Lord.Hackera: Why cuz he don'T want to give you free he 3?
[25.12.2013 00:55:41] Waldorf.Salad.: I don't want your Helium
[25.12.2013 00:55:45] Waldorf.Salad.: 1
[25.12.2013 00:55:47] Lord.Hackera: well you should
[25.12.2013 00:55:57] Tator.Salad,:
[25.12.2013 00:56:05] Lord.Hackera: cuz you are loosing the war with GALLIA

[25.12.2013 00:56:21] Waldorf.Salad.: scrap the Barge, Tator
