SUBJECT: Re: Restricted cargo license
Guten Tag, Sehr geehrte Chief Burton.
You are right that we demand much more strict security measure comparing to usual cargo shipping standards. We are not talking hier about some common legal cargo though, but a substance of Nomad origin which as far as we are informed can be used among other things for production and deployment of the highly effective hybrid weaponry with massive destructive power. And you plan to transport this cargo in lightly armed and lightly armoured transports which on top of that would be accompanied only by escort which I would also call light because you propose that up to almost 15 thousand cargo units of Azurite Gas would be guarded by only a single fighter class escort ship or even just one light fighter class scout. I cannot imagine how one fighter would be able to protect or at least provide space for escape for three transport ships in case of ambush by a gunboat or even a capital ship.
And by the way, you are not exactly "doing business with Rheinland" in this case, you are doing business with The Core and merely just want to transport mentioned special cargo through our whole territory what brings certain security risks in exchange for quite small benefits to the Bundesrepublik.
Also, it seems you think you are entitled to get the recommendations of trustworthiness and the restricted cargo license for the Azurite Gas. You are not. Bundespolizei is hier to examine the circumstances and conditions and then decide if everything suits our safety and security demands or not. But we have full right to not give the recommendations or the license. And trust me, most applicants would not get it, so you were given privilege due to the reputation and status of your corporation already. Either you have to accept what we require or try your luck with some other Rheinland law enforcement authority just as the regulations say if you think you are treated unfairly and with bias by us.
Now that I explained the situation fully, at least I hope, we can return to the issue of security measures. Like I outlined, our demand is a result of an equation where all circumstances take their part. If some of them change, the result may change as well. It can be minimal armour used by your transports. Or the class of ships used for the escort. Or the type of transport ships. Speaking of which, I realize now that I actually did not ask you in detail about this. You said that you are not arming your transports for combat, so I assumed you use ships with like one or even no guns or turrets. Somehow I thought automatically you plan to use Mastodon class transports, probably because you are of Liberty origin after all. But maybe I was wrong. So tell me, would you be using some other ships with let´s say at least five guns or turrets for this special transportation of such specific cargo which requires more strict security standards?

My name is Klaus Ottomeister and I am an Attorney at law from New Berlin, representing my client, Nicole Burton.

Guten Tag, Sehr geehrter Herr Ottomeister.
For the security reasons, detailed information about any Restricted Cargo License is available only to the members of the law enforcement authorities and may be provided to anyone else only in very specific cases involving for example criminal activities or threats to the national security.
General information may be provided if the reason is justified, but you need to explain why do you request it.

Guten Tag, Sehr geehrte Kommissar Laurich.
I am afraid but I will have to correct you. Government contracts as well as licenses on restricted commodities are available for review by independent watch agencies which ensure that due process and fairness is respected and followed. This type of transparency is in fact a long held practice in democratic societies. Only military contracts and national secrets are of course not available and are only reviewed by senior judiciary committees.
The reason I am requesting to review the documents pertaining to the shipping license of Azurite Gas for Core - AP Manufacturing is because I wish to examine the conditions and process that another shipping agency has been subject to on this specific license.
Danke

Guten Tag, Sehr geehrter Herr Ottomeister.
I am afraid I have to correct -you-. The Bundespolizei has the right to not provide details, especially details related to the security. Or are you telling me that your client would agree with Bundespolizei providing details about USI´s Azurite Gas license, including the required security measures, to anyone who would ask for them? I really doubt that. We do not provide such information for the obvious reason - because it could be abused and used for criminal activity, and Bundespolizei would be partially responsible for it.
However, in the case of your inquiry, there is nothing to provide anyway because neither The Core nor the AP Manufacturing owns the Restricted Cargo License for the Azurite Gas.

Guten Tag, Sehr geehrte Kommissar Laurich.
I still have objections to parts of your message, however that would be for another time since my client requested to drop my inquiry.
It is our belief that the RFP Licensing Registry would be interested in knowing that the Core Guildmaster has deceived investors and trade partners as he openly claimed that they possess a shipping license for Rheinland. In fact Universal Shipping was about to offer an Azurite Gas shipping contract to their transports within Rheinland systems, something which may have had legal repercussions even for Universal. (hiring another entity for an illegal act)
Thus I would strongly recommend a public clarification statement by the Federal Polizei on this subject would be very helpful not just to us, but to future innocent parties as well.

Guten Tag, Sehr geehrter Herr Ottomeister.
It is indeed surprising to hear the accusation of deceit committed by such organization as The Core. However, there is little what the Bundespolizei can do with it unless it happened in the Rheinland, but I assume any negotiations during which mentioned action happened were done outside of our territory or through NeuralNet. But feel free to correct me.
When it comes to hiring transports of The Core for transportation of the Azurite Gas, Universal Shipping would actually not break any law in a situation you described. While we exhort that the party hiring shippers for any transportation check if they have necessary permissions or licenses for the restricted cargo, there is no law at this moment which would set it as obligatory and make the hiring party responsible with possible legal repercussions.
Regarding the public statement you are suggesting, the Bundespolizei cannot do that without very solid evidence which would prove the act you described really happened. All we have right now is your statement and that is not enough for such a serious action. Thus I have to ask you to provide this evidence.
