Captain Lancaster,
Please stay at Freeport 1 until further notice.
Things might occur there soon. The Freeport might need your powerful ship. I cannot disclose more. Please do not panic, as everything is under control, which will easily be retained with your help. Await further instructions by Fleet Admiral O'Brien.

Miss Lancaster,
As per The Confederation Laws all zone craft, regardless of size are welcome at our Freeports. However, as per The Treaty of Snowdown Freeport 1 is also bound by Bretonian Interstellar Law, specificly Article 4.7 - Foreign Warships. Given the current political climate the Confederation is highly interested in ensuring that all points of Bretonian Law are complied with. Should the government of Bretiona grant permission to the Exodus we would be excited to welcome you here as a permanent addition to daily life around Freeport 1.

Greetings,
I will stay at the Freeport to ensure the safety of the bases. I'll notify another capital vessel stationed at the base of the situation as well.

Miss Lancaster,
I was quite clear that approval may only be granted by the Admiralty Board of Bretonia. Whilst I directed this reminder at the captain of the Mosquito, it was an open message, which you are quite clearly able to view. As such, you are now in breach of Article 4.7 of the Bretonian Charter of Interstellar Law, and I charge you a fine of 20 Million Sirius credits, payable to the "BAF|Armoury", immediately. Further to this, you are to leave Bretonian space within the next 48 hours, or face further consequences. I hope that the Confederation, and Freeport 1 Administration, will respect my judgement.
Had you followed the appropriate lines of communication, and had a little patience, this could have turned out more favorably for all.
On behalf of Her Majesty the Queen, and Her People in the Realm of Bretonia,
Fleet Admiral Michelle O'Brian
First Sea Lord
Commander of Her Majesty's Armed Forces

Greetings,
The fine will be paid shortly, however I have another question now regarding your orders for me to exit the system.
Firstly, Admiral Hall has rquested that I remain at Freeport 1 to assist against a threat he has not identified. Does your order nullify that request? I'm unsure of who has authority over who in the BAF, so you will forgive me for this question - in no way do I mean to offend you with it.
Secondly, if your order does override Admiral Hall's request, would you allow me to pass through Cambridge, New London, Manchester and Cortez on my way to Coronado - escorted if need be? I am willing to meet any terms you provide.

Mr Sullivan,
Generally Fleet Admiral ranks higher than Admiral, so yes, that makes me Sir Admiral Hall's superior. You will be given an escort through these systems, though if one is not provided before the 48 hours is up, you will have to find an alternative route.
We are at the height of war Mr Sullivan, I don't take kindly to battleships roaming Bretonia unchecked.
On behalf of Her Majesty the Queen, and Her People in the Realm of Bretonia,

Greetings,
Understood, I'll be ready and waiting by the Freeport in a few minutes. Have them send me a private comm if they are headed my way, please.
For the record, I am a Mr's.

Greetings,
The fine has been
paid. If no word of an escort arrives in the next 46 hours, I will move to independent space.
