To Whom This May Concern,
I am extremely angry right now so I'm dispensing with pleasantries.
Recently, some of your animals known as Queen Carina's Privateers have been attacking Zoner ships around Gran Canaria and in the past, in the Taus. I find this to be repulsive. In the past, our relations with Bretonia have been mixed. Diplomatically, I have been insulted but we have also had the kindness to take in many Bretonian refugees to Gran Canaria at the Port Jackson camp which my medical staff has been providing medical and other forms of aid during their stay there.
I bring this item to your attention:
http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?sh...mp;#entry688081
This was an illegal bounty placed on Zoner ships with false claims. We are NOT enemies of Bretonia as some say but it seems that some are trying to make us that way. If I was, I wouldn't be providing a good deal of funding to your medical institute on Cambridge and giving dental seminars. So, I'm not ASKING the Bretonian Crown to deal with this, I DEMAND that they do. I've been nice in the past but I can see it doesn't seem to resonate. Perhaps a few demands will:
-We DEMAND this bounty be deemed illegal and that anyone trying to collect will be prosecuted.
-We DEMAND the Queen Carina's Privateers be brought to justice....ALL of them. If not, we will cage them up like the animals that they are.
-We DEMAND reparations for the crews of the ships that have been attacked.
Now, if we can't get these what I believe are quite reasonable demands, then, as acting chairman of the Zoner Council, I will take a few actions of my own.
-I WILL issue a counter bounty on anyone who takes a Zoner ship on the affor mentioned bounty.
-I WILL null and void the Port Jackson agreement with Bowex and no refund will be given. Mind you, those refugees already there will be taken care of. They did nothing to deserve retribution.
-I WILL cut the funding the Cambridge Medical Institute on Cambridge. As I'm told, they won't last long without it as the Bretonian government is spending so much on it's war with Kusari.
Now a couple of lies spread by these Privateers:
-That we are supplying the Kusari war machine via trade. Not true. Yes, we DO run deuterium to Ames Research facility in the Kepler system by using the Taus, Kyushu space and Shikoku space. That is a route and nothing more.
-That we allow Corsairs on Freeports. It's no lie but what they don't tell you is that so are BMM miners, various shipping company's personel, Bounty Hunters and others. And guess what! While they are there, no one is killing each other! What happens in open space later isn't our problem.
So, I do expect some kind of response sooner than later. I won't apologize for being so angry either but I've had enough. Either put your pets on a leash or we'll cage them ourselves.
