It has been a rallying cry throughout history, and it is good to hear it here.
While the IND mourn the deaths, we know full well what the alternatives were:
Live free or die: Death is not the worst of evils.
"Liberté, Ãgalité, Fraternité, ou la mort" - "Liberty, Equality, Brotherhood, or Death"
"Libertad o Muerte" - "Liberty or Death"
But again, it must be stressed, our pilot tried his best to save lives, to spare them. What are we faced with? Two horrible choices, drop them or let them die...
While I know which fate I would choose, who could, willfully order the deaths of Two Thousand People?
Paco-Pistol, that is who!

Oh man! The IND OWN LPI??? aww man, too much! Too much! No wonder the pigs are writing it off, if I see some piggys in Luxury liners I'll know why!
Dudes, the IND CLEARLY shot these tourist bros, don't let the bogus LPI bribe-tribe fool you man!
Quote:That's just precious, mate. A pirate complaining about others possible illegal behavior. Nice, that one. I don't really think it matters what evidence you provide, or what of.
You see, they ADMIT they'r gonna cover up an ignore any evidence!
BOGUS man, Extremely Bogus.

Of Course Madam Secretary,
The IND will, of course, co-operate with the LPI investigation in every way possible. However there are no guncam records of the encounter. It was over far too quickly for the Captain to record any.
I will, of course, be in contact with the Captain to secure the comm. Logs as soon as I can.
Is there any other way that we can be of assistance in this matter? I do have to ask why the LSF is taking an interest in what is, essentially, an LPI matter?
Are you launching an investigation into Paco-Pistol's activities? If so we have significant evidence of his criminal activities and are currently collecting more, to ensure that we can paint a better picture of this insane monster.

Secretary Sonya Mosby,
You are authourized to proceed with your inquiries, I am signing a warrant for your men to search the vessels in question. And to conduct a full and through investigation of this matter.
Let us hope that it will resolve this horrific issue once and for all.
It is important that all of Liberty see that no one is above the law, and that justice, as always, will prevail. Having the LSF conduct the investigation will ensure that there are no accusations of... bribery or other shenanigans.
Please keep me informed as to what you discover.
Right Honourable Ms. Goethe, 4th circuit judge Presiding
To: Secretary Sonya Mosby LSF, Honorable Judge Goethe, 4th district court
From: Otis Jethro, Vice President, Independent Neural Net Department
Secretary, Your Honor,
As I have said, IND will cooperate in any investigation, that is once jurisdictional authority has been established. At the moment, I have seen no evidence of any supposed crime taking place within Liberty. As you have not shown any crime being committed within your jurisdiction, it would be a very bad president to recognize the legitimacy of an investigation by the law enforcement of Liberty. If you wish to continue to attempt to criminalize a ship being pirated, you will not have the IND's help, nor cooperation. I find it interesting that all of you would be so eager to investigate the IND for something the Lane Hackers claim. That claim is so absurd, I am further confused how such knowledgeable and legitimate legal minds could consider any liability directed toward IND coming from an incident where an UNARMED ship is being claimed to have fired on something by a Lane Hacker.
As I said, once you have established a crime took place within your jurisdictional limits, the IND will be able to cooperate. As it stands, our legal department will not allow me to give any further cooperation.
Otis Jethro, IND

Mister Otis Jethro,
Of course, all of these things must be taken into account, and a proper and full investigation would have to prove conclusively a few facts:
A. The event took place in Liberty Space.
B. It was perpetrated against Libertonian Citizenry.
C. Who the act was committed by.
So far all we have is the word of a Lane Hacker, with circumstantial evidence that gives none of the above, against at Civilian Trading vessel.
We understand IND's frustration, but I must ask for patience while the Secretary conducts her investigation. However, Mister Jethro, I will reassure you, if the only evidence presented is the above, there is certainly no grounds for a case. However, to ensure the fair observence of the law, I must ensure that all avenues of investigation are pursued.
To that end, I must ask that the LSF bring Paco.Pistols in for direct questioning before the court. For without his direct testimony, and additional conclusive evidence presented, no jury in Liberty will be able to pass the 'beyond reasonable doubt' verdict needed.
Right Honourable Ms. Goethe, 4th circuit judge Presiding
