' Wrote:Herr Voelkel,
Forgive my intrusion into this channel.
I am Congressman Timothy Finnegan, Coileach an Taobh Tuath, an' Clan Chief o' the bonny Clan Gordon, masters of Inverness, and indeed I am titled Adjudicator Inverness.

I would like to clear up a few points.
As such I will attempt to restrain me Scot's barogue best I can.

As regards the missing footage of said Wild attack,
Salvaging black-box recorders and providing proof of this assault was tertiary on our minds, at best, when we arrived to rescue the Refugees who had not been exposed to vacuum by the horrific assault. The safety of the Yanagi families was our first, and indeed only, priority.
I do hope you can understand that securing them and getting them back to the only safety we could be certain of, Yanagi Station, was our only goal, as in no way did we think we would need to answer to an inquest for saving our own people.

On that point, you say that Holstein would have recieved the refugees, but forgive my saying so, but after intercepting numerous communiques between your government and the Kempetai itself - the reason we evacuated Yanagi in the first place - we felt you were not to be trusted. Not with the lives of our women and children.
Surely you would have made the same decisions in our boots, had you foreknowledge of comms between your mortal enemies and people offering aid.
Our comm arrays at Yanagi are not lacking technical expertise, and our ears, dear herr, are wide open.
Forewarned is forearmed.
We chose to return our people to the relative safety of Yanagi and her guns until better accomodations could be made.

As to the Molly warbird,
She and her fellows were invited by myself only, without the knowledge of Arbiter Jack Crow.
This decision was made as I, in my lifepod - twisting away from the destruction of my liner and vacuum-borne death of so many people - witnessed these Kempetai Assassins tractoring in the corpses of our loved ones.
Seven thousand bodies is ALOT to clean up, and I it was asked them to aid us in fighting back the Kusari swine before they could desecrate more of our dead.
While we tried to clean up the dead that did not fall into the gravity well of the twin suns of Sigma 13, I asked our Molly friends to only 'Kill Kusari scum' in order to keep thier yellow pilots from the sacriledge of toying with our deceased.
Our Molly friends were not tasked with the cleanup, nor informed of it, thus their ignorance of the true task in the days following the horrific attack on innocents.
Again, I challenge you to state clearly that you would have acted vastly differently were you in our boots.

Now, I'm familiar with Rheinland hard-headedness, so in truth, I've little hope that this will affect your 'decisions' from this tribunal.
Know this, however.
We have been listening. We know how deep your ties with Kusari are, and the embarassment you would suffer would it be known how deep your own government is into this attack.
I make no threats nor attempt to offend the great Rheinland empire.
Facts I state, and because our cause is just, my shoulders are squared.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

I mean what are we supposed to do with no-one watching over us?
