To the addressed parties:

At 0344 GST, the Admiralty Board was made aware of an incident involving LPI SWAT vessel Atwater, LSF agent Seeker, and an illegal pirate vessel known only as "Cool.Runnings" took place in the Texas and Puerto Rico systems, by a report filed by the aforementioned LSF agent. According to his report, he and the LPI officer stumbled upon an illegal vessel (the aforementioned Cool Runnings) and ordered it to stop due to its illegal nature. It failed to comply, and after a long chase, fled into the Puerto Rico system, in which it was able to seek refuge from the pursuing Libertonian officers at your installation, La Forteleza. On top of this transgression, the installation had marked the LSF operative as hostile, and began firing at it as it exited the Puerto Rico gravitational anomaly, causing him to, in turn, lose sight on the pirate vessel as it fled further into the system.

This report was then investigated by the Judge Advocate General's Corps, who dispatched the LNF Albany to the system to investigate these reports. Shortly after arriving, the vessel was beset upon - yet again - by the installation, and severely damaged to the point of requiring the relocation of a service vessel to help the limping vessel back to a Navy installation.

Given the already shaky legal ground that the Junkers' Congress (or whoever administrates this installation and the other border installations on their behalf), these findings only serve to agitate the situation. The Navy, in tandem with the Security Force, has placed the following demand upon all border installations (La Forteleza covering the Texas anomaly, La Mona Castra on the Humboldt anomaly, and any yet undiscovered installations):

All Primary Fleets of the Liberty Armed Forces will be set neutral to the installations' automated defense grid within 24 hours of this message's departure, or the installations will be deconstructed. Should you repair your systems' identification friend-or-foe systems, you are to reply on this exact frequency with proof of the changes made to your base software and financial reparations totalling 15.000.000¢ to =LSF=Seeker due to damages caused by your defense networks. Otherwise, the Navy suggests you begin to evacuate your stations' crew and civilian population.

Howdy,

Well ain't this a hoot. I send a message to all of Liberty 'bout UC smugglin an ain't nothin done bout it. An LSF ship, what ain't welcome in Puerto Rico has an issue with an empty transport what didn't even dock on our station, an y'all're ready to siege? Really? That's how it is? Guess y'all're too busy harrassin us to be worryin bout the poison bein dumped into yer back door. A thinkin man might be thinkin there's a bit of unreasonable bias goin on hereabouts.

Wasn't too long ago we was able to dock on y'all's stations. Suddenly we ain't, an y'all wonder why it's bein the same fer you on our stations? I can tell y'all right now, you ain't listed as hostile to 'em. I suggest y'all look at yer own reputations 'fore accusin us of misconduct. We ain't got no problem with LPI flyin through, nor Liberty Navy when pursuin someone.

As fer LSF. Are you out of yer damned minds? The same folk what planted evidence on our station? Same folk what openly harass us? Same folk what serve us up to pirates an unlawfuls? An you're expectin us to bow down to 'em? What'll you be wantin from us next? Drop our thrusters an let 'em pound missiles right up our exhaust ports? No! LSF won't be gettin access to our home. As fer payin fer damages on a ship what knew he ain't welcome, hell no.

Sincerely,
Wild Bill, Acting Arbiter Junker Congress

To Acting Arbiter "Wild Bill" of the Junkers Congress:

Your suggested claims of bias are neither the Navy's current concern nor the topic concerning this communication. It has been made abundantly clear to me that the Congress' sole wish in Libertonian space up until this point has been the flaunting of all of our laws while maintaining a hostile diplomatic stature towards our government and our armed forces. The olive branch and many chances have been extended to your organization, only for you to burn the last bridges you had.

I can assure you that neither the LSF vessels nor our own state of the art military vessels have any faults in their identification software, and regardless, your installation is clearly designed to block all access to the system and, as far as the Navy has been able to discern, offer safe refuge for smugglers, pirates, and enemies of the State just inside our borders. This is something that the Navy, with its ever present focus on internal defense, cannot stand for. Your clear infraction of Section I, Article III (Assault):

III. Assault.

The assault of any member of the Liberty forces for any reason is illegal, unless specific verbal exemption is given for a particular instance by a member of the high command structures of the Primary Fleets only.

and Installation Licensure Conditions, Section II, Article I, Addendum;

If vessels belonging to groups that the Republic of Liberty considers hostile, such as the Liberty Rogues or the Rheinland military, use your base, you will be liable for any consequences that follow. It is your responsibility to make sure that you do not provide safe harbour for criminals and parties that the Republic is at war with. Failure to do falls under obstructing the course of justice, as described in Section One.

confirm these fears. This is your final warning, Arbiter. The Admiralty Board will make its demand clear once again:

All Liberty Forces Primary Fleet vessels ([LN], =LSF=, LPI-) are to be given neutral affiliation status to your installation(s) within 24 hours (16:10 EST 4/6) of this communication's deliverance, and the financial reparations of 15.000.000¢ are to be made to =LSF=Seeker. There is no negotiation in this matter. Failure to comply with this order will result in the installations "La Forteleza", "La Mona Castra", et al., being flagged as hostile rogue installations and will be treated as such.

To : Liberty Navy Admiralty
From : Lt.Detective H.I.Mcdunnough, Liberty Police Inc.
Priority : Medium
Subject : Puerto Rico Investigative Division Expansion

Greetings Liberty Navy representative and Congress Acting Arbiter Bill Hickock.
My name is Lieutenant Detective Harold Ian McDunnough Chief Commander of the Puerto Rico Investigative Division.

Chief Valent forwarded me this message today.
With my current assignment as watch commander over Puerto Rico I've been monitoring all ship movements in and out. Over the last several weeks I've made contact with Junkers, Congress and several other random vessels there. At no time did any of these ships run from us and each time complied with all lawful orders. They're attitude has been compliant and always hospitable to all Liberty Police ships there. I realize there is some tension between the Liberty Navy, Liberty Security and Junker Congress. Which was explained to me as the reason for our being there.

As for this encounter with 'Cool.Runnings' we are currently looking for this illegal vessel and will demand he be cited for his unliscensed ship inside Liberty's borders. At the time I wasn't able to give chase as LSF had just informed me about an illegal smuggler in Texas. LSF Seeker alerted me that he had stopped a Pilgrim liner moving contraband into Texas. We were on the scene when this pirate train flew by. The train had no cargo and was showing a Junker identification. Even though his ship was illegal the full load of Black Market Munitions we were confiscating took priority. We were able to detain that captain and confiscate his cargo though. It was only because of this we were unable to aid LSF chase down the Junker pirate train refusing to stop. Reviewing the evidence I do not see this 'Cool.Runnings' ship docking on La Fortaleza. Additonally I can verify that LPI ships do have docking access and our IFF transponders do allow us entry into the other stations there. There is no reason for alarm here or hostile actions from Liberty Navy. We have full control of the situation in Puerto Rico and do not see any cause for concern.

Currently I am on La Fortaleza in Puerto Rico asking around about this 'Cool Runnings'. As usual though the Junkers are being rather tight lipped and evasive claiming not to know him or his whereabouts. I know they know more and I will keep asking around till they get sick of me prying.

Also I am contacting Adirondack where the Junker Congress leader James Trenton is currently being held. Since this ship that ran was Junker perhaps he might be able to help me find him. Might even be able to convince him its for that Junker's own safety that he turn himself in. If he is willing to help bring this fugitive Junker to justice. It would be in his best interest while he is on trial.

Please allow us to do our jobs as the "Peacemakers" for Liberty and try to resolve this peacefully and quietly.
I will personally track down the pirate train 'Cool.Runnings' and make sure he pays for his crimes!
Just give me 24 hours to find him.. that is all I ask. You have my word he will be caught!!

Howdy Lt.Detective H.I.Mcdunnough,

Ain't no reason to be contactin James. That boys a jailbird now. He don't know jack bout our current operations. If'n yer lookin to talk to someone what knows how to find a Junker, you'll be wantin to talk to me. Well, at least until the trial is over an James is released from his wrongful imprisonment. Best we git back to the topic on hand. I've met this here feller yer lookin fer. He's dumb. As in mute. We ain't got no issues with y'all an I'm fixin to bring this feller in so y'all can talk to 'em. He done sent me a log of the event what spurred all this into motion. After readin through an seein a particular bit of the one sided conversation, I ain't please with LSF enterin our system. The done proved time an again to us they ain't to be trusted. Seems they jus wanted to shoot this poor boy down cause he weren't able to speak proper. From what I can see, they was then claimin to be wantin a look around Puerto Rico. I sure am glad Liberty Police is dealin with this, y'all is reasonable. An I'm speakin now to yer reason, I'm goin to need yer promise this boy ain't goin to be mistreated while in y'alls custody.

Also, of note, Liberty Security Force an Liberty Navy was added to La Fortaleza. After reviewin the logs, well, I'm fixin to remove LSF again. They got some sort of vendetta 'gainst us, an I ain't comfortable with 'em enterin Puerto Rico. Least not while they jus want to "space" Junkers. As always, Liberty Navy is welcome to chase major criminal offenders in, an we ain't goin to remove 'em nor hinder their ability to do so. Their bein added as hostile was from a blockade what was started by LSF, an weren't intentional fer us to leave 'em hostile after the blockade.

Sincerely,
Wild Bill, Acting Arbiter Junker Congress

Howdy,

As seen here, I done adjusted the stations. Y'all ain't got dockin access without 24 hours notice. Station ain't gonna fire on you, but I don't want to see any of y'all takin advantage of this. As fer y'all bein in Puerto Rico, I'm expectin y'all won't enter unless chasin someone what deserves it? An I don't want to hear jack bout what ships y'all may or may not notice in Puerto Rico bein flown by Congress. We're keen on usin certain Transports an other ships what you folk don't seem to like fer defense an in system base supplyin. But hey, it's our home system an y'all ain't discussin policin it, right?

Acting Arbiter Wild Bill

Howdy,

I'm pretty sure both of you will need to hear this. Lt.Detective H.I.Mcdunnough is keen on what happened, but best I share with LIberty Navy what's taken place. After talkin to that Cool.Runnings feller, I thought it best if'n he was to have a conversation with LPI. So I gathered assurances fer his safe passage. We met up at La Fortaleza, where he wasn't docked, an flew on out with Lt.Detective H.I.Mcdunnough to Adirondack. I ain't got no reasons to complain here, went without a hitch, even had a chance to talk to my old friend James Trenton while at Adirondack. On account of LPI doin their job an the logs provided of LSF wantin to "space" Junkers an fly round Puerto Rico fer no reason, I'm removin them from La Fortaleza. They jus ain't keen on keepin the peace, they're too damn bloodthirsty. [LN] will not be shot at nor removed s'long as we keep to our agreements. If'n LSF chases a criminal an they find their way to Puerto Rico, it'd be best fer all involved that they send evidence an a name to LPI. Let 'em Police folks do their job. An I'm generally round enough to add unwanted criminals to the blacklist on La Fortaleza.

To the addressed parties:

It appears as though you misunderstand the situation, Arbiter. This has not and never has been a negotiable agreement. We ceded the ability to freely patrol and exert our control over the system in return for getting your full compliance. This does not, then, allow you to change the details of the completed agreement on your terms. LSF operatives are to be granted the same access that Navy pilots are to your station, and the guns are to not fire upon any LSF vessel. As it appears that you wish to continue to be noncompliant, we are going to take this matter into our own hands.

From this point forward, the installations La Forteleza and La Mona Castra are to be considered hostile by the Libertonian Defence Forces, and will remain so up until the point that the Liberty Security Force is added to the whitelist of La Forteleza, and an increased fine of 30.000.000 credits for financial reparations is sent to =LSF=Seeker. Should the Libertonian Forces be forced to disable your installation(s), the Logistics Corps will make its best attempts to rescue any survivors and move them to Planet Houston and be treated for any medical injuries.

The Admiralty Board also wishes to remind you that until both the financial reparations are paid and the installation La Forteleza returns to a no-fire mode on =LSF= vessels, Section Five of the Liberty Laws is in effect for the totality of the Junkers Congress organization and any associates:

Those found to be breaking the law in the house of Liberty, whether in the presence of the Liberty forces or not, forfeit all protection that the law provides.

The choice to make the right decision rests solely in your hands, Arbiter.

****TRANSMISSION TERMINATED****

RE: To: Administrators of La Forteleza, La Mona Castra, et al. - The Republic Of Liberty - 05-10-2015

To Acting Arbiter Wild Bill and the Junkers Congress;

After internal consultation, the Republic of Liberty has decided to rescind the declaration of 'La Forteleza' as a hostile installation within the house of Liberty. While we neither condone nor disagree with the actions taken by the Fleet Admiral, we believe that the best course of action is to put into place a ceasefire.

However, that does not mean that the Admiral's previous demands are rescinded. The House of Liberty requests that the installation 'La Forteleza' is set neutral to all Liberty Primary Fleet vessels, including =LSF=, [LN], and LPI-. Failing that, we will then demand that the Junkers' Congress be held legally responsible for any and all vessels that are attempting to obstruct or escape justice either by using the installation as physical cover or by using the defense network as a means of escape. Additionally, you will also be held responsible financially for any damages inflicted on Liberty lawful vessels while they pursue criminals into the system. Any vessels damaged beyond repair will hold a minimum fine of fifteen million Sirius credits, for putting Liberty personnel at risk. Finally, the original demanded financial reparations of 15.000.000 credits must be made to either =LSF=Seeker or Ferris.Dufresne with proof of transaction delivered via this frequency.

Failure to comply with these outlined demands (financial reparations, legal responsibility) will result in the re-evaluation of Congress' legal standing within Liberty. We are allotting the Congress thirty-six hours from the time of this message's departure to respond and comply with these terms. Additional time may be awarded under extreme circumstances.

Howdy,

I'll be reworkin the transponder lists tonight in hopes fer a temporary truce. I'd be willin to talk bout this mess with y'all, s'long as y'all're willin to talk. Understand though, if'n the station's transponder is misused, or I find LSF doin anythin disrespectful in Puerto Rico, I will add 'em back to bein hostile. Unfortunately I ain't able to access the station at the time of this transmission. I will send another transmission soon as what needs fixin is fixed.
