I would say I would be surprised to receive this communication, but at the same time, I am not - as the Pilot in question promised a little report on this...


Allow me to elaborate upon the situation.

First of all; the licenses. We have actually repaid the new term for the licenses, which is said to be done after the meetings at the Palace, which has been done for approximately... three to four months, if my memory serves me right? I received private word over secure communications that these were valid, but perhaps I was informed wrongly.

Second of all, we absolutely /did/ /not/ extort anyone. The pilot in question, the Lieutenant Commander V Steiner, had failed to realise that he was being tricked by the Naval Pilot, as the one, known as Balados, who attempted to retreat with the items idiotically announcing "See ya" - scooting down the lanes. I intercepted and destroyed them, since they obviously declined to obey and notably attempted to retreat to what is considered an area of unlawful activity in New London, the Cambridge Hole. The vessel was very close to retreating the area and to a station, where the items would have been inevitably lost.


I called a friend to haul the items back to the Planet for the person, but... Did I receive any sort of respect? No. Nothing. Had the pilot asked for the items to be returned, I would have happily complied. All I required was a 'thank you' - a simple gesture of respect, and a simple question, "May we have them?" - of course I would comply. On another note, these Nomad biological pieces are still up for the offering.

Concerning our offerings of holding all of the materials for them, that was a valid offer. No strings, nothing. We saw a lack of Bretonian Naval ships that were capable of transporting, we did not wish to keep the materials for ourselves, and as I've already stated on the blackboxes, I said I trust Bretonia with the items, but I do not trust that Navy vessel who was willing to throw dangerous items away for mere cash. I see there was a misunderstanding when I said, "do tell where to deliver it" - as I meant in the mannerism of gaining permission to deliver it to one of your secured stations - as naturally, without word from High Command of the Armed Forces, the automated defences would blast the ferry. It was, afterall, roughly 3:30 in the morning, Sirian Time. No one was around. That is why we said we would wait for word from their highers for confirmation.


The only other scenario of 'piracy' that may have been interpeted is the transanction of these scrap metals from the Navy vessel, which I did actually offer money for. We're interested in these materials in order to learn more about them, to find ways to ensure safety.

As I am a native Bretonian myself, it hurts me to see that people truly think that I am out to harm the House I was born and raised in, the House that I love. I feel greatly offended by this. I only desire to help. I haven't been treated well lately within the realms from some members of the Armed Forces, which has made me question the reality that I reside in.


I am no villian. I only wish to help heal and protect the House I care for. And it truly pains me to see this scenario occuring. I ask of you, my dear friends, to reconsider this situation.
