>Smuggling Charges.

To the accountants, if you have any,

A few days ago I ran into one of your "congress members" by the name of 'Finnegan'. His ship, the Finnegan's.Wake, was caught a couple weeks ago smuggling Cardamine in the Texas system. As per Mr Finnegan's request, I'll be uploading the evidence of the crimes to you...now:

|001|

The following charges have been laid:

Failure to yield - Finnegan ignored the officer's orders to halt for a cargo scan
Failure to yield II - Finnegan failed to drop the Cardamine once scans had clearly revealed massive amounts on board
Drug trafficking - The 3565 units of Cardamine scanned were obviously not for personal use.

I'm sure you know these charges aren't to be taken lightly. A hefty fine of $20 million credits is imposed on perpetrator. He told me that if I uploaded unedited proof of his guilt, he'd gladly pay the fine.

So, there's the evidence and you can forward the money to any Primary Fleet officer or LSF Agent.

I really really don't like Cardamine smugglers - Coincidently, neither does the Republic of Liberty. The consequences for the Congress will be much higher if another report like this crosses my desk.

*Bridge of the Wake*
*Vieques Dockyards, Puerto Rico*

Right...
*grins toothily*
So th' blinkin' *cough* Liberty *cough* Navy has taken to doctorin' evidence in order ta fill thier coffers, aye?
I mean, cmon lads... Me engineer spotted the picture cuts before 'e even put the card in the 'jector... Ye've got one o' th' richest houses around, p'raps ye lot needs ter spend a wee bit o' tha' cash on better editing facilities.
Now, I dinnae appreciate bein' made th' dupe for yer pocket-pickin'. If'n your agent REALLY had th' evidence 'e says 'e had, he'd hae called in a Navy chap or two ta fix me good. He weren't the onlyest pilot on duty, were he?
*grins again, this time slyly*
P'raps 'e was. Seems them Pirates, (aye lads, th' one's Oi tipped yon captain o' th' LNS-Missouri off to... with nary a thanks or e'en a nod, bloody rotters...) been runnin' amok in yer trade lanes an' ye cannae do a ruttin' thing aboot it 'cept levy fines 'pon us Junkers what's been doin yer dirty work an' cleanin' up yon messes for eons.
P'raps ye lot need ta recruit some more coppers, as ye cannae seem ta even control a simple Cardi-smuggler....since that's what ye claim Oi am.
*looks about his bridge*
Nope, I'm still 'ere an' so's me gal, th' Wake. If this rotter'd TRULY seen me smugglin' aren't ye thinkin' I might be warmin' a cell somewheres an' me ship'd be bein scrapped by me mates by now?
Right well, we're not. An' yer lad's either got a bug up his arse o'er me personally, or th' Navy's been thinkin' th' Congress' pockets are deep 'nough ta fix yer woes.
*crosses arms and glares sternly*
Eivver way, Oi aint 'avin it.
I'm instructin' me Clan Gordon lads ta cease ALL scrap operations in Liberty as of now. We'll see how you chaps get along wif Manhattan space bein' unflyable. Transports bein' toasted by free-floatin' debris an' all...
Caw an I hardly dare think how messy Texas is gon' to get. An' Cali? Ferget it.
Aye an' try callin' on ALG ta do it fer ya...g'head. Oh...wait, theyre a Rheinland based outfit... tsk tsk, cannae hae that, can we?
*smirks*
'Ave fun wif them transports fallin' oot o' yon sky cause thier hulls been torn by some pirate's hull what ye lot left spinnin' in the black.

...Course an' all... Ye lot g'head n' rescind this blatantly false accusation an' fines, an' yer skies'll be clear as water quick as a wink. Till then, that scraping sound on yer capitol ships? That's them hulls what ye toasted NOT bein' cleaned up.

Oi tire o' this. I've wasted too much time answerin' a badly botched and totally false extortion effort.
Wake out.

>Over-Dressed Debt Collector.

Mr Finnegan,

The number of times I've heard the excuse by smugglers that "the evidence was doctored, its all a Navy/LSF/LPI conspiracy!!!" would astound you. The evidence has already been verified as undoctored.

Pulling your ships out of Liberty if I don't drop this case? Now that would be shady - Why would a drug-trafficking charge be put to rest if all the counter-evidence is "its an extortion attempt"...?

But I'm really not here to discuss the charges, I'm here as an over-dressed debt collector. The fine stands as-is.

To Vice Admiral Jack Malrone,
You say you ran into Finn two days ago but was caught two weeks ago !
seems like your men had him fitted up two weeks in advance to you seeing him,
plenty time to splice a few shots together, nice to see you not including the officer's
names that give you this so called evidence.
Like you say, we also dont like cardi smugglers, especially the ones that can fit others
up like my dear brother finnegan.
I would also like to know why Finn wasnt arrested for this crime two weeks ago, or was
it two days ago, it all sounds confusing to me too, a bit suspect, if you like. You need to
spend more time with your own lads first & have a word with them on a few points,
what i mean is they take our denari then stab us in the back with evidence. Not nice.

Yours
L.VOREN-COLL-XIII

That's enough. You can all put a sock in it right now. I don't need this nonsense. Finn, pay the damn fine and get your hide to Rochester, we need to talk. With all the dough you've been hoardin, I fail to see the real problem here.

*The bottom of Finn's boots comprise the majority of the screen image*
*He leans back, arms crossed, in his command chair. One eyebrow raised, his bemused smirk reveals his teeth*
Hrmmm,
*he eyes his pilot, mirthfully*
Murph, lad. Ye hear 'at tone, aye?

"Aye Cap, s' a shame innit?" *Murphy replies from offscreen*

Aye, tis.
*nods, still smirking*
Right then. A sock is it? An' he cusses me.
Gunner Kelley! Get me Invergordon control. 'Ave em foire th' Claymore up an' dust 'er offt.

*Finn uncrosses his boots, heedless of the state of his kilts, and rests his hands on his knees, leaning in close*
Right. Lissen 'ere, Assistant Admiral High Mucky Muck.
Twenny mil is it? Hell, I make tha' in an hour. Less time somedays. Certainly made more'n 'at haulin that Cardi you accuse me of.
'Ere, ye can 'ave a tip too.
*flicks a finger at a tech rating, who nods and sends 25 million credits into the Liberty Fines Office accounts*
Now, pess offt ye trimmed out nancy. Yer corset's peekin through yon fancy uniform there.

*the smirk slides slowly off Finn's aged visage*
Arbiter.
Oi's gonna take me leave offt ter Invergordon fer th' time bein'.
Oi dinnae fink puttin' me in th' same room wif you's a great bloody idear 'bout now.
After Oi've arranged me affairs, an' downed a pint or four, I'll make me way, me own way, in me own time thankee, to Rochester.
*rubs his chin through his beard*
P'raps Oi'll nae be seein' red by then.

Murph!
*Finn stands abruptly, his chair spinning in his wake*
Light em, boyo. Hell bent fer ol' 'Ness.
*storms off the bridge, bound for the galley*
........"Pay th' damn fine, Finn." 'e sez!........."Fail ta see", 'e sez.....Who's he think 'es talkin' t-

Uh, yeah. I've known you a little too long for that Finn. That's fine though, I've got no time to be chasing you around. I'm sending Tallwood to Invergordon and you WILL speak with him. There's a lot more going on here than you realize. I understand your anger at the naval types. They don't see the big picture either. That's fine with me and I'm not worried. I need you on board with us now. You will wait at Invergordon for Tallwood's arrival.

Mr Finnegan,

If you could strain yourself to provide proof of the credit transfer, that'd close this case up neat n' tidy.

Right then.
Apprentice Admiral Grand Poohbah,
'eres the scans o' me payment right to the horse's ars-
*cough*
erm, mouth.

Seems all o' yon officers are schooled in polite diplomacy.
*Smirks sideways*
Have ye lot set up a training cadre run by Xenos then? Sure smells like it.

Now, Oi 'ope ye lot are fans o' scrap. I've completed pulln' me assets back to Bretonia, where thier space is fixin ta get a mgiht cleaner right quick.
Aye, an' ye realize tha' the chances o' some pirate dockin' at Liberty Junker bases has increased drastically, as Oi've ceased to give one tiny hairy rat's arse about patrollin' em.

Yer extortion attempt worked, I'd tell ye ter pat yersef on th' back fer it, but I dinnae think yer arms gettin' past yer huge noggin, specially caught up in yer skirts like 'at...

Ave a rotten day, ya sheep buggerer.
I'd sooner shave me head wif a cheesegrater than see ye smile just once't.

Wake out.
