I'll keep this message short as it's a simple summons for stating the evidence as a part of pre-trial processing. The case is based on report of Congressman entering Liberty in a so-called "Pirate Train" transport, a vessel distributed on the black market and prohibited for use in Liberty.


The reference to Laws of Liberty follows:

Quote:V. Transport ships.

The transport models of the Rheinland Train, Behemoth Medium Transport, Uruz Container Transport, Pirate Train and Pirate Transport are not permitted within the House of Liberty. The ALG mover and all other transport class ships of Sirian origin are permitted.

Additionally, all Transport-class vessels of Gallic origin are not permitted with the House of Liberty, except when crewed by and flown under the banner of the Council.

There are no exceptions to this law.

Captains of transports of illegal make and model will be forced to drop any cargo they are carrying and exit the house of Liberty by the route specified by the officer on duty. An additional fine may be levied if previous infractions have occurred. Any resistance or evasion will result in the transport ship being destroyed.

So far the Liberty Navy requests a comprehensive (note: comprehensive as covering the case completely) explanation from the ship's captain and information regarding his identity, this vessel's origin and shipping orders for the period it was operating in Liberty space.

As this is a matter of possible fine to be imposed on ship's captain and/or the organization it belongs to, we prefer to ask the questions and then process the case.

Regardless of the improvement made, mister van Pelt, and according to the ship in question's identification codes, you are the said captain of the transport, still appears to be a wireframe of the infamous Z-Line. Hence it was identified as Z-Line "Pirate Transports" according to the database of the ship that made the recording.

Apparently the XK243 was never licensed for use in Liberty, therefore until the said documentation is obtained, the ship will be categorized as the Z-Line Train and its legal status won't be considered outside this qualification.

I still expect the answers on the questions asked, mister van Pelt.

Arbiter, this message is recorded on the mobile device and exceeded the recommended time quota for archiving protocol. I will reply to you shortly.

Arbeiter, I'd recommend you to lower your tone if you are voicing an official position of Congress or a personal opinion of its functionary. Icteritiousness is a bad matter for both legal sphere and business relations.

You may not direct the complaints regarding the Liberty Law to me, but contact the Senate instead. I do not participate in lawmaking, my role is solely the execution of legal process. Hereby your typical attempt to over-dramatize the situation is not necessary. No amount of the said fine was mentioned so far as well. Guess my person is an irritant enough for you as you hadn't even bothered to look through the messages and jumped directly to rending the air.

As far as you are not capable of performing your role in a constructive discussion, I will ask you to refrain from participation in any contacts with the law enforcement authorities of the Republic.

Lieutenant Dusentrieb.

No matter the circumstances, this situation is still in the direct violations of the paragraphs of Section Three of Liberty Law, therefore should be considered in accordance to existing norms and regulations. You know it as well as I know it.

Even while being considered non-violent action, the violation of the said paragraphs is still a delinquency which brings the appropriate responsibility.

Additionally, this is the case conducted by the Liberty Navy, not the Liberty Police Incorporated, therefore your opinions as the representative of said organization will be considered, but won't have any direct impact on the processing of the case.

Arbiter, I apologize for assuming your heavy involvement in the Congress-related work. I also apologize for the mistakes in qualifying your medical case as it's the matter of hysterics without the symptoms affecting your skin that I accidentally named.

Nonetheless, if you prefer to stop the dialogue regarding the formal investigation and standard fine for the use of the transport considered illegal in accordance to Liberty Law, I won't push it further as your formal denial will be enough for the case to proceed.

Your lack of interest will be noted and added to case materials. Additionally, I will be forced to submit the commitment warrant on Congressman Richard van Pelt as he had seemingly stepped back from participating in this dialogue between Liberty and Junker Congress and allowed you to speak for his a member of Congress.

I'll also request further sanctions against you, Arbiter, and the Junker Congress you represent for the interruption of formal legal process.

I accept your offer to stop at this point. Have a good day, Arbiter.
