Mister Edridge,
I am Captain Remus Sius of the Liberty Primary Naval Fleet.
Seeing as you are a CEO of a overly important organization, I shall get straight to the point. About a few days, I have received a report regarding an incident that occurred between you and a couple of Naval Captains. Now, while I normally just talk to the Captains regarding similar incidents, it has been deemed fit by the Naval Admiralty Board that I hear your side of the story.
The investigation has been going on for days now and it would help if you could give us your point of view.
Captain Sius, your business and that of the Navy is important to us. Please hold while we attempt to connect to Mister Edridge. Your original position was 482,337, but due to the important nature of the message, and the fact it is from the Admiralty, your position in queue has been shifted to 14
Please stand by, as you will be responded to soon!
Good evening Officer! Fantastic weather we're having on Manhattan, isn't it?
Incident? Let me see...
Oh, you mean these two fellows? I remember them quite well when they punched a hole in the side of my Train, costing one of my employees an arm, and causing six to resign the following day. I dare say I received the blackest of eyes after my face smashed into a terminal as the carriers fire tore off a portion of my ship.
But not to worry! A little bit of foundation and blush covered that right up.
My side of the story? Well, the captain was making a right fool of himself within system-wide communications, and I felt the need to mention that to him, mostly to save the Navy from further humiliation from Officers that feel the need to act their shoe size, and not their current age.
I believe he was quite upset when he encountered me in front of Manhattan, and I was taking my lane towards West Point, he unloaded a massive barrage right next to my ship, disrupting the lane, and frankly, causing several million credits worth of damage to the ring itself. Terrible waste. We spent roughly a minute at that lane as he conducted his scans, and after wasting enough time, and money, we started to move forwards again, which is when he called for his fighter escort to disrupt us.
I started to lose my patience at that point, as a stalled transport is one that's costing money, not making it. We continued forwards at impulse speeds, and your captain there continued making, well, essentially death threats because he supposedly couldn't scan us with his massive, battleship-sized array, which, I don't think I need to remind you is capable of scanning far much more than a transport moving at impulse speed.
Refusing to understand that, again, time is money, he bombarded the side of my ship, which, after eating keypad, and tasting a bit of blood in the back of my throat, we decided to stop, lest we all die due to some maniac of a captain.
Though, I believed he was just having a bad day, so I refrained from filing a complaint, and let him have his way. That is, despite his taunting and threats over private communications to myself.
I do believe that sums up the encounter, Captain. Do you need anything else?

Mister Edridge,
While a photographic evidence may seem to tell a thousand words, it is the utmost important if you could give the entire conversational logs of the incident to better understand how the situation unfolded.
These logs will provide us a summary of account, of who/what triggered what... This is essential in determining who broke the law first.
Therefore, if you have those logs, and I do mean unedited and original ones, we can process this case easily.
I must sadly report that our audio logging and recording systems were either malfunctioning at the time, or not enabled at all. Quite embarassing for someone such as myself, no?
I'm afraid you'll have to come to your own conclusion about this, Captain. I cannot supply a full log proving my relative innocence in this case, so I'll leave it up to your good judgement.
