There has never been a Liberty Vice President by the first name of Dick, Richard, or any other abbreviations.
I have a list of the people who may get through the Embargo. Want to know who is on it? No one. Because no one gets through.
There is no document about allowing [GST] transports through, and they never will be.
Oh, and I checked with Willard, and there is no program involving you, the GST, or anyone else. the LSF handle most of the transporting.
This is just a following on of Admiral Talon's order, but hereby.
1) [GST] tagged ships are hereby to be killed on sight in Liberty space.
2) Any and all [GST] workers on planets or stations are to be arrested.
3) [GST] is to pay 300 000 000 Sirius Credits to the Liberty Navy for the replacement of the LNS-Dawn and it's Armour (Capital Mark VII Version), else they shall not be given any leverage in Liberty, and they shall not be even considered for appeals until this is fulfilled.
Should you refuse these terms, well, your own bloody funeral.

[To: ALL LIBERTY FORCES/ALL CITIZENS OF LIBERTY]
Very dear High Officers of Liberty Security Forces,
Very dear members of the Republic of Liberty Government,
First of all, I want to assure you that I'm very, very, very happy to hear the pilot of the Dawn wasn't killed in the NY incident. GST members always see the death of other pilots with greatest disappointment.
The fact that High Rank Officers of Liberty Forces are NOT well informed about secret programs of their own administration is NOT a surprise to me. More than this: I'm afraid this is sometimes a necessity. I wish I had the power to change this. But I haven't.
My first message was adressed to ALL CITIZENS OF LIBERTY, of course. But I don't call "citizens" the two or three billions so-called "free" individuals living hypnotic "lives" on planets and bases in Liberty systems. The only true "citizens" of Liberty Republic are the members of its Government, some military officials and the leaders of its main trans-sytem Companies.
I'm sure GST and LNS will have some occasion of resolving their diplomatic difficulties intelligently in the future.
GST CEO John Burton (3076-...) is a retired Liberty high rank politician and business man.
His functions in Liberty administration are still not clear today.
He left Liberty administration some years ago and founded the well known Galactic Secure Trade Company in Kusari space with WDR funds.
The GST Company was based in Zoner systems for the following years, until tensions with Liberty authorities because of GST breaking the Texas blockade became to dangerous for Zoners.
Then the GST Security Council decided the Company should switch to Smuggler ID and cut all official contacts with former Zoner Allies.
You can find more information and desinformation on GST's Neuronet: http://gstrade.forumactif.net
and contact John Burton and other GST members there almost anytime.

Comm ID: Admiral John Talon
To: Liberty Forces and all parties involved
As Vice Admiral Malaign previously stated, we are hereby issuing an order for all Liberty Forces that every single GST ship is to be destroyed upon entry to Liberty. Mister Burton, I am in the very highest command structure along with the Director of the LSF and Willard station is under our protection, now I don't know what you're playing at here but there have never been any deals with you and thus you are declared hostile to all Liberty and your vessels shall be destroyed. You can attempt to formalize your deal with them in public, and pay a restitution fine as the Vice Admiral stated, then, and only then you might survive your next entry to Liberty. Good luck to you, I sure as hell hope you provide a reasonable amount of intellect in this, considering I'm sure you don't want to fight against the entire force of Liberty combined.
