Konnichiwa,
I am that Golden Chrysanthemum that talked to you yesterday. I am here to report that Gallia breached your No Fire Zone and you should start killing them. When you left two MRG ships attacked me at the freeport. Hans von Goeben was still around aswell.
[02.07.2019 00:40:34] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Incoming
[02.07.2019 00:40:55] MRG|GN-Berger-: Since when are the Zoneurs hostile to Gaule ?
[02.07.2019 00:41:03] MRG|GN-Berger-: Preposterous !
[02.07.2019 00:41:14] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: How should I know? Do I look like a Zoner?
[02.07.2019 00:41:42] MRG|GN-Berger-: You seem content to be in their bed !
[02.07.2019 00:41:58] MRG|GN-Berger-: Figuratively speaking.
[02.07.2019 00:42:02] Hans.von.Goeben: Excuse me?!
[02.07.2019 00:42:15] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: But I am not. I am in my ship with my finger on the trigger
[02.07.2019 00:42:19] Hans.von.Goeben: A rather rude greetings, Captain.
[02.07.2019 00:42:38] MRG|GN-Berger-: I am Major Jerome Berger of the Gendarmerie Nationale, Gallic forces.
[02.07.2019 00:42:40] MRG|GN-Berger-: Apologies.
[02.07.2019 00:43:02] MRG|GN-Berger-: And who might you be ?
[02.07.2019 00:43:07] Hans.von.Goeben: Now that sounds more civilized.
[02.07.2019 00:43:10] MRG|GN-Berger-: The Kusarian harlot, that, I could assert by myself.
[02.07.2019 00:43:17] Hans.von.Goeben: I am Hans von Goeben, freelancing scientist.
[02.07.2019 00:43:30] Hans.von.Goeben: Also, freelancing trader. As for now.
[02.07.2019 00:43:41] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: I am not going to reply to this trash
[02.07.2019 00:43:42] MRG|RNS-Nice: Louis: Bonjour.
[02.07.2019 00:43:45] MRG|GN-Berger-: Ah ! And in whom's employ, if I may ask ?
[02.07.2019 00:43:57] MRG|GN-Berger-: Commandant Louis ! An honneur !
[02.07.2019 00:44:21] Hans.von.Goeben: I am my own boss at the moment, Sir. Independent.
[02.07.2019 00:44:38] MRG|GN-Berger-: I have just stumbled upon this pleasant Rheinlandic commercant, who claims he is in his own employ.
[02.07.2019 00:44:40] MRG|RNS-Nice: Louis: Soldier, would you be so kind and give me a little briefing of the situation?
[02.07.2019 00:44:59] MRG|RNS-Nice: Louis: Oh, interesting.
[02.07.2019 00:45:06] MRG|GN-Berger-: Nothing has lead me to contradict his statement, and his papeurs seem in good order.
[02.07.2019 00:45:21] Hans.von.Goeben: *A silent sigh escapes his mouth*
[02.07.2019 00:45:45] MRG|GN-Berger-: Then there is one of those crazed druggards from Kusari, but she hasn't responded well to my taunting.
[02.07.2019 00:45:50] MRG|RNS-Nice: Louis: Good. If you think he won't cause us any trouble, I'm fine with that.
[02.07.2019 00:45:59] MRG|GN-Berger-: I believe he won't, commandant.
[02.07.2019 00:46:08] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: You just didnt get in my firing range yet
[02.07.2019 00:46:11] Hans.von.Goeben: *puts hand on his chest* I do not mean any trouble here, gentlemen.
[02.07.2019 00:46:22] MRG|GN-Berger-: And none shall be given unto you, mein Herr.
[02.07.2019 00:46:31] Hans.von.Goeben: Gut.
[02.07.2019 00:46:41] MRG|GN-Berger-: Gallia has no quarry with the citizens of Rheinland, self employed or not.
[02.07.2019 00:46:51] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: *laughs*
[02.07.2019 00:47:15] MRG|GN-Berger-: However, passive aggressive Kusari space-trailer trash on my AuTauroute are another concern.
[02.07.2019 00:47:18] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: You forever got the Rhienland label, Hans
[02.07.2019 00:47:49] Hans.von.Goeben: *he glares at Misaki in a playful manner* Guess that is my fate until the end.
[02.07.2019 00:48:01] MRG|GN-Berger-: Commandant, what I would generously call a woman has made thinly veiled threat at my intention.
[02.07.2019 00:48:14] MRG|GN-Berger-: Shall I throw a white glove at her presumably hideous flat face ?
[02.07.2019 00:48:29] MRG|RNS-Nice: Louis: Hmm...
[02.07.2019 00:48:41] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Arent they cute?
[02.07.2019 00:48:49] Hans.von.Goeben: *he clears his throat* Gentlemen, please. Let us all honour the non-aggression zone of the Freeport, aye?
[02.07.2019 00:48:55] MRG|RNS-Nice: Louis: I really don't like the idea of wasting ressources against Kusarian troublemakers...
[02.07.2019 00:49:04] MRG|GN-Berger-: The non-aggression...
[02.07.2019 00:49:08] MRG|GN-Berger-: *he rubs his chin*
[02.07.2019 00:49:11] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: It must be the famous cheese language they speak in the uncivilised world
[02.07.2019 00:49:24] MRG|GN-Berger-: Commandant ? Have our leaders signed such a pact with the Zoneur tribesmen ?
[02.07.2019 00:49:36] Hans.von.Goeben: No, they have not *stale voice*
[02.07.2019 00:49:54] MRG|GN-Berger-: Monsieur, this is the gallic AuTauroute.
[02.07.2019 00:49:55] Hans.von.Goeben: But nonetheless, it would be a great diplomatic deed to do so for now.
[02.07.2019 00:49:55] MRG|RNS-Nice: Louis: There is such an pact, which the Zoners signed with themselves. Nobody cares about that.
[02.07.2019 00:50:05] MRG|GN-Berger-: It is a zone of active aggression, sadly.
[02.07.2019 00:50:13] Hans.von.Goeben: Oh.
[02.07.2019 00:50:16] Hans.von.Goeben: Well.
[02.07.2019 00:50:19] Hans.von.Goeben: Worth a shot.
[02.07.2019 00:50:19] MRG|GN-Berger-: And a facilitator of aggression in distant places.
[02.07.2019 00:50:23] MRG|GN-Berger-: Hence the name.
[02.07.2019 00:51:11] Hans.von.Goeben: *To Misaki* ...you think this could escalate?
[02.07.2019 00:51:22] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: *takes a sip of her sake*
[02.07.2019 00:51:43] MRG|GN-Berger-: For some reason, this Port Franc has me on its "shoot on sight" list, however.
[02.07.2019 00:51:43] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Hey, Gallics, Want to buy some cardamine?
[02.07.2019 00:51:55] Hans.von.Goeben: Oh boy.
[02.07.2019 00:51:58] MRG|GN-Berger-: Such wit.
[02.07.2019 00:52:01] MRG|GN-Berger-: Such elan.
[02.07.2019 00:52:19] MRG|GN-Berger-: Truly, Kusari is blessed to be able to rely on youth of your intellectual capacity, madam.
[02.07.2019 00:52:36] MRG|RNS-Nice: Louis: I see you're all eager to spend some time with her *laughs*
[02.07.2019 00:52:48] Hans.von.Goeben: *sighs and takes the last sip from his glass of whiskey*
[02.07.2019 00:52:51] MRG|GN-Berger-: Why are you here, and not back in Tokyo, producing books of extreme wit ?
[02.07.2019 00:53:03] MRG|GN-Berger-: And helping your backwards nation into some semblance of civilisation ?
[02.07.2019 00:53:04] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: I would love to work on your face with my knife
[02.07.2019 00:53:16] Hans.von.Goeben: Mein Gott.
[02.07.2019 00:53:26] MRG|GN-Berger-: I'm guessing sitting here in Gallic space, threatening me badly with uninspired quips is much easier.
[02.07.2019 00:53:38] MRG|GN-Berger-: Ah, the typical work-shy Kusarian.
[02.07.2019 00:53:43] Hans.von.Goeben: Is such bilateral banter really necessary?
[02.07.2019 00:53:47] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Oh my bad, I thought you were into that
[02.07.2019 00:53:51] MRG|GN-Berger-: No wonder we melted that puny fleet of theirs in one afternoon.
[02.07.2019 00:54:04] MRG|GN-Berger-: I am asserting national dominance, monsieur.
[02.07.2019 00:54:10] MRG|GN-Berger-: Gallic law enforcement.
[02.07.2019 00:54:13] MRG|RNS-Nice: Louis: Monsieur, please, there is no need to brag about the past.
[02.07.2019 00:54:32] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: He needs to when there is no future
[02.07.2019 00:54:46] MRG|GN-Berger-: One could argue, commandant, that this past is very much the present when you are presented with... This.
[02.07.2019 00:55:10] MRG|GN-Berger-: Anyhow. You mentioned cardamine. Come and show it to me.
[02.07.2019 00:55:29] MRG|RNS-Nice: Louis: The past is over and forgotten. The present forms the future. So don't screw things up, soldier.
[02.07.2019 00:55:31] MRG|GN-Berger-: Let's see if you aim as badly as that tongue of yours.
[02.07.2019 00:55:39] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: I asked if you wanted it. Didnt say you would get it
[02.07.2019 00:55:53] MRG|GN-Berger-: Gallia never asks, or requests. It demands.
[02.07.2019 00:55:55] MRG|GN-Berger-: I demand it.
[02.07.2019 00:56:03] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Cardamine is reserved for the superiour people
[02.07.2019 00:56:21] MRG|GN-Berger-: Oh, clearly, and it's worked wonders for said people, has it not ?
[02.07.2019 00:56:33] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: It has actually
[02.07.2019 00:56:35] MRG|RNS-Nice: Louis: I'm not even sure if you can call them "people"...
[02.07.2019 00:56:38] Hans.von.Goeben: Misaki...have you seen their weaponery?! Are you suicidal?
[02.07.2019 00:56:43] MRG|GN-Berger-: *He scoffs*
[02.07.2019 00:56:49] MRG|GN-Berger-: I wouldn't, commandant.
[02.07.2019 00:57:33] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Hans, dont worry so much
[02.07.2019 00:58:10] MRG|GN-Berger-: *Checks his expensive wristwatch* Well, I should probably be somewhere else, doing something smarter.
[02.07.2019 00:58:26] MRG|RNS-Nice: Louis: Wait a minute...
[02.07.2019 00:58:42] MRG|GN-Berger-: On your word, commandant !
[02.07.2019 00:58:44] MRG|GN-Berger-: I'll be happy to !
[02.07.2019 00:58:47] MRG|GN-Berger-: Just say it !
[02.07.2019 00:58:50] MRG|GN-Berger-: One word shall suffice !
[02.07.2019 00:58:54] MRG|GN-Berger-: The glove is ready to fly !
[02.07.2019 00:59:02] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Is he going to commit Seppuku?
[02.07.2019 00:59:10] MRG|RNS-Nice: Louis: Major, I believe removing this little troublemaker would be beneficial to my plans.
[02.07.2019 00:59:12] Hans.von.Goeben: *shakes head* Come on, folks...
[02.07.2019 00:59:30] MRG|RNS-Nice: Louis: The situation is not perfect, but it's a good start I guess.
[02.07.2019 00:59:31] MRG|GN-Berger-: You do ? Though it isn't my place, I would agree with your assessment of the situation. Commandant.
[02.07.2019 01:00:06] MRG|RNS-Nice: Louis: It may seem like just a little task, but it might be useful at a later date.
[02.07.2019 01:00:37] MRG|GN-Berger-: *grabs something from the spacecraft equivalent of a glove compartment*
[02.07.2019 01:00:40] MRG|RNS-Nice: Louis: I am just a little concerned about that civilian. But we can deal with him afterwards.
[02.07.2019 01:00:45] Hans.von.Goeben: Isn't there any way to resolve this diplomatically...?
[02.07.2019 01:00:50] MRG|GN-Berger-: I trust he will make no trouble.
[02.07.2019 01:01:00] MRG|GN-Berger-: *He sighs*
[02.07.2019 01:01:05] MRG|GN-Berger-: *And replaces the glove*
[02.07.2019 01:01:11] MRG|GN-Berger-: I suppose the law demands it.
[02.07.2019 01:01:14] Hans.von.Goeben: [...]
[02.07.2019 01:01:31] MRG|RNS-Nice: Louis: I wish I could trust him just like that. But for now, there are more important things for us.
[02.07.2019 01:01:44] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Wait, what did Hans do?
[02.07.2019 01:01:50] MRG|GN-Berger-: Madame Misaki, by order of his Majesty the Roi, Charles the Eleventh, may his glory last for a thousand years...
[02.07.2019 01:01:52] Hans.von.Goeben: Good question!
[02.07.2019 01:01:56] MRG|RNS-Nice: Louis: Major Berger, you are free to challenge the Kusarian.
[02.07.2019 01:02:08] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: I am free to refuse
[02.07.2019 01:02:19] MRG|GN-Berger-: I, major Jerome Berger, gendarme au service de sa Majeste, demand that you either leave the premises at once...
[02.07.2019 01:02:38] MRG|RNS-Nice: Louis: Civilian vessel, please stand by near the Freeport. If you get into the crossfire or cause us any problems,
[02.07.2019 01:02:49] MRG|RNS-Nice: you will be destroyed without an second warning.
[02.07.2019 01:02:51] MRG|GN-Berger-: *He grabs a glove and throws it at his onboard cam* Or FACE ME in an honourable duel.
[02.07.2019 01:03:08] Hans.von.Goeben: By Terra, what a lenghty exposee.
[02.07.2019 01:03:15] MRG|GN-Berger-: Sorry, it is the law.
[02.07.2019 01:03:34] MRG|RNS-Nice: Louis: I believe the situation doesn't need anymore explaination. Major, you may now begin.
[02.07.2019 01:03:43] MRG|GN-Berger-: Oui, commandant. Merci, commandant.
[02.07.2019 01:03:48] MRG|GN-Berger-: En garde, vilaine !
[02.07.2019 01:03:52] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: oh
[02.07.2019 01:03:55] Hans.von.Goeben: Sheesh.
[02.07.2019 01:03:56] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: You talk to me
[02.07.2019 01:04:12] Hans.von.Goeben: Best of luck then. *salutes to Mikasi*
[02.07.2019 01:05:10] Hans.von.Goeben: *The service bot hands Hans a smal bag of popcorn* ...
[02.07.2019 01:06:55] MRG|GN-Berger-: You should yield while you can !
[02.07.2019 01:07:36] Hans.von.Goeben: Out of curiosity, mon seigneur...what happens if she backs down?
[02.07.2019 01:07:40] Hans.von.Goeben: Like, in surrendering?
[02.07.2019 01:07:41] MRG|RNS-Nice: Louis: Major, the lanes are blocked. Keep up the good fight, this is your chance to impress a superior.
[02.07.2019 01:08:00] MRG|GN-Berger-: Fair treatment.
[02.07.2019 01:08:12] MRG|GN-Berger-: But she'll have to recognise Gallic superiority.
[02.07.2019 01:08:22] Hans.von.Goeben: *squints eyes* ...would she live?
[02.07.2019 01:08:26] MRG|GN-Berger-: naturally
[02.07.2019 01:08:56] Hans.von.Goeben: *continues squinting his eyes* ...under inter-Sirian humanitary standards?
[02.07.2019 01:09:17] MRG|RNS-Nice: Louis: Sirian standards are far below ours, monsieur.
[02.07.2019 01:09:32] Hans.von.Goeben: Of course they are...
[02.07.2019 01:09:44] MRG|GN-Berger-: By all accounts, monsieur.
[02.07.2019 01:10:30] Hans.von.Goeben: *stuffs his face with popcorn*
[02.07.2019 01:10:35] Death: GC-Yunoki.Misaki was put out of action by MRG|GN-Berger- (Gun).
Goddamn, shouldn't 'ave rested maybe able tah talk some sense into tha Gauls. Officially ah can't do a damn thing about this, hands are tied in these matters. Ah can pass it up tha chain and see if any other Zoners want tah file a official complaint or somethin' but beyond that, can't do much. Ah'll try to be more vigilant in future, these gauls are fixin for a brusin' from Zoners personally. Shame, was all fun and games until they arrived as usual spoilin' tha party.

Konnichiwa Max,
The Freeport seemed to be hostile to the cheese people of the west. Does this mean the Zoners are in open confrontation with the MRG? I have never seen the freeport fire at anyone before without provocation. So this little detail makes me curious on the current affairs.
Message:
Ah dunno chickpea, not exactly any official person. Ah'll add OSI, IRG an Velvet Command see if thay can figure out the official Zoner response t' this mess.

As the transmission begins, Melissa smiles sweetly as she begins to speak in a calm and collected voice..
"Max, thank you for bringing this to my attention. Now, my friend Commander Blaine Chara is the current standing administrator of Freeport 6, however, I have not heard from her in some time. I will endeavor to contact her privately, as this is her main area of expertise. My default response here would be that of 'Lets not get involved' but ultimately the idea of the Zoner community being put at any form of risk is not something I will sit idly for. We will send two Fearless Q Ships, the Indus and the Topaz to Freeport 6 to act as a deterrent force. I'll oversee this personally. Max, for now, I would like you to bounce between Freeport 6 and Freeport 10, and keep me updated. You and the team on the Nyx are doing a good job. If you need further assistance, I will ask Babur Khan on the Multan to assist as well.
Miss Misaki, I know Mr. Von Goeben, as he is a member of the Consensus. I will await for Max's final say as well as his before making any rash decisions. Until then, thank you for making me aware of this."
