Good day,
And to think the days of the Archangel FIghters Club was put to rest. These races are not an issue however when it comes to your participants I hold you responsible. Gallic Intelligence Agency was participating in this race as it went through Liberty let alone our Capital Planet Manhattan is unacceptable. Mind explaining to me why you allowed this to happen? As I am sure you are aware Foreign Intelligence Agencies are prohibited in the Republic of Liberty. Allowing such a participant could strain the relationship we have with OS&C as putting money over the security of our house is not something that should be happening.

My apologies for the situation. The event in question assumed that racers would procure necessary clearances and permissions to participate on their own. As an inter-house organization, we have a strong interest in building bridges between all of our partner houses, including being a force for reconciliation with Gallia. We felt it was best to put the onus of securing docking privileges on our racers who wanted to participate rather than have an outright ban on our end. Our apologies that we did not do more due diligence to ensure that this Gallic pilot had the necessary permissions to be operating in Manhattan space. In the future, we will actively double-check such permissions, but ultimately we will have to take the word of these participants that they have made all necessary arrangements. Perhaps LPI removing Gallic Intelligence's docking privileges on Manhattan and other key locations would help clarify the situation about who is welcome and who is not in New York space.
Of course, we will not invite any criminal groups to participate in Liberty space as that is a flagrant violation of the law. In this case, it seems there was merely a miscommunication about permissions, one which we will be on the look out for in the future. Orbital thanks you and your officers for their continued vigilance in securing the tradelanes of the heart of Sirius, and we remain committed partners to the security and prosperity of Liberty and beyond.

Good day,
Let me be utterly clear with you. Who is and who isn't welcome in Liberty is located in this public section of the Neural Net called The Laws of Liberty. Those listed here in our laws under section 3 and section 9.3 are not welcome in Liberty to include the very listed Gallic Intelligence Agency that entered Liberty unlawfully. Saying you are not responsible for your racer's neglect is in fact false. It is the Organizers responsibility that all house laws are followed before starting a race which bears their name on it. I expect this to not happen again. If you require assistance in vetting your racers that are participating in a race located within the Republic of Liberty in the future please contact us in advance.
I hope to not have this conversation with you again. Good day.

I followed up with my subordinates about how something like this could happen, and they looked at me with confusion. Apparently, this pilot was not one of our registered racers as far as they know. We're combing through things on our end to double check, but if you could present some official documentation of this pilot's participation, it would greatly aid our efforts in streamlining our background checks for future races.
Alternatively, it may be possible that this person never registered at all and was simply using our event as a cover. In which case I feel that there really isn't terribly much we could to to prevent foreign intelligence services from reading our advertisements and offering our events as an excuse when caught. I am just a cruise liner captain, not a trained law enforcement officer. If you have specific guidance about how Orbital could crack down on that contingency, I welcome your expertise and suggestions, as I am at a loss as to how to prevent it.

Good day,
Anything is possible when it comes to organizing an event. If the Organizer in this case you had taken proper roll call and ID'ed every racer before starting it this could have been avoided. You need not worry about legal ramifications at this point. We here at the Liberty Police, Inc. Is giving you the benefit if the doubt and are asking you to be more careful in the future. Consider this just a verbal warning.

James Blackwood, my supervisor who is hosting the race in question, has asked me to reach out to quell this tinfoil hat conspiracy built by LPI. Ah of course we haven't met, I am Debby Wittleman, Executive Assistant here at Orbital Spa and Cruise. Unfortunately it appears that our gracious C.E.O. overestimated LPI's detective skills so I'll be presenting some public evidence showing that your verbal warning is unwarranted and misdirected due to your anger at, I believe the phrase is, "Being Had".
Of course lets start with your flimsy evidence, I've included our press release below, publicly announced on 12 July, showing not only ship types, and ship names, but racer names as well. None go by the moniker "Jakato". Furthermore none are using what most would consider an unsuitable race craft, a very heavy fighter variety. Which even the most novice racer would be aware that it is far to slow for even the most basic of competitions.
Now, personally I am appalled that in light of this most basic research gathering I was able to not only soundly put to rest LPI's supposed claims of "breaking the law" but I was able to do so with the most basic of search terms to pull up this publicly available information. In the future I would advise that LPI spend more than measly 2 hours performing their detective work before issuing a baseless accusation.
If there are any further questions don't hesitate to ask! ~Deb

Good day,
If you wish to continue doing business within the Republics Borders I would highly suggest you lower your tone and do as I asked in my previous message. We all know everyone loves to do under the table transactions and deals. We are watching you very closely. Continue to berate and insult wont get you anywhere and in fact could hurt your profits in the long run. Once word gets to the right ears about OS&C allowing Confederal Intelligence agencies in its races to come into Liberty im sure you can imagine the damage and reputation you would lose. You might think you are slick because you have a clever tongue but I assure you It wont work here.
Take the verbal warning and utilize us to help vet your participants and we can call this a day.

Good day,
So do you make it a habit of trying to upset Police Officers in every house you go in or just Liberty? If I need to use my influence to stop and search every OS&C vessel that enters Liberty I will. The safety of our Republic is absolute. I dont care how long it takes to do full searches either. Or you can just quit while your ahead and make me think you are in fact doing all you can to ensure the safety of your racers and of the house you are participating in.
