Commodore Graham,

First I would like to offer my congratulations on the fine job the LSF has performed in locating a base that was neither new nor secret. As Peona Outpost approaches it's 18th month in service the temerity and dedication of the LSF to swiftly identify possible threats to liberty proves that your ship captain and staff are deserving of its reputation within the public community.

On receipt of your transmission I immediately notified the IND legal team, of which I'm sure you are aware one branch comprises a block of downtown buildings in central Manhattan. With our attorneys hard at work I have been advised to offer the following:

I. We are surpised the that LSF would be contacting us with regards to business matters such as licensing and fees. That is not the normal pervue for the LSF which is an intelligence gathering agency. Would it not be normal procecdure to have the department of commerce convey this message?

II. The transponders on your message are somewhat dated. Could you please confirm that you are primary fleet of the Liberty Security Force and that you are acting under confirmed orders of your admiralty?

III. The payment routing information of "Ferris.Dufresne" is not a known governmental entity within Liberty. Without proper routing credentials being confirmed, payment could not possibly be transferred.


To wit, we have contacted Superior Circuit Court Judge Stephens on the matter and an injuction prohibiting further action on your part has been issued. A writ of habeas corpus has been filed to establish confirmation of your identity as well as whether you have authority to issue such demands for fines; the reasoning for the non-governmental bank routing information provided; and whether you have jurisdictional authority in the matter.

In addition, as we were contacted by the management of Blackport 66 within the system, a base with whom we have done business and has similar issues regarding the awkwardness of your transmission, we have included Blackport 66 as an additional plaintiff in the legal proceedings and the injunction and stay apply to them as well.

I'm sure that in time this can be settled through the courts. I'm told that an initial hearing could well be possible within the next five years or so.
