Let's put it this way.


This isn't the first time we've seen and caught Congress vessels with an illict cargo, which, by the way, Tau-29 is influenced by Kusari and the Exiles in the area, who wouldn't be too happy to know about such ferrying, especially which of who'm are probably headed into Liberty.

Second of all.

All of our vessels give a 'timer-chance' - during these moments, if a vessel fails to respond, or retreats in silence, they will be engaged. Which is exactly what your 'higher' did. The vessel was stopped, and failed to answer, not even a 'hello' was peeped out of him. They retreated to Baffin and suffered that fate. Had they truly wished for a peaceful outcome, they would have responded and kept idle.

Allow me to elaborate on some things.
Are we killers? No. But essentially, that's a matter of perspective. We've all killed something in our lives, lest it be a little bug, to hundreds of thousands of crew members. But even so, we like to get the job done, while allowing some kind of chance of one to justify themselves. Because we're all Human and we can rationalise, correct?

And to answer your bigger question: Why?
Because not only is that substance dangerous, it's also contracted by multiple organisations to hire people to dispose of the said substance. This resource is also the main economy for the house known as the Maltese, the Outcasts. I don't think many people would be happy indeed.

So please, do not attempt to deceive me by throwing out the word "innocent" - No one is guilty, no one is innocent. I'm interested to hear an explanation of why he was hauling in the first place? Perhaps you could vindicate this accused speculation more than he 'did'?

Regards,
S. Raven
