Ever since my entry into the Council and the Flottilla I had little issues on my way to Liberty with the Orange Dream, and on the way back with workforce to replenish fragile human resources on the fields of Malta. Of course on occasion the Craytenes or Battlegroup Arrogance stood in my way, but I eventually shook them off of my tail in no time (in one instance with the help dalla egregia Signora Mercier, grazie tanto Signora).
What surprised me however is that today one of those religious lunatics from Baffin decided to take on me this time, trying to force me to unload my fellow workers I was carrying onto their station and not to carry them further, even if it would be against their will. Of course I resisted and after a chase longer than usual I managed to slip away and return to Malta with the ship in one piece and all those onboard safe and secure. Guncam was malfunctioning at that time, so all I can present is the conversation between the two of us, which is attached at the end of the message.
Such hypocrisy wouldn't surprise me from any of our enemies, but as far as I know our stance with the TAZ is neutral by the Nacion's mercy and because they were harmless to our operations until now. If I'm wrong, correct me, if I'm right, then it has changed, and the TAZ decided to turn against us. From the looks of it while they have big ships, like that Q-Ship I encountered today, they don't seem to have many. If I have any say in this matter, I'd advise removing this minor, but significant tumor from our path along the Barrier Pass, shouldn't take long, I'm sure about that.
Ho finito, signori e signore. Per La Nazione, per Malta.

[05.10.823 08:42:03] NC-ET-Orion~V:I'm not.
[05.10.823 08:42:11] NC-ET-Orion~V:These are not slaves and I'm not bringing them to Baffin.
[05.10.823 08:42:24] NC-ET-Orion~V:Now if you mind, I'll continue my way to the Tau systems.
[05.10.823 08:42:30] NC-ET-Orion~V://*don't mind
[05.10.823 08:42:42] NC-ET-Orion~V:I told you to cool your guns.
[05.10.823 08:43:04] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet:Hagbard: well, according ro my scannes you carry slaves, thats not allowed in baffin
[05.10.823 08:43:20] NC-ET-Orion~V:Your scanners are malfunctioning then.
[05.10.823 08:43:29] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet:Hagbard: therefore i have to fine you.
[05.10.823 08:43:32] NC-ET-Orion~V:These aren't slaves, these are workers.
[05.10.823 08:44:31] NC-ET-Orion~V:Do I look like stupid enough to bring slaves into Baffin when I know local laws forbid such?
[05.10.823 08:44:32] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet:Hagbard: you bring those slaves or workers as you call them to the skyhook
[05.10.823 08:44:37] NC-ET-Orion~V:Thoughts like that are borderline insulting.
[05.10.823 08:45:12] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet:Hagbard: and after that you will speak a prayer for eris
[05.10.823 08:45:15] NC-ET-Orion~V:These workers have legal contracts signed by them without anyone forcing them.
[05.10.823 08:45:39] NC-ET-Orion~V:I'm not going to let you enslave them while you preach your hypocrisy.
[05.10.823 08:46:04] NC-ET-Orion~V:These are innocent people being intercepted on their way to work.
[05.10.823 08:46:25] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet:Hagbard: your next destination is the skyhook where you let them free
[05.10.823 08:46:38] NC-ET-Orion~V:Would you really force them onto your Skyhook against their will?
[05.10.823 08:47:11] NC-ET-Orion~V:They are already free and decided to come with me to work. I'm providing them taxi service.
[05.10.823 08:47:27] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet:Hagbard: when they are at the skyhook they are free to do what they want, if they wanna go to
[05.10.823 08:47:51] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet:Hagbard: malta, new tokyo its on their own
[05.10.823 08:48:00] NC-ET-Orion~V:And what if they want to come with me again? Will you turn me around again and again to your skyhook?
[05.10.823 08:48:28] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet:Hagbard: but you will carry them to the skyhook
[05.10.823 08:48:37] NC-ET-Orion~V:Your outdated scanners are malfunctioning, the only one seeing slaves here is you.
[05.10.823 08:48:46] NC-ET-Orion~V:What don't you understand?
[05.10.823 08:49:07] NC-ET-Orion~V:Is this what your Eris teaches you to do? Enslave while preaching against slavery?
[05.10.823 08:49:08] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet:Hagbard: in that case you are a victim of my old scanner
[05.10.823 08:49:54] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet:Hagbard: the skyhook, please
[05.10.823 08:50:02] NC-ET-Orion~V:Alright, to the skyhook then. But if they stay onboard to continue their way on my ship to Malta, they will.
[05.10.823 08:50:16] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet:Hagbard: no
[05.10.823 08:50:29] NC-ET-Orion~V:You just admitted wanting to enslave them.
[05.10.823 08:50:44] NC-ET-Orion~V:Are they free once on the Skyhook or not?
[05.10.823 08:51:17] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet:Hagbard: they are free and you are not allowed to bring slaves into baffin
[05.10.823 08:51:31] NC-ET-Orion~V:Are you imbecile? How many times do I have to tell you?
[05.10.823 08:51:34] NC-ET-Orion~V:They.
[05.10.823 08:51:35] NC-ET-Orion~V:Are.
[05.10.823 08:51:37] NC-ET-Orion~V:Not.
[05.10.823 08:51:39] NC-ET-Orion~V:Slaves.
[05.10.823 08:51:53] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet:Hagbard: if they wanna go to malta they need another taxi service
[05.10.823 08:51:56] NC-ET-Orion~V:They are free people currently being forced against their will onto your skyhook by nobody else, but you.
[05.10.823 08:52:00] NC-ET-Orion~V:Why?
[05.10.823 08:52:06] NC-ET-Orion~V:Why can't they come with me if they want?
[05.10.823 08:52:13] NC-ET-Orion~V:Are you forcing them against their will?
[05.10.823 08:52:20] NC-ET-Orion~V:That's the definition of slavery, did you know?
[05.10.823 08:52:27] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet:Hagbard: because its the wish of eris
[05.10.823 08:52:44] NC-ET-Orion~V:Wish of Eris, my balls.
[05.10.823 08:53:09] NC-ET-Orion~V:You'll regret your blindness as well as your malfunctioning scanners.
[05.10.823 08:53:29] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet:Hagbard: maybe, but not yet
[05.10.823 08:53:36] NC-ET-Orion~V:Just a matter of time.
[05.10.823 08:55:01] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet:Hagbard: the skyhook
[05.10.823 08:55:27] NC-ET-Orion~V:I'm not letting you enslave any of these free people, in whomever's name you want it to do.
[05.10.823 08:56:49] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet:Hagbard: bring them to the skyhook, say your prayer and leave baffin unharmed
[05.10.823 08:57:00] NC-ET-Orion~V:And what about these people?
[05.10.823 08:57:09] NC-ET-Orion~V:I'll not leave them in your care.
[05.10.823 08:57:15] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet:Hagbard: otherwise you have to face the consequences
[05.10.823 08:57:27] NC-ET-Orion~V:I did not trust you too much before, now I have even less reasons to trust you.
[05.10.823 08:57:37] NC-ET-Orion~V:You better not talk about consequences.
[05.10.823 08:59:02] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet:Hagbard: looks like you dont care about your "workers"
[05.10.823 08:59:09] NC-ET-Orion~V:I do care.
[05.10.823 08:59:17] NC-ET-Orion~V:That's why I'll not let you get them.
[05.10.823 09:00:31] NC-ET-Orion~V:And what if you catch me, but I won't submit? Will you shoot this ship open and leave all these poor souls here in open space?
[05.10.823 09:01:08] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet:Hagbard: eris will protect them
[05.10.823 09:01:18] Discovery Freelancer is a role-playing server. All attacks must be the result of some form of role play. Shouting "Engaging" or "Halt" is not sufficient.
[05.10.823 09:01:21] NC-ET-Orion~V:Are you religious fanatics all this dense?
[05.10.823 09:01:44] NC-ET-Orion~V:I wish the Nacion would have eradicated all of you already.
[05.10.823 09:02:12] NC-ET-Orion~V:But after this I assume it'll just be a matter of time.
[05.10.823 09:02:21] NC-ET-Orion~V:Weeks, months, and you are gone.
[05.10.823 09:03:01] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet:Hagbard: thats the decision of eris
[05.10.823 09:03:32] NC-ET-Orion~V:No, if it happens, it'll be the decision of Malta, and your Eris won't save you.
[05.10.823 09:05:04] NC-ET-Orion~V:It seems even Eris doesn't want you to catch me.
[05.10.823 09:05:07] NC-ET-Orion~V:Why bother then?
[05.10.823 09:05:10] [TAZ]Zonenrandgebiet:Hagbard: you are abour to loose your ship if you dont bring them to the skyhook
