MESSAGE

A quick missive to update us all on a new player sticking their nose where they should not; a ship bearing the identifier of 'ONS' attempted to stop me in Cortez without stating a reason beyond 'an investigation', and only succeeded once we had reached Inverness. Yersinia Pestis met me at the jump hole in Inverness and we, after some grandstanding, chased him out of our system without coming to blows:

Code:
[26.04.2018 14:09:19] ONS|Mason.Chandler: Good day.

[26.04.2018 14:09:30] A/)-Smokestack: Hello.

[26.04.2018 14:09:59] ONS|Mason.Chandler: Pilot, stop your ship, please.

[26.04.2018 14:10:15] A/)-Smokestack: May I ask why?

[26.04.2018 14:10:21] ONS|Mason.Chandler: No.

[26.04.2018 14:10:30] ONS|Mason.Chandler: I gave you an order and you comply.

[26.04.2018 14:10:51] A/)-Smokestack: That's not giving me much of a reason.

[26.04.2018 14:11:25] ONS|Mason.Chandler: Then you don't give me much of a choice.

[26.04.2018 14:11:36] A/)-Smokestack: That's not very neighborly.

[26.04.2018 14:12:59] ONS|Mason.Chandler: You asked to be stopped by force.

[26.04.2018 14:13:05] A/)-Smokestack: I asked for nothing.

[26.04.2018 14:13:12] ONS|Mason.Chandler: In my eyes you did.

[26.04.2018 14:13:17] A/)-Smokestack: I don't really care.

[26.04.2018 14:13:20] A/)-Smokestack: What do you want?

[26.04.2018 14:13:33] ONS|Mason.Chandler: You were asked to stop and did not obey.

[26.04.2018 14:13:33] A/)-Yersenia.Pestis: Huh.

[26.04.2018 14:13:39] A/)-Smokestack: I don't take orders from you.

[26.04.2018 14:13:48] ONS|Mason.Chandler: I'm afraid you have to.

[26.04.2018 14:13:54] A/)-Smokestack: I have to do nothing.

[26.04.2018 14:14:04] A/)-Yersenia.Pestis: You're clearly out of your own zone of jurisdiction.

[26.04.2018 14:14:08] A/)-Yersenia.Pestis: Your argument is invalid.

[26.04.2018 14:14:08] A/)-Smokestack: I will now depart for deeper in the system.

[26.04.2018 14:14:10] ONS|Mason.Chandler: Then I don't have to explain what you were being stopped for.

[26.04.2018 14:14:24] A/)-Smokestack: That's that then.

[26.04.2018 14:14:25] ONS|Mason.Chandler: That is not how this is going down.

[26.04.2018 14:14:36] A/)-Smokestack: You come into our system.

[26.04.2018 14:14:39] ONS|Mason.Chandler: You were stopped in Cortez, clearly within my jurisdiction.

[26.04.2018 14:14:39] A/)-Smokestack: You stop our pilots.

[26.04.2018 14:15:05] A/)-Smokestack: Leave. Now.

[26.04.2018 14:15:07] A/)-Yersenia.Pestis: And pray tell, why would you stop a pilot for no legitimate reason?

[26.04.2018 14:15:24] ONS|Mason.Chandler: An investigation is a legitimate reason.

[26.04.2018 14:15:51] ONS|Mason.Chandler: There doesn't have to be a committed crime or similar for me to be allowed to stop you.

[26.04.2018 14:16:01] A/)-Yersenia.Pestis: I don't think LSF officers are allowed to "Investigate" civilians, let alone stopping them.

[26.04.2018 14:16:03] A/)-Smokestack: I say you are in the wrong, and you are trespassing.

[26.04.2018 14:16:05] A/)-Smokestack: Last chance.

[26.04.2018 14:16:08] ONS|Mason.Chandler: Then you are heavily mistaken.

[26.04.2018 14:16:22] ONS|Mason.Chandler: Are you trying to threaten me?

[26.04.2018 14:16:27] A/)-Smokestack: I'm not trying.

[26.04.2018 14:16:30] A/)-Smokestack: Get out.

[26.04.2018 14:16:35] A/)-Yersenia.Pestis: How is this a threat? We're asking you to kiss off.

[26.04.2018 14:16:44] A/)-Yersenia.Pestis: Kindly, though.

[26.04.2018 14:16:58] ONS|Mason.Chandler: Last chance indicates that if I do not use it, you will attack.

[26.04.2018 14:17:04] ONS|Mason.Chandler: Therefore, a threat.

[26.04.2018 14:17:10] A/)-Smokestack: Correct. That is a promise, not a threat.

[26.04.2018 14:17:12] A/)-Smokestack: You are not welcome.

[26.04.2018 14:17:14] A/)-Smokestack: Leave.

[26.04.2018 14:17:33] ONS|Mason.Chandler: You think you can just escape by using a jumphole to your system? You think that grants you immunity?

[26.04.2018 14:17:37] A/)-Smokestack: Yes.

[26.04.2018 14:17:38] A/)-Yersenia.Pestis: It does.

[26.04.2018 14:18:02] A/)-Smokestack: In the spirit of our ceasefire you are not already dust.

[26.04.2018 14:18:06] A/)-Smokestack: That's pretty generous.

[26.04.2018 14:18:08] A/)-Smokestack: Take my offer.

[26.04.2018 14:18:09] A/)-Smokestack: Go.

[26.04.2018 14:18:23] A/)-Yersenia.Pestis: If I were you, I'd comply this generous offer.

[26.04.2018 14:18:30] ONS|Mason.Chandler: I am looking forward to our next encounter.

[26.04.2018 14:18:32] A/)-Yersenia.Pestis: Otherwise I'd have to inform your next of kin.

[26.04.2018 14:18:39] A/)-Yersenia.Pestis: That you weren't listening.

[26.04.2018 14:18:55] A/)-Yersenia.Pestis: Well guess what? We don't.

[26.04.2018 14:19:00] A/)-Yersenia.Pestis: Don't show yourself here again.

[26.04.2018 14:19:04] ONS|Mason.Chandler: Too bad.

[26.04.2018 14:19:04] A/)-Yersenia.Pestis: Kiss off, right.

[26.04.2018 14:19:12] A/)-Yersenia.Pestis: Chop chop!

I thought we had an understanding with Liberty? Neither of us were carrying anything that Liberty would consider illegal. Whatever the reason, there would seem to be a need for more caution when flying around the border worlds.

This concludes my report.
