While on my post in and around the Frankfurt system, I was given a station to the Sigma 15 system. While there I continued my patrol to the farthest trade lane and the border of our territory, being Freeport 8. There I found some not so friendly faces. Namely, the GMG.
There were four vessels to note, besides myself. Gemuh.Guh, Gas.Sniffer, SDF-Alessandra, and Lea Kaufman. The last was a freelancer, who seemed to be getting almost interrogated by the Gas Miners Guild vessels, supposedly called Gemuh Guh and Gas Sniffer. After that they were not to amicable about my presence. And did not seem to very much like Rheinland. They gave multitple threats, and it seemed a fight was inevitable. It only got worse when SDF-Alessandra, A Core battleship who was seemingly keeping the peace, turned against us as well. Frau Kaufman left, and I decided to follow suit. Things would have gotten rough otherwise.
After that, I talked with Kaufman in Frankfurt, who seemed to affirm my thinking. Apparently, she was under threat of attack as well by them. I will give my recording of both below. As well, I have identification of the vessels in question if the need were to arise.
Things would have gotten violent there. I do not know what you wish to make of them, however I have had more peaceful interactions with the Guild in this system, and the Core was unfathomable to turn against us. Wether they are rogue bandits, or just against Rheinland, I will leave that to Oberkommando to decide. Nonetheless, I would believe it to be much safer were these threats vanquished, to both Rheinland itself and all civilians in the area, which were also threatened.

[07.08.2023 00:04:24] Gas.Sniffer: Are you a spy or what?
[07.08.2023 00:04:32] Lea.Kaufman: No!
[07.08.2023 00:04:35] Gemuh.Guh: Unreal.
[07.08.2023 00:04:39] Gas.Sniffer: Kinda sus, not gonna lie.
[07.08.2023 00:04:51] Gemini.Kay: Sus?
[07.08.2023 00:04:57] Gas.Sniffer: Short for suspicious.
[07.08.2023 00:04:57] Gemuh.Guh: Sus.
[07.08.2023 00:05:01] Gemini.Kay: Oh!
[07.08.2023 00:05:03] Lea.Kaufman: *sighs* Guess you just like to believe what you want with out proof.
[07.08.2023 00:05:04] Gas.Sniffer: Sus.
[07.08.2023 00:05:15] [RM]Obl-Jurgen.Schmidt: ...What?
[07.08.2023 00:05:28] Gemuh.Guh: Well. We do believe what we want to believe. This is our space after all.
[07.08.2023 00:05:35] Lea.Kaufman: Those GMG believes I'm a spy just because you appeared.
[07.08.2023 00:05:39] Gemuh.Guh: Which by the way, isn't welcome to Rheinland military.
[07.08.2023 00:05:39] Gas.Sniffer: Yeah, tell him, Guh!
[07.08.2023 00:05:43] Gemuh.Guh: Or their subsidiaries!
[07.08.2023 00:05:58] Gemuh.Guh: The story checks out though.
[07.08.2023 00:06:09] Gemuh.Guh: We talk to you, and then this pig comes along!
[07.08.2023 00:06:15] [RM]Obl-Jurgen.Schmidt: The system of Luneberg is under high supervision by the Rheinwehr.
[07.08.2023 00:06:17] Lea.Kaufman: And I do remember I didn't break GMG's laws.
[07.08.2023 00:06:28] Gas.Sniffer: Last time i checked, this is Sigma-15.
[07.08.2023 00:06:30] 2023-08-07 00:06:34 SMT Traffic control alert: Revemberton has requested to dock
[07.08.2023 00:06:34] Gas.Sniffer: Might want to update your starcharts.
[07.08.2023 00:06:45] Gas.Sniffer: Or does the Military have not enough money for that?
[07.08.2023 00:06:52] Gemuh.Guh: Well if we find proof that you called the Rheinland soldier, you /would/ be breaking our laws!
[07.08.2023 00:07:05] Gas.Sniffer: Yeah!
[07.08.2023 00:07:13] Lea.Kaufman: Well, I wish you good luck because I did nothing like that.
[07.08.2023 00:07:29] Gemuh.Guh: We'll be the judge of that.
[07.08.2023 00:07:33] Gas.Sniffer: Yeah!
[07.08.2023 00:07:44] Gemuh.Guh: Now Rheinland soldier boy, leave our space.
[07.08.2023 00:07:48] Gemuh.Guh: Or be forcefully removed.
[07.08.2023 00:07:54] Gas.Sniffer: Go tell him, Guh!
[07.08.2023 00:08:27] [RM]Obl-Jurgen.Schmidt: Last I checked this is a freeport.
[07.08.2023 00:08:40] Gas.Sniffer: Do you see a Zoner around?
[07.08.2023 00:08:42] Gemuh.Guh: Last I checked, Rheinlanders aren't welcome to the Sigmas.
[07.08.2023 00:08:52] Gas.Sniffer: Bro, you are so destroying him!
[07.08.2023 00:09:12] [RM]Obl-Jurgen.Schmidt: The Gas Miners Guild has observed neutrality toward Rheinwehr possessions in this space.
[07.08.2023 00:09:17] Gemuh.Guh: The Freeport is allowed but not the system.
[07.08.2023 00:09:24] Gas.Sniffer: We will siege it, someday.
[07.08.2023 00:09:32] Gas.Sniffer: Probably.
[07.08.2023 00:09:38] Gemuh.Guh: Yeah! Down to the Rheinfools!
[07.08.2023 00:09:42] Gas.Sniffer: Yeah!
[07.08.2023 00:10:07] [RM]Obl-Jurgen.Schmidt: Due to controversies in language and judgement I can only assume you are rogue elements with the Guild -
[07.08.2023 00:10:16] [RM]Obl-Jurgen.Schmidt: - and are to be treated as a fake.
[07.08.2023 00:10:17] Gas.Sniffer: Nah, we the real deal.
[07.08.2023 00:10:24] Gas.Sniffer: Just more upfront about it.
[07.08.2023 00:10:28] Gemuh.Guh: Well on the contrary. I'd say that you're a rogue element of the Rheinwehr!
[07.08.2023 00:10:34] Gas.Sniffer: Ooof.
[07.08.2023 00:10:40] Gemuh.Guh: To be dumb enough to incur into /our/ space!
[07.08.2023 00:10:42] Gas.Sniffer: That is a sick burn.
[07.08.2023 00:10:48] Gemuh.Guh: Hah! Gotim!
[07.08.2023 00:11:00] Gas.Sniffer: Bro, you are so cool!
[07.08.2023 00:11:05] Xi-13: Correction. You have neither "blighted" nor "burned" this individual.
[07.08.2023 00:11:14] Gemuh.Guh: Alright, shut up robot.
[07.08.2023 00:11:20] [RM]Obl-Jurgen.Schmidt: Finally, perhaps this freelancer might talk some sense into these two.
[07.08.2023 00:11:23] Gas.Sniffer: Fucking vacuum cleaners talking.
[07.08.2023 00:11:28] Gemuh.Guh: Yeah, roomba.
[07.08.2023 00:11:34] Gemini.Kay: Hello, Caliban!
[07.08.2023 00:11:38] Caliban: Hey.
[07.08.2023 00:11:43] Gas.Sniffer: Nah, the Freelancer is allowed here.
[07.08.2023 00:11:46] Gas.Sniffer: We cool with that.
[07.08.2023 00:11:46] [RM]Obl-Jurgen.Schmidt: Herr Caliban.
[07.08.2023 00:11:52] Gemini.Kay: Uhm, it is a bit heated here.
[07.08.2023 00:11:54] Caliban: Officer.
[07.08.2023 00:12:06] [RM]Obl-Jurgen.Schmidt: You know anything about these Rogue elements?
[07.08.2023 00:12:15] Gemuh.Guh: He has a Rheinland ship but he ain't no Rheinlander from our databases.
[07.08.2023 00:12:16] Gas.Sniffer: You are a Rogue element!
[07.08.2023 00:12:17] Gemuh.Guh: He's cool in my books.
[07.08.2023 00:12:27] Caliban: Rogue elements. Being...?
[07.08.2023 00:12:33] Gemuh.Guh: Liberty Rogues, duh.
[07.08.2023 00:12:44] Gas.Sniffer: Wait, what?
[07.08.2023 00:12:44] Caliban: So the Rogues themselves. Yeah, I do.
[07.08.2023 00:12:49] Caliban: What of it?
[07.08.2023 00:12:52] Gas.Sniffer: I mean, yeah.
[07.08.2023 00:12:54] Gas.Sniffer: Liberty Rogues.
[07.08.2023 00:12:55] Gemuh.Guh: He thinks we're Liberty Rogues.
[07.08.2023 00:12:59] Gemuh.Guh: I think he's drunk.
[07.08.2023 00:13:01] [RM]Obl-Jurgen.Schmidt: I have high suspicions of the GMG vessels, not *literal* rogues.
[07.08.2023 00:13:02] Gas.Sniffer: That officer really is drunk.
[07.08.2023 00:13:04] Gemuh.Guh: Too much Rheinbeer perhaps.
[07.08.2023 00:13:22] [RM]Obl-Jurgen.Schmidt: Who have threatened to open fire.
[07.08.2023 00:13:23] Gas.Sniffer: Man, they really are letting anyone be an officer in the military these days.
[07.08.2023 00:13:31] Gas.Sniffer: He lying.
[07.08.2023 00:13:41] Gemuh.Guh: We haven't threatened to open fire.
[07.08.2023 00:13:41] Gas.Sniffer: We have threatend noone.
[07.08.2023 00:13:47] Gemuh.Guh: We said we would forcefully remove you.
[07.08.2023 00:13:50] Gemuh.Guh: Nothing about fire.
[07.08.2023 00:13:59] Gas.Sniffer: Yeah, we could just ram you back to Rheinland.
[07.08.2023 00:14:00] Lea.Kaufman: Isn't it the same thing?
[07.08.2023 00:14:03] Gas.Sniffer: Nah.
[07.08.2023 00:14:06] Gemuh.Guh: Nah.
[07.08.2023 00:14:07] Caliban: Can't stay I know much of those two in particular. Not that I'd want to get involved with that problem in particular, Officer.
[07.08.2023 00:14:10] SDF-Alessandra: A: Wo wo, who will remove to who?!
[07.08.2023 00:14:21] Xi-13: Alert. Core capital asset in range.
[07.08.2023 00:14:39] Gas.Sniffer: Now this is getting interesting.
[07.08.2023 00:14:46] Gemini.Kay: Hello, Alessandra!
[07.08.2023 00:14:48] Gemuh.Guh: So what are you gonna do Core Officer?
[07.08.2023 00:14:52] Gemuh.Guh: Got an AI there.
[07.08.2023 00:14:53] Gemuh.Guh: Blow it up.
[07.08.2023 00:14:55] Caliban: Anyway.
[07.08.2023 00:15:05] Gas.Sniffer: That roomba has been talking shit.
[07.08.2023 00:15:07] [RM]Obl-Jurgen.Schmidt: War Vessel Alessandra.
[07.08.2023 00:15:11] [RM]Obl-Jurgen.Schmidt: Guten tag.
[07.08.2023 00:15:30] SDF-Alessandra: A: This is a safe zone, and no one will engage under Zoner No Fire Zone, anyone doing it, i will make sure will blow outta here
[07.08.2023 00:15:42] Gemuh.Guh: Well... There are no Zoners around.
[07.08.2023 00:16:02] Lea.Kaufman: I never thought to see a Core acting as a zoner.
[07.08.2023 00:16:11] [RM]Obl-Jurgen.Schmidt: I believe the Core is acting as the Zoner in this regard.
[07.08.2023 00:16:14] Lea.Kaufman: I wonder how the guildmaster would act, learning this.
[07.08.2023 00:16:14] Gas.Sniffer: There is a first for everything, spy.
[07.08.2023 00:16:41] Gemuh.Guh: Hey.
[07.08.2023 00:16:43] SDF-Alessandra: A: We the Core and personally me, respect this law, even against enemies...
[07.08.2023 00:16:47] Gemuh.Guh: The AI is away from the zone
[07.08.2023 00:16:48] Gemuh.Guh: GET HIM!
[07.08.2023 00:16:57] Gemuh.Guh: I'm reporting this to the Core!
[07.08.2023 00:16:59] Gas.Sniffer: The Core really is slacking, huh.
[07.08.2023 00:17:02] Gemuh.Guh: You have abandoned your post and mission!
[07.08.2023 00:17:17] Gas.Sniffer: Tell him, Guh!
[07.08.2023 00:17:32] Lea.Kaufman: As if they would stand a chance anyway. A capital ship is slow.
[07.08.2023 00:17:42] Gas.Sniffer: Its the thought that counts!
[07.08.2023 00:17:49] Gemuh.Guh: Well leave already so we can push this Rheinman back to Rheinland.
[07.08.2023 00:18:01] Gemuh.Guh: Where he Rheinbelongs.
[07.08.2023 00:18:08] Gas.Sniffer: OH!
[07.08.2023 00:18:12] Gas.Sniffer: That was sick!
[07.08.2023 00:18:15] SDF-Alessandra: A: You too rheinland, what is your reason on here?
[07.08.2023 00:18:26] Gemuh.Guh: Yeah. Rhein Land.
[07.08.2023 00:18:28] Gas.Sniffer: He invading our space!
[07.08.2023 00:18:32] Gemuh.Guh: This ain't no Rhein Space.
[07.08.2023 00:18:37] Gas.Sniffer: Its Gas space!
[07.08.2023 00:18:57] [RM]Obl-Jurgen.Schmidt: ...This is on the edge of Rheinland space?
[07.08.2023 00:19:05] [RM]Obl-Jurgen.Schmidt: What more reason do you need?
[07.08.2023 00:19:07] Lea.Kaufman: I won't say it to you because you are unknown to me. It is between the guildmaster and I, Alessandra vessel.
[07.08.2023 00:19:10] Gas.Sniffer: Nah.
[07.08.2023 00:19:16] Gemuh.Guh: Correct. Edge of Rheinspace where you don't belong!
[07.08.2023 00:19:20] Gemuh.Guh: Because this is Gas Space
[07.08.2023 00:19:23] Gas.Sniffer: The edge is back in Munich!
[07.08.2023 00:19:31] Gas.Sniffer: This full blown GMG space!
[07.08.2023 00:19:37] Gemuh.Guh: Yeah. Go bother some Corsairs!
[07.08.2023 00:19:43] Gas.Sniffer: Or get your asses kicked by them!
[07.08.2023 00:19:49] Gemuh.Guh: Yeah!
[07.08.2023 00:19:51] Gas.Sniffer: Yeah!
[07.08.2023 00:19:53] SDF-Alessandra: A: You better leave, or even if you being a Rheinlander, i will make sure laws are applied here,your limits ends in Mecklenburg
[07.08.2023 00:20:04] Gemuh.Guh: Wooo he's on our side!
[07.08.2023 00:20:11] Gas.Sniffer: Yeah, obviously!
[07.08.2023 00:20:14] Gas.Sniffer: We are in the right here!
[07.08.2023 00:20:30] SDF-Alessandra: A: Now i will ask "Politely" to return to your limit into Rheinland Space ...
[07.08.2023 00:20:39] Lea.Kaufman: This is ridiculous.
[07.08.2023 00:20:41] Gas.Sniffer: And take that spy with you!
[07.08.2023 00:20:50] Gas.Sniffer: You are ridiculous!
[07.08.2023 00:20:51] Gemuh.Guh: Yeah! Take that skank of a spy away too!
[07.08.2023 00:21:15] [RM]Obl-Jurgen.Schmidt: This is a freeport. This system is an asset of Rheinland. And I am here on duty for the patrol of Mecklenberg and-
[07.08.2023 00:21:22] Gemuh.Guh: If she ain't a spy, why is she Rheinland, am I right?
[07.08.2023 00:21:29] [RM]Obl-Jurgen.Schmidt: Wichter station. Along with the assets of SEO
[07.08.2023 00:21:32] Gas.Sniffer: Yeah, you are right.
[07.08.2023 00:21:41] SDF-Alessandra: A: Move rheinlander ...
[07.08.2023 00:21:42] Gas.Sniffer: Bro, we blowing that shit up.
[07.08.2023 00:21:44] Gas.Sniffer: Someday.
[07.08.2023 00:21:46] Gas.Sniffer: Probably.
[07.08.2023 00:21:52] Lea.Kaufman: Because I am a Rheinlander because I was born in Rheinland.
[07.08.2023 00:21:57] Gas.Sniffer: Sucks to be you.
[07.08.2023 00:21:58] Gemuh.Guh: If you close your eyes, that station is already gone!
[07.08.2023 00:22:05] Gemuh.Guh: Well, you should've been born Kusari!
[07.08.2023 00:22:12] Gas.Sniffer: Or anything else!
[07.08.2023 00:22:16] [RM]Obl-Jurgen.Schmidt: Core vessel you have no jurisdiction here.
[07.08.2023 00:22:17] SDF-Alessandra: A: I hope you got papers for you to suit that equipment captain Lea
[07.08.2023 00:22:19] Gemuh.Guh: Sounds like a birth issue.
[07.08.2023 00:22:33] Gas.Sniffer: Yeah, loosing since birth.
[07.08.2023 00:22:52] Lea.Kaufman: I told you, that's between the guildmaster and I.
[07.08.2023 00:23:04] SDF-Alessandra: A: And what you are gonna do Rheinlander? I mean, you will respect this "No Fire Zone" right?
[07.08.2023 00:23:21] Lea.Kaufman: And I am also about to report you to him since you act weird unlike those I know.
[07.08.2023 00:23:31] Gemuh.Guh: Well, you're weird!
[07.08.2023 00:23:39] Gas.Sniffer: She is definitely a spy.
[07.08.2023 00:23:45] Gas.Sniffer: A normal person wouldn't such thing.
[07.08.2023 00:23:46] Gemuh.Guh: I knew it!
[07.08.2023 00:23:47] [RM]Obl-Jurgen.Schmidt: I could ask you the same thing.
[07.08.2023 00:23:48] Gas.Sniffer: Yeah!
[07.08.2023 00:24:02] Gemuh.Guh: Why would she be able to talk to the Guildmaster directly if she wasn't a spy?
[07.08.2023 00:24:08] Gemuh.Guh: And how would she talk to him directly?
[07.08.2023 00:24:12] Gemuh.Guh: Our great K.G Namura.
[07.08.2023 00:24:14] Gas.Sniffer: Go get her, tiger!
[07.08.2023 00:24:20] Lea.Kaufman: Because I saved his life.
[07.08.2023 00:24:26] Gas.Sniffer: Uhu.
[07.08.2023 00:24:36] Gemuh.Guh: Hah. I don't remember hearing of that at all.
[07.08.2023 00:24:39] Gas.Sniffer: And I am the queen of Bretonia.
[07.08.2023 00:24:51] Lea.Kaufman: It happened in the omicrons.
[07.08.2023 00:24:59] Gemuh.Guh: Guildmaster... In the Omicrons?
[07.08.2023 00:25:01] Gas.Sniffer: I got crowned in New London.
[07.08.2023 00:25:07] Gas.Sniffer: See, we can all talk shit.
[07.08.2023 00:25:09] Lea.Kaufman: Of the Core.
[07.08.2023 00:25:15] Gemuh.Guh: This sounds a little looney tunes....
[07.08.2023 00:25:21] Gas.Sniffer: Definitely a spy.
[07.08.2023 00:25:30] Gemuh.Guh: Yeah. Leave our space!
[07.08.2023 00:25:52] Lea.Kaufman: Yeah whaterver... by your nonsense of spy, it tired me.
[07.08.2023 00:25:59] Gemuh.Guh: Yeah, then go away!
[07.08.2023 00:26:00] Gemuh.Guh: Shoo!
[07.08.2023 00:26:04] SDF-Alessandra: A: -Why rheinland will not understand about his limits are in Mecklenburg Station ... *sigh*
[07.08.2023 00:26:05] Gemuh.Guh: Outta this system!
[07.08.2023 00:26:06] Gas.Sniffer: Back to rheinland you go!
[07.08.2023 00:26:11] Gemuh.Guh: Go home Rheingirl!
[07.08.2023 00:26:12] Gas.Sniffer: See ya!
[07.08.2023 00:26:15] Gas.Sniffer: Nevah!
[07.08.2023 00:26:17] Gas.Sniffer: Hehe.
[07.08.2023 00:26:45] SDF-Alessandra: A: Just leave and make everyone happy
[07.08.2023 00:26:53] Gemuh.Guh: Yeah Rheinman!
[07.08.2023 00:26:54] Gas.Sniffer: You heard the Core ship!
[07.08.2023 00:26:56] Gemuh.Guh: Go home!
[07.08.2023 00:27:02] Gas.Sniffer: You drunk!
[07.08.2023 00:27:06] Gemuh.Guh: Haha! Another day saved by GMG!
AFTERMATH:
Code:
[07.08.2023 00:30:52] [RM]Obl-Jurgen.Schmidt: That was... odd..
[07.08.2023 00:31:25] Lea.Kaufman: Really odd. Those GMG pilots were real clowns and that Core too. A word I will share to the guildmaster himself.
[07.08.2023 00:31:52] [RM]Obl-Jurgen.Schmidt: I never get paid enough for this. I'd rather fight the whole Red Hessian Army alone than loose any more sense to their rambling
[07.08.2023 00:32:02] [RM]Obl-Jurgen.Schmidt: And the Core vessel was the cherry on top.
[07.08.2023 00:32:37] Lea.Kaufman: Mhm.
[07.08.2023 00:32:45] [RM]Obl-Jurgen.Schmidt: I've either gone whack or there'll be some uproar soon
[07.08.2023 00:33:13] Lea.Kaufman: It was already about to go hot when they arrived.
[07.08.2023 00:33:21] BDM|Hresvelgr: Hmm. Jurgen.
[07.08.2023 00:33:27] [RM]Obl-Jurgen.Schmidt: Really? They were going to attempt your life as well?
[07.08.2023 00:33:45] [RM]Obl-Jurgen.Schmidt: Ah, guten tag, BDM agent
[07.08.2023 00:33:47] Lea.Kaufman: No but they were insisting hard.
[07.08.2023 00:34:34] [RM]Obl-Jurgen.Schmidt: I'm glad I got out when I did. Things would have gotten hot real fast
[07.08.2023 00:34:44] BDM|Hresvelgr: Ah. Verzeihung. Perhaps you do not remember me.
[07.08.2023 00:34:56] [RM]Obl-Jurgen.Schmidt: The Core would've tried to shoot me down themselves if they could have. Bloodthirsty one, it was.
Für den Kaiser! Für das Volk! Für Rheinland!
Hochachtungsvoll,
