I'm sorry Nomad Killer, but I'm beginning to believe their side as well after having seen the camera footage. Yes, you were heading out of Liberty space, but this could have been done without people dying.

I think it needs to be said here that The Order exists to protect humanity, even if they consider us terrorists by doing so. An Order pilot should never kill another human unless no other option presents itself, and if at any point negotiations can prevent more deaths, that is the preferrable option.

These actions are the kind that caused us to be branded as bloodthirsty terrorists in the first place. How can we be seen as protectors and guardians of Sirius when we continue to take action against others who claim the same? Our purpose it to stop alien threats, no other. It is bad enough that the bounty hunters force a war on us that we do not wish to engage in, but we cannot have more liberty blood on our hands.

I think the terms of the treaty need to be restated, I will be broadcasting more understandable terms within the hour.

Nomad Killer, however much I hate to do so I'm going to have to let this incident pass. We are too understaffed to let one of our Battleships or it's Captain be decommissioned right now, but you need to offer an apology here to the families of those who were killed, and remain outside of Liberty space unless invited in the future.

Commander Kimura Out.
