Greetings, Lane Hackers. As you may or may not be aware of, one of your boys, Mr. Sanguinetti, opened fire on a mining ship, one with particular sympathies for the NTF. While I've no problem with you firing on everyday miners, I'd like to make it very clear that the following are not to be fired on unless violating the terms of agreement we've laid out for them. These include...

A): Bringing any sort of warship into Kansas unless notified otherwise by NTF High Command. This includes gunboats and up.

B): Flying within ten kilometers of "Junction".

C): Not paying the mandatory mining tax. (All STF, TAZ, ZoE, and Junker vessels, coven excluded, are required to do this) This can only be confirmed by the NTF high command, however.

Currently, the list of "protected" miners include the STF, TAZ, ZoE, and Junkers. However, this excludes several small time miners who have been supporting our cause greatly.

I'll try to compile a more comprehensive list, but at this time the only ones that stand out are Walter F and ChampFreight. Neither of these two vessels should be fired on under any circumstance. If I have reports of our assets being shot down again, it will not be taken so lightly.

Executive Commander Enrico Rossini, out.
