It has come to my attention that there is a group calling themselves Guardian Fugitive Recovery that has an axe to grind with Junkers. The GRF attacked a Pilgrim liner on a trade lane in the New York system a day ago. They told the captain of the ship they were collecting a bounty and he quickly relayed this information to Rochester before the ship was shot out from under him. They told the witnesses that showed up that they were firing in self defense. A gunboat / gunship combo was in danger against the big bad pilgrim and needed to act in self defense.
Later they accused me personally of being in cahoots with an Outcast operating in New York. I never left Rochester, but this is a good attempt at smoke and mirrors to distract attention from what they were doing. I actually give them praise for this, it's the kind of thing I would do and a brilliant move.
This is a far cry from a ship being lost in the far reaches of the border worlds. This was an attack on a trade lane in the heart of Liberty. A very bold move and a great middle finger to the law of Liberty. They obviously do not care about law and order so watch your scanners and be careful.
