Doing a deep sweep of system I came across LH RobinHood at the Rogue installation Buffalo. I engaged the pilot and a new contact arrived on my scanners [SU]Sith.Driskell. The slaver opened fire upon me and I destroyed both vessels. This act of hostility shall not go unnoticed or unpunished. It is my recommendation SU vessels now be treated as hostile. I captured Driskels pod and took it to Manhattan. I understand the criminal is to be transfered to LPI Sugarland soon although we have no confirmed date on this.
A regretable move frm the Slavers Union who had worked hard to remain on a neutral footing and blew it all on 1 minute of madness! Violence against LPI, SA or LSF craft is an attack on the Liberty Goverment itself. We shall see how this slaver enjoys hard labour on Sugarland!

"Gentlemen, I have come across something very disturbing.
As I was finishing up my day trading I noticed Perfect.Circle[Merc] flying above New Berlin. Since I know of the mercenary and freelancer ban in Rheinland these days I scanned him.
I also noticed something far more troubling.
I obviously could not leave these brave men (not the Hessian) in the hands of this criminal man. Alas there were no RM pilots in space at this time. So I called to him and offered to buy the pilots from him.
It sickens me that this degenerate got money for his criminal actions but the alternative was leaving Liberty pilots in this guy's hands.
I took the Liberty pilots to Manhatten General.
Please, deal with this fraud, he appeared to be green on my HUD."

This is most disturbing. Thank you, Mr Groteck, for reporting this violation of Liberty law. Congress is near it's final vote on the new Liberty Penal Code, which mandates 75,000,000 credit fines in response to kidnapping. Hopefully, this individual will be brought to justice.

.. Greetings comrades,
This is merely a smuggling advisory. The following image is direct from my Avenger's blackbox.
Smuggler caught coming inbound with Artifacts. Refused to stop and fled to Manhattan, later returning with a cargohold of other contraband (as shown above). He's escaped Liberty once again and is still at large. Ignore everything he says, for it is most likely an attempt to mislead you. If he says he will pay a fine or stop for you, he is likely lying.
.. Moreover, the Luxury Liner "Takuma" was also caught smuggling Artifacts today, although I was unable to retrieve the recorded data after a long chase.

Responded to an emergency call from LPI Marshall while on training excercises regarding a Rogue fighter in a Ravens Talon, designation: Golden Aim. Mustering our force of =LSF=Arazima.Fezim, [SA]-Saber and myself our wing of 1 Avenger, 1 Guardian and my own Raven Claw proceeded to Manhattan at top speed.
Arriving swiftly the Talon attempted to flee but was unable to escape Fezim's cruise disruptors. The fight was over very quickly as the Rogue's Talon exploded before us.

.. The following is an eventful activity report;
After receiving a distress signal from the California system, we learned that an Outcast battleship had occupied the region nearby Alcatraz. With a joint effort of LSF agents, a Bounty Hunter Cruiser, and a Mercenary we were able to down the beast without any losses. The following data is pulled directly from my Guardian's blackbox;
The Mercenary Bomber "Proserpine" landed the final blow to the vessel. I'm aware that Proserpine has been moved to shoot on sight status for some of the Liberty Forces, but until I've been given direct orders by either Sniper or Liquid I shall not engage the Mercenary under any circumstances. In my experiences, he has proven to be a very reliable gun for hire.
.. Though I do remember the day he turned on us in his quest for the bounty on Days of Thunder. Regardless, I will not acknowledge any order to engage this Mercenary unless it has been given to me directly either by Sniper or Liquid, one of the two. Proserpine engaged the Graviton willingly, without asking for any compensation in return.
Afterwards, I encounter a Rogue nearby West Point taxing traders. He seemed to be flying what appeared to be a medium-sized "heavy" fighter of some sort. He was rather slippery at first, but it was nothing that couldn't be dealt with easily;
.. As I'm departing West Point, I hear tale of another hostile at Fort Bush. With the aid of our newest recruit Motown and a local Liberty Battlecruiser, we were able to down Teknikal's Gunboat fairly easy, as he could not escape my CD's. Again, the Mercenary engaged the hostile willingly, without asking for any compensation in return.

Subject: Zoners hostilities to Liberty Navy
Admirals, on patrol today with a combined patrol of LSF and SA units we encountered a breach of protocol with a registered Zoner, going under the callsign of vendhyan. Long ranged scanners showed a contact leaving Zone 21. We moved to engage and caught the ship at the minefield. What we saw horrified us. A Zoner flagged and ID'd Osiris Battleship. The LNS Scottsdale pegged them with a cruise disruptor so that we could hail them and the Zoner immediately opened fire upon us, inflicting heavy damage upon the Scottsdale and destroying a Havoc bomber from the Scimitar Wing. After we ordered the Zoner to leave Liberty space, he flagrantly ignored the order and threatened Liberty forces.
It is my recommendation that this ship be considered hostile on sight, a complaint with the Zoner council be filed immediately, and an inquiry be launched into the Zoners supposed neutrality.
This is the last footage from Flight Officer Garrison Rosh's gun camera. He managed to eject, but was thrown into the minefield. He is presumed lost.
This is what the Missouri picked up from the comm chatter. This "Zoner" is obviously hostile.
The services for Flight Officer Garrison Roe will be held on Thursday at 11:00pm aboard the LNS Missouri.

This is simple gentlemen, i am a Zoner, have been for a very long time.
I fire only when fired upon or when protecting Zoner traders in the Omicron's.
I visited NY today on business, I visit once a month for an hour and have never had a problem before.
You fired upon me and brought me out of cruise, surprised by the event i fired back, and i shall do so every single time someone fires on me.
If you wish for me to stop, and query a conversation just say so over system comms instead of pressing the fire button.
Consider me hostile, add me to whatever list you want but know that i
never open fire first for i am a Zoner first and foremost.
The death of your pilot was the result of your own actions, and many deaths to come i predict if this is how you treat visitors.
