Greetings to the officials of the RFP.

I am Adam Wayland, Deputy Arbiter of the Junker Congress. I am addressing you on this incident:

I see as the actions of the RFP officer were too harsh and carried away regarding the severity of the situation. The RFP officer employed lethal force on a captain who committed only minor offense against the law. Doing so, the RFP officer endangered the lives of the entire crew manning that ship. As you know, Salvager ships usually serve as homes for families and clans of Junkers, and by destroying the ship, the officer put children and women in danger.

The Congressman abided the orders of the officer, he came back to him when he was told to. He could have fled, but he did not. He also was willing to pay the fine, but his vessel was destroyed nontheless. The Congress captain's actions were a bit slow (under influence maybe, is there any solid proof on that?), but he was willing to cooperate. I see as the officer lost his patience during the incident, and took the easier way to solve the situation. Even warning shots were not fired, he charged the Salvager with the intent of destruction. Is this the method they learn during their training?

I would like you to release the Congressman, and let him defend himself at large. We already dispatched a lawyer to deal with this. Please address any standing fines to me.

Awaiting your response.
.:j:.Adam Wayland, Deputy Arbiter

Congressman Weyland

I am a bit perplexed by this incident as we rarely do come about drunken captains in our patrols. More like drunk in stupidity but that's besides the point.

Allow me 24 hours to discuss the situation with mein officers that dealt with your Congressman and the tests taken upon his admittance in Veirlande before we go any farther than needed.

After having several encounters with Congress vessels in the past, lets try to keep this event from boiling over into a fiasco shall we?

Greetings, Inspekteur Artura.

First, my name is Wayland, not Weyland, but I presume that was a mis-spelling.

I also think we should not make a big case from this. I am awaiting the results of your investigation.

As director of operations for this house, I feel that I should weigh in on this. He was clearly drunk, he put his crew at risk. He insulted the officer. Although the situation could have been avoided, he was impaired and failed and faced the consequences. Therefore, he will pay the fine and his next ship will have a breathalyzer installed on it. Rheinland can conduct its own investigation and punish its own pilots, but my decision is final. If he doesn't like it, He can fly elsewhere.
