I'll tell you the same thing I told to the Samuran Chief of Personal: If you wish to monitor our activities, we'll be more than glad to offer you an office within our facilities.
*Several people in the background of the transmission are heard making loud noises and chanting the word 'rabble'.*
Konnichiwa,
It appears you have situated yourself in a very inauspicious area for our benefactors. Crime in the far Sigmas has decreased by forty percent in the past two decades. It is a good thing that the Freeport consumes so few supplies, as some convoys may be lost to the very heathens that are sheltered onboard. Irony is so pleasing sometimes, really, but, what can one do? Laugh at the misfortunes of others is one solution I find very pleasing, and certain benefactors would see some as quite unfortunate...
*Rabbling continues, but the transmission fades out.*
Transmission Lost...
[8:32:45 PM] Dusty Lens: Oh no, let me get that. Hello? Oh it's my grandma. She says to be roleplay.
[12:49:19 AM] Elgatodiablo: You know its nice that you have all that proof and all, Bacon... but I just don't believe you.

I for one enjoyed my stay at your lovely Freeport.
I had a nice drink, some well deserved sleep, and then used one of your rooms to SLEEP SOUNDLY.
The decor was fantasic, so homely, and the ornate knives?
Cut through THE LOVELY PIE I BOUGHT WELL.
I must admit, the room looked better WITH RED-TINTED LIGHTS.
I will be returning, because the apple pie you serve is... heavenly!
I would kill for it! Infact, IT WAS GORGEOUS.

It seems that Seb is angry for some reason...
I slept and had some pie that I totally bought, and now he frames me for murder. What a shame...
No evidence, and no records?
Poor management skills Mr LaHoue...
No matter, it's your choice to kick out and innocent passer by.
Not all it could turn out to be, this place... such a shame that it can't follow Zoner traditions...

From: Guild Master Taro Katsuo
Location: Gas Miner Ogashawa, Sigma-19
Konnichiwa LaHoue-sama!
I am Taro Katsuo, one of the five Guild Masters of the Gas Miners Guild.
Personally, before I bring word from the Guild, I must say that I'm very glad to see another Freeport in the Sigmas. I remember the day all those years ago, when Freeport 7 was destroyed. I lost some very good friends on that dreadful day, one that I wouldn't like to experience again.
Now for the matter at hand. The Guild will recognize this new installation of Freeport 18, and its surrounding No Fire Zone. We will also be increasing our patrols in the system of Sigma-17 to ensure the safety of our Zoner allies, and any hostile action taken towards you will bring a military response from us, for we do not wish to see another Freeport burn.
Our convoys will also use the Freeport as a checkpoint to drop off required supplies, such as H-fuel and other necessities. We hope that the presence of a new Freeport in Sigma-17 will be mutually beneficial for our two groups.
We understand that you'll be allowing docking rights to more scrupulous groups, such as the Corsairs. We wish to express our concerns, but also expect you not to allow people loitering and using the station to stage attacks.
We also caught wind of a murder committed on your Freeport, one of our pilots I'm afraid. We lost a patrol some time ago and haven't heard from them since. We'll be looking into this matter and would like your full cooperation regarding the investigation.
