I wish to apologize for my Lt.'s entrance into Cambridge today. She was hailed by your ships just as she was entering the Omega-5 jumphole, and had no time to respond. We have no hostile intent, and hope to remain neutral for the time being.
I also wish to inform you that your pilots have been reengaging, and standing right next to our pilots, when we supposedly "reengaged your pilots after they shot them down." Are we supposed to just sit there while we're shot at by your dead pilots?
Kaine out.
I am a long-absent Supreme Commander, Executive Commander, Grand Admiral, Fleet Admiral, and Captain in the mighty Hellfire Legion. I have returned, and am on an urgent mission from Drake Thastus to return the Legion to its former glory, and to claim the galaxy for its own. Only then will I be able to rest.
RP Story (Still deciding whether or not to finish)
Comm. ID: SF Cadet Photuin To: SF High Command ***URGENT***
HF wants a war. After attacking OUR vessels throughout Sirius, they claim to have revoked <Screenshot> our peace agreement. I am cornered, on Battleship Rio Grande, after escaping through Kusari. <NPC KNF slaughter to avoid HF>
<HF has also reengaged our pilots after they shot them down.>
On a lighter note, the Mollys pilot Spazz became my first combat kill, shot down over Dublin's sun.
ooc: Oh we didn't re-engage, we attacked a different ship in a different system. And then somehow Photuin and I ended up shooting each other again. I realized the mistake and went for the new Battlecruiser but he kept on firing. So yeah, just a little issue no worries there....
I would like a full report on why your vessel was in Colorado? And you are to report to New London for deployment into the Dublin and Leeds sectors.

OOC: So basically, Photuin was sidelined, reentered the area (i'm guessing to watch) but then you reengaged by accidentally targeting his ship? K, if that is the case, I would expect Photuin to defend himself as I'm sure you and I would. And I'm guessing once you switched targets you never sent an apology for the shooting (ie "Oops wrong target"), in which case he likely didn't know you switched targets (not everyone is a mind reader).

I would hope that continued incidents between our two factions do not continue. Particular since we've already had one HF pilot engaging members in Cambridge (whom I consider to be rogue) and now this. I've given orders for my faction not to engage your forces, does the HF not have the same control over its members? If the control over your faction is there then what am I to conclude...that the HF lulls its victims into a sense of peace before backstabing them?
Your status within Bretonian space is the same, but my suggestion is avoid further incidents with our vessels.
I was part of a failed raid in Kusari Space <failed due to HF attack>. While I recovered in Freeport 6, I was cut off from Leeds by HF. So, I took the long way through Kusari, destroying dozens of KNF ships in then process. I thought that it was easier to go through Liberty space (instead of Rheinland) to get back to Bretonia. <No PvP in NY> I forgot that the Lane Hacker/HF base was in the Magellan system, so I got even closer to HF.
Was there any provocation for the HF attack in Magellan?
I'm not quite following how an attack on Kusari failed due to HF intervention? Did they assist the Kusari or attack at the same time as your intended raid? Whom did they attack?

Negative you reengaged our pilots without any attacks from SF forces. I have screenies showing you reengage the Cichlid but unfortunately not of you destroying tetra. Your intent is violent and I will be reporting this to my C.O. Stop reengaging dead pilots.The HF has grown more and more viloent towards the SF. We were engaged and killed in Kyushu and then when moved to tau-29 the HF showed up and engaged us a second time after the fact I pointed out we had already been engaged. I do not trust the words of Captain Kaine as no SF or any pilots in their right mind should. I will still hold the same rep with HF as the admiral insists but if anymore attacks like this happen again I will report it.

There have been repeated reports of interventions into our affairs in areas of Sirius which are well beyond HF's control. These occur despite my orders for your escorted access to Bretonian space and non-involvment in your affairs. This situation is unacceptable. Consequently, HF are denied access to Bretonian space. If ANY of your forces are found in Bretonia they will be escorted to the quickest destination out of the system.
If unprovoked attacks continue against SF forces, a bounty of $5 million credits will be placed on HF vessels found within Bretonian space and we will openly assist the SA in driving your group back to Vesspucci.
They have not attacked me in Magellan, because I have not set foot in that system <yet?>, although it may be tempting for them since it is so near one of their bases.
In the Kyushu system, there was a three-way battle: 3 SF fighters, Kusari <npc>, and a team of HF, Including a destroyer. They were not assisting Kusari, as they probably hate them as much as any other house.
