Comm ID: Captain Richard Bong
To: All Agents of Liberty
Today, I encountered the personal fighter of Vice Admiral Delphinius in the process of registration. The Vice Admiral ordered me to continue patrolling or train, and I chose to meet and assist a LSF agent in California. The agent invited me into a classified comm channel, where we discussed the activities of the notorious terrorist leader piloting the Atalawohisdi, who had been obstructing trade operations in New York.
Being aware of my lack of jurisdiction within Northern space, I waited at the New York jumpgate for 10 minutes. Midway through, an ally who was an employee of an unidentified security form appeared and my scanners showed him as the flier of a Nepthys fighter. I questioned him to this, and he promised to get a proper ship, aiming for a BDR-854 Avenger. I informed him of the permissions required, but reassured him his superiors should have no trouble acquiring a proper license for the ship.
Eventually, the LSF agent, the other allied ship and the pirate arrived. We fought the pirate for several minutes at the gate and he continued to complain he was being unfairly and aggressively attacked. I tried to explain to him several times his legal predicament but he continued to complain and eventually fled. We chased him throughout the system, at several points disrupting trade lanes to prevent his escape and ultimately ending the chase at the Ontario jump hole, under suggestion of Agent Fluid. The area there is ambigious in jurisdiction, and I am unsure of his current status.
The terrorist leader then spoke over private comms to me, stating that I was a coward hiding behind numbers and that he had not been a coward in running from justice. I then returned to Virginia and signed off at the LNS Petersburg.
