COMM ID:Lt. Commander Daniel Redding TARGET ID:Liberty Navy Reporting Center SUBJECT:Defecting Rheinland Military Officer & Political Asylum ENCRYPTION:Medium PRIORITY:Medium
Good evening Command, earlier today Lt. Cmdr. Nicole Bradley from the 5th fleet and I encountered a pilot from the Rheinland Military going by the name JW|Lavender.Bra flying right outside Planet Manhattan. Initially, Lt. Cmdr Bradley wanted to escort the Rheinlander out of Liberty as he claimed he had arrived seeking political asylum at Kusari. He stated that apparently his battlegroup was accused of treason by the Rheinland government and was then wiped out, and that he had barely escaped through the Liberty side of the border and not through the Sigmas unfortunately. His intention was to travel through Liberty and arrive at Kusari to apply for political Asylum.
As he does not have the freedom of movement in Liberty, I asked a Judge Advocate General (JAG/Military Lawyer) to take his case pro bono and forward his application for political asylum to the Federal Government's Immigration and Nationalisation Service. He is currently being held at the brig at the Battleship Missouri. After his application is sent in, he should have freedom of movement throughout Liberty, with a few conditions attached (for example, editing his IFF transponder and getting a new, civilian ship). During this time I am trying to send out feelers to the 404 Agency to see if they might send someone over to interrogate him as the subject is an Officer of the Rheinland Military, however I have been quietly notified that they may have more pressing concerns to attend to. So I will see if I can get someone from ESRD to review his case and conduct an interrogation as he may have some intelligence we can use about Rheinland. I will update my progress as soon as possible.
Sincerely, Lt. Commander Daniel Redding, 1st Fleet, [LN]
