SUBJECT: Omega 7 incident

Guten Tag
Mein name is Kommissar Steiner of the Rheinland Federal Polizei. We have received a complaint from a group of junkers called Junker Marauders about ships from your 2 companies being involved in a fight against them in Omega 7 recently.

To: BHG|
As much as we appreciate the work the BHG is doing in keeping all kinds of criminals at bay, and as much as the Junkers are always on the very borderline of being criminals, in this incident it appears that they have not broken any laws of our Bundesrepublik and as such were not eligible for a bounty within Rheinland. I would like for the Guildmaster of the BHG to explain the involvement of his pilot in this incident.

To: Reavers
The same goes for you as well. Please explain what your man was doing attacking the Junker ships in Omega 7.

I expect an answer from you soon.

Steiner out....

I was the one flying the ship that engaged the junkers in Omega 7. I did so because that group has a consistent bounty placed on their heads by another faction. I don't remember any laws that prevent us from freely engaging our targets on your territory. I would also like to remind the representative of the Bundesrepublik that the Bounty Hunters Guild is doing a lot for improving the security of Rheinland and has done so for quite a while now.

Signed,
Moshu, former Guildmaster of the BHG

Kommissar,

I hope your question was rhetorical. I'm sure that you're aware that we, the Reavers, are mercenaries. So why would one of my pilots shoot one of your precious Junker Marauders? Because someone wants those Marauders dead, and is willing to pay us - handsomely - to make it happen.

Any more questions?
