My name is Mia Trenton, I have recently taken over the position of Acting Arbiter within the Junker Congress.
I am contacting you today as I have a proposition for you. This is something I had hoped to do before the fact, however unfortunate as it may be, that was not possible.
PRIORITY:High ENCRYPTION:High IDENTIFICATION:Polizeidirektorin Laura Carsten SOURCE:RFP Direktorium Büros, Bonn station SUBJECT:Congress ships smuggling cardamine
Guten Tag, Fräulein Trenton. My name is Laura Carsten and I´m polizeidirektorin of the Rheinland Federal Polizei.
What a coincidence you sent message to polizei right now. You know, I was just about to contact you. I don´t know what proposition you have for us, but before we get to it, there is more urgent matter. I want to hear from you why Congress ships are transporting illegal cargo in form of cardamine inside Rheinland - in Hamburg system precisely - accompanied with another independent junker with same cargo. We have evidence about this which you can see hier...
You are correct in saying we were carrying this cargo through Rheinland. It was... acquired off a corporation who had intent to supply, and my pilots personal standing on this terrible drug caused a lapse in judgement in regards to taking it upon themselves to hand it over to the appropriate authorities.
I have been informed there was no Rheinland officials available for this to be disposed of appropriately within your house space. I am unsure of your current standing with the Liberty Police, but I implore you put any hard feelings aside in this situation, as this has kept many units of a very dangerous drug out of your house space. I can assure you it was handed over for destruction as you can see in the following logs:
[16.11.2015 00:32:12] Sapphire:Raven: Evening.
[16.11.2015 00:32:18] .:j:.Ambassador: Hello.
[16.11.2015 00:32:36] Sapphire:Raven: What a sight.
[16.11.2015 00:33:20] Sapphire:Raven: It's a really bad idea to, you know, keep silent?
[16.11.2015 00:33:30] .:j:.Ambassador: Hm, it would seem.
[16.11.2015 00:33:31] Sapphire:Raven: I honestly had higher morals of you.
[16.11.2015 00:33:36] .:j:.JunkerTrain: What would you like to talk about?
[16.11.2015 00:33:52] Sapphire:Raven: Your cargo.
[16.11.2015 00:33:58] .:j:.Ambassador: Oh?
[16.11.2015 00:34:10] Sapphire:Raven: Mmm.
[16.11.2015 00:34:14] .:j:.Ambassador: What about it?
[16.11.2015 00:34:22] Sapphire:Raven: Wouldn't it be a shame if someone saw this?
[16.11.2015 00:34:38] .:j:.Ambassador: I suppose it would be.
[16.11.2015 00:35:07] Sapphire:Raven: I mean, reputation is very important, especially for Junkers.
[16.11.2015 00:35:21] Sapphire:Raven: Wouldn't it be bad for business if someone were to find out that you are less reputable?
[16.11.2015 00:35:58] .:j:.Ambassador: Well yes and time is also rather important. What is it you are suggesting here?
[16.11.2015 00:36:41] Sapphire:Raven: Concealment. Make me think otherwise of this appearance.
[16.11.2015 00:37:11] .:j:.Ambassador: And what would you be requiring for this?
[16.11.2015 00:38:06] .:j:.Ambassador: Here, walk with me.
[16.11.2015 00:38:25] .:j:.Ambassador: After you?
[16.11.2015 00:39:34] Sapphire:Raven: I'd wager that you should estimate what I would think.
[16.11.2015 00:40:05] .:j:.Ambassador: Walk with us.
[16.11.2015 00:40:29] .:j:.Ambassador: I am not sure what you require.
[16.11.2015 00:40:32] Sapphire:Raven: Oh?
[16.11.2015 00:41:46] Sapphire:Raven: So. I'm going to assume you're not going to follow through?
[16.11.2015 00:41:52] .:j:.Ambassador: See, I am not sure how the Liberty police will take to bribery, considering this is on their way to them now.
[16.11.2015 00:42:07] .:j:.Ambassador: You are more then welcome to follow us if you wish.
[16.11.2015 00:42:14] .:j:.Ambassador: Or dont believe me.
[16.11.2015 00:42:26] Sapphire:Raven: I dont know about you, but smuggling is pretty bad.
[16.11.2015 00:42:36] Sapphire:Raven: Uh. Liberty Police?
[16.11.2015 00:42:41] Sapphire:Raven: In Hamburg?
[16.11.2015 00:43:00] .:j:.Ambassador: It was intercepted and taken from a ship, and as a law abiding citizen it is our job to hand it over to the authorities.
[16.11.2015 00:43:10] Sapphire:Raven: Did I say it was bribery? You interpetted it as that
[16.11.2015 00:43:27] Sapphire:Raven: You mean, destroy it?
[16.11.2015 00:43:39] Sapphire:Raven: I mean, what kind of vessel carries -that- much Cardamine?
[16.11.2015 00:43:46] .:j:.Ambassador: Well yes, You are welcome to follow us if you so wish
[16.11.2015 00:43:55] .:j:.Ambassador: Our escort should be on the way...
[16.11.2015 00:48:41] .:j:.Ambassador: Evening officer.
[16.11.2015 00:48:41] LPI-McDunnough[Lt.D]: Greetings Congress.
[16.11.2015 00:48:41] Sapphire:Raven: So you're telling me, that LPI are corrupt?
[16.11.2015 00:48:50] LPI-McDunnough[Lt.D]: Excuse me??
[16.11.2015 00:48:54] LPI-McDunnough[Lt.D]: I think not!!
[16.11.2015 00:48:58] Sapphire:Raven: That's what they said.
[16.11.2015 00:49:21] LPI-McDunnough[Lt.D]: Freelancer my information says theyre here to hand these goods over
[16.11.2015 00:49:27] Sapphire:Raven: Are they now?
[16.11.2015 00:49:31] Sapphire:Raven: Yeah - from Rheinland.
[16.11.2015 00:49:58] .:j:.'Rico_Defender: detective I have some prisoners if you want them
[16.11.2015 00:50:05] LPI-McDunnough[Lt.D]: Very good
[16.11.2015 00:51:08] .:j:.Ambassador: Shall we follow you? It will be good to see it destroyed.
[16.11.2015 00:51:18] Sapphire:Raven: You can literally eject it, right now.
[16.11.2015 00:51:42] LPI-McDunnough[Lt.D]: follow me we cannot properly dispose of it here
[16.11.2015 00:51:46] .:j:.Ambassador: It is better to destory it as per health and safety regulations.
[16.11.2015 00:58:21] .:j:.Ambassador: Lane seems to be broken, moving on to the next one.
[16.11.2015 00:58:37] LPI-Nick.Harrison[Lt]: 10-4
[16.11.2015 00:59:06] LPI-McDunnough[Lt.D]: Seems Junkers have reported finding some cardamine and are handing it over to LPI for destruction
[16.11.2015 00:59:35] Lick.A.Brick: Heey ladies.
[16.11.2015 00:59:44] Sapphire:Raven: Oh?
[16.11.2015 00:59:44] =LSF=Cheyenne.Mountain: So what's going on here?
[16.11.2015 00:59:47] .:j:.Ambassador: After you, officer.
[16.11.2015 00:59:48] LPI-McDunnough[Lt.D]: Congress ships move to adirondack for cardi confisication
[16.11.2015 00:59:54] .:j:.Ambassador: Copy that.
[16.11.2015 00:59:59] Sapphire:Raven: Confisication?
[16.11.2015 00:59:59] =LSF=Cheyenne.Mountain: Ah.
[16.11.2015 01:00:00] .:j:.Ambassador: That means you too
[16.11.2015 01:00:04] Sapphire:Raven: You said you were going to destroy it though...?
[16.11.2015 01:00:04] =LSF=Cheyenne.Mountain: I'll bring up the rear then.
[16.11.2015 01:00:06] LPI-McDunnough[Lt.D]: Thats right Raven
[16.11.2015 01:00:16] LPI-McDunnough[Lt.D]: you got a problem with that?
[16.11.2015 01:00:30] Sapphire:Raven: That more people might be infested by Cardamine?
[16.11.2015 01:00:41] Sapphire:Raven: Isn't it *your* job to protect people?
[16.11.2015 01:00:52] LPI-McDunnough[Lt.D]: it will be destroyed at adirondack as it is used to dispose of this junk
[16.11.2015 01:00:56] .:j:.Ambassador: Would you rather see this on the streets?
[16.11.2015 01:01:07] .:j:.Ambassador: I know I sure would not.
[16.11.2015 01:01:11] Sapphire:Raven: Out of curiosity, where did you obtain it?
[16.11.2015 01:01:13] LPI-McDunnough[Lt.D]: Raven im not sure what your hoping to accomplish here
[16.11.2015 01:01:42] LPI-McDunnough[Lt.D]: None of your business as that part of the investigation is being done by us. They are cooperating fully.
[16.11.2015 01:01:57] Sapphire:Raven: Still waiting on that answer, by the way.
[16.11.2015 01:02:15] LPI-Nick.Harrison[Lt]: over here Battlecookie
[16.11.2015 01:02:50] .:j:.Ambassador: Hmm, Seems to have taken some damage, officer. Would you like some repair comodities brought in for your engineers to work with?
I am more then aware this is most certainly not the way to go about this, and I am very aware it is still illegal in your space. I do apologise for this, and I am more then willing to pay whatever fines may come our way as a result of this pilots lapse of judgement, I can assure you we meant no harm here.
While in this instance, the information is partially accurate - I would suggest your source may have the potential to be, for lack of a better word, corrupt. As you can see in the initial logs, it would appear a bribe was requested to 'ignore' this little indiscretion.
Please feel free to contact me if there is anything further we are able to assist you with in regards to this.
PRIORITY:High ENCRYPTION:High IDENTIFICATION:Polizeidirektorin Laura Carsten SOURCE:RFP Direktorium Büros, Bonn station SUBJECT:Re: Congress ships smuggling cardamine
Guten Tag, Fräulein Trenton.
I´m quite surprised that none of the both Congress ships crews realized what they were doing. If they intended to destroy the cardamine secured from the original carriers
- by the way what was affiliation of them, where it happened and do you have any evidence from the insinuated encounter with these ships? -
they could hand over it to battleship Westfalen or police spaceport on planet Hamburg, both are not far from the documented location. Or they could destroy it on site - I can assure you that concentrated fire from any weapons intended for space combat and making holes in the hulls is strong enough to crack cardamine canisters and space radiation would do the rest.
But instead of any of these options, Congress captains decided to violate Rheinland laws even in two points - first time by taking the drug onboard, and second time by taking it over the border to Liberty what is violation of trade embargo.
It seems that Congress really should invest into law education of the crews, don´t you think, Fräulein Trenton?
Anyway, your story will be verified with LPI. If it will be confirmed by them, polizei will waive from the punishment against Congress as whole under paragraph 2.6.1. of Article Two. But you should not be surprised that individual ships have to be punished for violations of paragraph two of Article Two - contraband possession, and paragraph one of Article Three - trade embargo against Liberty. The fine is four million credits for each ship. Account for the payment is RFP|Arsenal and after you will send the sum, submit confirmation of payment in this channel. I would expect you will pay also for that third independent junker which - if I understand it correctly - Congress members dragged into whole situation. But it is up to you, of course.
You may keep whatever is extra and above that for any inconveniences this incident might have caused and all of the paperwork that had to be filled out.
I hope our relations in the future can be more productive and mutually beneficial.
PRIORITY:High ENCRYPTION:High IDENTIFICATION:Polizeidirektorin Laura Carsten SOURCE:RFP Direktorium Büros, Bonn station TO:Rico Valesquez CC:Mia Trenton SUBJECT:Re: Congress ships smuggling cardamine
Guten Tag, Sehr gehrteer Herr Valesquez. I can confirm payment was received. The money you sent over the total fine of 12 million credits is considered as voluntary donation, what is allowed way to support the Fedederal Polizei and the fight against crime in Rheinland. Danke for it.
Anyway, because representative of LPI validated that cardamine was handed over to Liberty authorities, Congress can consider this case as closed. I hope you learned from it.
And now, Fräulein Trenton was originally contacting polizei with some proposition. So what is it?
