Subject: Pet & Freeport Incident
So, my first outing as a GC, what can I say? It's proven, interesting to say at least.
First of all, it starts with an encounter, a Freelancer Transport by the call sign - "Volturnos" the captain seemed nice, and contributed 500,000 Credits towards the GC, along with, and most importantly something pretty special;
A little thank you present for the girls back at home. I hope they do like it.
Amongst our new adopted pet, something a little... more interesting.
Lieutenant Yamada and I had a quick stop at Freeport 10 while flying the Sigmas. Of course, there was a Zoner-Velvet Capital ship enforcing the "No-Fire-Zone", that's the boring part!
The next part get's really interesting.
Things were going well, I guess, but suddenly! A Rheinland gunboat approached, demanding that the Zoner Carrier leave Rheinland Territory:
BDM|U-101: ?: Yeah well, I'd like to enforce that the carrier must leave.
BDM|U-101: ?: Sigma-15 is classed as the sovereign territory of Rheinland, regardless of the No-fire-zone around the freeport.
Interesting, eh? Well, time goes on and they go on stating their "laws".
BDM|U-101: ?: As the Federal Republic makes it clear in the Laws of Rheinland. Article one, section two--
BDM|U-101: ?: Article four section one states, All battleship, Carrier and Cruiser class vessels that do not belong to the Rheinland Law-
It ended in the Velvet carrier to actually leaving the Freeport, something I found questionable, to say at least, while more Velvet Zoner fighters appeared - But as this petty argument ravelled on, more and more Rheinland ships began to jump into the system, along with, you got it. MORE Zoner ships!
Eventually, their attention turned towards us, their number and a lack of allies within the area - We knew we weren't going to have a successful engagement. So we left the zoners to defend their Freeport, and the Rheinland to enforce their laws...

[13.10.2019 21:32:53] GC-Yamada.Mariko: You zoners are on your own
[13.10.2019 21:32:53] BDM|S-451: "Mhm."
[13.10.2019 21:33:00] GC-Yamada.Mariko: You had your chance
[13.10.2019 21:33:00] Velvet|Methril: Nothing new there
[13.10.2019 21:33:16] Velvet|Golden.Iridium: RO: Why would we need your help again....?
[13.10.2019 21:33:28] GC-Hattori.Ayumi.: No wonder they're loners..
[13.10.2019 21:33:30] [RM]S.George.Mathews: Guten tag zoners
[13.10.2019 21:33:30] GC-Hattori.Ayumi.: So rude..
[13.10.2019 21:33:31] GC-Yamada.Mariko: Cause you are likely to die out there
[13.10.2019 21:33:36] BDM|S-451: "So you admit cooperation between you and the GC."
[13.10.2019 21:33:42] BDM|S-451: "Interesting..."
So, the Rheindlanders believe the Zoners are cooperating with us if that's what they believe this could be a start of something of even more interesting.
All in all, I feel it has been a successful first day amongst the GC, I wonder what could develop in the future.
