From: Olivia Sable Subject: Kusarian Military in New York
Chief Holiday,
I would like to report an encounter I had at West Point the other day. Due to its rather "clandestine" nature, I thought it best to contact your office directly instead of going through the public reporting system.
On July 1, I was standing by at West Point Academy, minding my own business, when a ship with the call sign Adachi.Tamotsu entered the junction. I immediately noticed the transponder, identifying it as a vessel belonging to the Kusari Naval Forces. My curiosity piqued, I scanned the ship. Turns out it was a Wyvern-class Kusari fighter. The pilot greeted me and, upon being asked about his transponder, claimed that it was malfunctioning. The ensuing conversation clearly revealed that to be a lie.
Seems like Liberty isn't safe from foreign militaries and intelligence agencies spying around its space. What you do with the information on this particular individual is, of course, entirely up to you. As for the job offer the pilot wanted to make me, he never did end up contacting me for further details. So I'm in no way attached to him.
Attached are the comm logs and guncam footage (which I of course chose not to destroy).
[01.07.2020 17:17:06] Adachi.Tamotsu: Hmm ... Improved their training base ...
[01.07.2020 17:17:11] Adachi.Tamotsu: Oh. Konnichiwa.
[01.07.2020 17:17:21] Olivia.Sable: Heya...
[01.07.2020 17:17:32] Olivia.Sable: What brings Kusarian military here?
[01.07.2020 17:17:55] Adachi.Tamotsu: I'm no military. My work is classified though, so you won't know much more about me.
[01.07.2020 17:18:08] Olivia.Sable: Not military?
[01.07.2020 17:18:14] Adachi.Tamotsu: How's the work in Liberty, Freelancer?
[01.07.2020 17:18:14] Olivia.Sable: That's a strange transponder to have then.
[01.07.2020 17:18:33] Olivia.Sable: It's keeping me busy.
[01.07.2020 17:18:39] Adachi.Tamotsu: Yeah, it broke while passing by Galileo.
[01.07.2020 17:18:50] Adachi.Tamotsu: What jobs are you taking the most?
[01.07.2020 17:19:06] Adachi.Tamotsu: Are you the kind of person going straight to danger?
[01.07.2020 17:19:08] Olivia.Sable: So now it just happens to show you as a member of the Naval Forces? Whilst flying a ship commonly used by the Naval Forces?
[01.07.2020 17:19:23] Adachi.Tamotsu: Again, it's classified.
[01.07.2020 17:19:32] Olivia.Sable: Uhuh. Sure.
[01.07.2020 17:20:01] Olivia.Sable: Something tells me Libertonian authorities wouldn't be too happy about your presence, if they knew.
[01.07.2020 17:20:08] Adachi.Tamotsu: If.
[01.07.2020 17:20:21] Adachi.Tamotsu: Nothing obligates you to tell them.
[01.07.2020 17:20:28] Olivia.Sable: Now... what to do with all these guncam images...
[01.07.2020 17:20:51] Adachi.Tamotsu: Indeed. I suggest a 'malfunction' destroyed them.
[01.07.2020 17:21:02] Adachi.Tamotsu: Of course, I can help out about it ...
[01.07.2020 17:21:06] Olivia.Sable: That malfunction will have to be repaird though.
[01.07.2020 17:21:11] Olivia.Sable: And that'll cost money...
[01.07.2020 17:21:32] Adachi.Tamotsu: Of course, but that malfunction would probably delete those footages ...
[01.07.2020 17:21:43] Olivia.Sable: Oh, it certainly would.
[01.07.2020 17:21:49] Adachi.Tamotsu: Then again, I can help to 'repair it' with some money ..
[01.07.2020 17:21:53] Adachi.Tamotsu: I'm always glad to help out.
[01.07.2020 17:21:57] Olivia.Sable: So kind.
[01.07.2020 17:22:09] Adachi.Tamotsu: So. How much do you need?
[01.07.2020 17:22:24] Olivia.Sable: Oh, I imagine ten million credits will cover the costs.
[01.07.2020 17:22:39] Adachi.Tamotsu: Cheap. I've seen worse. Wait up.
[01.07.2020 17:22:59] Olivia.Sable: I wouldn't want to strain your generosity. *chuckles*
[01.07.2020 17:22:59] [2020-07-01] 15:22:59 You have received 10.000.000 credits from Adachi.Tamotsu
[01.07.2020 17:23:14] Olivia.Sable: I guess the stories about Kusarian compassion are true.
[01.07.2020 17:23:21] Adachi.Tamotsu: It is.
[01.07.2020 17:23:28] Adachi.Tamotsu: I might have a job for you.
[01.07.2020 17:23:33] Olivia.Sable: Oh, is that so?
[01.07.2020 17:23:37] Adachi.Tamotsu: If you feel like it, of course.
[01.07.2020 17:23:45] Olivia.Sable: Hit me with the details and we'll see.
[01.07.2020 17:24:01] Adachi.Tamotsu: I'll get in touch via private comms.
[01.07.2020 17:24:06] Olivia.Sable: Sure.
[01.07.2020 17:24:17] Adachi.Tamotsu: Anyway. Safe flight, Freelancer.
[01.07.2020 17:24:21] Olivia.Sable: Take care.
[01.07.2020 17:24:26] Olivia.Sable: Try to fix that transponder.
[01.07.2020 17:24:27] Olivia.Sable: *laughs*
[01.07.2020 17:24:31] Adachi.Tamotsu: Will do.

Firstly I would like to thank you on behalf of Liberty Forces for your contribution into house space security! But credits could be a better and more weighty reward for a freelancer, am I right? No worry, your information has been evaluated and after submitting 'score marks' to the appropriate department, we have an amount to transfer for you. You can find a transaction verification attached to the message.
In the meantime, we remind you that law 5. Obstructing justice forbids 'attempts to protect or hide criminals or evidence from Liberty Forces', which means we would await further details of the deal you were or would be offered by the kusarian spy in a private message. If we would not receive it, сriminal proceedings could be initiated in regards to you.
Faithfully serving Liberty, Captain Andrew Wilson from Liberty Police inc.*

From: Olivia Sable Subject: Kusarian Military in New York
Captain Wilson,
thank you kindly for the generous reward. I am always happy to support Libertonian law enforcement. As for the matter of the Kusarian's proposed deal: Should he still contact me with a job offer, I will of course keep the LPI in the loop.
From: Olivia Sable Subject: Rheinland Military in New York
To whomever receives this,
It seems the Rheinlanders are also snooping around Liberty these days. Amidst the chaos instigated by yet another alien incursion into New York, I ran into a Rheinland Military super heavy fighter (Kadratis) passing through the West Point junction. I tried to get the pilot's attention and figure out what he was doing in Liberty, but he failed to respond. I lost track of him at Fort Bush, last seeing him head towards the Colorado gate.
Curiously, a quick scan of the ship revealed that it wasn't only carrying the expected Rheinland identification papers, but also those of the LPI. Perhaps as a cover for espionage?
Either way, I thought it best to relay this to the appropriate authorities.
[01.11.2020 20:39:59] Olivia.Sable: Hey, Kadratis, wait!
[01.11.2020 20:40:33] Olivia.Sable: Just hold on a second.
[01.11.2020 20:40:50] Olivia.Sable: Ugh, fine.
[01.11.2020 20:40:52] Olivia.Sable: Have it your way.
