Good day, ladies and gentlemen, assorted pirates, slavers, Outcast, drug sniffers, "liberators of lawful goods," self-styled "Robin Hoods," and all manner of ne'er do wells.
You might all have found Dublin a "fruitful" place to be pirating or extorting in recent days, what with the current mining boom. This is all well and good... well, it's actually not. Your chaotic rampage cuts a swath across Dublin, cutting down IMG, BMM, and independent miners alike. Please note that we Mollies are not just pirates as you might be, and as hard or easy as it might be for you to comprehend, we have a distinct goal. We aren't just in this for the money, we're fighting for freedom - of us and miners. Freedom from BMM. We have ideals. You don't.
Now, we wouldn't have a problem with all this if you were just hitting BMM, but it stands that you are not only pillaging every miner that has the misfortune to be in the system, but many of you are actively opposing the Molly Republic with hostile actions and malignant intent.
This essentially ends now.
From this point onward, all Independent Pirates and Outcasts are DENIED docking clearance on any Molly bases and will be forcibly escorted out of Dublin either in a single piece if they comply, or in the bin of an ALG trash ship if we need to repeat ourselves. We will not hesitate to use lethal force if we find you either in the process of, or in a position indicating intent to, commit actions contrary to our cause. Essentially, if you want to stay in Dublin and use our bases, you play by our rules.
You may open negotiations to parley for an exception for yourselves.
All except you Banjo bastards, we don't like you at all.
~ Colin H. Breen, Councillor, Molly Republic,
Arranmore Base, Dublin
<span style="font-size:8pt;line-height:100%]Note that if you have been explicitly granted docking permission in the past, as at least one group of jolly gentlemen has, you don't need to worry about this. This does not apply to Rogues, Hackers, or Hessians.

Dear Mollys,
It is sad to hear that problems as such have occurred with other pirates. I am an independent pirate myself and I am simply arguing on my behalf as I have worked hard to please the mollies enough for the use of their bases as I pass through the systems. Now I don't pirate any miners at all at the moment. I more along the lines of hit bounty hunters. I am only asking permission to use your base when and if I should pass through the system. If you require that I take down a few BMM transports on my way through then I will gladly agree to this, but for now that is all.

Ah aint been down dublin ways in a fair long time, but ah figerd ah'd ask anyways, jes incase the mood strike me.
Before ah decided to move out of Liberty and expand mah opprotunities ah was a Rogue for many a year, and ah made many ah trip down yer ways in the past runnin supplies, and aquirin more enroute....
Simply put, ah like yer beer.
Ah like yer booze too.
About the only thing that compares to yer booze is dat solvent they be brewin on some science ship at Freeport One.
Almost as important as the booze........... the bizness.
Ah be a reasonable buisnessman.
If there be local sorts that can provide, for a price, logistical support as needed, ah'd be a fool to not play by their rules.
You'uns say no hitting IMG ?
Ah gots no problem wit dat. Yer turf, yer rules.
You'uns say you aint like how fools be just bushwackin left an rite ?
Ah couldnt agree moar.
Why the bloody hell kill a meal ticket when ya can be reasonable wit em.
Den he know to cooperate the next time, and the next, and the time after dat too.
A meal ticket spaced is a meal ticket dat's thrown away.
As fer dem BMM sorts, needless to say if ah be allowed in ah'll be a bit harsher on dem sorts since y'all aint like them. Dat said, ah'll still be reasonable.
Why space some fool workin for a corp if he try to reason.
All dat do is be increase the odds of a bigger fool next time...... bad for bizness........
Dat said.... if they refuse to reason, ah make no guarantees 'o their future well being, ah'm sure ye folks will agree that the unreasonable buisnessmen be a danger to all 'o us.... and annoying te boot.
I respect the Molly efforts for freedom. As such, my ship and its crew shall comply with your instructions. While we rarely traverse Dublin, when there, we shall mind our P's and Q's.
We do enjoy our visits to Arranmore and would like to continue said enjoyment, that is if you give us your ok to do so.
If you need our services protecting your assets, I believe you know where to find us, Mr. Breen. If you do not, ask around, I'm sure they would be more than willing to give you our, "headquarters".
