This is Captain Richards of the Orbital Spa and Cruise liner the Perth-Rescue
I request your input into a matter that distresses me most dearly.
As we were transporting civilian passengers from Freeport 1 to New Tokyo, we were attacked by a Bundschuh IFF Gunship bearing Hessian ID named Moons.Ago . They perused us into Sigma 13 and made their demands, already firing on us as we signaled them to halt their actions.
They demanded we release our cargo into space.
They requested we eject civilian passengers into space! This was no rookie pilot. He managed to evade our point blank defensive turrets with ease and was rather relentless in his desire to carry out his demands. We only managed to escape by retreating back to Frankfurt and taking harbor at the border station.
Can you please explain to my why your people have targeted an Orbital Spa and Cruise liner, ferrying human passengers to their destination, only to be nearly destroyed by one of your ships?

This is Captain Richards of the Orbital Spa and Cruise liner the Perth-Rescue retransmitting again.
Gentlemen, I don't think this is a difficult question to answer.
As of right now, we're held up at New Tokyo because we cannot operate our liner if you continue to consider Orbital Spa and Cruise, with its medical bays, hot tubs, and dance halls a threat to your endeavors.
I need to know if you plan to continue to attack our cruise liners transporting refugees, civilians and dignitaries from ever corner of Sirius.
If so, we can then re-route our liners around Rheinland space and avoid such acts of murder and piracy.
Again, I need an answer.
Thank you for reviewing this transmission

Guten tag.
I have reviewed the flight logs, and the incident you mentioned does not appear in them. In fact, we do not have a ship with the designation "Moons.Ago" registered in the database at all. It appears you have fallen victim to a ruse, perhaps perpetrated by the Rheinland Nationalpartei in order to discredit us, or perhaps by Corsairs who look for a quick buck by attempting to slip under the radar by mimicking our ships and IFF signals. The IFF mismatch clearly points to such an attempt.
At any rate, it wasn't us. If I were you, I would hire escorts next time.

Back in times when Volksfront guided Bundschuh into revolution, such thing would be unnaceptable. But it's gone now, terrorists disguised under our agenda apparently emerged. If he trully hurt a refuge transport, do not hesitate to use lethal means to defend yourself and passengers. In addition listen to Maj. Hoerst, nowhere is safe these days.

I apologize if I came across too harshly gentlemen. Times have been difficult with us losing our main port of operations and now to have to contend with pirates who use the guise of other factions to cover their true face is rather low, if not conspired.
Major we had hoped to avoid encounters and pair up with our group after leaving New Tokyo, but we lost contact with them after landing planet side. I did not mean to place such blame on a group of people I know little about. I only know that you are revolutionaries to some extent. But I thank you for your response.
Mr. Wolf I can see how such matters can happen when groups destabilize. If they had merely asked for money it would not have cut me to the core as much as it did. The primary mission of the Perth-Rescue is to evacuate people from one bad situation into something hopefully better.
We'll keep all this in mind gentlemen. Thank you for your attention to this matter and clearing up this incident.
Wills, out.
