Dear high command of the Liberty Navy,
dear Fleetadmiral Hale,
I'm sorry to adress you directly in a matter that once again seems to get out of control. The subject is pilots and captains of secondary fleet vessels belonging to the Liberty Navy. Within the last days a lot of agents have been distracted from their regular duty due to intruders in spaces they don't belong to.
As it has turned out a percentage of 85% of those unknown contacts in restricted LSF space have shown LN papers and IFF transponders.
Yes, I am aware of the fact that you don't have any control over those rookies and probably there never will be a way to do so.
It is my duty though to inform you about a decision that has been made:
From now on every violator of LSF space will be warned to leave immediately and to never come back.
If that vessel is spotted once again in those restricted areas (Alaska grids D/E 5/6 + G3 and LSF system) they will be either grounded and fined or they are going to be shot down without further warning.
Maybe one of your commodores, the one I talked to yesterday, already briefed you on that matter.
I'll add a transcript of that conversation as an attachment to this message.
Sincerely yours,
Sonya Mosby
Secretary of Internal Affairs

[09.04.2012 19:32:57] [LN]-LNS-Cloverfield: Im told you wanted to talk to a Primary Fleet member?

[09.04.2012 19:33:13] [LN]-LNS-Cloverfield: Fire away.
[09.04.2012 19:35:03] =LSF=Sonya.Mosby.: Well captain, lately the LSF have been forced to guide vessels of the Liberty Navy out of our system
[09.04.2012 19:35:27] [LN]-LNS-Cloverfield: Uh huh.
[09.04.2012 19:35:29] =LSF=Sonya.Mosby.: Though I felt it was time to return the favor and spend a visit to Virginia to solve this problem
[09.04.2012 19:35:49] [LN]-LNS-Cloverfield: Okay. Is it supposed to bother me?
[09.04.2012 19:36:10] =LSF=Sonya.Mosby.: It has been - for now - only secondary fleet vessels but I just wanted to speak to someone from the primary...
[09.04.2012 19:36:17] [LN]-LNS-Cloverfield: You know we can't do anything about our secondary fleet pilots.
[09.04.2012 19:36:27] [LN]-LNS-Cloverfield: We have no reason to go to your super-secret system.
[09.04.2012 19:36:53] =LSF=Sonya.Mosby.: As I guess you're having a faster comlink to the dear Admiral Hale I would be pleased if you inform him about something...
[09.04.2012 19:37:18] [LN]-LNS-Cloverfield: I've got to inform him about a lot of things on my mind. What would you like to add to that list?
[09.04.2012 19:37:30] =LSF=Sonya.Mosby.: We're still allied and I wish that it'll stay that way but we do not tolerate any more penetrations of restricted space
[09.04.2012 19:37:43] [LN]-LNS-Cloverfield: Is that a threat, agent?
[09.04.2012 19:38:03] =LSF=Sonya.Mosby.: By now, first time intruders will be guided our of our system, are they spotted the second time we'll remove them
[09.04.2012 19:38:20] [LN]-LNS-Cloverfield: I dont take squat from my own guys, I wont take it from some folks wearing suits.
[09.04.2012 19:38:25] [LN]-LNS-Cloverfield: Do with them what you will.
[09.04.2012 19:38:31] [LN]-LNS-Cloverfield: If they shouldn't be there, they shouldn't be there.
[09.04.2012 19:38:41] [LN]-LNS-Cloverfield: I dont need to tell you to enforce security in your own system.
[09.04.2012 19:38:41] =LSF=Sonya.Mosby.: That's no threat but a friendly reminder by the secretary of Internal Affairs.
[09.04.2012 19:39:10] =LSF=Sonya.Mosby.: Also the dear Admiral Hale will receive this decissions shortly via neural net
[09.04.2012 19:39:30] [LN]-LNS-Cloverfield: Im sure you'll get the same reaction out of him as you did out of his Commodore.
[09.04.2012 19:40:08] =LSF=Sonya.Mosby.: Might be, yes... But you know the business, sometimes there's a line to be drawn...
[09.04.2012 19:42:26] =LSF=Sonya.Mosby.: Well, thank you for your time, Commodore. I'll leave your turf now.
[09.04.2012 19:42:45] [LN]-LNS-Cloverfield: A pleasure.

Good evening Directors
Miss Mosby, you will find the LSF will be on rather unsure footing if they decided to restrict Navy movement in the Alaska system. The Navy can and will patrol every inch of the system.
You are welcome to prevent Navy ships docking on Kodiak, but patrolling the space around it is something we will continue to do.
You can prevent Navy ships from jumping to the Ellesmere system, but we will patrol the space around the jumphole.
Self importance is a funny thing, Miss Mosby, and one that doesn't do anyone any favors. Lets imagine that in a fit of self important idiocy, I decided to prevent any LSF vessels from docking on or travelling within 10k of Juneau shipyard. That would effectively prevent any LSF ships from entering or leaving the Alaska system. I think you would find some objection to that. It would also be extremely counter productive and unintelligent, but remarkably close to your demands.
Quote:[font=agency fb]Alaska grids D/E 5/6 + G3
The Navy will continue it's patrols of those areas. I strongly suggest you do not attempt to prevent that from happening.
Navy ships docking on Kodiak should know better. Navy ships jumping to Ellesmere should not do so. But we will continue to patrol the entirity of Alaska.

Greetings Admiral Hale,
I do believe that we have serious matter to discuss and there is a good reason for such decision.
Your Captain Baker seem not to understand nor to follow simple rules about restricted space and decided to act on her own which resulted in global mess, how would you like me patrolling Virginia system without asking for your permission dear Admiral? After we asked them what are they doing in our system, they answered me with "Classified", care to explain that? Is there something that we both aren't able to control?
After talking with them they decided to head back to Alaska system where I was able to find them and actually talk with Captain Baker, she answered me that they are running patrol on finding illegal bases, which is strange. We never had any doubts about Virginia space nor we ever patrolled it, counting that you have everything under control in your system?
The last thing I remember is that you are always welcome to visit any station or any project running in Ellesmere system and I would gladly offer you LSF escort, but of course you would always contact me first. At least we have communication on that level, or I just think that? Your captain said that their patrol isn't supported by Navy HC so I do believe you'll have talking to do with your own men.
We are not that blind to let some of your people down because of the simple rule "Not able to dock on Kodiak station", if your man or whole patrol wing is in need of support we will gladly offer them. However I see that many of them are seeking only problems, so I would like to see them (Joshua Ashfield|36th and captain of LNS Cincinnati vessel) suspended and of course in prison, waiting for the public trial. I will send every agent and ship that is available to find them and arrest them because violating to Liberty Secure Code and Liberty Law (Assault on LSF agents), for the [LN] pilots I would like to give only warning. I'm counting that you'll deal with them.

After all they did it, see for yourself Admiral.

Joshua.Ashfield|36th: Yeah, let's start with this big fish here
-LSF-Prometheus: Patton: Attention Whisper.Of.Liberty do you copy?
LNS-Whisper.of.Liberty: I am going
Joshua.Ashfield|36th: This stinks, a lot.
Joshua.Ashfield|36th: I'll poke the high command about this carrier.
-LSF-Prometheus: Patton: You too Ashfield
Joshua.Ashfield|36th: What's in here?
-LSF-Prometheus: Patton: Ashfield this is from high command, you are to leave this system
Joshua.Ashfield|36th: Which high command?
--LSF-Prometheus: Patton: You will be fired upon if you do not comply
Joshua.Ashfield|36th: Oh, will you?
-LSF-Prometheus: Patton: Yes
=LSF=Silver-6: Get lost navy boy
Joshua.Ashfield|36th: Why?

(over ten minutes later)
[LN]-LNS-Anchorage: If I don't get a reason why my pilots are being shooted at, god so help me when I come get you.
[LN]-LNS-Anchorage: Well, let's see how your superiors react. Shooting my pilots and refusing to then give me a response.
-LSF-Prometheus: Ashfield is in restricted airspace, he has already been told to leave and refused to comply
[LN]-LNS-Anchorage: Restricted airspace? Is he flying about a planet? No. So he isn't in the air to start with. Second, You do not fire on allied forces. We're in a war, do you lack the common sense required to observe that he isn't an enemy?
-LSF-Prometheus: Pardon me, he is in restricted space.
[LN]-LNS-Anchorage: So you escort him out. You do not kill him.
-LSF-Prometheus: These are orders from high command
[LN]-LNS-Anchorage: I am High Command
-LSF-Prometheus: I have already asked him multiple times to leave
[LN]-LNS-Anchorage: Part of it, anyways. And I say stop firing.
-LSF-Prometheus: I have, Tell your pilot to leave
[LN]-LNS-Anchorage: I believe he is. You fire on any friendly forces again son, and you will be put to rot in some prison cell.
-LSF-Prometheus: The pilot is still in the system.
[LN]-LNS-Anchorage: And?
-LSF-Prometheus: And is making no attempt to leave
[LN]-LNS-Anchorage: You fired on him, you face me son.
[LN]-LNS-Anchorage: Is that honestly something you want to tempt?
[LN]-LNS-Anchorage: You'll be done for treason, for a start.
-LSF-Prometheus: I do not want to start a fight, just tell your pilot to leave and there will be no issue
[LN]-LNS-Anchorage: He is on his way. You obviously do, from the reports I've been hearing. And also, you're right.
[LN]-LNS-Anchorage: There will be no issue.
[LN]-LNS-Anchorage: Because you will return to whatever base you're stationed at.
-LSF-Prometheus: The LSF has stated that Elsmere is off limits to navy secondary fleet and all other vessels
[LN]-LNS-Anchorage: This pilot is an honorary member of the primary fleet, then.
[LN]-LNS-Anchorage: You fire on him, you face me. Don't let me hear about anything happening to him, or else.
[LN]-LNS-Anchorage: Admiral Hale signing off.
(after a while a Liberty dreadnought appears out of nowhere)
LNS-Pepito: We do not tolerate persons who shoot at the navy.
Joshua.Ashfield|36th: About time
Joshua.Ashfield|36th: Nuke it.
LNS-Pepito: Beet it LSF or pirates.
( I have no idea what that statement was)
LNS-Pepito: Nuke it.
While you were ordering LSF captain not to shoot Navy secondary vessel he was busy defending agent who official belongs to my agency, who was also under attack by same honored captain and your pilots were engaged because they tried to act crazy and make fools of us in our space. Joshua Ashfield was warned at least three times and I wouldn't see any other option myself.

of course I would have a lot of objections concerning this matter. As for the space around Kodiak, maybe we should work this out a little bit. Putting a restricted zone that large really would mean a conflict with the patrol duties your vessels got.
As it is my duty to ensure the integrity and security of the Liberty Security Force I hereby withdraw docking rights for Liberty Navy vessels at Kodiak and our stations in Ellesmere. If - for urgent matters - you or any command staff member of the [LN] needs to dock we ensure that your docking rights will be temporarily restored.
This is not to start a fight on who's got the power but only to minimize the chances of information leaks.
I really hope you see it the way it is meant.
Sincerely yours,
Sonya Mosby
