My name is Raphael Sun, captain of The.Patience, Firefly vessel.
Today I've been attacked in Bretonia space, Leeds system by a freelancer.
A freelancer who claimed that is a bounty on my ship.
A bounty made of commander of RFP-Obersulm, as the 'lancer said.
I'll attach you the conversation between me and the mercenary. Conversation Mercenary ship scan
Accusing me of helping pirates made me and my crew to feel unsafe in Rheinland.
And my reputation suffers because of that.
If you keep accusing me of such grave doings, I'd like to see some proofs.
Otherwise, I'll ask moral damages: 2,2 millions sirian credits.
Credits which will be use to repair my vessel.

DELIVERING MESSAGE...
Gut day Herr Sun. I am Detektiv Wolthers from the main department of the Rheinland Federal Polizei.
First I am very sorry to hear about this coward attack against you, but I am glad to see that you made it out alive. I have seen other mercenaries that are more skilled for this.
Which brings me to your reason for contacting us.
What I can infer from your records so far is, that ein freelancer hunted your vessel due to ein standing bounty and mentioned ein Polizei vessel.
Nun, I have checked all available data so far and to make it quick, the Polizei has nothing to do with this attack.
Let me tell you the reasons for this:
The current bounty board of Rheinland has no entry about your vessel
There is no freelancer und the name of Adam Jensen registered
You have no real proof that the bounty was set up by this RFP Obersulm apart from this freelancer who could have lied to you.
Moreover, what was your last business within Rheinland? Perhaps your action within our Vaterland got you into trouble by violating our law which lead to ein bounty by the independent Polizei forces. Though this is rather unusual.
So, while the Polizei regrets the trouble you got into, I cannot see ein point of us being responsible for it. Thus your claims of taking care of your repair costs are void.
As you were attacked in Bretonia, I suggest you contact our equivalents there and see if they may bring light into this matter.
My last job was to bring Niobium Ore to planet New Berlin.
I believe the only people we should stay away of, are the pirates.
If the named mercenary isn't signed on your bounty board, then you should do something about this.
Because if traders will be attacked by random mercenaries which may claim that Rheinland government sent them after us,
that will constitute a real problem.
Maybe the independent traders will stay away from your space.
That means less supplies for your people.
I'm not in position to give orders, but I suggest you to focus on such people.

Herr Sun,
right now mein hands are more or less tied together. This is due to the attack being performed within Bretonian space and the Rheinland Polizei has no influence on this.
So, unless said freelancer enters Rheinland and we catch him for some investigation on this matter, we cannot do much.
However, I will see if the Bretonian Police Authority might find something out about this incident.
We do understand perfectly your attitude.
If you need me and my crew for further interrogations, we will help with pleasure.
All we ask is to be travel safe your space.
I pay taxes for flying license, I have a crew to feed.
And most important: a ship to maintain.
I hope you and your people will resolve this problem soon.
I didn't meant to give you a headache.
But, unfortunately, I had to.
I'm sorry for this.

Herr Sun, Detektiv Wolthers hier.
Our investigations on your issue has revealed quite some interesting information, that I want to tell you.
It looks like, you were the victim of ein misunderstanding between the secondary Polizei vessel and this freelancer named Adam Jensen.
Ja, the freelancer was hired to kill ein vessel, but it was not yours. Originally the target was ein pirate vessel that was operating in Stuttgart and Omega-7 and fled to Bretonian space to avoid Rheinland`s Justiz.
The reason for the attack on you might only be fully revealed if this Adam Jensen tells us his side of the story at all.
But as of now, we can assure you that the Rheinland Polizei is not responsible for the attack on your transport ship.
