During my patrol through the Stuttgart system, I met a vessel from the Landwirtrechtbewegung with the callsign {LWB}Grau-1. At first I tried to convince the pilot of mending it's ways. Giving the men of the movement a chance to start anew in places like Holstein. While in the beginning the offer seemed reasonable for him, another Alliance vessel joined in the conversation with callsign {LWB}Baron.Wittenberg. This one being more extreme in his ideology than his kamerad. What seemed to be the start of an intriguing conversation about Synth Foods, ended up quickly in pointing fingers.
Their true colors showed up in no time when a freelancer trader vessel with the callsign "HotDog" passed by. Following their primal instinct, the Alliance's immediate objective was to pirate said vessel beside my warnings. Leaving me with no other option, I fired upon them. Holding them back long enough for the Freelancer to escape. Seeing that fighting a gunboat with fighters wasn't the best idea, they backed off into the clouds.
[17.09.2023 19:28:49] [RM]KKS-Raeren: B: Guten Tag
[17.09.2023 19:29:07] {LWB}Grau-1: ??: Guten Tag, Military vessel Raeren
[17.09.2023 19:29:30] [RM]KKS-Raeren: K: What brings an Alliance vessel to Stutgart, Grau-1?
[17.09.2023 19:29:38] {LWB}Grau-1: ??: We never forgot
[17.09.2023 19:31:13] [RM]KKS-Raeren: K: It's a shameful situation indeed
[17.09.2023 19:31:28] {LWB}Grau-1: ??: I assume you still enjoy your victory over the poor men
[17.09.2023 19:31:43] [RM]KKS-Raeren: K: If you think i took pride in that, i don't.
[17.09.2023 19:32:02] {LWB}Grau-1: ??: The WVS tried to warn you, but you replaced them
[17.09.2023 19:32:40] [RM]KKS-Raeren: K: Unfortunately a forced diplomatic move after the 80 years war.
[17.09.2023 19:32:56] [RM]KKS-Raeren: K: We've been at Synth food's heels for a while now.
[17.09.2023 19:33:22] {LWB}Grau-1: ??: Consider this a warning, we will find every Synth Foods vessel in Rheinland and their protectors
[17.09.2023 19:33:41] {LWB}Grau-1: ??: We will rebuild Stuttgart to its former glory and liberate the farmers
[17.09.2023 19:33:58] Death: C]-Thierry.Blier was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[17.09.2023 19:33:59] [RM]KKS-Raeren: K: Oh i'm very aware of your intentions.
[17.09.2023 19:34:46] [RM]KKS-Raeren: K: But i will do my duty and not allow folks to die in vain.
[17.09.2023 19:35:20] {LWB}Grau-1: ??: The way I see it law enforcement betrayed Rheinland and its people as soon as Synth Foods acquired assets in this system
[17.09.2023 19:36:50] [RM]KKS-Raeren: K: We didn't betray anyone, Grau. But i suppose it's futile to argue about that now.
[17.09.2023 19:37:00] {LWB}Grau-1: ??: What about the people who lost their jobs
[17.09.2023 19:37:35] [RM]KKS-Raeren: K: The economy was in tatters by some poor decision making in the past.
[17.09.2023 19:37:52] [RM]KKS-Raeren: K: But trying to terrorise your way out of it will not work.
[17.09.2023 19:38:02] {LWB}Grau-1: ??: Do not play it down, it was not an honest mistake, it was a malicious attack on us
[17.09.2023 19:38:24] [RM]KKS-Raeren: K: Why would you think Rheinland would ruin it's own farmers?
[17.09.2023 19:38:39] [RM]KKS-Raeren: K: This was a forced decision with no winners.
[17.09.2023 19:38:40] {LWB}Grau-1: ??: An easy credit, of course
[17.09.2023 19:38:47] {LWB}Grau-1: ??: That is what you needed
[17.09.2023 19:39:24] [RM]KKS-Raeren: K: I can't cure the past, no matter how much i would like to
[17.09.2023 19:39:27] [RM]KKS-Raeren: K: However
[17.09.2023 19:39:39] {LWB}Grau-1: ??: You are right
[17.09.2023 19:40:00] {LWB}Grau-1: ??: The only thing that matters is the future and, mein Freund, it is looking very bright
[17.09.2023 19:40:08] [RM]KKS-Raeren: K: If your farmers are looking for new jobs. There are plenty of vacancies on planet Holstein.
[17.09.2023 19:40:29] [RM]KKS-Raeren: K: Soon to be a fully terraformed paradise for farmers.
[17.09.2023 19:40:39] {LWB}Grau-1: ??: I will not do a Liberty's corporation's bidding, never again
[17.09.2023 19:41:26] [RM]KKS-Raeren: K: Holstein is not lead by a Liberty Corporation, Grau. Yes Planetform is terraforming it, but that's the extend of their use-
[17.09.2023 19:41:30] [RM]KKS-Raeren: -there
[17.09.2023 19:42:20] {LWB}Grau-1: ??: Rheinland needs some protectionism
[17.09.2023 19:42:28] {LWB}Grau-1: ??: You are dependant on Liberty
[17.09.2023 19:43:44] [RM]KKS-Raeren: K: I'd say were. Their trade agreement with Gallia is filling the coffers well i must admit
[17.09.2023 19:43:53] [RM]KKS-Raeren: K: Guten Tag Baron Wittenberg.
[17.09.2023 19:44:03] {LWB}Grau-1: ??: So, outsourcing, again?
[17.09.2023 19:44:06] {LWB}Baron.Wittenberg: Gruezi
[17.09.2023 19:44:28] [RM]KKS-Raeren: K: Rheinland had no say in it, but i must admit it was quite the pleasant surprise.
[17.09.2023 19:44:51] {LWB}Grau-1: ??: An easy credit is all you need
[17.09.2023 19:45:49] [RM]KKS-Raeren: K: Please elaborate what you mean by that.
[17.09.2023 19:46:06] {LWB}Grau-1: ??: You are destroying Rheinlandic jobs in favour of foreigners
[17.09.2023 19:46:18] {LWB}Grau-1: ??: And you never stopped doing that, did you?
[17.09.2023 19:46:52] [RM]KKS-Raeren: K: On the contrary, their trade agreement opened up plenty of opportunity for Rheinlanders.
[17.09.2023 19:47:12] {LWB}Baron.Wittenberg: B: Like Synth Foods?
[17.09.2023 19:47:57] [RM]KKS-Raeren: *smirks* K: I had that topic with your kameraad a few minutes ago herr Wittenberg.
[17.09.2023 19:48:28] {LWB}Baron.Wittenberg: It is Baron for you
[17.09.2023 19:48:43] {LWB}Baron.Wittenberg: I didnt suffer this much, just to be insulted
[17.09.2023 19:48:53] [RM]KKS-Raeren: K: Very well.
[17.09.2023 19:49:38] {LWB}Baron.Wittenberg: You know I initially supported Rhineland, believing your empty promises
[17.09.2023 19:49:59] {LWB}Baron.Wittenberg: Sold my Land to them, Now I see my mistake
[17.09.2023 19:50:06] {LWB}Baron.Wittenberg: Never Again
[17.09.2023 19:51:05] [RM]KKS-Raeren: K: As i mentioned earlier, I can't undo the mistakes that have been made in the past. I can only suggest what i told your-
[17.09.2023 19:51:08] [RM]KKS-Raeren: -kamerad before
[17.09.2023 19:51:26] {LWB}Grau-1: ??: I think we got a positive here
[17.09.2023 19:52:09] [RM]KKS-Raeren: K: Guten Tag Wheele Rogers. Better keep moving bitte
[17.09.2023 19:52:21] Wheedle_Rogers: Sure thing Mate!

[17.09.2023 19:55:01] [RM]KKS-Raeren: K: Very gut observation.
[17.09.2023 19:56:19] {LWB}Grau-1: ??: Cut your engines

[17.09.2023 19:56:59] {LWB}Baron.Wittenberg: Wouldnt you like to do a charitable donation of 3 million to your local farmers?
[17.09.2023 19:57:00] HotDog: What do you want pirates?
[17.09.2023 19:57:04] [RM]KKS-Raeren: K: Let the freelancer go.
[17.09.2023 19:57:15] [RM]KKS-Raeren: K: That's a direct order.
[17.09.2023 19:57:18] {LWB}Baron.Wittenberg: Nono we are not pirates, we are struggling citizens
[17.09.2023 19:57:27] HotDog: I've already paid to traverse this lane
[17.09.2023 19:57:27] {LWB}Grau-1: ??: We are the future

[17.09.2023 19:57:41] [RM]KKS-Raeren: Freelancer, go. I'll hold them off.
[17.09.2023 19:57:51] HotDog: My insurance isn't happy already...
[17.09.2023 19:58:14] {LWB}Grau-1: ??: Did he pay yet?
[17.09.2023 19:58:23] {LWB}Baron.Wittenberg: I have recieved naught
[17.09.2023 19:58:32] {LWB}Grau-1: ??: Sucks to be you I guess
[17.09.2023 19:58:32] HotDog: Last guy that held me up said I wouldn't be bothered here again
[17.09.2023 19:58:39] [RM]KKS-Raeren: K: And he shouldn't, let him go.
[17.09.2023 19:58:40] HotDog: figures he was full of it.
