Evening, esteemed Gas Miners. Evening, ominous Lord Mitsuo.
I am sending this communication for transparency sake.
Roughly half an hour ago at the time of this message, I stumbled across a Rheinland Gunboat flashing their Police Force identification - callsign: KPR|KGP-Zweihander - entering the Honshu system from the Sigma-13 system.
The vessel in question refused to sit idly at our request as they were in obvious breach of IV-1 Imperial Stellar Codex of Kusari, regulating the entry of foreign law enforcement units. We acted in full accordance of IV-2C, however to no success. The Rheinlander made haste for the Sigma-59 system with, as they disclosed the Nobeoka Platform of the Bounty Hunters as destination.
They must be terrible navigators as we managed to arrive at the Bounty Hunter base before they did. We managed to catch the attention of a nearby Gas Miner Unit, the Tokunoshima-Maru, whose Captain professionally and with great patience aided us in the escorting of the vessel out of the Sigma Sector as they were in clear breach of §3.2 of the Gas Miners territorial laws too. Since the vessel was not to linger around within Kusari space either, we wanted to escort them out through other passages but they managed to get away through the Sigma-19 Gate due to unfortunate interference by a Farmer Alliance patrol.
Guncam recordings.
[17.04.824 19:43:20] KPR|KGP-Zweihander: Picking up some weapons from our bounty hunter frineds
[17.04.824 19:43:31] AV-Dragonfly: Krenton: In Honshu? Doubtful, truly.
[17.04.824 19:43:35] KPR|KGP-Zweihander: Sigma 55 is the closest
[17.04.824 19:43:42] KPR|KGP-Zweihander: Navmap took me through here
[17.04.824 19:44:03] AV-Dragonfly: Krenton: You'll sit put until a Naval Forces or State Police vessel shows up.
House Rheinland, whichever political system it is currently using to brand itself, has never truly been able to accept the Sigma Systems as the rightful sovereign space of the Gas Miners Guild, and regularly violate our laws to probe our space.
The Guild shall conduct its investigations from here, and action however appropriate.
