Official Request of the DSMC*

Mr, Vlad

I would like to know if you sort the ship "DSMC*_Medic_Shuttle" (mobile hospital) into the group of traders.
If not, I am willing to serve you with pharmaceutics as everyone else.
If you don't see any differences, I have to deliver in Rheinland with a special (armed) unit.

It's not my kind of thinking to make differences in my customers, so I don't judge what you are doing.
Just give me a message and we will hande your appearence the way we have to.

Dr.
Maeve McCormick

From: Manfred Von Lorryhofen - Rheinland Military

Greetings.

You should not worry. When in Rheinland, if u will ask for support, Rheinland Military [RM] will help u to defend angains loudly unioners, pirates, smugglers and all the other Rheinland's enemies.

My rank does not allow me to talk for the RM but its pretty obvious that, while in Rheinland, who does not comply to Rheinland Athority rules will be required to pay the price of disobedience.

Thus when traveling through Rheinland respect RM rules and feel free to ask for our support against this kind of ignominious criminals.

This is Vlad. The Unioners have charged me with destruction of any and all shipping within the Sirius sector, to continue until the Republican Shipping board of Directors bows to our demands, as follows:

1) All Unioner personal will be repatriated as members of Rhineland, and granted full citizens status.
2) All Deaths caused by any member of the Rhineland Military, Rhineland Police, Bounty Hunters Guild and Republican Shipping will be compensated by a payment of 5 Million credits per death, payable to the Unioners Treasury Board.
3) The Unioners will be granted Partners status within Republican shipping, including a 60% voting share.

These attacks will continue until ALL of these demands are met. Any Unioners that wish to join me need only post here. I will then inspect your references, and decide whether you are worthy to join us in our fight for the people.

I will not rest until the workers of Sirius are free and able to live like men, and those corporate dogs are crushed beneath our heels.

For the Workers! Vlad.

The face disappears, replaced by a running movie of several freighters under attack, then the wreckage of said ships. It zooms in on a piece of wreckage bearing the Republican shipping seal. Gunfire strikes out, and the wreckage is gone
