****INCOMING TRANSMISSION****

COMM ID: Captain Alan Polstari
TARGET ID: Primary Fleet Command HQ; Colonial Republic Military HQ
SUBJECT: Rogue "Thanatos" Cruiser
ENCRYPTION: High
PRIORITY: High

Greetings, sirs.

I regret to inform you of a rogue "Thanatos" cruiser with Colonial Republic papers by the name of [color=#FF9900]=::UPPC::=_Priest that has been operating within the borders of Liberty. The captain of this vessel has been warned repeatedly regarding Section 3 Subheading V of the Laws of Liberty with respect foreign capital vessels inside our borders, yet has flagrantly and willfully ignored these warnings. Its captain has claimed to be in our House on a diplomatic mission, yet it bears no CR| tag and I am not aware of any Communication Channel request that it has put in.

Today is has pushed the good will of the Republic of Liberty too far, and we were forced to deal with it. The following are logs and confirmation from our Secondary Fleet forces that show its disregard for the safety of our citizens and the rule of our law.

Visual

Through efficient use of wording, I was able to get the vessel off of our planet and into space. After giving the following missive...

[30.08.2012 03:24:44] [LN]-LNS-Mount.Hood: Polstari: =::UPPC::=_Priest, for repeated and flagrant violation of Section 3 Subheading V of the Laws of Liberty...
[30.08.2012 03:24:48] [LN]-LNS-Mount.Hood: Your destruction in this space is authorized.
[30.08.2012 03:24:50] [LN]-LNS-Mount.Hood: Polstari: Vessels, engage and destroy =::UPPC::=_Priest.

We engaged and took out the vessel. The captain of the vessel survived and reportedly will now seek to engage any Liberty Navy vessel in or near your system. The captain of the vessel also threatened to return with one of your "Kronos" class Battleships, as stated below. Pardon any interference in the communication logs.

[30.08.2012 03:30:20] =::UPPC::=_Priest: well i will get my other character after 4 hours and we will see how you do against konos
[30.08.2012 03:30:29] LNS-Mustang: I'm adding that tactic to my strategybook.
[30.08.2012 03:30:33] [LN]-LNS-Mount.Hood: // He's threatening a Kronos now

In the interest of good relations, I am requesting that the Colonial Republic Military beware that the captain of this vessel may be unbalanced and seek to harm our relationship with your government. I am also requesting that the Republic of Liberty consider this vessel as hostile until otherwise stated.

Captain Polstari, signing off.

Captain Polstari, greetings.

I am Commander Roger Anders, currently in charge of the Colonial Military while Admiral Babchenko is in ill health. Thank you for coming to us about this... problematic individual.
This individual is known to us after an encounter with one of the independent haulers in our employ. The captain of the transport forwarded the information to us immediately, and my niece - Flight Officer Susan Anders - continued the discussion.

Attached are the logs, the first from the hauler:

[27.08.2012 23:43:19] Outside.Lane: Hello there.
[27.08.2012 23:43:25] =::UPPC::=_Priest: hello trader
[27.08.2012 23:43:36] =::UPPC::=_Priest: how are you today
[27.08.2012 23:43:37] Outside.Lane: What does the UPPC stand for?
[27.08.2012 23:43:43] Outside.Lane: Ah, not too bad.
[27.08.2012 23:43:53] =::UPPC::=_Priest: united planetary peace core
[27.08.2012 23:44:09] Outside.Lane: Which Planet, and peace with what?
[27.08.2012 23:44:19] =::UPPC::=_Priest: peace away from liberty
[27.08.2012 23:44:26] =::UPPC::=_Priest: we protect our own
[27.08.2012 23:44:37] Outside.Lane: You're a Libertonian?
[27.08.2012 23:45:44] =::UPPC::=_Priest: its true lol
[27.08.2012 23:46:01] Outside.Lane: So are you a Colonial?
[27.08.2012 23:46:06] =::UPPC::=_Priest: yes
[27.08.2012 23:46:16] Outside.Lane: Then what's your problem with Liberty?
[27.08.2012 23:46:27] Outside.Lane: Those I know are reasonably friendly with them.
[27.08.2012 23:46:34] Outside.Lane: Them being Liberty.
[27.08.2012 23:46:54] =::UPPC::=_Priest: they are scum they repeled the colonial republic and drove us to this system to rot
[27.08.2012 23:47:01] =::UPPC::=_Priest: this is now our home
[27.08.2012 23:47:14] Outside.Lane: Do you not mean Gallia?
[27.08.2012 23:47:14] =::UPPC::=_Priest: but we will take liberty back
[27.08.2012 23:47:25] =::UPPC::=_Priest: no liberty hate us
[27.08.2012 23:47:41] Outside.Lane: And where was your home that they drove you from?
[27.08.2012 23:47:51] =::UPPC::=_Priest: liberty we were a people
[27.08.2012 23:48:08] =::UPPC::=_Priest: it was the government
[27.08.2012 23:48:09] Outside.Lane: I thought you were part of the Republic..?

and the second from Susan:

[27.08.2012 23:51:26] CR|-Cunning[15th]: Greetings Captain.
[27.08.2012 23:51:45] =::UPPC::=_Priest: greetings
[27.08.2012 23:52:09] CR|-Cunning[15th]: One of our contracted haulers told me about you.
[27.08.2012 23:52:37] =::UPPC::=_Priest: oh ok captain well what can i do for you my brother
[27.08.2012 23:53:02] CR|-Cunning[15th]: Well I was quite confused by what he told me.
[27.08.2012 23:53:09] =::UPPC::=_Priest: and that was what
[27.08.2012 23:53:38] CR|-Cunning[15th]: I've been a citizen of the Republic since before we left Crayter, and I don't remember Liberty forcing us from our home.
[27.08.2012 23:54:17] =::UPPC::=_Priest: this is what ive always been led to believe by my father and his father before him why should i believe you
[27.08.2012 23:55:03] CR|-Cunning[15th]: How old are you?
[27.08.2012 23:55:10] =::UPPC::=_Priest: 25 sir
[27.08.2012 23:55:27] CR|-Cunning[15th]: And you were born as a member of the Colonial Republic?
[27.08.2012 23:55:38] =::UPPC::=_Priest: yes sir all my life
[27.08.2012 23:55:45] CR|-Cunning[15th]: Where were you born?
[27.08.2012 23:55:57] =::UPPC::=_Priest: on barrier station
[27.08.2012 23:56:31] CR|-Cunning[15th]: Well, I was born 20 years ago, 3 before the Republic even arrived in Sirius
[27.08.2012 23:57:11] =::UPPC::=_Priest: no no you are wrong are you trying to call my father a lier
[27.08.2012 23:57:38] CR|-Cunning[15th]: I am not wrong. The /real/ Colonials have only been here for 17 years
[27.08.2012 23:59:43] CR|-Cunning[15th]: I'm afraid your father may be an impostor, or has tried to cover up something of your past.
[28.08.2012 00:01:17] =::UPPC::=_Priest: so my whole past is a lie
[28.08.2012 00:01:31] CR|-Cunning[15th]: I'm afraid it seems that way.
[28.08.2012 00:01:52] =::UPPC::=_Priest: what am i to do
[28.08.2012 00:02:14] CR|-Cunning[15th]: Well for one thing, bringing war ships into Liberty under our name is a bad idea
[28.08.2012 00:02:15] =::UPPC::=_Priest: i was on my way to seize liberty
[28.08.2012 00:02:26] CR|-Cunning[15th]: Come back to Sabah.
[28.08.2012 00:02:38] =::UPPC::=_Priest: will you stay with me teach me the truth
[28.08.2012 00:03:07] =::UPPC::=_Priest: could you find out where im really from
[28.08.2012 00:03:29] CR|-Cunning[15th]: Do you still have contact with your father?
[28.08.2012 00:03:54] =::UPPC::=_Priest: no he died almost 13 years ago in a fire fight with a liberty cruiser
[28.08.2012 00:04:39] CR|-Cunning[15th]: There are many who would want to fight Liberty, but he is not a Colonial
[28.08.2012 00:05:33] =::UPPC::=_Priest: so a spy maybe he was trying to smuggle something through liberty when they were stopped i never knew what it was
[28.08.2012 00:05:40] =::UPPC::=_Priest: but they dide that day
[28.08.2012 00:05:48] =::UPPC::=_Priest: died*
[28.08.2012 00:05:55] CR|-Cunning[15th]: He was flying a transport?
[28.08.2012 00:06:09] =::UPPC::=_Priest: yeas
[28.08.2012 00:07:07] CR|-Cunning[15th]: I would suggest you try and contact someone on Barrier Gate Station
[28.08.2012 00:07:22] CR|-Cunning[15th]: They may know about your true heritage
[28.08.2012 00:07:28] =::UPPC::=_Priest: ive asked a thousand times no one seems to no him
[28.08.2012 00:08:17] =::UPPC::=_Priest: there was a man in liberty in the new york system who said he knew him but i have had no luck in finding this man
[28.08.2012 00:08:46] CR|-Cunning[15th]: Well if you wish to talk to people in Liberty, I would highly recommend losing the Cruiser
[28.08.2012 00:08:55] CR|-Cunning[15th]: They don't take kindly to seemingly-invading ships

As you can see, this person has been manipulated from birth by a now-absent father and has some deep-seated delusions regarding both of our nations, manifesting in aggressive actions against yours. It would also appear that the father managed to either steal or deceitfully acquire a Thanatos Cruiser and possibly a Kronos Battleship, which is particularly disturbing.

As you have said, do not take this individual as a representative of the Republic's diplomatic intentions concerning Liberty. I will give word for our forces to watch for this ship, and we will try to talk him down before another incident happens.
If you are threatened in the Cortez or Coronado system, we will attempt to suppress the individual if needed.

In the meantime, may we continue our cooperation against the Outcast and Gallic threats.

With all due regards,
Commander Roger Anders
