IND to the offices of the RFP and RM

[Reverend Del]

Let me first outline the scene, two IND vessels carrying Cobalt towards Bretonia, stopped by an incompetent fool of an RFP officer who demands our immediate removal from Rheinland space.

Now Interspace may be registered in Liberty but we are a Sirius Corporation, having offices in New Berlin itself.
How then is it sensible to demand an Interspace vessel or two remove themselves from A system in which we have a significant holding? For all the officer knew we were heading there to dock for the evening anyway.

If there is another demand for Interspace to remove themselves from Rheinland, we can assure you we will, and we shall remove insurance from all Rheinland Shipping companies to boot. Removal of Interspace would cost you a small fortune in tax as vessels would be easy prey for pirates, and no recompense would be forthcoming, and on the verges of war can you really stand to bankroll the insurance yourselves? I think not.

Do not take this lightly, for we are not. Interspace values it's unique relationship with the four Houses and wishes to maintain it. But more ignorance and stupidity of this kind cannot be tolerated. For both of our sakes, do the needful.

Oh and a necessary dressing down of Nikolai Deinhardt would be recompense for time lost I feel.

We at the RFP are embarrassed by this incident. The situation is being dealt with and I assure it will not happen again.

ADDENDUM TO ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION:

I nearly forgot, as per protocol an investigation of this matter will be conducted. If you could provide me with statements of the incident from the captains of the IND vessels that would be helpful. I need to know if there was any involvement with other units, RFP or otherwise. I would appreciate any information on this matter.
