Guten tag,
Mercenary Frank Compton here.

<sigh> Got a notice that your records needed an update, so here I am. I'll just run down what I do, and who I am, quickly. I'm a busy man.

First off, my name is Frank Compton. I grew up in Rheinland, and I plan on staying here. I was enrolled in a Rheinland Military officer's training school until I dropped out for... personal reasons, becoming a mercenary. Since then, I've sworn to the protection of Rheinland space, and loyalty to Rheinland authority. Hell, I'm a tool in your hands, you know how to use me.

My father was a veteran in your forces until he... <grits teeth> ... died. He entrusted his private military vessel, a Snubnose bomber, to me when before he did, thinking I would follow in his footsteps, becoming an officer. I've got my reasons for my decision, and you don't need to know them. Not that it matters, I shoot who you tell me to.

That good enough for you? Ugh...
Compton out.

I've gone over your records, and they come up clean. Your ship is legal, and your licensing will be updated to reflect your status with the Rheinland Military. There is nothing else we need from you. Thank you for your time and cooperation.

Lukas Engel,
Bounty Coordination Officer
