Priority: High

I hope this finds you well.

I am Akiro Tokunaga, of the Kusari Naval Forces division Naginata. I have just returned from the Galileo system bearing unfavourable news.

I was sent on a patrol to Galileo to moniter the border, given recent tensions. However, I came across a Liberty battlegroup, led by the LNS Waimea, an Overlord class Battleship, stationed at the Reppu bend. This is a gross violation of the Boorman treaty, which the captain of the Waimea declared as "defunct". They claimed to be operating to establish a "defensive perimeter" but refused to comment on why their perimeter was required to extend beyond their sovereign space. In addition, they claimed that their operation was still pending legality by the Government of Liberty.

Upon requests for them to withdraw from the system in accordance with the Boorman treaty, they vehemently refused. I have left the full logs of the encounter below, as well as identification of the LNS Waimea.

Code:
[03.07.2025 20:45:09] [LN]-Will,Realtak|5th: Looks like we have a Kusari navy ship here too.

[03.07.2025 20:45:47] Naginata-8: May I ask why the did the Navy feel the need to bring a battleship into this system?

[03.07.2025 20:46:04] PO3.Poplin: You don't keep up with the news, huh?

[03.07.2025 20:46:07] [LN]-LNS-Waimea: Cleveland: No, you can't.

[03.07.2025 20:46:19] [LN]-LNS-Waimea: Cleveland: Especially because we are technically on the Liberty side of the system.

[03.07.2025 20:46:42] Naginata-8: This is the borderworlds, Libertonian.

[03.07.2025 20:46:55] Naginata-8: It's not your space, is this an operation, or something similar?

[03.07.2025 20:47:09] [LN]-LNS-Waimea: Cleveland: Neither it is yours. So your questions are the same, meaningless.

[03.07.2025 20:47:27] Naginata-8: Hmm... So one of those types.

[03.07.2025 20:47:51] Naginata-8: I thought it would merely be a gesture of good will, especially since it appears there is no real threat to keep quiet for.

[03.07.2025 20:48:06] Rules Tip: Pirates need to keep their demands reasonable. Cargo and Monetary demands that exceed the maximum profit of a trader are viewed as unreasonable. ''Empty'' traders are not exempt from piracy, but the demands asked from them should reflect this.

[03.07.2025 20:48:09] Naginata-8: Ah, greetings officer.

[03.07.2025 20:48:17] Naginata-8: Are you seeing what I'm seeing?

[03.07.2025 20:48:19] Hannya: Your arrival cut them short answering my question, mind if I draw back to it?

[03.07.2025 20:48:21] [LN]-Will,Realtak|5th: What is up with your friend with the broken IFF.

[03.07.2025 20:48:42] Naginata-8: I'll answer your questions if you answer mine. [chuckles]

[03.07.2025 20:48:48] Aka.Manto|Aoi: I'm seeing a concerning concentration of heavy Liberty Navy assets.

[03.07.2025 20:48:56] PO3.Poplin: Who you callin' heavy?

[03.07.2025 20:48:58] Hannya: You're not aiming to cause me trouble if I end up contracted by Bristol, are you, Libertorians?

[03.07.2025 20:49:19] Hannya: I plainly assume the Naval Forces will give me side eyes, not so sure you'll leave it at this.

[03.07.2025 20:49:30] [LN]-Will,Realtak|5th: As far as I know Bristol is not involved

[03.07.2025 20:49:36] Hannya: Oh but they are.

[03.07.2025 20:49:54] Hannya: Witnessed Deep Space go a bit overboard with their claims lately, more than once.

[03.07.2025 20:49:58] Hannya: Towards them.

[03.07.2025 20:50:37] [LN]-Will,Realtak|5th: Once again as far as I know.

[03.07.2025 20:50:43] Hannya: I mean, I don't mind. Neither side has court orders halting Bristol exploitation.

[03.07.2025 20:50:53] Hannya: Strictly speaking, they're the current legal operators in the region.

[03.07.2025 20:51:03] Hannya: And thus the one legal entity to hand out contracts to me.

[03.07.2025 20:51:04] Hannya: Hehe.

[03.07.2025 20:51:32] [LN]-Will,Realtak|5th: Then you should not worry for your job Freelancer.

[03.07.2025 20:51:54] Hannya: I'll have to worry about my whereabouts in the future. Neither Deep Space or the Keiretsu will just let me shoot them -

[03.07.2025 20:51:58] Hannya: as part of such contracts.

[03.07.2025 20:52:02] Hannya: But that's where we are.

[03.07.2025 20:54:19] Hannya: It's why I asked whether you'll cause me trouble or not. Doubt your orders let you sit idly while I pursue -

[03.07.2025 20:54:21] LNS-Scorn: It's no secret there has been a great increase of unlawful activity in the border system, all the way back to the swallowing of

[03.07.2025 20:54:22] LNS-Scorn: Kepler.

[03.07.2025 20:54:36] Hannya: a factually legal contract against -illegal activity- even if committed by one of your citizens.

[03.07.2025 20:56:01] Hannya: And well, unlawful activity. Sure, they're included anyway. Doubt anyone minds me doing my part there.

[03.07.2025 20:56:03] [LN]-Will,Realtak|5th: Freelancer what do you think will happen if you shoot a Kusari corp in fron of them?

[03.07.2025 20:56:23] 46th|Jasmine.Ravenloft: We are simply setting up a defensive parameter in the hopes of maintaining a civil Galileo.

[03.07.2025 20:56:23] Hannya: The same I expect of you. Being shot at, quite rudely.

[03.07.2025 20:56:36] 46th|Jasmine.Ravenloft: Nothing more needs to be explained beyond that.

[03.07.2025 20:57:37] 46th|Jasmine.Ravenloft: Once all sides have come to an agreement legally it should alleviate any confusion.

[03.07.2025 20:58:03] Hannya: And until then you'll support Deep Space's yet to be clarified claims with military might.

[03.07.2025 20:58:09] Hannya: And the same applies to Kusari.

[03.07.2025 20:58:10] Hannya: Huh.

[03.07.2025 20:58:27] Hannya: That's mildly spoken anything but trying to "keep it civil" by either then.

[03.07.2025 20:58:37] 46th|Jasmine.Ravenloft: Our goal is not military might our goal is a defensive postion to protect the citizens of Liberty.

[03.07.2025 20:59:16] [LN]-Will,Realtak|5th: I think that you assume a lot Freelancer.

[03.07.2025 20:59:18] Hannya: Have them cease their operations then. There's a third party nestled right inbetween both. Bristol.

[03.07.2025 20:59:41] Hannya: I assume a lot because assumptions let me weight how much some jobs might end up paying and what the risks are.

[03.07.2025 20:59:43] Hannya: Sorry!

[03.07.2025 20:59:52] 46th|Jasmine.Ravenloft: Im a naval officer not a lawyer.  

[03.07.2025 21:00:13] 46th|Jasmine.Ravenloft: Once the legality of the situation is handled we can all move on from the situation.

[03.07.2025 21:00:43] Hannya: Very much true. It'll lead to less confusion for my contracts too, I suppose.

[03.07.2025 21:00:51] Hannya: They better hurry up then getting on common grounds.

[03.07.2025 21:00:53] [LN]-Will,Realtak|5th: Greetings Bristol mining ship.

[03.07.2025 21:01:03] OreMongrel: greetings

[03.07.2025 21:01:10] 46th|Jasmine.Ravenloft: Indeed it would be wise to make haste on the agreement.

[03.07.2025 21:03:09] [LN]-Will,Realtak|5th: I can't agree more with that.

[03.07.2025 21:04:55] Hannya: Hmh.

[03.07.2025 21:05:24] Hannya: I suppose the turmoil caused by your quite sizable appearance halted mining operations for the moment.

[03.07.2025 21:06:18] [LN]-Will,Realtak|5th: Kusari Navy ship we told you why we are here, how about you answer some questions.

[03.07.2025 21:06:26] Naginata-8: I don't believe you did.

[03.07.2025 21:06:35] 46th|Jasmine.Ravenloft: I literally just explained it.

[03.07.2025 21:06:55] Naginata-8: I was under the impression you were talking to the Mercenary.

[03.07.2025 21:07:05] Naginata-8: My apologies, explain away.

[03.07.2025 21:07:13] 46th|Jasmine.Ravenloft: You both were in ear shot of it.

[03.07.2025 21:07:31] Naginata-8: Give your formal explanation.

[03.07.2025 21:07:37] Naginata-8: And I'll give mine.

[03.07.2025 21:07:37] LNS-Scorn: Your black box has a recording of the information provided.

[03.07.2025 21:07:44] 46th|Jasmine.Ravenloft: Fine.

[03.07.2025 21:08:07] 46th|Jasmine.Ravenloft: We are here under the pretense of forming a defensive parameter to maintain the safety of liberty's citizens.

[03.07.2025 21:08:20] Tip: The world of Freelancer is full of ambiguity just like real life is. Not all characters showing up as hostile are your enemies. Likewise - not all characters showing up as neutral are your friends.

[03.07.2025 21:08:40] 46th|Jasmine.Ravenloft: With the new decreed law in effect until all partys have come to an agreement thats where  we stand.

[03.07.2025 21:08:49] Naginata-8: A pretense? [raises eyebrow]

[03.07.2025 21:08:58] 46th|Jasmine.Ravenloft: We aren't opening using "might" against anyone unless contacts are made against citizens of liberty.

[03.07.2025 21:09:19] 46th|Jasmine.Ravenloft: Well theres a legality to it as ive stated im no lawyer.

[03.07.2025 21:09:27] Naginata-8: That's fair.

[03.07.2025 21:09:35] 46th|Jasmine.Ravenloft: So until that is resolved yes we are under the assumption of what is currently the law.

[03.07.2025 21:10:02] Hannya: The Republic's law codex does not extent here. Neither does the Empire's.

[03.07.2025 21:10:16] Hannya: Is the Republic foregoing the restrictions laid upon the houses by the Boorman Treaty?

[03.07.2025 21:10:28] Naginata-8: So it would seem.

[03.07.2025 21:10:50] Naginata-8: Is Colorado not a safe enough perimeter for you? This "perimeter" is infringing on our territory.

[03.07.2025 21:10:54] 46th|Jasmine.Ravenloft: Take it however you want to take it.  You're going twist it however you see fit.

[03.07.2025 21:11:17] Hannya: Twisting this most crucial Treaty, as you'd call it, is what saved my ass from a few court hearings before.

[03.07.2025 21:11:27] /time

[03.07.2025 21:11:27] 2025-07-03 21:11:30 SMT 

[03.07.2025 21:11:40] Hannya: Nevermind. You're no lawyers, we had this already.

[03.07.2025 21:12:42] LNS-Scorn: Entertaining this Naval's questioning when in completely bad faith paints you a fool, Ravenloft.

[03.07.2025 21:12:50] LNS-Scorn: We owe no explaination.

[03.07.2025 21:13:05] Aka.Manto|Aoi: Excuse me, "in bad faith"? You're part of a significant battlegroup in blatant violation of the Boorman treaty --

[03.07.2025 21:13:07] 46th|Jasmine.Ravenloft: Was attempting to show a sign of respect to another naval officer.

[03.07.2025 21:13:13] Aka.Manto|Aoi: as, I am imagine, you're already been told.

[03.07.2025 21:13:17] LNS-Scorn: Which they are not reciprocating.

[03.07.2025 21:13:23] 46th|Jasmine.Ravenloft: Understood.

[03.07.2025 21:13:26] Naginata-8: So they were told.

[03.07.2025 21:14:10] Naginata-8: It would seem that the Boorman treaty holds no respect by the Republic...

[03.07.2025 21:14:36] Aka.Manto|Aoi: Have Liberty's finest explained yet what warrants the deployment of the Waimea to otherwise neutral space?

[03.07.2025 21:14:43] Naginata-8: They have.

[03.07.2025 21:14:55] Naginata-8: They say it is to establish a defensive perimeter.

[03.07.2025 21:14:57] Hannya: 'A safety perimter for Liberty citizens'.

[03.07.2025 21:15:02] Hannya: Ehm, perimeter!

[03.07.2025 21:15:07] Naginata-8: But.. I personally think it is something more sinister.

[03.07.2025 21:15:09] Aka.Manto|Aoi: They are more than welcome to establish such a perimeter within House Liberty's borders.

[03.07.2025 21:15:28] LNS-Scorn: It is amusing your proselytize to us given your actions during the border crisis. We retained blockade in Colorado.

[03.07.2025 21:15:33] LNS-Scorn: Your agents were sighted all across Galileo.

[03.07.2025 21:15:59] Naginata-8: Were there battleships among them?

[03.07.2025 21:16:00] Hannya: I've been witness to a stand-off between Liberty warships and a Naval Forces fighter detachment during that time.

[03.07.2025 21:16:15] Hannya: Likely both sides deployed more than they should have though.

[03.07.2025 21:16:19] Hannya: Do we need to repeat this?

[03.07.2025 21:16:36] LNS-Scorn: Four battlecruiser classes is more than a single battleship.

[03.07.2025 21:16:39] LNS-Scorn: Would you not agree?

[03.07.2025 21:17:01] Aka.Manto|Aoi: Not necessarily. A lone Battleships is an /absurd/ notion to begin with. You wouldn't dare claim your House so

[03.07.2025 21:17:04] Aka.Manto|Aoi: tactically inept, would you?

[03.07.2025 21:17:05] Hannya: Pull it back to Liberty space. It'll just provoke them to deploy heavier forces too. And what then? Spiral out of control?

[03.07.2025 21:17:19] LNS-Scorn: You will note this battleship is not alone.

[03.07.2025 21:17:25] Aka.Manto|Aoi: A Battleship represents a battlegroup, as you are quite literally demonstrating to us at this very moment.

[03.07.2025 21:17:37] [LN]-LNS-Waimea: Cleveland: Considering Kusari has been rattling a saber towards Bretonia and Gallia in the Taus several times in the past.-

[03.07.2025 21:17:44] [LN]-LNS-Waimea: -I am not willing to take any chances on our border.

[03.07.2025 21:18:01] Naginata-8: There is no need for this senseless debate. I formally request you withdraw your battlegroup from this system.

[03.07.2025 21:18:02] LNS-Scorn: Battlecruisers bring with them armada as well. As seen several times during the Bretonia/Kusari war, the Gallic war

[03.07.2025 21:18:10] LNS-Scorn: The Rheinland war with Liberty, and the Sigma war.

[03.07.2025 21:18:14] Naginata-8: And we will withdraw ourselves as well.

[03.07.2025 21:18:15] Aka.Manto|Aoi: And thus, in violation of one of Sirius' most cherished, and most recognized treaties, you decide to lay claim-

[03.07.2025 21:18:18] Hannya: Then keep your heavy vessels with the Ohio. All you do is provoke an equal response right now.

[03.07.2025 21:18:18] LNS-Scorn: Or are you so tactically unstudied?

[03.07.2025 21:18:26] [LN]-LNS-Waimea: Cleveland: In addition. The Boorman treaty has been signed many years ago.

[03.07.2025 21:18:27] Aka.Manto|Aoi: to this system, and deploy heavy assets to -- allegedly -- establish a defensive perimeter.

[03.07.2025 21:18:37] Hannya: And remains in effect.

[03.07.2025 21:18:40] [LN]-LNS-Waimea: Cleveland: And broken a million times too. Mostly by Kusari.

[03.07.2025 21:18:48] ZDF-Hinaichigo: Tomoe: Konichiwa

[03.07.2025 21:18:51] Naginata-8: There is no reason for our situation to escalate. It would be wise for us both to withdraw back to our own home.

[03.07.2025 21:19:18] Aka.Manto|Aoi: So, you admit, then, that you're here looking to provoke and escalate? Have your masters in Ageira's headquarters finally 

[03.07.2025 21:19:19] Naginata-8: Would you not see that as reasonable, Liberty forces?

[03.07.2025 21:19:23] Hannya: Gallia is not a signatory party of the Boorman Treaty, come to think of it.

[03.07.2025 21:19:25] Aka.Manto|Aoi: calculated that the odds are in their favor?

[03.07.2025 21:19:42] [LN]-LNS-Waimea: Cleveland: Why does Kusari always try to twist words to fit their own narrative.

[03.07.2025 21:20:00] LNS-Scorn: It proves your track record applies, treaty or no. You spark border conflict, and have endlessly over the last few decades.

[03.07.2025 21:20:11] Aka.Manto|Aoi: Reality is that your presence is an undisputable fact. You can settle this whole ordeal by simply leaving.

[03.07.2025 21:20:29] [LN]-LNS-Waimea: Cleveland: And now imagne we weren't here. Then you would be here without us.

[03.07.2025 21:20:30] Hannya: The Saigon conflict was provoked by the Federal Republic of Rheinland. Gallia is no signatory party.

[03.07.2025 21:20:36] Hannya: The war with Bretonia was a violation.

[03.07.2025 21:20:38] Hannya: Hmm.

[03.07.2025 21:20:39] Naginata-8: If you weren't here neither would we.

[03.07.2025 21:20:41] [LN]-LNS-Waimea: Cleveland: Wouldn't that also mean your presence is trying to provoke an answer?

[03.07.2025 21:20:47] LNS-Scorn: Your agents have been found deep inside New York, Agent Manto. You are in no position to suggest anything to us.

[03.07.2025 21:20:54] [LN]-LNS-Waimea: Cleveland: So you confirm you are monitoring traffic within Liberty borders?

[03.07.2025 21:20:58] Aka.Manto|Aoi: Your heat signature can be spotted from halfway across the system.

[03.07.2025 21:21:02] Aka.Manto|Aoi: We've come to investigate.

[03.07.2025 21:21:07] Hannya: Why are we debating who broke the treaty when, actually? The Republic broke it to justify their war with Rheinland.

[03.07.2025 21:21:23] Hannya: This just highlights it's even more crucial to abide by the Boorman Treaty now.

[03.07.2025 21:21:27] Hannya: More than ever. For both sides.

[03.07.2025 21:21:29] Aka.Manto|Aoi: There is nothing to debate. There is only one party here, present now, in violation of the treaty. Any further discussion is 

[03.07.2025 21:21:30] Aka.Manto|Aoi: meaningless.

[03.07.2025 21:21:34] [LN]-LNS-Waimea: Cleveland: The treaty is defunct. It is non-existant.

[03.07.2025 21:21:36] Aka.Manto|Aoi: We live in the present, not the past.

[03.07.2025 21:21:43] Hannya: It is existant.

[03.07.2025 21:21:45] LNS-Scorn: Rheinland placed a battleship in Hudson, and supported the Seperatists in Bering long before that conflict broke.

[03.07.2025 21:21:54] Hannya: What.

[03.07.2025 21:21:56] PO3.Poplin: Uhg, you keep taking about this BOORMAN treaty... You're Borin' ME, man! We have orders.

[03.07.2025 21:22:22] 46th|Jasmine.Ravenloft: Can I ask a question?

[03.07.2025 21:22:33] Naginata-8: Yes you may.

[03.07.2025 21:22:43] LNS-Scorn: You're under no superior authority to remain silent.

[03.07.2025 21:22:55] LNS-Scorn: Unless the admiral wishes to protest.

[03.07.2025 21:22:56] 46th|Jasmine.Ravenloft: Have we shown you any hostility and would you all show any towards liberty miners.  If the answer is and has remained no.

[03.07.2025 21:23:01] 46th|Jasmine.Ravenloft: Why are we even arguing?

[03.07.2025 21:23:06] [LN]-LNS-Waimea: Cleveland: May I also just remind you that.

[03.07.2025 21:23:18] [LN]-LNS-Waimea: Cleveland: Kusari violated that treaty themselves when they attacked Bretonia in the Taus?

[03.07.2025 21:23:21] Hannya: Mhm. I just see potential for this to cause unnecessary trouble. Meaning, a Dreadnoughts deployment.

[03.07.2025 21:23:28] Hannya: So did you, attacking Rheinland.

[03.07.2025 21:23:32] [LN]-LNS-Waimea: Cleveland: You are only trying to enforce what benefits you and when.

[03.07.2025 21:23:38] Naginata-8: Because we had a line before, that was meant not to be crossed by warships.

[03.07.2025 21:23:41] Hannya: Do you really want to hinge on the past here?

[03.07.2025 21:23:42] Naginata-8: That line was supposed to be Galileo.

[03.07.2025 21:23:46] Naginata-8: What will it be next, Shikoku?

[03.07.2025 21:23:48] Naginata-8: New Tokyo?

[03.07.2025 21:23:58] [LN]-Will,Realtak|5th: In gods name can only one of you talk?

[03.07.2025 21:24:00] [LN]-LNS-Waimea: Cleveland: Don't you hinge on the past with a defunct treaty from over fourty or more years ago?

[03.07.2025 21:24:08] Freeport.13: Tomoe

[03.07.2025 21:24:16] Hannya: It is not defunct. Not one signatory party resigned from it.

[03.07.2025 21:24:18] Aka.Manto|Aoi: An eight hundred year old treaty, Waimea-actual.

[03.07.2025 21:24:27] Freeport.13: Tomoe: Freeport Thirteen is active in system, the bar is open!

[03.07.2025 21:24:45] [LN]-LNS-Waimea: Cleveland: That has been violated just as many times as it is old. By every house. Which, in fact, renders it defunct.

[03.07.2025 21:25:33] LNS-Scorn: Its validity is too convenient for politicians, admiral. Regardless of how many times it's been broken.

[03.07.2025 21:25:42] Hannya: This.

[03.07.2025 21:25:44] Aka.Manto|Aoi: You are not a diplomat, captain. You are the commanding officer aboard a /warship/. Leave the law to those

[03.07.2025 21:25:46] Aka.Manto|Aoi: who actually know it.

[03.07.2025 21:25:50] Hannya: And you know why?

[03.07.2025 21:26:00] LNS-Scorn: The Naval Officer is correct in saying it is not defunct, regardless of breach, as it has not been legally absolved.

[03.07.2025 21:26:00] Freeport.13: Tomoe: Freeport Thirteen has smallcraft docking avalible, and the bar is open!

[03.07.2025 21:26:01] Hannya: Because it prevents escalatory spirals.

[03.07.2025 21:26:14] Aka.Manto|Aoi: Allow me to ask you a question, Waimea-actual.

[03.07.2025 21:26:21] .:j:.Cypher: Masterson:  Woah, lots of navy.

[03.07.2025 21:26:29] Aka.Manto|Aoi: This conflict is so utterly trivial to resolve.

[03.07.2025 21:26:32] Aka.Manto|Aoi: All you need do is retreat.

[03.07.2025 21:26:34] Aka.Manto|Aoi: Why do you refuse to?

[03.07.2025 21:26:40] PO3.Poplin: Junker please hold for a scan.

[03.07.2025 21:26:41] LNS-Scorn: This is not a conflict.

[03.07.2025 21:26:46] Naginata-8: If this has been settled by the willful disregard of the Boorman treaty by Liberty, then I see no further reason to stay here.

[03.07.2025 21:26:57] .:j:.Cypher: Masterson:  Nothin' but legitimate cargo.

[03.07.2025 21:26:58] Naginata-8: I will contact my superiors.

[03.07.2025 21:27:02] [LN]-LNS-Waimea: Cleveland: This is not a conflict. You coming here, trying to make it look like one is the issue. 

[03.07.2025 21:27:14] LNS-Scorn: By your codex, that is required, and thus needn't be said.

[03.07.2025 21:27:16] Naginata-8: Kusari will be made aware of this. And we will not forget it.

[03.07.2025 21:27:19] LNS-Scorn: Unless of course you think that frightens us.

[03.07.2025 21:27:20] Naginata-8: Good day.

[03.07.2025 21:27:21] Freeport.13: Tomoe: While you're here feel free to buy some drinks!

[03.07.2025 21:27:25] Aka.Manto|Aoi: You are militarizing well beyond your border, and awfully close to ours.

[03.07.2025 21:27:28] [LN]-Will,Realtak|5th: It is useless they came here to pick a fight.

[03.07.2025 21:27:31] Hannya: The Waimea is a provocation with the potential to escalate this situation. I just want to have fancy contracts, not shoot-

[03.07.2025 21:27:34] [LN]-LNS-Waimea: Cleveland: And we will not forget who attacked our allies.

[03.07.2025 21:27:39] LNS-Scorn: The lanes tell you where the line is, Agent.

[03.07.2025 21:27:39] Hannya: outs amidsts houses clashing, alright?

[03.07.2025 21:27:40] Aka.Manto|Aoi: How could one possibly interpret this as anything but an obvious, intentional provocation?

[03.07.2025 21:27:43] LNS-Scorn: Read their signatures.

[03.07.2025 21:27:46] Naginata-8: Manto, I will be withdrawing to Shikoku.

[03.07.2025 21:27:54] PO3.Poplin: Looks clearn to me. Mind if i ask where you're heading?

[03.07.2025 21:28:02] Naginata-8: We will not forget this.

LNS Waimea

This poses a significant security threat to our House. A battleship led task force from the Republic of Liberty infringing on our borders is not something that can be taken lightly. I lay this matter before you and trust your judgment.

Pilot.

Your observations represent a key piece for us to determine the current course of actions decided upon by the Republic of Liberty.
Other witness reports and a brief diplomatic exchange between Lord Protector Mitsuo and an Admiral of the Liberty Navy lead us to the conclusion that Liberty's forces are acting under specific orders but not in unison on how to interpret and deal with these orders. The commanding officer of the LNS-Waimea appears to have a vastly different understanding of inter-house legalities and customary laws than other representatives of House Liberty. This lack of an unified action course is problematic and we must expect similar incidents to occur again.

Escalatory steps must be the last resort, act in self defense and attempt to utilize every showing of criminal elements as a way to promote cooperation. Defending our economic interests may lead to tense stand-offs in the nearby future but it is on servicemen like yourself to show dignified restraint and only act when fired upon. The Empire prefers a diplomatic solution to the legal dispute, but we'll not back out either.

We must act carefully in the coming weeks, all it takes is for provocations by those actively seeking a confrontation to lit everything on fire. I fully trust our forces to behave in accordance to the Empire's interests, the same seemingly cannot be said about some parts of Liberty's Forces. The Admiral on the LNS-Waimea appears to be one of these seeking active confrontation above all else. Report any sightings of that vessel in Galileo immediately. Further instructions for our deployed forces will be issued by Lord Protector Mitsuo.

Thank you for your excellent service, Tokunaga-san.

Understood, Kaigun. Any and all confrontations that may arise will be handled with the utmost care and restraint on my end.

I will monitor the developing situation closely, as I await further instructions from the Lord Protector, and inform you should the pilots of Liberty escalate this conflict to a breaking point.

In service to Kusari.
