To whom it may concern within IMG legal/administration.
The United Kingdom of Bretonia has been made aware of an alleged instance of assault and destruction of property (UKBCIL 3.1, 3.6) involving the captain of the IMG|Wavecrest which took place on July 12, 835 AS. CDI has opened an investigation on the matter and requires your cooperation and assistance. To help facilitate the investigation and subsequent legal processes we require all of the Wavecrest's communication logs from the day in question, the name of the captain and executive officer on duty at the time of the alleged incident, onboard security footage, sensor logs, and witness statements from the bridge staff.
Electronic copies are acceptable however physical drives are preferred. If you are transferring physical drives and documents have your courier bring them to:
Unit 24, Stanbrook Hall, Millgarth Street, Wharferdale City, Aberavon, Planet Sprague, Omega-3. BW0101 WD56 3LO.
Case reference number L/35/023518-M
Your cooperation in streamlining this investigation appreciated.
If you decline to cooperate we will proceed with filing warrants for the information. Let me also remind you that any attempts to provide us with evidence that has been tampered with will constitute additional legal repercussions. Failure to cooperate may result in an adverse inference being drawn about the subject of all ongoing enquiries.
If you have any questions or concerns please reply back on this commband or contact me at +7755631 230234 444
This is a rather unexpected and unfortunate reason for us to come into contact again. I wanted to congratulate you on your promotion but that is beside the point. Yes, the guild is willing to provide the evidence requested the captain of the Wavecrest will be contacted. The Guild believes that it would be beneficial to this investigation if you could share any evidence related to the case on your end, particularly since you haven't specified the exact timeframe for the materials you're requesting.
Additionally, as you may recall from your time during the transfer project, Guild ships do not follow a standardized crew complement. Each vessel is operated at the discretion of its members. Therefore, aside from the captain, I cannot provide a confirmed crew list for the Wavecrest.
Once everything is in order, we will dispatch an armored transport to Sprague to deliver the physical drives to you in person
With regards
Albert Schulze, Guildmaster

Ah, Mr. Schulze, it's been some time.
I hadn't expected you to contact me directly on this matter. I am glad you remember me from the Bretonian anti-defamation community outreach program. I wish we were talking again under more ideal circumstances.
I am afraid though that I cannot disclose evidence in our possession during an active investigation. I will however relay you the details as we have been made aware of them:
The above mentioned incident (L/35/023518-M) took place in the Leeds system on the 12th of July at 05:05:54 Standard Sirian time. At the time in question a BMF heavy tanker registered as the Biff Dickinson came under fire and sustained major damage that resulted in the loss of the ship's cargo and powerplant. The only ship that was present on the Biff Dickinson's sensor logs at this time was a ship marked as the IMG|Wavecrest. Scan data from the incident suggests this is a Borderworlds Transport registered to the IMG. Investigations from CDI and Interspace's insurance agents are still evaluating the exact extent of the monetary damage from the incident. The extent of the injuries sustained by the crew is also still being evaluated by the medical staff aboard Durham Outpost.
As you can see this is a very serious allegation that resulted in an significant loss of property and endangered many lives. Any assistance you can provide in getting to the bottom of what happened is greatly appreciated.
And thank you for the congratulations in regards to the promotion.
The captain of the Wavecrest has gotten back to me with their logs.
While the physical copies are headed towards Sprague in a guild transport. I’m sending you Miss Montgomery a portion of the data from their encounter beginning at 05:01:48 in Tau-31. Additional material will be presented once the physical drives arrive in Omega-3.
From what I’ve reviewed so far, it seems the Wavecrest ran into the Biff Dickinson in Tau-31 and attempted to initiate communication with its pilot. As for what happened in Leeds I should mention we have no internal logs from that system, though the Wavecrest did enter Tau-31 from Leeds shortly before the recorded encounter in the system.
Let me know if you require anything else in the meantime.
[12.07.2025 05:01:48] IMG|Wavecrest: Well this is something.
[12.07.2025 05:01:53] IMG|Wavecrest: Now where are you headed?
[12.07.2025 05:02:16] IMG|Wavecrest: Don't feel like talking?
[12.07.2025 05:02:23] IMG|Wavecrest: Alright then.
With regards
Albert Schulze, Guildmaster

Mr. Schulze,
I'd like to personally extend my thanks for delivering us the data drives today, and for the cooperation of you and your guild members during our investigation. As previously agreed, I have included a copy of the interview for IMG records in this commband. We may reach out in the future with additional questions. A pleasure as always.
[19.07.2025 13:54:20] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Ahem.
[19.07.2025 13:54:32] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: So. I will advise you that this interview is being recorded.
[19.07.2025 13:54:39] IMG|Ternate: Yeah, whatever.
[19.07.2025 13:54:46] A/)-Revenant:: Hello mom!
[19.07.2025 13:54:47] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something
[19.07.2025 13:54:56] A/)-Revenant:: Wait, is this being published on the neuralnet?
[19.07.2025 13:55:05] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given as evidence.
[19.07.2025 13:55:32] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Captain, could you state your name for the records?
[19.07.2025 13:55:35] IMG|Ternate: I mean I'm a Libertonian citizen so I'm not sure how relevant that is, but sure.
[19.07.2025 13:55:47] IMG|Zlatibor: Keep the local chatter limited.
[19.07.2025 13:56:13] IMG|Zlatibor: I would also like a copy of this recording sent.
[19.07.2025 13:56:21] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Very well.
[19.07.2025 13:56:32] IMG|Ternate: My name is Cassandra Lefaucheux. I am a citizen of Liberty, Los Angeles.
[19.07.2025 13:56:36] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: *sipping coffee loudly*
[19.07.2025 13:56:49] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: And you're captain of the Wavecrest?
[19.07.2025 13:57:18] IMG|Ternate: Other persons sometimes captain the Wavecrest at times, but I am its registered owner and was its captain-
[19.07.2025 13:57:26] IMG|Ternate: at the time of the, uh, alleged incident.
[19.07.2025 13:57:37] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Can you please describe the nature of the ship in question?
[19.07.2025 13:57:47] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: It's class and intended usage?
[19.07.2025 13:58:15] IMG|Ternate: The ship in question is a DL-series transport. Its purpose is...well, it's a transport. So, hauling mostly.
[19.07.2025 13:58:37] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: What was the nature of your business in Tau-31 on the day of the alleged incident, July 12th?
[19.07.2025 13:59:05] IMG|Ternate: Going north.
[19.07.2025 13:59:44] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Could you please describe to me the events that transpired on July 12th of this year in Tau-31 that involved the Wavecrest?
[19.07.2025 14:00:29] IMG|Ternate: No, I won't. Since Tau-31 is not within the jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Bretonia. You have no legal right to ask, and I-
[19.07.2025 14:00:40] IMG|Ternate: have no legal obligation to answer.
[19.07.2025 14:01:08] IMG|Ternate: But I'll paint you a small picture, if you want.
[19.07.2025 14:01:28] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: You may if you want, mind you as I have previously stated this interview is being conducted under caution.
[19.07.2025 14:01:33] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: You can reserve the right not to answer.
[19.07.2025 14:01:39] IMG|Ternate: Some things may or may not have occurred in Tau-31 that led to conflict with this BMF tanker.
[19.07.2025 14:02:07] IMG|Ternate: This conflict then moved into what actually is your jurisdiction, in Leeds.
[19.07.2025 14:02:16] IMG|Ternate: But how it started? Who can say.
[19.07.2025 14:02:33] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Was the Wavecrest loaded with cargo at time time of the incident?
[19.07.2025 14:03:02] IMG|Ternate: I don't have to answer that and my lawyers have advised me not to.
[19.07.2025 14:03:13] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Very well.
[19.07.2025 14:03:50] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Have you had any experience in ship to ship combat?
[19.07.2025 14:04:30] IMG|Ternate: Yes, such as when the savage captain of the uh....whatever that BMF ship was called shot at me.
[19.07.2025 14:05:07] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: So do you allege that the BMF tanker was the aggressor?
[19.07.2025 14:05:45] IMG|Ternate: No, I don't want to state who was the aggressor, or what caused the incident. Merely that it started beyond the border.
[19.07.2025 14:05:49] IMG|Suchipi: Contact.
[19.07.2025 14:06:10] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Is there any set IMG policy in regards to communications and conduct with "rival" mining groups?
[19.07.2025 14:06:18] IMG|Zlatibor: It is a freelancer no need for worry.
[19.07.2025 14:06:36] IMG|Ternate: That is an internal manner and is subject to appropriate privacy laws.
[19.07.2025 14:07:16] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Do you acknowledge that the IMG is investigating the incident that has transpired within Tau-31 and Leeds?
[19.07.2025 14:07:41] IMG|Zlatibor: I will answer that one.
[19.07.2025 14:07:47] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Proceed.
[19.07.2025 14:08:36] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: *sipping coffee*
[19.07.2025 14:09:43] IMG|Zlatibor: I do acknowledge that we have been looking into this event in order to limit them from happening again in such a manner.
[19.07.2025 14:10:17] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Would you in the future be willing to forward a summary of findings to the CDI for review?
[19.07.2025 14:11:19] IMG|Zlatibor: I would like to be able to do so but I can't give guarantees.
[19.07.2025 14:11:28] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: I see I see.
[19.07.2025 14:11:40] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: I have one final question.
[19.07.2025 14:12:03] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Has the IMG or you yourself as the captain of the Wavecrest approached Interspace to file an insurance claim for
[19.07.2025 14:12:21] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Damages and lost property aboard the Wavecrest due to the incident?
[19.07.2025 14:12:53] IMG|Ternate: No, our ship was fortunately not damaged in the event, likely due to the incompetence of the BMF crew that engaged us.
[19.07.2025 14:13:02] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: I see I see.
[19.07.2025 14:13:36] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Ahem. This is Sgt. Montgomery, ending the interview recording for case L/35023518-M.
