Freeport No-Fire Zone Violations

Greetings,

while Freeport 4 is an IMG base, do the Zoners apply their No Fire Zone there as well, or reports should be directed to the IMG?

Sir,

Freeport 4 is under full control of the Independent Miners Guild and is not under the influence in any way of the Zoners so no, our NFZ does not apply here. You will have to ask the IMG leadership what their ruling is.

But here's a credit's worth of free advice. I practice what I preach in that no matter where I go, I don't fire my guns around anyone's base as a measure of respect and safety.

I had just got finished with a long day of destroying cardamine and slave transports when I decided to take a break at Freeport 10 in the Tau 37 system. I have never killed a Zoner. I have always upheld and respected your Laws and the No Fire Zone around your Freeports all around Sirius. I was on my ship taking a crap while parked at Freeport 10 when I heard my scanners go off. I then ran towards my cockpit, only to trip, fall, and knock myself out for a few seconds. It may have been an hour. There is know way to know. I have a small bump on my head but it's already starting to go down. But that is not important.

As I awoke from unconsciousness I staggered to my controls and viewed two combat vessels who identified themselves as Outcast Nightlord and Leet_Sauce, converging on my position. They then called me a traitor, and vowed to kill me right there at the Freeport! I knew then that these trash were sent to destroy me by the Dons themselves. Their brainwashed ramblings of me being a traitor proved to me they were nothing more than puppets controlled by the Dons. I told them to respect the No Fire Zone, but they were like rambling zombies foaming at the mouth parreting Don Council propaganda. I told them I would not return fire, for fear of the people on Freeport 10. They then launched an all out attack. Their aimless shots were striking both me, as well as the Freeport itself. Windows were being shattered and people were flying out into space meeting their swift demise as their bodies both froze and caught fire at the same time.

Their brutal onslaught on me and Freeport 10 did not end there. A tiny camera ship was there trying to make his career on the pictures he was getting. Little did he know the danger he was in. Just then Leet_Sauce launched a missile at me. I dodged it with great skill only to realize it was heading straight for the camera guy! I engaged my thrusters and swung my ship in front of him just in time to save his ship from certain destruction. My gunship sustained heavy damage, but I was still alive. I cannot say the same for my cat. The missile forced a missile turret shell to explode, launching my cat and melting him to the ceiling. The eery outline of his body is still there. And it smells really bad, you have no idea. I then realized for the safety of the station and my ship, I had to dock. But not before gathering a picture that would capture the pure essence of the moment.

Zoner Council I ask you to punish these fools, and ask the Council of the Dons why their men are are killing your people and violating your laws. I fear this is only a sample of what these dogs will do to further their lust for wealth and power.


Here is the photograph taken by my awsome camera.

*Additional proof to support my story. To the letter.

This is where I save the camera guy. Please note that Leet_Sauce is in front of me and the camera guy is behind me. And direct your eyes to the upper right. It clearly shows an Incoming missile. My Missile alert was lit up. Camera_Guy Saved from death

This is the explosion that threw shrapnel against the Freeport, Killing hundreds of innocents.

My, my Jakka. What an amusing tale you weave. If you were as accomplished an Outcast as you are a liar you would be a Don by now.

The truth is we chased you across three systems. I tracked you to a Junker barge in Tau39 and then followed your carnage to Tau23. While looking for you there I ran across Camera_Guy who asked if he could follow me and catch some shots of the action. I then followed you to Tau37 where you spewed your virulence at us while cowering under the Freeport. You didnt warn us off you buffoon, you wanted us to attack and provoked us. Cowering under the Zoners...disgraceful. Of course we didnt hit the Freeport. I am an Outcast, not a cannibal. I know how to aim properly, thank you. And the part of protecting the Camera_Guy! That is hilarious. If he was in such danger from us why did he hang around and chat while you went to clean your pants? If you look in the picture, he was behind ME!

Did I violate the NFZ? I did, and I apologize. I have the utmost respect for the Zoners and their ways. I am always courteous to them when I run across them in my wanderings. I actually do a lot of business on Freeport 10 and would hate it if this incident impedes that. I do ask that you not harbour this fugitive and instead deny him docking rights. He is using your Freeport as a base in his misguided crusade against the Maltese Nation.

Again I apologize Zoners. If there is something I might do to clear the air of this incident please let me know.

Oh, and Jakka. Now that I know what an honourless lout you are I will record all interactions between us. Lying dog. Could you not find more than a single picture to support your travesty of a story?

Confirmation of my story may be had from Leet_Sauce and Camera_Guy, if you can find him.

Jakka.. I suggest you stay tuned for the Council's Notice of Official Policy, coming to a public kiosk near you soon. Especially the little part about "Loitering and Inflammatory Behavior".

Nightlord. Apology accepted.. this time.

All claims and counterclaims are hereby declared Null and Void.

If either of you wish to make amends, the biodome plexi-panels on Freeport 10 could stand a good washing, inside and out.

Have a nice day,

To: Council of Zoners

Subject: Vessel in possession of Zoner pilots.

Note; An adivsory. Vessel complied.

Upon undocking from Freeport 1 for normal patrol, I observed the Corsair vessel "Paria.Tecto" in close proximity to the Freeport.

We chatted briefly, and the pilot stated he was "waiting for orders'.

I performed a routine scan of the Titan VHF, and immediately observed 4 Zoner pilots in its hold. I demanded the release of our Brethren, while also punctuating the demand with a double razor shot. (The vessel received only minor hull damage, and the pilot's teeth were rattled. I suggested the services or our "Doc" Holliday..)

The Paria.Tecto dropped the pilots immediately, "received his orders", and moved away from the Freeport without further problems.

Guncam documentation on file if required.

I found an Order carrier today who seemed remarkably 'forgetful' today, especially concering BHG inside the No Fire Zone and what he was and was not allowed to do to them. I didn't actually get a shot of him firing near the station, but I do have this:

Just a little picture I thought you boys ought to have a look at.



I came under attack right at the position you see me at. I wasn't the only one but I was lucky and escaped. The others didn't make it. I would think however that their escape pods made it to the FP.
You can see my shield condition, the Xeno 'Jack.Williams' and the proximity of Freeport 2.

Have a nice day,
