Your report is received and noted. I am glad to hear that you are OK. I contacted the base commander and he informs me that they did indeed tractor in the pods of those who ejected and that they are OK. As for the Xeno in question, they will be dealt with.
Thank You,
Dr. John Henry Holliday

Greetings, Zoners. I come today with a complaint of an Outcast opening fire on me inside of the Neutrality Zone. The Blighter's name is [RA]Mr.Garison . I was flying around Tau-37 in search of a Countermeasure Dropper, and I was preparing to dock with Freeport 11. He then said "Engage" and started shooting. I had no choice but to defend myself, and the station decided to fire at us both. I agree with that decision, send my regards to the Station commander. After sustaining heavy damage from the fighter and the Destroyer, the station tractored in my damaged ship, before the cockpit was breached to hard vacuum, and I was picked up by an IMG patrol later that day.
My guncam shots are a little unclear, as I was flying around trying to evade fire. However, you can clearly see my shields damaged, an outcast in proximity, and us flying beside the station. Some time into the fight, an Outcast Destroyer opened fire on me as well. I however do not have a name, or a guncam shot, but he was wearing the [RA] tags.
Sir, in future it would be much appreciated if you would simply dock, rather than returning fire, thereby doubling the potential damage to our facilities.
It just so happens that I am currently docked at Freeport 10 on an inspection visit. While travelling to the station, I encountered no Outcasts in the vicinity, or within Tau 37; but we all know how quickly things can change, eh?
I will proceed immediately to Alpha, and see what i can ascertaine about these "[RA]" chaps, and see if their Outcast orientation regarding Zoner facilities has been neglected.
Thank you for your report sir. Again, in future.. please get your guncam footage and retreat to our docking bays instead of engaging.
The RA should be advised that they will acknowledge the Freeport No Fire Zones. Failure to do so may result in punitive action by the Council of Dons, certainly the 101st, and it should be noted that should the TAZ or other Zoner forces feel the need to take their own actions against the RA that the 101st will not intervene, and any sanctions the Zoners choose to impose the RA will be expected to honor.

While inspecting Freeport 10 for possible damage, I had the opportunity to speak with several RA vessels, though i don't believe their leader was one of them.
They seemed quite receptive to my "mentoring" on Freeport Etiquette. I trust we will have no more problems regarding these Outcasts.
It's my understanding that since the behaviour of certain rookie pilots on both the Bounty Hunter and Corsair side cannot really be controlled, that any ship that is attacked by those rookies is to either dock and avoid the issue for a while, or to remove itself from the area.
Is this not correct, regardless of whether the ship being attacked is Corsair, Hunter, or Order tagged?
Here's a picture of BloodyMargie shooting at Rookies outside FP11
What I find disturbing is that a member of the Zoner Federation stated that because he didn't care for the NFZ, that it was perfectly fine with him for there to be reckless fire in the vicinity of Freeport 11 - this, after all the effort that has been put into repairing it after the Nomad attacks.
I will give him credit for saying he didn't want to see LARGE weapons fired in the vicinity of FP11. But come on - how loud would the screams be if it had been MY ship sitting there and Corsair rookies had attacked me and MY crew and we'd done exactly this?
I sense (and smell) some hypocrisy here.
No, you cannot control every Zoner or their actions. We have lost ships and personnel before helping to defend your base. Certainly you can at least consider either having your laws apply equally to all - or they shall apply to none.

Sir, my first "unofficial" impression is this, sir:
"Bloody Margie" has flapping lips the size of a black hole, and "Admiral" Marvin speaks out of another "orifice" entirely.
Not sure if that is responsive to your complaint, sir, but it's damn well how I feel about this bollocks.
Unfortunately, neither "Captain" is a Registered CoZ Delegate, Harold, so stuffing the appropriate "socks" in the appropriate orifices is a bit problematic.
Let's just say this.. If it gobbles, it's probably a turkey, regardless of ID or IFF.
You really do NOT want to know what visual image went through my mind when you throw the words Bloody, Margie, flapping, lips, and hole into the same sentence. I think there's a new feminine hygiene product for that, though...
Actually, I had to play your message aloud for the crew, because they thought their captain had lost his marbles. The laughter from below-decks was a welcome relief from the muterings that have been ongoing since this encounter.
For what it's worth - there is restaurant that I've been to on Gran Canaria, down in the Canal district, that owes me a favor or two. The owner is also the chef. You get those turkeys - we'll see that they're served up for the appropriate crowd.

Corsair Montzuma fired upon the BH Wolverine in the NFZ. Montezuma asked for the corsair pilots being held on Wolverines ship to be released. Wolvering refused and the Montezuma opened fire. Thomas Hunter was a witness and repeatedly asked them to stop. Thomas Hunter also told him to not open fire upon the Wolverine in the NFZ.
I am fully aware and understand the plight of Montezuma wanting his brothers in arms, but he could have honorably retrieved his brothers outside of the NFZ. Montezuma had complete disregard for Thomas Hunter and myself in our attempts to enforce the NFZ at Freeport 11.
I have heard many good things about Montezuma and he is honorable. However, this should not be allowed to stand.
