While I was making an appropriate visit to our facilities in Omicron Delta last night, we received reports that our rebellious members were in the vicinity of your base, Freeport 11. As there had been reports that these brigands had previously violated your NFZ, I immediately hopped into my bomber to assist in case things turned ... ugly again.
When I arrived at Freeport 11, the Apocalypse rebels were hanging loosely in space about 8K away, and minding their behavior. So that was fine, and the only shots fired were verbal ones. Unfortunately, apparently the commanding officer of the Corsair Legate Baba_Yaga lost his mind, and started shooting AT Freeport 11. He wasn't even shooting at OUR ships that were in the vicinity, as you can see in this gun camera evidence, he was blatantly targeting the hanger bays and bio-domes.
Lest you think I manufactured this evidence to simply cause issues, the RUI.H was sitting right there as well and witnessed exactly what we saw.
Now, I know you're going to holler about us not stopping him. Well, our problem is - if we had then further compounded the NFZ violation by shooting him - and then HE presented evidence that WE were violating the NFZ, then you would have conflicting stories. Zoners are allegedly neutral to everyone, but we all know that you're more neutral towards others than you are to we hunters - and we're fine with that. It appeared that the base shields worked fine anyway, but ... you really can't have it both ways. So sometimes ... morons with large guns may do things none of us like.
We will respect your laws and not fire within the zone unless you're being attacked by nomads, wilde, or specifically asked by a zoner that is present - but we will not allow the possibility for US to be accused of violating your laws in any other manner.
I will also note that the other Corsair present didn't fire on Baba_Yaga either. I don't think he quite knew what to make of it, either, and since those present who actually had positive IQ's really didn't want the situaton to escalate there, we all sort of had to sit on our thumbs.

Tonight was quite interesting...
A rather annoying cult, an obvious con to say the least violated our Nuetrallity, firing on members of the Order, BHG Core, and even my ship. They were piloting Border World Transports... This seems as all their invisible "God" has given them... They talk on and on about "cleansing sins" and also talk of requiring 1,000,000 credits for doing so... A BHG-Core even succombed to this scheme... I repeadtedly told them not to fire within our NFZ, as even simple lasers can damage our station. Yet they continue...

Thank you for your timely response. My job isn't shooting, but it does often involve figuring out how to not get shot at, so I appreciate your efficiency.

Greetings Zoners,
I was somewhat against my will forced to protect a Core ship from Order ships nearby Daboru station, but as soon as it got destroyed, I seeked refuge by the Freeport 11, thinking they would have enough courtesy to disengage and let me be.
Sadly, they kept on opening fire, claiming that the Zoners won't care about the LSF, but that they will listen to their Order friends.

Dear Ms. Jane Moriarty,
I have recivied your report and will bring attention to this evidence to the Council of Zoners. These Order folks may have well been out of line. Keep in mind, if you are attempting to flee to our Freeports from hostile fire, we humbly request that you dock immediately so that you can mitigate any fire upon our station, as well as end the attack. At this point, we request you to stay for 4 hours or so to take care of yourself, your ship, and to cool down.

Hello fellow council members,
during my patrol in Omicron 74 i met a troublemaker near Freeport 15. He's been so foolish to engage me with no reason and with no warning. This resulted in destruction of his ship. I think he's been infected by the so called lolwutism.
We should keep an eye on this vessel and vessels tagged similar. If he keeps with that behaviour, we should add him to the Zoners hostile list.
