Liberty Rules

[Malaclypse 666]

Comm ID: Malaclypse.

I noticed the report of the valiant SA officer Mc'ely in the Liberty dump.

Sophie Noir was indeed carrying contraband in Liberty. Her own personal Holy Tome, the Principia Discordia.

That's one each (1ea, count 'em) unit of counterfeit software.

Now, it took six ships to waylay and threaten one Whale, carrying exactly one unit of contraband, and 4694 innocent passengers. Now, I believe one of the six was SA, two were LSF, one or two were bounty hunters, and there was one real ugly dude, callsign "Viking", in a liberty cruiser, with his big snout not 500 meters from Sophie.

Sophie agreed to drop her personal bible after noticing that this un-tagged vigilante, the Viking, also seemed to have contraband aboard in the form of two Unioner pilots. She agreed to drop the software and pay the one million fine if the Viking dropped his contraband as well. He eventually complied, and all was sweet and light.

Yeah, right. The issues?

Six lawfuls harrassing one whale, with one piece of software. She was fired upon several times in the process;

This was occurring while there were system reports of pirates massing in California, yet these six ships needed to keep Liberty safe from one religious book.. what hypocrisy. Not to mention religious persecution;

An un-tagged cruiser, the Viking, along with other BH capships, assisting the courageous lawfuls of Liberty. I thought something was gonna be done about that..?;

This supposedly "approved" vigilante, the Viking, was carrying contraband every bit as illegal as the single piece of software Sophie was carrying as part of her Discordian religion. Is that a double standard, or what..;

And finally, one million credit fine for a minor infraction. As Jinx pointed out.. this is outrageous.

I pity the new individual who has to be subjected to this overkill. What kind of impression does this make?

Think about it.
