Subject: Rheinland encounter in Texas
Encryption: HIGH
Priority: HIGH
I have an urgent transmission for LPI high command. I have just come off from what I thought would be a routine patrol in the Texas system. I was flying Fighter #1 of the Raven's Talon Wing along with Mizushima who was in his Raven's Talon. We were joined by an independent law keeper Gemma Gray and soon after that one of LSF's pilots, Virgo. We were escorting =LSF= Virgo to LPI Sugarland, just within orbit of Planet Brazos. Sugarland received an unknown transmission from a pilot requesting asylum. Due to LSF demanding that sensitive information remain confidential I am not able to state his name, but I have a recording of his transmissions to Sugarland. Hang on, let me play it back.
****Buzzing of transmission signals****
"Sugarland! Sugarland, this is Rheinland military Major *censoring beep*!!! I request asylum!"
I'll let the transmission play on a bit more.
****Buzzing of transmission signals crackles again****
This is LSF Agent Virgo, Proceed to Sugarland.
Sugarland!! I am under attack!! Request assistance!!
This is SWAT squadron leader Rokuro Mizushima.
Sector F6. I am 16 klicks out!!
We are en route to your position.
LPI station. I am under attack! Repeat under attack. Please send assistance! Mayday!
The LSF pilot accompanied by the LPI SWAT wing and the independent lawkeeper left Sugarland in search of this unknown Rheinland Major.
When we approached our scanners picked up that our subject was being tailed by four Rheinland Military officers. I am unable to provide their names as LSF has again deemed that information sensitive. After some negotiation, it was clear that the Rheinland Military were not going to cease fire on the subject, and we moved in to assist.
The Rheinlanders had been chasing this target for quite some time, and were low on power and physically exhausted, this gave us the upperhand. After the better part of an hour fighting, 3 of their pilots were down and one pilot decided to retreat toward the debris field. I was able to disrupt his cruise engines and keep him locked down. He decided to surrender and begged us to hold fire. We listened to his story, which I am afraid I am unable to repeat on this transmission. He claimed that he had tractored the other three Rheinland pilots and that his cargo scan shows that their life signs are stable. The LSF Agent Virgo called in the =LSF= Langley. In the mean time we had kept the Rheinland pilot locked down and the mysterious Rheinland Major was forced to remain in close formation. When the Langley arrived they were forced to dock and arrested. At this point the situation was taken out of LPI hands, the LSF took the two pilots and the 3 escape pods off to Alaska for questioning.
Perhaps you can communicate with LSF if you desire to learn more of the situation, but I fear I may have said too much and I have tried to only transmit information that is not confidential.
I am returning to base now, my patrol is complete, I was not expecting so much excitement. I have been transferred to New York for routine patrols and scans there.
Recruit Zeeroi Talbot, out.
