Guten Tag again, Herr Henderson. I´m glad to hear you already took necessary measures related to change of UEC group status in Rheinland. I agree that Freelancer transponders are tricky and often hacked, but at least existing ships of these terrorists really shouldn´t be seen docking on Freistadt.

Anyway, now to the issue of those two freelancers which attacked in Stuttgart. Hearing you speaking about "taking necessary steps to defend against them", I should probably inform you about punishments so you won´t get into problems with laws yourself.

Pilot of ship John.Titor was sentenced to death. So if you meet him again in Rheinland, feel free to open fire if necessary like on any other criminal. But pilot of the ship Toma.Tajfun was, due to lack of evidence and less seriousness of reported consequences of his actions, sentencend "only" to fine, which was already paid so he is not considered criminal in Rheinland now. For this reason, I should warn you that if you open fire first on this ship, it will be you who will break Rheinland laws. But fire is allowed in case of self-defence or defence of attacked ship of course. Just be sure to keep enough evidence about who started the shooting. That´s my advice for you.

But I hope this situation will not happen. Polizeidirektor Carsten out.

END OF THE MESSAGE
