. My missons have been simple as a modest citizen I still have a great desire to see things for us be better. Do not act in haste to judge my message as a simple insult to any way of our lives. Nor should focused faction elements see it as a direct judgement. I'm speaking on the situation in general.

It has come to my attention recently while being assigned to patrol Malta, that our trade restrictions,well.. they vary. It seems to be in most eyes that anyone willing to carry and smuggle Cardimine is allowed to do so and in some cases its even forced upon them so that safe passage will be granted.

No, I am no fool and yes I realize this is our planet's blood and lifestream but recent events and attention has made me feel like that our planet is the focus of trade for profitt and riches. The addiction level of the drug basically markets itself, so the income is inevitable for anyone who becomes a Cardimine user. (including myself). One of the values of this drug is an INCREASED level of intellegence. Now lets ask ourselves here. Who do we really want to make smart? Naturally you are'nt allowing Corsairs to storm into the system and begin trade, but there are very questionable concerns that flag my sense of our security when a trader is questioned.

Are you fine with the idea that Cryer has basically created our drug and is attempting to remarket it while we are getting our share? Have you ever considered that maybe this product never exsisted and they might be inducing withdrawl components to futher establish thier market? How would they get large quanities of Cardmine to supply thier efforts. Gee.. let me think.We send UNDERCOVER trading units through the doors and they bring it back. You are monitoring the gates but you are not caring where this product is going.

Upon placing tracking devices on certain random cargo vessels you would be quite surprised at just who you are supplying. Zoners (even one driving a battleship), Libertonians, and many other people and corperations we consider enemies,somewhat friends, nuetral but not FRIENDLY. The love our product and our planet is being supplied with income through slavery. SLAVERY. This is considered a VILE mechanic of any party willing to mechanize thier war efforts. I stand by it's introduction to the system of things and find the slaves quite entertaining , but if you are willing to go the distance you should be ready to walk the mile.

I realize not many of you are open to most forms of diplomacy, but you can either run a buisness which allows maximization of profits while minimzing risks or you can also just let people rob us blind and not get our cut and allow corperations and enemies to make profits off our efforts that will be aimed back at us. Which is it? We are considered Pirates and its what we are good at, yet you do not care to allow taxation of the product we distrubute. Its understandable, but even setting aside profit margin there are dangers of always being in bed with your enemies. Some of these connections shouldnt exsist.
