Officer Myers,

The only one of us 'Raiding' the planet was Ross Polo. The other three of us were going there to collect the long over-due bribe... umm, Shipping Fee that allowed us to turn a blind eye to the Cardamine whenever it passed into liberty. Wait... I wasn't supposed to mention that on an open channel, Was I?

We only took Mr. Polo along because he could guide us, as he had been there before. When we arrived, We started flying towards Planet Malta in Omicron Alpha, and he suddenly started shooting everything shouting "This is a Raid!!!". Neither Officer SweetTooth, nor I, fired a single shot. I believe the only shots that were fired by Officer Jackson were in self-defence and the defence of Mr. Polo, Who was under heavy fire. Officer SweetTooth and I quickly left the system, Returning to the Freeport in Tau-37 to await the others. Officer Jackson started returning soon after, But Mr. Polo remained in Omicron Alpha, attacking the Outcasts. At one point he even landed on Planet Malta and stole some Cardamine.

While we were waiting at the Freeport, We ran into a couple of Outcasts, Who respected the neutrality of the area and did not fire on us. We spoke to them, and they refused to pay the monthly fee, but we still did not open fire. After Mr. Polo returned, We started heading back to the Jump hole to get out of the system and head back to Liberty space. The outcasts were hot on his heels however and we very narrowly avoided having to eject. The other Officers and I made it through the Jump hole and headed back home, The rest of that trip rather uneventful. I do not know what happened to Mr. Polo after that, As we left the system before he did.

I assure that we meant no harm to anyone by going there, and we simply wanted to collect our fee, But Mr. Polo wanted more. We should never have brought him along, I am sure we could have found our way by ourselves and the assistance of the field manual and a few maps. Then we probably would not have had the problems that we did. If they had refused to pay us, We simply would have left and headed home without shooting everything in sight.

Regards,
Officer Colin James Guy, Liberty Police Inc.
