COMM ID:Admiral Alan Polstari TARGET ID:Liberty Navy Reporting Center SUBJECT:Reactivation ENCRYPTION:Medium PRIORITY:Medium
Greetings.
Per the request of Fleet Admiral Jones I have reactivated my commission with the Liberty First Fleet.
I also undertook my first combat patrol today, where I had several encounters.
A freelancer with the transponder Glenmore was found hauling unlicensed Nuclear Devices. The captain ignored my commands and docked anyway. I'll be filing the appropriate paperwork on the matter shortly.
I also had my first combat engagement as well against an Outcast. I inflicted much damage upon his vessel, but he landed under fire at Rochester. I will have to see if the Junker's Congress reporting channel is worthwhile or still as vacuous as I remember it.
Finally, I came upon a smarmy smuggler operating the vessel THP|Fortune's.Fancy hauling contraband Artifacts. The captain, one Anton Naiose Tordai, refused to obey a lawful order to halt and dump his cargo. Mister Tordai dissembled, bloviated, and otherwise talked much while saying nothing, attempted to bribe me before he ignored my lawful command to void his cargo hold and docked with Rochester. I suspect based upon his speech that he has done such things repeatedly before and that he cares nothing for the Law of Liberty. The appropriate legal motions regarding his actions are already underway. Comms logs appended below as well as visuals.

[23.07.2017 00:39:17] THP|Fortune's.Fancy: Anton: What for?
[23.07.2017 00:39:28] [LN]-Alan.Polstari: For it's entirely illegal nature.
[23.07.2017 00:39:55] THP|Fortune's.Fancy: Anton: This entire a collection of curios and mementos, that is all.
[23.07.2017 00:40:10] [LN]-Alan.Polstari: All illegal? Yes, yes it is.
[23.07.2017 00:40:18] THP|Fortune's.Fancy: Anton: Keepsakes from my travels through Sirius.
[23.07.2017 00:40:26] [LN]-Alan.Polstari: Uh-huh.
[23.07.2017 00:40:33] THP|Fortune's.Fancy: Anton: Define "legality".
[23.07.2017 00:40:46] [LN]-Alan.Polstari: The long and short of it is that we have laws. You're flouting those laws now.
[23.07.2017 00:41:09] [LN]-Alan.Polstari: You can either obey a lawful command and be legal, or you can disobey, and not be.
[23.07.2017 00:41:17] THP|Fortune's.Fancy: Anton: I have always found that red tape and buracuracy get in the way of the more pleasurable things in life.
[23.07.2017 00:41:25] THP|Fortune's.Fancy: Anton: How about this.
[23.07.2017 00:41:37] [LN]-Alan.Polstari: Yes, well, I am the master of the red tape, and I will make your life a red tape hell.
[23.07.2017 00:41:59] THP|Fortune's.Fancy: Anton: How much of an "persuasion" would it take you to see it my way.
[23.07.2017 00:42:13] THP|Fortune's.Fancy: Anton: I am a generous man!
[23.07.2017 00:42:17] [LN]-Alan.Polstari: Oh, oh, how pedestrian.
[23.07.2017 00:42:35] [LN]-Alan.Polstari: And of course this donation shall cause me to not be here, yes?
[23.07.2017 00:42:42] THP|Fortune's.Fancy: Anton: And I suspect the usual military pension is not that much these days no?
[23.07.2017 00:42:49] THP|Fortune's.Fancy: Anton: In a way.
[23.07.2017 00:43:07] [LN]-Alan.Polstari: I shall enjoy prosecuting this one.
[23.07.2017 00:43:30] THP|Fortune's.Fancy: Anton: You take pleasure in the pain of others don't you *Sighs*.
[23.07.2017 00:43:38] [LN]-Alan.Polstari: As it stand you have illegal cargo, failing to obey a lawful order to halt, and attempting to bribe a military officer.
[23.07.2017 00:43:49] THP|Fortune's.Fancy: Anton: A fair list.
[23.07.2017 00:44:00] THP|Fortune's.Fancy: Anton: The usual from these types of encounters.
[23.07.2017 00:44:01] [LN]-Alan.Polstari: You don't want to pile onto that.
[23.07.2017 00:44:26] THP|Fortune's.Fancy: Anton: How about this.
[23.07.2017 00:44:27] [LN]-Alan.Polstari: Now, do you intend to comply with the lawful order and make restitution now or not?
[23.07.2017 00:44:46] THP|Fortune's.Fancy: Anton: How much "Restitution" are we talking about here?
[23.07.2017 00:45:02] [LN]-Alan.Polstari: The entirety of your hold and two million for the attempted bribery.
[23.07.2017 00:45:22] THP|Fortune's.Fancy: Anton: That seems a tad lienent does it not?
[23.07.2017 00:45:42] THP|Fortune's.Fancy: Anton: 2 million credits?
[23.07.2017 00:46:04] [LN]-Alan.Polstari: Well, I suppose you'd like to pay more?
[23.07.2017 00:46:06] THP|Fortune's.Fancy: Anton: How much do you earn annually in the LN?
[23.07.2017 00:46:13] [LN]-Alan.Polstari: Either way, you drop the cargo.

[23.07.2017 00:47:17] THP|Fortune's.Fancy: Anton: There you go, go out and celebrate with a good looking lass.
[23.07.2017 00:47:28] THP|Fortune's.Fancy: Anton: Can I make one last request?
[23.07.2017 00:47:41] [LN]-Alan.Polstari: You can say what you want within the bounds of the law.

Please note that I will be following up on any and all reported acts of unlawfulness. Provide the proper evidence and I will see to it that justice is executed, even if the perpetrator eludes your grasp in space. While the faces may have changed though the mission remains the same. I look forward to working with all of you in the future.
