Having finally finished my additional courses planetside I was assigned an escort task for our freighter [designation: =CR=ISE-Pleiades]. Through and past Liberty the journey was luckily uneventful, but we were stopped almost immediately when entering Rheinland space by the local military forces. The officers ordered us to halt the engines and explain our presence, followed by an order to leave their house space. We complied to their demands - they escorted us out up to the middle of the Hudson system. It seems that our interpretation of the Rheinlander law was wrong, but fortunately the President of the Police Central Office, Mister Hans Wagner was available to spare us a few minutes and explain the issue, along with clearing up how the regulations are interpreted from an official standpoint. I informed that I will be relaying this information to Command as a member of the Fleet.
After that we were forced to take a dangerous detour, but finally reached out destination, the Omicron Delta system. I parted ways with Captain Leah Syverson towards Freeport 11 for emergency maintenance since my ship's reactor started to act in an alarming way. I will be staying AWOL in these parts until my craft is back to operational status.

[12.08.2021 21:35:27] =CR=Bodhran: I haven't been around lately, what's the current political situation?
[12.08.2021 21:35:48] =CR=Bodhran: High Command insisted for additional courses for some reason, I've been stuck planetside for months.
[12.08.2021 21:35:56] =CR=Bodhran: Glad to be back in space.
[12.08.2021 21:36:18] =CR=ISE-Pleiades: aux is a kthorn in our side
[12.08.2021 21:36:26] =CR=Bodhran: Nihil novi, then.
[12.08.2021 21:36:33] =CR=ISE-Pleiades: outcasts are still there
[12.08.2021 21:36:41] Target ship has no free docking capacity
[12.08.2021 21:36:49] =CR=ISE-Pleiades: war with kusari is over
[12.08.2021 21:37:27] =CR=ISE-Pleiades: we are rebuilding the hades strike group and uhh-
[12.08.2021 21:37:30] =CR=Bodhran: That's nice. How's the friction in Cortez been?
[12.08.2021 21:37:39] =CR=ISE-Pleiades: oh, good day navy ship... again
[12.08.2021 21:38:25] =CR=Bodhran: Do mind I'm not outfitted for escorts, missing a disruptor. Just in case.
[12.08.2021 21:38:26] =CR=ISE-Pleiades: cortez has been quite overall for us. Our focus is mostly on other things
[12.08.2021 21:39:13] =CR=ISE-Pleiades: don't worry too much, this route is quiet
[12.08.2021 21:39:21] =CR=Bodhran: Don't jinx it.
[12.08.2021 21:39:31] =CR=Bodhran: I did see nomad scouts recently.
[12.08.2021 21:39:42] =CR=Bodhran: Which is... odd.
[12.08.2021 21:40:10] =CR=ISE-Pleiades: we'll be house space for a while
[12.08.2021 21:40:13] =CR=Bodhran: The Other ones, not the, eh, locals so to speak.
[12.08.2021 21:40:57] =CR=ISE-Pleiades: also, we a developing a new ship

[12.08.2021 21:41:27] =CR=Bodhran: And what about the ship?
[12.08.2021 21:41:35] =CR=ISE-Pleiades: it is a co-op with our best shipbuilders and libirty enginiering
[12.08.2021 21:41:45] =CR=ISE-Pleiades: you can just stay with me
[12.08.2021 21:41:46] =CR=Bodhran: I hope it will be worth such price.
[12.08.2021 21:42:24] =CR=Bodhran: Copy, will stay glued up.
[12.08.2021 21:42:30] =CR=ISE-Pleiades: just between us, they're the ones paying for it
[12.08.2021 21:42:44] =CR=Bodhran: There's a different price in the play, then.
[12.08.2021 21:42:56] =CR=ISE-Pleiades: so we can make our own later
[12.08.2021 21:43:16] =CR=Bodhran: It's still Liberty. I wonder what out part of the bargain is.
[12.08.2021 21:43:18] =CR=ISE-Pleiades: we wanted it
[12.08.2021 21:43:30] =CR=ISE-Pleiades: they wanted it
[12.08.2021 21:43:53] =CR=Bodhran: I hope it is as simple as you portray it to be.
[12.08.2021 21:43:57] =CR=ISE-Pleiades: we build it, they pay... not must to say for now
[12.08.2021 21:44:10] =CR=ISE-Pleiades: I hope so too
[12.08.2021 21:44:19] =CR=ISE-Pleiades: hate their prying eyes
[12.08.2021 21:54:01] RM|Rosen..: Cut your engine. !
[12.08.2021 21:54:20] Isbrjotur': Guten Tag Crayters.
[12.08.2021 21:54:22] RM|Rosen..: Guten tag .
[12.08.2021 21:54:23] =CR=Bodhran: This is Ensign Drummond speaking. We're halted.
[12.08.2021 21:54:39] Isbrjotur': Explain your presence in Rheinland.
[12.08.2021 21:54:54] =CR=ISE-Pleiades: moving through with cargo
[12.08.2021 21:55:02] =CR=ISE-Pleiades: we don't pllan on staying long
[12.08.2021 21:55:03] RM|Emily.Moor: Guten Tag.
[12.08.2021 21:55:07] Isbrjotur': Do you have a permit to enter Rheinland space?
[12.08.2021 21:55:11] =CR=Bodhran: Good day.
[12.08.2021 21:55:30] =CR=ISE-Pleiades: haven't heard we needed one
[12.08.2021 21:55:44] Isbrjotur': Another funny fella it seems.
[12.08.2021 21:55:46] =CR=Bodhran: We've been taking this route for months now, is there any issue?
[12.08.2021 21:55:59] =CR=Bodhran: I thought our governments made appropriate agreements for passage.
[12.08.2021 21:56:11] Isbrjotur': Your pressence in Rheinland is not permitted.
[12.08.2021 21:56:22] Isbrjotur': Unless it has been approved by the government of Rheinland.
[12.08.2021 21:56:40] =CR=ISE-Pleiades: we have been in talks with your government
[12.08.2021 21:56:58] Isbrjotur': And if you have been told to stay out of Rheinland.
[12.08.2021 21:57:03] Isbrjotur': And yet you are here.
[12.08.2021 21:57:10] =CR=ISE-Pleiades: we have not
[12.08.2021 21:57:26] =CR=ISE-Pleiades: is there a way we can have passage?
[12.08.2021 21:57:30] Isbrjotur': Nein.
[12.08.2021 21:57:32] RM|Rosen..: Where are you going ?
[12.08.2021 21:57:43] =CR=ISE-Pleiades: deep into omicrons
[12.08.2021 21:58:03] Isbrjotur': Leave towards Hudson and do not enter Rheinland until the Government of House Rheinland gives you a permission to do so.
[12.08.2021 21:58:05] =CR=ISE-Pleiades: we will obey all reinlland laws
[12.08.2021 21:58:11] RM|Emily.Moor: Well, I'm sure you can find another way.
[12.08.2021 21:58:16] Dellingr|Aoi: MND Unit "Dellingr" on scene. Status?
[12.08.2021 21:58:37] RM|Emily.Moor: Two Crayter vessels have found themselves in Rheinland space.
[12.08.2021 21:58:48] RM|Emily.Moor: They will be leaving through Hudson.
[12.08.2021 21:58:49] Isbrjotur': Just Crayterians playing oblivious - not being able to read the laws of Rheinland.
[12.08.2021 21:59:01] Dellingr|Aoi: Understood. Then I assume we can begin escorting them.
[12.08.2021 21:59:19] Isbrjotur': Crayterian vessel Pleiades set course to Carrier Soltau.
[12.08.2021 21:59:27] =CR=Bodhran: After you, Pleiades.
[12.08.2021 21:59:42] =CR=ISE-Pleiades: we are going
[12.08.2021 22:00:34] RM|Emily.Moor: Please continue to the Hudson Gate.
[12.08.2021 22:00:36] Isbrjotur': Now to the Hudson Jump Gate.
[12.08.2021 22:01:23] RM|Rosen..: Take the Gate.
[12.08.2021 22:01:55] Dellingr|Aoi: Was that not clear enough?
[12.08.2021 22:02:06] RM|Emily.Moor: Continue into the Hudson system.
[12.08.2021 22:02:07] =CR=ISE-Pleiades: pease stand by, looking through reinland laws now
[12.08.2021 22:02:12] =CR=Bodhran: I'm glued to the transport, gentlemen.
[12.08.2021 22:02:20] RM|Rosen..: We are the law.
[12.08.2021 22:02:20] RM|Emily.Moor: Do you think we don't know our own laws?
[12.08.2021 22:02:43] =CR=Bodhran: Pleiades, let's just go. We can get this straight later.
[12.08.2021 22:02:47] Dellingr|Aoi: *Stares at the datapad with the laws*
[12.08.2021 22:02:49] RP-PPCO-Hans.Wagner: Guten tag, Please hold
[12.08.2021 22:03:00] =CR=Bodhran: Good day.
[12.08.2021 22:03:01] RP-PPCO-Hans.Wagner: This is the President of the Police Central Office Hans Wagner
[12.08.2021 22:03:01] RM|Emily.Moor: We have this under control.
[12.08.2021 22:03:11] Dellingr|Aoi: We have this under control, police unit.
[12.08.2021 22:03:35] RM|Rosen..: This is a Military operation.
[12.08.2021 22:03:36] =CR=Bodhran: Ensign Drummond speaking, Crayter First Fleet.
[12.08.2021 22:03:39] RP-PPCO-Hans.Wagner: Appears this is a traffic matter in Rheinland house space Herr Dellinrg
[12.08.2021 22:03:49] RP-PPCO-Hans.Wagner: In other words my jurisdiction
[12.08.2021 22:04:00] =CR=ISE-Pleiades: oh well, we will go
[12.08.2021 22:04:04] Dellingr|Aoi: Good.
[12.08.2021 22:04:47] Isbrjotur': Take the Trade Lane to Cold Bay Depot.
[12.08.2021 22:04:59] Isbrjotur': I suggest not entering Rheinland space until the government has given you access.
[12.08.2021 22:06:15] RM|Emily.Moor: Continue towards the Texas gate. Safe Travels.
[12.08.2021 22:06:16] Isbrjotur': I appreciate your cooperation Crayterians.
[12.08.2021 22:06:43] =CR=Bodhran: Well.
[12.08.2021 22:06:44] =CR=ISE-Pleiades: we are no out of reinland space
[12.08.2021 22:07:05] =CR=Bodhran: I'd say Hudson is a border world, no?
[12.08.2021 22:07:13] =CR=Bodhran: Is there a detour we could take?
[12.08.2021 22:07:40] =CR=Bodhran: You might want to speak to the Police President there.
[12.08.2021 22:07:59] =CR=Bodhran: :: incoming transmission :: [Y/N]
[12.08.2021 22:08:17] RP-PPCO-Hans.Wagner: :::[Y]:::
[12.08.2021 22:08:46] =CR=Bodhran: :: Herr Wagner, could you spare us a few minutes at the Hudson Gate? We would appreciate clearing the issue up. ::
[12.08.2021 22:08:58] RP-PPCO-Hans.Wagner: No problem
[12.08.2021 22:11:43] RP-PPCO-Hans.Wagner: Well not
[12.08.2021 22:11:46] RP-PPCO-Hans.Wagner: what seems to be the issue
[12.08.2021 22:11:49] =CR=Bodhran: Drummond: Thank you for sparing your time, Herr President.
[12.08.2021 22:12:23] =CR=Bodhran: I would like to inquiry about this encounter now, if you don't mind. I can relay later to High Command as a member of the Fleet
[12.08.2021 22:12:37] RP-PPCO-Hans.Wagner: Of course
[12.08.2021 22:12:55] FonkyFesh: RP vessel this is LN patrolled space state your business
[12.08.2021 22:13:00] =CR=Bodhran: First off, is it the Military's jurisdiction to intercept convoys in RN space?
[12.08.2021 22:13:18] =CR=ISE-Pleiades: sorry, we asked him out here
[12.08.2021 22:13:36] RP-PPCO-Hans.Wagner: That is correct Ja, personally I would call a transport our matter, but they have the right
[12.08.2021 22:13:36] =CR=Bodhran: Just a meeting over some dispute, nothing to be concerned about, Officer.
[12.08.2021 22:13:41] =CR=ISE-Pleiades: we had questions for him about laws in reinland. we just got kicked out by others
[12.08.2021 22:13:57] FonkyFesh: don't get into trouble
[12.08.2021 22:14:05] RP-PPCO-Hans.Wagner: Right now you were in Violation of law paragraph 4.4.1
[12.08.2021 22:14:27] =CR=Bodhran: Could you please state the law for me? I don't have my NN connection for escort trips.
[12.08.2021 22:15:18] RP-PPCO-Hans.Wagner: Law 4.4 states that all military agency spacecraft of any size are banned from Rheinland
[12.08.2021 22:15:37] RP-PPCO-Hans.Wagner: And Crayter is listed in paragraph 4.4.1 as a military agency
[12.08.2021 22:15:50] RP-PPCO-Hans.Wagner: Our law does not differentiate between trade and combat vessels I am afraid
[12.08.2021 22:15:58] =CR=Bodhran: Thank you, I see.
[12.08.2021 22:16:01] =CR=ISE-Pleiades: is there a way for you to allow fighter escorts?
[12.08.2021 22:16:11] RP-PPCO-Hans.Wagner: you missunderstand
[12.08.2021 22:16:19] RP-PPCO-Hans.Wagner: Yout trade vessel is not allowed either
[12.08.2021 22:16:38] RP-PPCO-Hans.Wagner: Thre is paragraph 4.4.3 that allows for potential trade partners access along with escorts
[12.08.2021 22:16:44] RP-PPCO-Hans.Wagner: but you are currently not listed
[12.08.2021 22:16:57] =CR=Bodhran: Thank you for your time and consideration, I think the issue is clear now. Apologies for the misunderstanding, too.
[12.08.2021 22:17:08] RP-PPCO-Hans.Wagner: You need to contact
[12.08.2021 22:17:11] =CR=Bodhran: I will relay your interpretation of the local law to High Command, just for the record.
[12.08.2021 22:17:12] =CR=ISE-Pleiades: I see, so no vessal with Crayter may not enter. until we make a deal between our geoverments
[12.08.2021 22:17:16] RP-PPCO-Hans.Wagner: The Ministry of Defence
[12.08.2021 22:17:20] RP-PPCO-Hans.Wagner: Correct
[12.08.2021 22:17:25] RP-PPCO-Hans.Wagner: Ministry of Defence in particular
[12.08.2021 22:17:36] RP-PPCO-Hans.Wagner: Their permission will be enough
[12.08.2021 22:17:48] RM|Emily.Moor: Officer Wagner, What are you doing here?
[12.08.2021 22:18:09] RP-PPCO-Hans.Wagner: And they are who you should contact, and include High command members of Rheinland's Official Law enforcement agencies
[12.08.2021 22:18:19] RP-PPCO-Hans.Wagner: To increase your chances
[12.08.2021 22:18:22] =CR=ISE-Pleiades: very well. we will move this up the chain and maybe, maybe we can make talks
[12.08.2021 22:18:27] =CR=Bodhran: Herr Wagner was explaining your attitude and decision to us, which I appreciate.
[12.08.2021 22:18:36] RP-PPCO-Hans.Wagner: Cite request to be included in paragraph 4.4.3
[12.08.2021 22:18:43] =CR=Bodhran: We will be on our way now. Sorry for the misunderstanding again.
[12.08.2021 22:18:46] RM|Emily.Moor: Hm. Fair enough.
[12.08.2021 22:18:53] RP-PPCO-Hans.Wagner: And please refrain from entering Rheinland space before this is cleared up
[12.08.2021 22:18:58] RP-PPCO-Hans.Wagner: Thank you for your time.
[12.08.2021 22:19:02] =CR=Bodhran: Understood.
[12.08.2021 22:19:07] RM|Emily.Moor: Good day.
[12.08.2021 22:19:13] =CR=ISE-Pleiades: but uhhhh, your men need train on how to talk to people
[12.08.2021 22:19:23] =CR=Bodhran: I didn't say that.
[12.08.2021 22:19:27] RP-PPCO-Hans.Wagner: The Police is trained on dealing with Trade pilots
[12.08.2021 22:19:36] =CR=ISE-Pleiades: not military
[12.08.2021 22:19:37] RP-PPCO-Hans.Wagner: Military's skills often lie elsewhere.
[12.08.2021 22:20:04] =CR=Bodhran: So. Detour?
[12.08.2021 22:20:18] =CR=ISE-Pleiades: yes, I have a course set already
[12.08.2021 22:20:26] =CR=Bodhran: Alright.
[12.08.2021 22:21:38] CONSOLE: Possible cheating detected: RM|Rosen..
[12.08.2021 22:22:07] =CR=ISE-Pleiades: dam, libirty laws keep us out of virgina as well
[12.08.2021 22:23:19] =CR=ISE-Pleiades: may just talk with libirty to go through virginia
[12.08.2021 22:23:33] =CR=Bodhran: I think they're more prone to agree on escorted passage
[12.08.2021 22:37:56] =CR=Bodhran: Parting for emergency repairs to Eleven, the reactor's whirring funny. Best of luck Pleiades.
[12.08.2021 22:38:04] =CR=ISE-Pleiades: good luck
[12.08.2021 22:38:30] 2021-08-12 22:38:30 SMT Traffic control alert: =CR=ISE-Pleiades has requested to dock
To summarize: We were informed that no Crayter vessels are allowed in Rheinland House Space, without regard to their type, assignment or armament status - unless an exemption could be agreed on through official government communication channels.
