What in the world is going on?

Corsair and related smugglers seem to have gotten some hardcore training or incentives. They rather risk death than reveal who their suppliers are. The latest one has been the TV-Tenerife|MA Artifacts smuggler.

[29.07.2022 10:47:30] 1st|Gold-Texas: Where did you intend on selling these
[29.07.2022 10:47:47] 1st|Gold-Texas: Talk now and the fine will be cut down to two million. Be vague, and it remains as seven!
[29.07.2022 10:47:51] TV-Tenerife|MA: I told you.
[29.07.2022 10:47:57] 1st|Gold-Texas: Which Freeport buys them

[29.07.2022 10:48:21] 1st|Gold-Texas: whatever you thought they were
[29.07.2022 10:48:29] Changing screen mode=windowed
[29.07.2022 10:48:37] Changing screen mode=full
[29.07.2022 10:48:37] TV-Tenerife|MA: If you keep repeating the same thing, won't change the story you know.
[29.07.2022 10:48:41] TV-Tenerife|MA: It's the same.
[29.07.2022 10:48:51] 1st|Gold-Texas: You have decided, that 7 Million is the fine
[29.07.2022 10:49:03] TV-Tenerife|MA: Yeah, definitely pass on that.
[29.07.2022 10:49:08] TV-Tenerife|MA: I'm already at a loss here.
[29.07.2022 10:49:13] 1st|Gold-Texas: You understand the consequences?
[29.07.2022 10:49:24] TV-Tenerife|MA: I don't think you understand.
[29.07.2022 10:50:01] TV-Tenerife|MA: So, what are we going to do?
[29.07.2022 10:50:03] 1st|Gold-Texas: Well, I suppose there is only one solution. Are you ready to get your ship scrapped over this?
[29.07.2022 10:50:16] TV-Tenerife|MA: Damn you. Libertonians.
[29.07.2022 10:50:38] TV-Tenerife|MA: You and your guns.
[29.07.2022 10:52:57] 1st|Gold-Texas: You can still pay Smuggler!
[29.07.2022 10:53:24] Death: TV-Tenerife|MA was put out of action by 1st|Gold-Texas (Gun).

This could be a sign of bigger issues, luckily The First Armada is at the forefront of thwarting these illegal smugglers, we will get to the bottom of this. There must be a reason they are protecting their suppliers this vehemently, willing to fight for them!
