Guten Abend Officers,
during my routine visit to Hudson i have encountered Admiral van Leer of The First Armada - Liberty Navy.
Van Leer raised the issue of an apparently outdated part of the Rheinland-Liberty Peace Treaty - specifically Chapter III Article 5. Atka's Liberty zone is deeply imbedded in Rheinland's territory, yet cannot be reached by Liberty forces without breaching the treaty. I assured Admiral van Leer i'd forward this to the Oberkommando, which happened earlier already.
[09.11.2022 15:06:40] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: CO: Good day
[09.11.2022 15:06:54] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: CO: Esteemed...Scrap metal hauler?
[09.11.2022 15:06:57] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Oh - guten Tag there, Navy. *She sounds mildy suprised, yet friendly.*
[09.11.2022 15:07:20] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: *A light chuckle follows.* Ahaha... no, that has other reasons. Oberleutnant Traudel Habermeyer, Rheinwehr. Delighted.
[09.11.2022 15:07:46] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Admiral Van Leer, at your service - I was merely commenting on your cargohold
[09.11.2022 15:08:04] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: It's not every day you see a Military vessel with Scrap Metal *laughs*
[09.11.2022 15:08:28] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: What does Oberlautnant mean if you will pardon my ignorance
[09.11.2022 15:08:40] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Ah, Admiral? Well - sir. *Despite different Houses, respect is shown.* I do admit, it is not the most usual sight to behold.
[09.11.2022 15:09:13] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Call it a personal matter of sating curiosity on the off chance i run into someone again...
[09.11.2022 15:10:28] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Well is Oberlautnant - I will not even guess, what sort of Rank is that?
[09.11.2022 15:12:03] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: You may translate it as ... 'upper lieutenant', i believe. I'm nowhere near High Command, sir. Leading smaller wings for
[09.11.2022 15:12:09] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: patrols or do them on my own, mainly.
[09.11.2022 15:12:21] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: I see! What brings you to Hudson today
[09.11.2022 15:12:53] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Exactly that - patrols. And prior ... dealings in this regard. I had two instances of smugglers managing to escape me here,
[09.11.2022 15:13:04] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: unfortunately. Sitka over there holds a lot of mystery...
[09.11.2022 15:13:22] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: I see - I have come to investigate the legal matters of the system
[09.11.2022 15:13:41] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: There have been known instances of Xeno activity here we have been dealing with
[09.11.2022 15:13:51] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Now there are the issues of legality of the system
[09.11.2022 15:13:58] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Are you familiar with the matter?
[09.11.2022 15:14:28] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: This ... sounds somewhat bigger than artifact hauling smugglers. One was a Rogue, to be expected. The other, less so. Crayter,
[09.11.2022 15:14:45] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: if you believe it. But ah... nein, please. Elaborate this for me properly, my current understanding is it is ... well. Indepent
[09.11.2022 15:14:48] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Oh yes, I have read the reports of the incident
[09.11.2022 15:14:49] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: -ent space.
[09.11.2022 15:15:09] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: One of ours has pursued a Rogue Frigate with contraband on board to an unknown jump hole
[09.11.2022 15:15:27] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: It turned out to be Rheinland I believe - the Rogue was taken down, but we had questions to answer
[09.11.2022 15:15:35] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: All logs were purged when our Gunboat came back
[09.11.2022 15:15:48] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Perhaps you have run into one of the Smuggling Frigates
[09.11.2022 15:15:54] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: ... ... that ... ... happened. Right. It was earlier, way earler than that Rogue i chased.
[09.11.2022 15:15:58] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Was a Rhino Freighter.
[09.11.2022 15:16:12] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: I see, they are downgrading it would seem. I am glad we have not caused an incident
[09.11.2022 15:16:38] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: It is our Modus Operandi to not let criminal activity unpunished, we enjoy the front lines of duty so to speak
[09.11.2022 15:16:52] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: And good day Bounty Hunter, it's good to know some of you are doing their job here *sighs*
[09.11.2022 15:16:55] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: I am not at liberty to discuss the jump hole matter i am afraid, sir. So nein, no bigger waves from my limited point of view
[09.11.2022 15:16:56] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: at least.
[09.11.2022 15:17:02] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Ah, Hunter. Guten Tag.
[09.11.2022 15:17:24] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Well, our gunboat's logs and sensors were completely purged, I assume it got somewhere you didn't want it to go *laughs*
[09.11.2022 15:17:39] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Believe me, I know the feeling, we may or may not have places like that in Liberty
[09.11.2022 15:18:00] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: That ... may very well be the case, quite so indeed. I suppose there might potentially be something similar in Lib-... ah, ja.
[09.11.2022 15:18:16] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Officially, of course not, we are all transparent *laughs*
[09.11.2022 15:18:53] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Well yes now to the legal matter that brings us here
[09.11.2022 15:19:04] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Just rumors, just rumors. Certainly. *Amused.* Now ... ah. The legality of this system i believe you called it, sir?
[09.11.2022 15:19:07] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Are you aware of the Treaty of 823 between Rheinland and Liberty?
[09.11.2022 15:19:48] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Goodness me, refresh my memory please, sir. I would have to look up the details otherwise.
[09.11.2022 15:20:17] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: It was the peace treaty after the unfortunate conflict that revolved around this system, New Hampshire and so forth
[09.11.2022 15:20:42] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: That brought peace to our houses. It all worked out but now with the shifts in the system seems to need amending
[09.11.2022 15:20:56] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: You may want to look it up and see for yourself
[09.11.2022 15:21:32] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Mhhhm, ja. One of many unfortunate wars. *Clears her throat.* Life is ever changing, isn't it? I was, depending on ones view-
[09.11.2022 15:21:57] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: point fortunate or unfortunate enough to have been stuck on an Oder far out on a recon campaign. We rejoined late, near the end
[09.11.2022 15:22:57] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Well, that is long history. What the issue is now is the outated charting and separation of the system within the treaty
[09.11.2022 15:23:34] IC.Willert: Greetings
[09.11.2022 15:23:39] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: CO: Good day
[09.11.2022 15:23:42] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Mhhhm, understandable. Th-... guten tag there.
[09.11.2022 15:23:54] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Well if you look at the treaty you will find our issue with it *smiles*
[09.11.2022 15:25:19] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: The treaty states that the system is to be divided into North-South Sectors
[09.11.2022 15:25:46] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Ah, the specific Hudson entry, ja. There we have it. Chapter three...
[09.11.2022 15:25:50] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Now with the shifts in the system, that leaves Planet Atka and it's 15k Liberty zone deeply in Rheinland territory
[09.11.2022 15:26:39] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: With us technically not being able to legally cross the tradelane to planet that is looking to be terraformed at the cost of
[09.11.2022 15:26:41] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: our taxpayers
[09.11.2022 15:27:02] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: I am assuming you see the awkward legal situation that could arise here.
[09.11.2022 15:27:22] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: This also leaves the Rheinland's Hamburg Jump Gate in a joint zone, rather than Rheinland's
[09.11.2022 15:27:58] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: I ... ... ja, indeed. That is ... well. *Blinking a few times.* An unwanted incident and breach of a treaty, should Liberty
[09.11.2022 15:28:03] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: intend to near the planet.
[09.11.2022 15:28:06] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: In other words, the treaty does not correspond with the shifts in the system and should be dealth with
[09.11.2022 15:28:16] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: So we prevent any incidents.
[09.11.2022 15:28:53] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: I suppose provisionally you could turn a blind eye to the outdated treaty and allow us access to Atka?
[09.11.2022 15:29:18] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: We all know it simply hasn't been brought up to date with the shifts in the system, I'd hate another conflict to arise
[09.11.2022 15:29:27] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: For what it is worth, i wholeheartedly agree, sir. I ... assume Liberty has raised the matter already? Is it ... pending?
[09.11.2022 15:29:42] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: It has not, the government seems preocuppied
[09.11.2022 15:30:19] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Ahm... now. I am a stickler for order, i couldn't simply turn a blind eye. As much as i do understand - it is not my place to
[09.11.2022 15:30:26] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: decide about matters that big.
[09.11.2022 15:30:35] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: It ... has not? That ... ... mhhhm. Unfortunate to say the least.
[09.11.2022 15:31:45] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: I see - well personally The First Armada I represent is busy in Vespucci currently, escapee terrorists and all
[09.11.2022 15:32:03] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Some call them refugees - as if - so we won't have space to deal with the matter.
[09.11.2022 15:32:19] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: It would be helpful if you could initiate the amendments with your government perhaps?
[09.11.2022 15:32:21] ANGEL-09: First Armada? Never heard.
[09.11.2022 15:32:46] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: That is us good sir - Newfly formed strike force that prefers the vanguard of the Liberty Navy
[09.11.2022 15:33:10] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: I will most certainly forward the issue to the Oberkommando and thus it will reach the Governemnt, it's the least i can do.
[09.11.2022 15:33:15] ANGEL-09: I think you should wash your ears. *She sighs*
[09.11.2022 15:33:15] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Reckless we have been called, brave and dutyful I prefer!
[09.11.2022 15:33:59] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Dankeshchone *he stumbles on his tongue trying to emulate Rheinlandish* officer
[09.11.2022 15:34:23] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: All a matter of perspective, as so often. While we are at it, Admiral. Anything particular you wish to add? If not i'll leave
[09.11.2022 15:34:24] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: it at.
[09.11.2022 15:34:49] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Oh - that wasn't half bad. *With a nod.* Danke schoen, indeed.
[09.11.2022 15:35:12] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: We will look into the Rogue matter, I wish the Bounty Hunters would do their job better here :nods head at ANGEL-9:
[09.11.2022 15:35:29] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: Thank you for looking into this! The First Armada is grateful
[09.11.2022 15:35:32] 1st|LNS-Liberty's.Arrow: So long, Rheinlander
[09.11.2022 15:35:48] ANGEL-09: Pff..
[09.11.2022 15:35:49] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Auf Wiedersehen, sir.
Für den Kaiser! Für das Volk! Für Rheinland!
Hochachtungsvoll,
