Guten Abend Officers,

while on guard duty in front of planet New Berlin Voigt and me detected a Core cruiser entering the immediate surroundings of our capital.

The vessel in question, an AP-430 "Thresher" - callsign "Core-WV-Tension", came from the Frankfurt system and exited the lane network right in front of us. I ordered it to halt and began questioning the crew. According to the captain the cruiser was freshly manned and en route to Liberty for test runs and training. They were seemingly unaware of House law, thus i lectured them about it and issued the according fine. Unable to pay it in full right then and there they instead paid a fraction - 2.335.357 SC, agreeing and complying with all further steps. The Tension was escorted out the shortest way possible, which was Dresden.

[13.02.2023 01:16:22] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Hold.
[13.02.2023 01:16:39] Core-WV-Tension: ?
[13.02.2023 01:17:08] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Guten Abend Core vessel ... ... may i ask what brings you to Rheinland?
[13.02.2023 01:17:21] Core-WV-Tension: im going to liberty
[13.02.2023 01:17:43] Core-WV-Tension: for test routines and most importantly, crew training
[13.02.2023 01:17:49] Lea.Kaufman: I don't think... the Core would have any business over there...
[13.02.2023 01:17:51] Core-WV-Tension: this vesses was manned recently
[13.02.2023 01:18:20] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Mh-mhm. And the Core did not deem it necessary to inform Rheinland or the Oberkommando of a Cruiser of theirs entering
[13.02.2023 01:18:21] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: our space?
[13.02.2023 01:18:30] Core-WV-Tension: may i retire?
[13.02.2023 01:18:47] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Retire? That is hardly for me to decide.
[13.02.2023 01:19:01] Core-WV-Tension: retire the ship from this system
[13.02.2023 01:19:24] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Ah - that you mean. Well. That has to happen anyway. As you just broke article four of Rheinland law, Core vessel.
[13.02.2023 01:19:38] Core-WV-Tension: oh sorry
[13.02.2023 01:19:41] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Any foreign capital ship is banned from House space unless permission is granted.
[13.02.2023 01:19:44] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Which it was not.
[13.02.2023 01:20:12] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: A 15.000.000 SC fine is to be issued and i have to insist on escorting you out by the shortes way possible.
[13.02.2023 01:20:18] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Which, in our case, will be Dresden.
[13.02.2023 01:20:55] Core-WV-Tension: i dont have all this sirian credits with me sirt
[13.02.2023 01:21:08] Core-WV-Tension: but i dont mean to break your laws also
[13.02.2023 01:21:40] Lea.Kaufman: That's funny to hear.
[13.02.2023 01:21:59] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Unfortunately you have broken them. With missing funds of your own the Core will have to cover this fine instead.
[13.02.2023 01:22:01] 2023-02-13 01:22:01 SMT Traffic control alert: {DHC}Norderstedt has requested to dock
[13.02.2023 01:22:07] [RM]Fl-Frieda.Voigt.: I thought the Core operatives were multi-trillionaires.
[13.02.2023 01:22:14] Core-WV-Tension: and i dont plan on creating hostilities onyour system
[13.02.2023 01:22:44] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: I prefer 'tensions' as the more fitting term. Ironically checks out with your callsign. Now then - with the inability to pay
[13.02.2023 01:22:50] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: the fine right here, we will proceed to Dresden.
[13.02.2023 01:22:59] [RM]Fl-Frieda.Voigt.: Tensions... har har.
[13.02.2023 01:23:10] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: The Core will be informed about this to rectify the pending payment issue.
[13.02.2023 01:23:45] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Ah ... what is this? A deposit?
[13.02.2023 01:23:50] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Very well.
[13.02.2023 01:24:05] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: I will take this as a sign of good will.
[13.02.2023 01:24:16] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: The difference will be handled with the core.
[13.02.2023 01:24:23] Core-WV-Tension: i have good will sir
[13.02.2023 01:24:33] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Now then - follow Voigt to Dresden. I will be right behind you.
[13.02.2023 01:24:38] Lea.Kaufman: She.. isn't a man.
[13.02.2023 01:24:52] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: *Traudel chuckles.* We have bigger problems than that right now. But ja.
[13.02.2023 01:24:53] Core-WV-Tension: sorry Ms
[13.02.2023 01:24:54] [RM]Fl-Frieda.Voigt.: Well, you heard her.
[13.02.2023 01:27:25] Core-WV-Tension: ok officers
[13.02.2023 01:28:17] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Alright - that concludes this escort and the matter. Everything else will be handled by me from here on. The Core will be
[13.02.2023 01:28:29] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: informed within the coming days to take care of the remainder of the fine.
[13.02.2023 01:28:39] Core-WV-Tension: right sir
[13.02.2023 01:28:46] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: You are free to proceed - but do avoid Rheinland space with that cruiser.

Für den Kaiser! Für das Volk! Für Rheinland!

Hochachtungsvoll,
Traudel Habermeyer
Oberleutnant der Kaiserlichen Rheinwehr
