This incident occurred near the Freeport in Omega 3. However much you or I might not like it, the neutrality of the Freeports is to be respected. By all means, defend yourself. But I don't care if a Corsair is eating an entire Luxury Liner full of nuns - avoid actions like this in future.

The Zoners police their bases. You are not employed to do either their work or the work of the Bretonian Admiralty for free. We are not a charitable institution. We are a business.

Even though I wasn't being paid to take him out, I couldn't just sit there - especially since those were Bretonian transports being attacked.

Correct. You were outside your jurisdiction, taking on a Corsair M26 by yourself. Have you been at the SynthWeed? This Agency can ill-afford to throw away expensive vessels on your vigilantism.

Operative, you show true potential. Actions like this should be the last of your mistakes. I suggest you consult the Handbook again to refresh yourself on our policies.

It might interest you to know that while you are getting long, relaxing foot massages in the Freeports, Agent Alpha was protecting himself (minus his wingman) from the dubious attentions of a Harvester ship in the borderworlds of Rheinland.

When you're done rubbing lavender oil on your toes you might liase with him at Rostock.
