Klugmann?

Yes, he's apparently a prominent ringleader of the Bundschuh. He came all the way here to make contact with us and see what the prospects were of developing an understanding were, in the interests of a campaign to liberate Erie that is.

As an aside, and in the interests of transparency - although you probably noticed the skirmish around your establishment recently. I'm told it was a clash between our forces in the area and the technocracy. A technocrat was pursued to the installation while under warnings to leave, and repeatedly refused to comply. This led to an extended skirmish that saw technocrats jump into the system along with patrol units of our own militia that responded to reports. The ensuing engagement saw ships on both sides disabled until an eventual technocrat withdrawal upon recovering their operative from the system.

The garrison reports minimal disturbance and no damage to the installation itself, having the presence of mind needed to react quickly. But that really is the Circle's only redeeming quality.

Competence.

While I don't expect conflict in close proximity of the Freeport to be a regular occurrence, I've clarified that our forces are to not engage foes that do not qualify as an existential threat to the LFR, at least not if they are discovered as already being within the established NFZ. Pursuits are an obvious exception, and showcase the willingness of certain visitors to use the Freeport as a hu-, hrm, perhaps not a human shield but you get my point.

By existential threats to the LFR, I of course mean Liberty's armed forces but this definition can be expanded to include targets of the non-human variety.

This unprecedented excitement aside, I wouldn't mind an occasional care package of fresh eggs.
