My friends, the crown is quickly tightening the knot around our throats!

Surely you must be thinking, "but Guy, the crownies have already been on our butts since day one", but this week was a nightmare! The Anotha Day Anotha Haul was intercepted not once, not twice, but THREE separate times! Twice by the dastardly (picture displays incident 1) Captain Archibald of the HMS Naseby, and again by this one Bounty Hunter, "Bessie the Bison". It's true that our ship doesn't have a long history to draw much of a pattern from, but let me assure you, this is most unusual (our track record otherwise was clean) - they make incursions directly into Dublin for this! Unfortunately, I couldn't capture images of the last two incidents, but I do some relevant flight logs attached below...

There seems to have been a considerable increase to the Armed Forces' efforts to block off Dublin from the rest of the sector. Most alarmingly, during one of my trips, I thought I had just evaded that pants-on-head Captain in the New London system - when he and his ship appeared right in the middle of my vector right towards Foyle, in the Dublin system! They're going as far as employing advanced transversal systems such as jump drives to stop our operations! ... To stop a SINGLE Pilgrim Liner, and who knows how many more?!

My friends, this is most troublesome. I am already making inroads to curb the Armed Forces' increased brazen aggression in the Dublin system. To each action, there must be a reaction! The Gold - OUR Gold, that WE'VE earned for OURSELVES - must flow!

See you in space - warm up your neutron batteries!

[22.05.2024 22:38:24] BAF|HMS-Naseby: [After a brief moment of chatter on the bridge, the Naseby's RO is replaced by its CO, allowing for "smoother" talks.]
[22.05.2024 22:39:04] BAF|HMS-Naseby: Archibald: Captain Wigston speaking, Her Majesty's Armed Foces. It appears we've caught you with the pants down and a dirty-

[22.05.2024 22:39:55] BAF|HMS-Naseby: Archibald: You will surrender the mined gold to a transport ship that will arrive at this point within the following minutes.
[22.05.2024 22:40:09] Anotha.Day.Anotha.Haul: You.

[22.05.2024 22:40:34] Anotha.Day.Anotha.Haul: Ya reckon we didn't earn it by this point?!
[22.05.2024 22:40:37] BAF|HMS-Naseby: Archibald: If you comply, we will not damage your ship. If you do not comply, you will meet the same fate all Mollys shall-
[22.05.2024 22:40:42] BAF|HMS-Naseby: -eventually face.
[22.05.2024 22:40:58] Anotha.Day.Anotha.Haul: The hell do ya mean, cap'n?! This is a legitimate operation!
[22.05.2024 22:41:18] Anotha.Day.Anotha.Haul: If ya didn't have yer heads so far up the corps' rectums you'd be able to listen to even the slightest of sense!
[22.05.2024 22:41:28] BAF|HMS-Naseby: Archibald: It is as legitimate as the Molly Republic. You are stealing the rightful Gold of Bretonia.
[22.05.2024 22:41:47] BAF|HMS-Naseby: Archibald: Will you comply, Molly?
[22.05.2024 22:41:49] Anotha.Day.Anotha.Haul: Yea, and you would work us to the bone until we drop dead!
[22.05.2024 22:42:34] Anotha.Day.Anotha.Haul: Cap'n with all due respect, I can't have ya risk the lives of any of my crew!
[22.05.2024 22:42:52] BAF|HMS-Naseby: Archibald: Sir, do understand my position. I am offering you a chance to live another day if you surrender the stolen gold.

[22.05.2024 22:46:46] BAF|HMS-Naseby: Archibald: A mistake? No, sir, there is no mistake. We are merely enforcing the Crown's will.

[22.05.2024 22:49:23] Anotha.Day.Anotha.Haul: Oi! Are you going to answer my question or not?!
[22.05.2024 22:49:31] Anotha.Day.Anotha.Haul: You're playing with the lives of 54 souls here!
