For all you know that was actually a spoopy Wild who wanted your artifacts. Play to the encounter instead of complaining it didn't go the way you wanted. 90% of these encounters would fare better for the interceptee if they played ball.
And in my experience of dealing with undercover officers in real life, they often move to detain before identifying themselves. I've had to explicitly demand they do so, citing regulation. Why was that not an option here? Be more character brained.
The potential for RP developments around this encounter have been squandered because of the option to complain instead. #ProblemsWithDisco
I don't know who you're responding to. My whole complaint was that the BDM was not interested in any RP. He dropped lines, waited to see my reaction and as soon as I did not drop the Relics right away, he opened fire. Your example with the officers inRL does not apply. The BDM could have had a BHG IFF for your example to track. In my (apparently flawed) opinion, the BDM simply did not RP according to the IFF he was flying (" You are ordered to stop and prepare for inspection"). A Freelancer simply does not have the authority to order anyone. As such, my conclusion: IFF simply does not matter. I should have avoided the interaction all togheter.
