Re: Territorial Infraction

Dear Sir...

Why we don't endorse any smuggling of contraband at all! (//anything else is ooc for non-members) and I am shocked that one of our Congressmen would be so foolish. We are a citizen-soldier organization and unfortunately some of our "citizens" are not as understanding of discipline as others.

Any lawful enforcement of official territory is totally appropriate to us and of course smugglers who are caught--with real evidence as you appear to have provided here--may be dealt with appropriately. I am somewhat surprised the Order is now seeing itself as an extension of Liberty law enforcement but the damage is minimal as this is a private channel of the Congress. I myself would be even more discrete were I to note an Order infraction--say such as one of their vessels docking Rochester. Fortunately we have never had to announce such an event.

I find this sort of arrangement much more suitable. Be assured the Junkers are understanding of the Order's precarious situation and if the day arrives where the Hogosha--who I believe engage in a quite organized bit of smuggling themselves--are no longer in your house, we might become even more open and useful to one another.

One thing we do strongly share in common is a complete distrust of the Nomads and their minions the Wilde. I believe that takes precedence over other matters.
