The SCRA have overstepped their bounds again. We might need a few cleaners out there. Be on the lookout!

A SCRA tagged Assault Frigate was demanding extradition of 75 of our passengers under threat of it's big guns, claiming they were revolutionaries. I ask, since when are revolutionaries demanding revolutionaries that payed for the transport from point A to point B? Not to mention the big guns threatening at midway... I guess it's one of the big mysteries of life. Anyway, no damage done, I safely docked with Corfu escorted by the Forrestal, who's captain solved it by explaining the SCRA captain some legal gibberish about jurisdiction.

Wise decision stationing the Forrestal at Corfu I will say.
