IND Gin Palace to Crime Boss Sylpheed

To the Crime Boss of the Liberty Underworld

It would be insulting the intelligence of such a man to even assume you would not be aware that the IND have, on occasion, possibly been involved in some... Less than legal cargo hauling. This sometimes includes a certain illicit substance which you distribute throughout Liberty. On our latest attempt at hauling such a substance, we were ordered to halt whilst headed through Liberty to one of your warehouses. We cut our engines and informed him that we were working for your organisation.
He showed no regard for this, demanded we drop all our cargo and began to open fire all in a matter of seconds. We asked for a chance to talk about it, but he blatantly ignored us and continued to fire. At this point, we opened fire in retaliation. When he was halfway to destruction he retreated and we, not wanting for any unecessary lives to be lost, cruised away. He followed.
By the time he caught up with our vessel, we were inside the debris fields around Rochester and the vibrations from the impacts combined with the scrap limited our movement to the point that he was able to outmaneuver and outgun us. We were destroyed no more than one klick away from Rochester, not only disrupting your supply of Cardamine, but violating the Junker no-fire zones.
Whilst we respect you and your organisation, the Master feels that he cannot continue in this trade if such a thing is left unpunished. He believes the the repair bills, and also possibly the danger to our crew, is not worth a few more credits.

Respectfully,
Ted Wesley - Owner of the [IND]Gin.Palace
Steven Moore - Second in command.
