RE: Transit policy

George -

I was going through some paperwork tonight and had a couple of incident reports cross my desk. Make sure you take your blood pressure medication before you read the rest of this - I don't need you blowing your stack.

Okay?

First, apparently there was a smuggler - with a Junker IFF, no less - that had the temerity to take the jump hole from 15 into 56, and run across to Halle. The crew of the Feuerhunde chased him, but he did get through ahead of them. Rather than pursue, the captain simply commed the interloper and told him in no uncertain terms that he could either pay a small fine for trespassing - or be put on a shot on sight anywhere in Sirius list for all S/D pilots. To make a long story short, the 1 million credits has been forwarded to the Armoury, and the CollectordeArms!!! has been warned that the next time he comes through, he will be destroyed - no questions asked.

Second, some freelancer by the handle of Free Bird decided that hanging around Rostock was too dangerous, and took a quick jump into 56. The regular system guard ended up showing him the error of his ways. However, once he gets out of the hospital, he may end up over at Sheffield looking for employment, so you can consider this a heads up for that.

Other than that, we're basically trying to maintain normal operations in house space. The damned Corsairs seem to have finished their family feud, and there have been several ship losses in Bretonian space. Some of the boys are doing good work on escorts. We're feeling spread a little thin, which isn't surprising, given how much we actually ARE doing all over Sirius.

I know that Jeff over at APM has his crews working pretty hard on getting everything all transferred and the new construction done. I think everything is only slightly behind schedule, but I'd rather have things done right, albeit a little slower, than rushed and screwed up.

Did you get that case of wine I sent you? My cousin said he picked it up at a reasonable price if you want more of it. Lord knows none of OUR pilots are ever going to get up there to get it - and I personally liked it.
