Encryption: heavy for Secretary McRemitz.

Greetings, Secretary McRemitz,

We do appreciate your patience. It's been a very trying time for us of late. As we speak, we have a motion on the floor to alter some of our NFZ rules. I anticipate passage within a few days. In the mean time, I did have questions and observations.

Both Bering and Kepler are edgeworlds, bordering two houses. I have to ask, does Liberty and Kusari both claim Kepler as Liberty and Rheinland laying any claims to Bering? If yes to either, I think you will need to settle with those houses on that issue. We always felt it was shared space.

No, we haven't had a regular presence of our ships to watch over them in the past but we are working on it. With hostilities elsewhere, we've had to move ships where they were needed.
However, my shuttle has been on both Freeport 2 and Ames Research over last couple of weeks. We have monitored base logs for all incoming and outgoing vessels. Asides the stray Xeno, Hacker, Unioner or what have you coming for supplies, there has been no documentation of criminal activities from either facility.
I would also like to point out that these groups you have problems with have their own bases in which to operate from, some of them several bases. I have personally not visited any of them but do know they exist from informants. I do believe your large raiding parties are coming from those bases as I know they aren't coming from ours.

Another thing to consider about patrols not being there. We have had so much piracy trouble just getting to these facilities that most Zoners choose not to go near Liberty space. We have traders that get pirated multiple times and actually lose money on runs. We've even had fighter ships en route get pirated. If you want us to provide more assistance on this matter, we could use some help with this problem.

I would like to meet with you personally if possible, at a location of your choosing. If this is possible, do let me know. I await your response.

Yours In Eris,
Dr. John Henry Holliday
Council Chairman
