Good evening.

My apologies for the delay in my personal response. I was considering whether this was worth my attention, or if I should let LaBrie handle this.

Congressman.

Perhaps Jada Zachary was upset with the Congress because she, and her taskforce of Raiders have been ambushed by the Liberty Navy on multiple occasions.. with the responsibility laying on members of the Junkers' Congress. I'm not exactly sure of the details, but I have heard multiple reports of .:j:. members "ratting" out my Raiders, and damn-near getting them killed. I've always considered the Junkers to be an ally, at the very least on the friendly side of the spectrum with the Vagrant Raiders, but I wasn't aware that such feelings were rewarded with semi-neutral parties selling out our ships' positions to the enemy. Yes, before bringing in one of our Battleships to the vicinity of Rochester, Warlady Zachary should have sent word ahead via fighter escort or a message. But, one with any sense in their head could figure as to why Warlady Zachary might be a *bit* perturbed.

I'll thank you to keep your congressmen from selling out my Raiders and getting them killed and I'll consider the matter closed.


Rogue parties.

I don't know how the hell you got access to this channel. Right now, I don't particularly care, what I am more concerned with is the fact you trust the word of these Junkers (The merit of which, is questionable at this point). The Systematic Chaos does not *dock* with tiny asteroid bases. Oxygen and basic supplies are ferried over via shuttle and transport ship. This is quite relevant.

So if you want to deny our crews on our Battleship, as well as roaming Destroyers basic supplies, that's all fine. I'll just keep it in mind that you consider the relevance of a brief incident with a Junker guard, where he was more or less justly spoken rudely to by a ranking member of the Vagrant Raiders, to be greater than our past history of cooperation in supplies, technology exchange, and mutual respect.

I hope this spying-on our encrypted channels is an isolated incident, and will not be tolerated in the future. Please note that you are not the only ones with spying abilities in Liberty. We keep people like Escher around for reasons such as this.

Petrucci out.
