Alright. What we have here is a bunch of miners who think they can take the Fatherland's profits from under our noses? Was Daumann notified? I want Emmerich Bergmann, director of Daumann operations, to be notified of this immediately, if he's not already been sent word.
I applaud our officers for doing only what they are taught. A vessel with no identification should be considered suspicious if not outright dangerous. I care not whether there's a backlash from this 'mining' group. If there has been no agreement signed with our corporations, then I will consider their mining of our fields as outright theft.
Hiltraud out-

A vessel with no identification will be placed under surveillance while in our space until it's been proven that said ship is not a threat. I understand that such a vessel was mining in -our- asteroid fields and it happened to hold your name.
I want confirmation that you have obtained mining rights from Emmerich Bergmann, director of Daumann's Dresden Diamond Field Operations. You have 36 hours to respond. If found that you do -not- have permission to mine our fields, then you and yours will be sued for infringing upon Daumann's mining rights. If you do not comply, you will be escorted out of Rheinland. If you further refuse to comply, you will be considered enemies of the state and you will be shot on sight when entering Rheinland space. The choice is yours.
Rheinland is RM's jurisdiction and we will uphold our laws throughtout our great space. My men will not harrass you; however, they will do their job.
