You could say that the heat was turned way up in Bretonia.

While waiting by Manhattan, I notest a gathering of BAF and other related ships in Leeds. There were no known Kusari ships or other threats in the system. So, I proceeded to check it out. When I arrived my scanner picked up multiple capital ships and other misc. Bretonia ships near Planet Leeds. In the middle of it all was a Corsair Gunboat with a Bowex IFF, odd. I took some scans of the ship and found Corsair Turrets, GRN missile turret, and a freelancer ID to top it off. After a minute of watching the BAF interrogate this pilot, I proceeded to contact the pilot on private channels with no response (probably do to the mass comm traffic). Soon, after one of the BAF pilots contacted me privately and asked if I tried contacting the the freelancer pilot. I let him know that he hasn't replied to my messages. The BAF pilot continued by asking if I wanted to talk with the freelancer pilot privately in a quite place. I replied, "Yes, please." The BAF pilot proceeded to cool the situation by asking his squadron of ships to back away and allow the freelancer to follow me. In private, I asked the freelancer to follow me to Magellan to talk about the situation. I figured the best place to talk was in an asteroid field. After a few minutes, it was clear that he had never read the rules or the tech chart. I explained to him why the BAF was giving him such a hard time when he had a freelancer ID. In the end (because he had to leave so soon), I let him know that he should look at Discoveryfl/wiki and Discoverygc for rules, tech chart and other important things he needs to know. I wish he had time for me to help him physically to fix his character right then. I may just check up on him at a later time. He fell through the cracks, but we can help pick him up.

Few, that was less than a hour. I'm sure there will be more situations like this one in my future.
