To Bounty Coordination Officer Lucas Engel and Hauptmann Zain Rahimi, Rheinland Military and Rheinland Police.

We'€™ve come a long way since performing a few patrols in the heart of House Rheinland and establishing a good foundational relationship with those who server our home. I believe we have made a difference in the amount of military vehicles that have been illegally transported off planet Nuremberg in Munich.

We'€™re also coming to a point where we would like to offer, yet another proposal, to Daumann and Republican shipping regarding Nuremberg. The issue in Omega 7 has hit a little closer to home that I would have liked, but I saw something like this coming when I left IMG as head of Research and development about a year ago. This has forced us to escalate our project on Nuremberg to where we would like to purchase a plot of land from Republican shipping. But that is another matter for another time with Republican.

There are a few questions I would like to ask so as not to step on Rheinland'€™s toes, so to speak. My freelancers and I have made strides in lowering the number of criminal activities in and around Munich, but also attracted some as well. I hope this does not prove to be a counter-balance in the future.

The Bundschuh. All I know of them is their single minded goal to eliminate the current Rheinland power structure and replace it with one of their making. I have seen few and far between, ship carrying their IFF and would like to know where they stand and what should be done when approached. They claim to defend Rheinland against foreign and domestic threats, but all I have seen or heard of them doing is destabilizing internal corporate operations to weaken Rheinland'€™s war machine but not one word of them defending Rheinland from any outside threat. They claim to be a '€œforce'€ fighting for the underclass and distraught working class of Rheinland, but again, I haven'€™t seen this. Can you shed any light on this for me and my freelancers?

Question about illegal cargo.
A. How far out of Rheinland space should possessors of any Rheinland sanctioned Illegal commodity should we pursue them?

B. If we encounter any ships listed on the Rheinland criminal list, should we dispense with the formalities, inform them of their crimes and allow them a chance to make amends or simply illuminate them? Captain Marshal was the only one who found any success in giving a point by point explanation of a transport'€™s crime and they seemed to not only pay the fine in full, but have not as of yet, been any problem with law infractions. On the other hand, Captain Owens has found countless others who blissfully ignore and even lie about their status with Rheinland and their desire to '€œchange their ways.'€ It seems this is a case by case issue and we'€™ll continue to handle it with kid gloves while upholding Rheinland law.

C. Interspace Commerce has been the largest breaker of the law surrounding the military vehicles from Munich. I presume other freelancers, sadly, are the second majority to this infraction. Can any agreement be made monetarily with Interspace for their ships constantly breaking Rheinland law? Maybe a trade of resources? All options, save them NOT taking military vehicles, goes against my grain, but it'€™s just a suggestion.

C2. May we be able to contact station control ops to prevent or sound off their ability to deny docking access to law breakers? Captain Owens has seen this happen more than once and having this right to request a docking denial would be helpful.

Questions about reports here
D. Most reported law breakers here are not added to the Rheinland criminal database, namely the ones who openly break Rheinland'€™s commodity laws. Is there anyway we could tag a report made here to be reflected in the criminal database so the paperwork isn'€™t so redundant? If not, we'€™ll start leaving reports of said law breakers in the criminal database.

H. Have we followed a format that makes sense or should it change? Owens seems to go overboard but I was just wondering.

I. Finally, is there anything about the actions I or anyone in this group have done to cause Rheinland pause or worry? If we have, let us know.

I am a Rheinland citizen. My heart and hope is that Rheinland can win through the day with honor, duty, and patronage of everyone who does their part. For our families, for our future, for Rheinland.
