Honored Ladies of the sisterhood, there is a matter that requires your attention.

Airwatch has recently encountered, among other things, an anomalous gunboat class ship that has been basing off of Ainu. When we initally encountered it, the vessel, callsign 'Mirko.van.der.Lippe' (Freelancer tag and ID) was moored with Ainu, and left in a hurry. Our vessel in question, CLCG-01 Abyss attempted to contact the target vessel's captian. The vessel did not respond initally. We presumed, due to it's identification and tag that it was leaving the area.

However, today, the Abyss again encountered the same vessel. It's captian was instructed to deploy restrictors and interrogate the target ship and it's crew. The captian spoke this time, indicating that he intended to use Ainu as his home base, and was attempting to get on good terms with the Sisterhood and was unaware of the Consortium. Seeing as he had repeatedly been allowed to dock without the local patrols and internal security forces destroying his ship, the Abyss was instructed to stand down for the time being, and await confirmation from the GC Elders.

Scan records of the vessel are attached...



Due to the recent wave of hostile mercenary activity we have been having recently, everyone is a bit on edge. I simply request your confirmation on the nature of this vessel and it's permission to operate in GC airspace. It falls outside the Consortium's juristiction to decide weather or not to restrict this vessel's presance in the future. Airwatch is only authorised to protect Ainu and the GC from confirmed hostiles and interdict traders.

Airwatch will accept any GC instructions regarding dealing with this and other vessels inside the Ainu dischordance zone. Until we recive instruction to you, we will leave this vessel alone unless it shows direct hostility.

My dear Watsas.
I myself do not have any information about 'Mirko.van.der.Lippe'. However, perhaps other Elders do. Unless one of them responds here with other instructions for you, i would please you, should you see said Freelancer again, to question everything useful out of him (for example why exactly he wishes to use Ainu as base and what would be the benefit for the Sisterhood of that).
Please let us know his answers, should none of my sisters be able to provide them faster than you.
If he chooses to igore your request, you may destroy him.

This last also goes for all Chrysanthemums.

Thanks for your information about this Freelancer

Kaede
