Deposition.
30 Jan 2017Gracey Field
I Cmdr Gracey Field P.B.S.F. Badge number 034,Do solemnly swear that this deposition is given freely and is an accurate account as far as I am aware of the events of the incident involving myself and an unknown Security Service pilot acting on behalf of the Green Party of Ross 733.
It was approximately 0300 hrs SET (Standard Earth Time) I was returning to Ising Vision, Neto. I was returning from a reconnaissance mission involving pirates, hence the livery of my ship was that of a standard pirate. I was in your system, Ross 733, when I was interdicted by a scrotebag * cough * a wanted criminal and as I pulled out of FSD space into the asteroid belt. I pursued my attacker through the belt and as he tried to evade my fire he went behind an asteroid. I decided to “cut him off at the pass” so to speak and headed for the exit point of the tango. I lost visual with the tango. I also lost target lock just prior to the tango exiting the cover of the asteroid. Knowing he would have his weapons ready to bear on me when he exited cover I opened fire on his ship as soon as I saw it emerge from cover. To my surprise the ship I had opened fire on was a member of the Green Party of Ross 733 Security Services.
In closing I can only apologise for not ensuring my target was a legitimate tango before opening fire. I willingly accept full responsibility for my actions and I accept the fine of 250Crs which I will pay off when I pick up my bounties of 27,162Crs. May I suggest that maybe your pilot should be more proactive in his duties instead of skulking behind asteroids.
