Official Transcript
Manehattan Incident
April 17th, 1012

CLASSIFIED
PUBLIC TRUST

What is transcribed in this document before you is the official Moose code transcripts between the Steamer Titanic and Equestrian Naval Forces on the days of April 16th and 17th.

April 16th


Titanic: "Cape Race, this is MGY, please respond. Again, Cape Race, this is MGY, please respond."
[14:06]

"Any ships in area, MGY in heavy storms, requesting contact."
[14:07]

"To any ships in area, please respond. This is Titanic."

The messages above are repeated throughout the rest of the day and into the early morning


April 17th


ENS Baltimare: "Steamer Titanic, turn back immediately and be prepared to be boarded for an inspection."
[09:23]

Titanic: "State your identification."
[09:24]

ENS Baltimare: "Repeat, Titanic, turn back immediately and be prepared to be boarded for an inspection."
[09:26]

Titanic: "Repeat, State your identification."
[09:27]

ENS Baltimare: "Turn back from course immediately."
[09:30]

Titanic: "Who is this? Hunston, get off the wire."
[09:31]

ENS Baltimare: "Who is Hunston?"
[09:32]

Titanic: "Hunston, get off line before we log this."
[09:33]

ENS Baltimare: "Repeat, who is Hunston?"
[09:34]

Titanic does not reply for another 10 minutes

Titanic: "Cape Race, do you bloody copy."
[09:45]

Titanic: "Repeat, Cape Race, do you copy."
[09:50]

ENS Baltimare: "Titanic, turn around, stop ship, prepare to be boarded."
[09:51]

Titanic: "Is this a bloody joke. Who is this."
[09:53]

ENS Baltimare: "Titanic, comply with orders or face consequences."
[09:54]

Titanic cuts contact for nearly an hour and a half while steaming for Manehattan.

Titanic: "To any ships, engines are running overtime, slowing down, request assistance."
[11:28]

ENS Stallion: "Report recieved Titanic. How long before stop."
[11:30]

Titanic: "Reckon 10 minutes before stop. Requesting identification."
[11:31]

ENS Stallion: "None of your concern. We are here to help."
[11:32]

Titanic: "Changing course southeast."
[11:33]

At this point, it appears that the Stallion and Iron Grail were fooled into turning south east under pretense that Titanic was. It is not until ENS Baltimare hears of this when they get back on course to intercept Tianic.

ENS Baltimare: "Steamer Titanic, turn around now or face severe consequences."
[11:51]

Titanic: Message Garbled by incoming messages from Stallion and Iron Grail
[11:52]

ENS Baltimare: "Repeat Titanic."
[11:54]

Titanic: "Sod off you bloody yank."
[11:56]

ENS Baltimare: "What is a yank."
[11:57]

Titanic: "Don't play funny with me."
[11:58]

ENS Baltimare: "Titanic, turn back now or you may be forced to do so."
[11:59]

Titanic: "Force a passenger ship. On what charge."
[12:00]

Titanic: "Unknown ship, respond. On what charge will you forcefully stop a passenger ship."
[12:05]

The Baltimare for some reason did not respond to the Titanic's calls for an answer. That was the last transmission between the ship and fleet before the Manehattan incident occurred that afternoon.
