Bug or screw up?

In Mission 3 after you have Escorted the convoy to Station WIllard, docked and then left Station willard to meet back up with JUni in space and she tells you that her Commanding officer has been arrested for treason she tells you to go back to California Minor. Well on route to the planet 3 ships appear and a little movie. They do not attack us. According to the Sybex - Stratagies & Secrets FREELANCER guide walk through I have about this it says that these guys are supposed to be hostiles! 3 Rheinhold Valkyries lvl 3. on my scanner it shows them to be neutrals. Military - Frank Topf, Military - Per Streithorst and Military - Aldelbert Vorkauffer. I have tried to attack them of course... As soon as one of their ships takes damage it gives me a MISSION Failure box saying that I failed mission because I attacked a Neutral target... Okay so I restart and get back to these 3 guys and I go around them avoiding conflict and proceed to California Minor and attempt to use docking ring to land on planet. I get up to docking ring and select dock and I just sit there. I try to use a gate to fly elsewhere. Nothing. I sit there. I cant get past this spot. Is this a bug? Did I do something wrong prior? Any input from anyone would be appreciated. Thanks.

Umm...not a bug/glitch.

Did you listen to what they say? Try replaying the mission and listen to what they tell you.

Yeah, that happened to me the first time, but when I loaded it, it worked fine. Make sure you let the entire cutscene play.

In the future, such things should go in the spoiler forum.

I initially had the sound bug when playing FL (some or most dialogue are silent), with that bug I couldn't get past that scene. After I fixed the sound bug, as mentioned in a text file on the CD, the scene worked as it should.

I don't know if this is just a coincidence, but I tried several times before I fixed the sound bug and it never worked, they were always neutral and when I got to the planet I couldn't dock.
