Guten Tag meine Damen und Herren.
This patrol was a busy one. I started the patrol at Planet Neu Berlin together with Flieger Alfred Richter and the route was: Frankfurt - Munich - Dresden - Stuttgart - Hamburg.
On our way trough Frankfurt to Munich nothing happened. When we reached the Chiemsee in Munich we had 2 contacts on the scanners. The scanner showed us 1 Kurger miner and 1 IC transport. Both had copper ore in their cargo hold.
The IC transport stated, that the copper ore was accidently mined while he tried to shoot some Corsairs attacking the transporter. Because I couldn`t really prove that he wanted to buy copper ore from the miner I ordered the IC transport to drop the cargo and leave Rheinland. He complied. I also ordered the Kruger miner to leave the Chiemsee as Kruger normally doesn`t mine copper ore. Flieger Alfred Richter had to refuell at this point and I continued the patrol on my own. Back in Frankfurt, at Mannheim station, I saw a Bowex transport carrying Gaian Wildlife.
I ordered him to drop the cargo, but the transport did a run for the station and succeded.
Right when I was trying to stop that train 2 freighters passed us. A quick scan of one of the freighter showed: They also carried Gaian Wildlife.
When the train docked I tried to catch the 2 freighters which where heading to Munich.
I managed to catch the 2 freighter on the lane from Battleship Regensburg to the Augsburg Orbital Colony.
I ordered them to stop. When I asked whether they know they are carrying contraband both engaged their cruise engines. I disrupted the bigger freighter, but the other one managed to flee. The disrupted freighter was ordered to sell its cargo at Battleship Regensburg, but instead of followeing the orders, the freighter didn`t stop at Regensburg but was heading to Planet Nuremberg and docked there. I couldn`t stop him because I was disrupted by some Corsairs. While I waited at Planet Nuremberg I saw a IMG Hegemon carrying copper ore.
I couldn`t sanction him, because IMG is allowed to carry copper ore.. but we all know where it will be sold.
After around 10 minutes of waiting I continued my patrol, because the freighter didn`t undock.
In Dresden all was quiet.
When I entered Stuttgart I saw 2 hostile contacts at the tradelane between the Neu Berlin Jumpgate and Planet Stuttgart. It were 2 hessian Thor bomber. When they saw me they immedeately attacked me.
