Sehr geehrte Frau Bommel, meine Damen und Herren,

first off I want to thank Frau Renate Bommel for responding to my report and apologize for the paperwork caused.

As my Kollegen Kadett Stone and Officer Wolthers already reported the events yesterday, I will only report today's events.

Report part #1: Rova caught again:
Criminal Rova showed up in my tracker coming from Stuttgart system. I performed a remote scan:
[26.09.2011 13:59:52] Rova[$40] entered tradelane at Stuttgart B-4
[26.09.2011 13:59:58] /showscan$ 40
[26.09.2011 13:59:58] NPC Only Infinite Power Supply,Adv. Debilitator Turret Mk I,Flamecurse Turret Mk I,Flamecurse Turret Mk I,Flamecurse Turret Mk I,Flamecurse Turret Mk I,Flamecurse Turret Mk I,Copper Ore
[26.09.2011 13:59:58] OK

I intercepted him at Dortmund Station to inform him about his criminal database entry. Again I scanned him with 4800 copper ore. Unfortunately he was breaching the docking controls of Dortmund station so fast, I was not even able to take a guncamshot.
Later when I happen to be busy, he took the opportunity, undocked and continued to travel to Liberty.
This time he took the faster route via Bering, as no lawful forces were present to hold him up.
[26.09.2011 14:20:13] Rova[$40] entered tradelane at Hamburg F-4
[26.09.2011 14:20:34] Rova[$40] exited tradelane at Hamburg F-2

Laws violated and fines owed:
§2.1.4.2. For the vessels of Gunboat class or Transport class with 3500 units of contraband in the cargo hold or less - cargo confiscation and 2.500.000 SC fine.
§2.4.1. Violation of orders given by law-enforcement authorities’ representatives. (500.000 SC fine)
§2.5.2. Hacking into docking and mooring control systems. (1.000.000 SC fine)
This all adds to his current criminal record at the criminal database.

Personal remark:
Sadly $2.1.4.3 does not apply, as I failed to take gumcamproof of his 4800 units of copper ore.

Now to the reason for being busy to stop him from fleeing.
Report part #2 Barge smuggler with false papers escorted by Gallic Royal Navy:

A Rheinland Military ship callsign Sharp-sighted informed me about a barge filled with copper ore is on its way to Hamburg. Do I have to mention -again- there is no place to sell it in Hamburg system, while Liberty is eagerly awaiting more copper ore to fuel their war efforts against Rheinland? I don't think so.

Another remote scan confirmed the words of the RM.
We called for backup and RFP|Kadett.Nic.Becker responded.

Only 10k from Dortmund Station the Barge callsign S.O.S. appeared in scanner range.
It got escorted by a Gallic Royal Navy bomber.
While we were approaching the Barge and Kadett Becker requested the Barge to halt for scan, its escort turned around yelling
[26.09.2011 14:11:05] [sr]-fikys: police go away
and opened fire.

Unfortunately Kadett Beckers's ship got destroyed by the escort of the barge a few minutes later:
[26.09.2011 14:20:05] Death: RFP|Wachmann.Nic.Becker was killed by [sr]-fikys (Gun)

There was a Red Hessian Vidar present and declared to attack the Gallic. Fortunately he was not after me, but on the other hand he destroyed the RM.
[26.09.2011 14:28:14] Death: Sharp-sighted was killed by Mega.Crusher (Missile/Torpedo)

Then something really strange happened. The Barge suddenly disappeared. What a bother! I was hitting it hard and loved to fly in curves around it.
[26.09.2011 14:29:10] 2011-09-26 12:29:13 SMT : S.O.S. is attempting to engage cloaking device

The Gallic Navy bomber was not tired to admit he is helping the Barge:
[26.09.2011 14:30:44] [sr]-fikys: i protecting barge

Well, that's was he was earning for his escort service:
[26.09.2011 14:39:48] Death: [sr]-fikys was killed by Isidor.Kugelblitz (Gun)

Have a look at the time. This exhausting fight lasted almost 30 minutes.

List of visual evidences:
Gallic bomber scan
Gallic bomber papers
Barge cargo scan
Barge false papers
Personal remark:
Its papers were acquired on no legal base, as its transponder was not showing any affiliation and my scanner detected it as a neutral vessel, while I am friendly with Kruger. This is a very bold attempt to get through Rheinland unharmed to maximize personal profit.
As always: A complete audio log is available per request.

This time I refrain from listing laws violated by that Barge. Instead I suggest to issue a death sentence.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Isidor Kugelblitz
