Report 7
The following contains reports of notable incidents arising from the last series of patrols by LPI-Virgil.Samms routine operations resulting in no action are omitted for brevity.
P1. Lane Hacker ship flagged Mukiwa sighted near Manhattan, challenged, chased and removed. Part of engagement (CD support) with LN-Kim Brown, LNS Ravanger, Sifo Dyas and Las Vagas and NG Storm Assault 13.
Outcast N724C-"Exspes" challenged entering New York, no sensible dialogue and fled into badlands.
StaticX refused to stop after routine cargo scan request. Tried to run but was halted and searched, no problems found but also no communications established. Assumed comms failure. Back-up provided by Tempeny Overeem.
P2. Mr Mumpitz failed to stop, partial scan revealed contraband however was unable to intercept, craft escaped from system.
Off. J.Hedley noted, no strange behaviour apparent.
Arhur Griffin appeared to be carrying Nomads but at extreme scan, fled with no response to comms, evaded chase.
Intercepted .:: PL ::.Sulo trying to sell coded weapons in mid-space to VR-Abby Braddock. Communication turned ugly as VR assumed he was being set up, in fact it was just a routine patrol encounter. VR fled as LN Christopher Hood appeared. PL faded away as I was dealing with VR. Did reappear on systems comms trying to sell codes, again warned about weapons dealing.
Theordor Benedetto was challenged as to why so close to Manhattan, informed me he was a hacker lawyer and was going to arrest me and take me for trial at Manhattan. Interesting conversation ensued giving the impression that the pilot may have been under the influence. Tried to escort to Manhattan but he was joined by Outcast Bordetella. Engagement ensued with backup arriving from LSF Johnny Leroy and Randy Roden and Erik Tevinsil. Benedetto was eventually tamed by LSF fire, with Bordetella escaping in the melee.
P3. Darth Satanus and apparently new criminal was found wandering too close to Manhattan. Eventually he shed some escape pods and was allowed to leave the system, warned that if he reappeared it would be instant arrest. LSF Anna Brown and Sharon Valerie in attendance, then a brief joint patrol before they headed to the Omicrons for security duties. Before leaving they asked for any information on VultureSam if encountered (was not encountered) and asked for Brooth and Verticalius to be reported to senior officers for entering restricted space and opening fire (Verticalius), please take this report as that passing to seniors.
P4. James Wallace Denoon refused to stop near West Point and darted into TL, from comm chatter around Manhattan I inferred the reason for this was illegal cargo. Rescanned later and was clean.
DSE-FalconRJ randomly fired on .j. Gunner Kelly who requested to be allowed to return fire, managed to suggest that this was not a good idea and both parties flew in separate directions, although comms were abrasive between them.
P5. Patrol with LPI-D.Dusentrieb A wider ranging patrol as I was shown the route to Red deer Station and the Colorado/Ontario JH. A number of generic calls regarding unlawful activity were received but none turned into hard contacts.
Rhineland Behemoth Extreme Greed intercepted just exiting Cortex/California JG with 2999 Cardamine in cargo. Cardimine was destryed, S.Dusentrieb fined the pilot, pilot was warned and turned back out of Liberty space.
Mr Mumpitz acting suspiciously at trade lane was moved on.
