Liberty Police, Inc. Reporting Office

I headed down to the flight deck this morning to find my Liberator with its repairs completed.

"It's a good thing my ships finally fixed," I thought."With my Sunbucks privileges still revoked I probably would have flipped out at the Chief engineer if it wasn't."

I jump in the cockpit and pull out a small coffeemaker from my duffel bag.
"Well no Sunbucks but I will still have some coffee." I thought. "Ill just have to figure out how to install this thing."

I lean under the control panel and pull some power cords so I can splice them with the coffeemaker.
After 10 mins or so of working the Chief Engineer walks up and yells.

"What are you doing. I just got that ship fixed and now you are ripping apart the cockpit."

"I'm just trying to install this coffeemaker. Calm down I am not gonna hurt the ship," I replied.

"Its against LPI regulations to have any beverage dispensers in patrol craft.
Also that coffeemaker will draw too much energy from the smaller power core we had to install.
So unhook the coffeemaker," he demanded.

I grin at him and pull a bottle out of my duffel bag.

"How about a small bribe for your silence," I ask. "Is a bottle of 30 year old Gallic wine sufficient."

He stares at me and asks,"Where did you get that?"

"I confiscated it from a smuggler. Do we have a deal?" I ask.

"Hmm.... Alright, If you hook the coffeemaker to the scanner array it shouldn't affect your power supply too much." He takes the wine and stuffs it under his uniform and heads away.

After hooking up the coffeemaker I head out to space and start my patrol.
I patrolled Colorado, New York, Texas, and Pennsylvania without any incident.
I then went to Manhattan and established a checkpoint outside the docking ring.
I did not find any smugglers and eventually received a report of a rogue destroyer near west point.
I called for reinforcements and an Assault Carrier answered my summons.
Together we engaged this hostile who almost immediately fled into the badlands.
We did not pursue and I received no more reports of this hostile.
