Meine Damen und Herren,

I have herein compliled everything noteworthy that happened during my patrols. I was most surprised when, only shortly after I left Strausberg, I happened upon a rather peculiar ship. Upon inquiry, it granted permission for me to scan its cargo hold, revealing a rather sizable amount of assorted small side arms therein, which, under Art. 3 §1.1. are designated Restricted Cargo in Rheinland space. I asked for his license whereupon the captain replied that he had not know that one was necessary. However, ignorance of the law is no excuse for breaking it.
I must say I am glad he yielded as I requested he drop his cargo and pay the fine — in accordance to Art. 3 §1.3. of the Rheinland Federal Law —, for I did not quite pack the punch required to combat his vessel if need be. He had already acquiesced as Herr Kaiser on the Landau arrived. Voice recordings and cargo scans are attached below.
