Hello everyone. Wachmeister Felber here.

I only have a short report of a rather unusual incident yesterday. I was contacted by the captain of the Watchtower, an Oder-class gunboat of the secondary police forces. They had stumbled upon a pilot of the Liberty Navy Primary Fleet, at the Omega-7 jump gate in Stuttgart and directed them to dock at Ulm for interrogation. All of this sounded very strange to me, so I headed over to Ulm immediately. Not wanting to escalate this into a diplomatic incident, I took the freedom of releasing the Navy pilot and escorting him to the Hudson border. I doubt any actual interrogation took place at Ulm, but the man was rather shaken. Probably a newer recruit.
The reason for his little adventure was just as strange as the spot he was found at: Apparently he was escorting his love interest through the Omegas. What am I supposed to say to that?

Anyway, he was perfectly cooperative and we reached Hudson without incident. Here's the logs.

[25.04.2016 08:40:39] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Hey. Are you the Navy pilot currently held at Ulm?
[25.04.2016 08:40:55] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: Correct *he answers dejectedly*
[25.04.2016 08:41:17] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Alright. I'm Wachmeister Jakob Felber of the Federal Police. I'll get you out of there.
[25.04.2016 08:41:27] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: Am I clear to undock?
[25.04.2016 08:41:45] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Not yet, I'm on my way. I'll inform Ulm personnel when I arrive.
[25.04.2016 08:41:53] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: Copy that.
[25.04.2016 08:42:30] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: We don't need to make a major diplomatic incident over a little thing like this, I think.
[25.04.2016 08:42:47] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Although I have to ask....what were you doing in Rheinland space?
[25.04.2016 08:42:50] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: The truth is I started dating someone, and she has to travel this route for work.
[25.04.2016 08:43:13] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: I was waiting out there to make sure nobody would attempt an attack.
[25.04.2016 08:43:27] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: That's....very sweet. But I do recommend doing that sort of thing on a civilian ship.
[25.04.2016 08:43:36] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: Understood.
[25.04.2016 08:45:04] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Alright. I suppose I'll escort you directly to the Liberty border.
[25.04.2016 08:45:17] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: Permission to undock then?
[25.04.2016 08:46:10] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: I'm arriving now and I'm radio'ing Ulm docking command. Go ahead.
[25.04.2016 08:46:38] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Great. Now let's get you to the border.
[25.04.2016 08:46:46] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Go ahead and take the lane.
[25.04.2016 08:47:00] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: The lane or the gate, officer?
[25.04.2016 08:47:07] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: The lane, we're heading to Hudson.
[25.04.2016 08:47:21] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: I hope she made it back safely.
[25.04.2016 08:47:33] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: I, uh, hope so too.
[25.04.2016 08:47:40] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: Thank you though.
[25.04.2016 08:48:09] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Keep going.
[25.04.2016 08:49:15] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: Do you have a family?
[25.04.2016 08:49:19] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: Or someone back at home?
[25.04.2016 08:49:44] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Well, I have my parents, of course. And I have a girlfriend.
[25.04.2016 08:50:03] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: I'm sure you understand then.
[25.04.2016 08:50:28] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Of course, but if you're doing some off-duty escorting, I recommend getting a ship with freelancer papers for that purpose.
[25.04.2016 08:50:37] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: I'll do that.
[25.04.2016 08:50:54] Bowex.Falcon: Greetings
[25.04.2016 08:51:01] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Good day, Bowex!
[25.04.2016 08:51:26] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: My name's Avery by the way.
[25.04.2016 08:51:44] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Pleasure. I did introduce myself, right?
[25.04.2016 08:51:50] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: I think so...?
[25.04.2016 08:52:06] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Jakob Felber, in case I forgot.
[25.04.2016 08:52:16] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: Good to meet you.
[25.04.2016 08:52:22] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Alright, Dortmund lane, please.
[25.04.2016 08:52:45] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: Am I allowed to open a comm's link with someone outside space here?
[25.04.2016 08:53:08] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: I don't see why not. Do you want someone to pick you up at the border?
[25.04.2016 08:53:14] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: I'll be fine.
[25.04.2016 08:54:57] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: One more system.
[25.04.2016 08:55:15] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: Don't take this the wrong way, but I never want to come back here.
[25.04.2016 08:55:42] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Fair enough, heh. I'm sure it'd be nicer if you come as a tourist.
[25.04.2016 08:55:57] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: I'd be shell-shocked from all the memories of interrogation.
[25.04.2016 08:56:04] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: So the experience is kind of ruined.
[25.04.2016 08:56:14] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Weren't you only at the station for a few minutes?
[25.04.2016 08:56:33] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: They can't have asked you much more than your name and rank in that time.
[25.04.2016 08:56:48] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: My mind is focused on different things.
[25.04.2016 08:56:51] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: Maybe that's why...
[25.04.2016 08:57:13] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: I feel a reprimand coming for this.
[25.04.2016 08:57:14] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Well. This is a sensitive time, with the peace accords only just having been signed after such a long time.
[25.04.2016 08:57:21] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: At least there's no diplomatic fall-out.
[25.04.2016 08:57:26] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: I'll make sure this doesn't get blown out of proportion on my end.
[25.04.2016 08:57:42] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Alright, to the Westfalen.
[25.04.2016 08:57:47] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: Thanks.
[25.04.2016 08:57:57] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: This isn't a story I plan on telling either.
[25.04.2016 08:58:22] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: I'll make a standard report, of course. I kind of have to since you were registered at Ulm.
[25.04.2016 08:58:30] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: No worries.
[25.04.2016 08:58:41] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: The Federal Police won't raise issue though, I'm sure.
[25.04.2016 08:58:47] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: It's not like anything hostile happened.
[25.04.2016 08:59:02] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Exactly. Little things like this aren't that uncommon.
[25.04.2016 08:59:11] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: Re-activating weapon systems.
[25.04.2016 08:59:50] Connection to tradelane sensor network lost.
[25.04.2016 09:00:00] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: Guess this is it then.
[25.04.2016 09:00:03] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Alright, here's where I turn around. I'm sure you'll be fine.
[25.04.2016 09:00:08] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: Thanks.
[25.04.2016 09:00:23] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: Keep in touch, you have my frequencies registered after the ship inspection.
[25.04.2016 09:00:26] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Safe flying, Avery. I hope you do return under different circumstances.
[25.04.2016 09:00:32] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: Take care.

Felber out.
