Einen Guten Tag!

The Patrol today began somewhat shakily. I chased down a transport who refused to halt and, after a warning volley, his ship strangely escaped visual scanners. After a quarter hour of searching I returned to the Hamburg system, only to encounter a Libertonian Navy ship, or so it's IFF claimed. It turned out to be a simple error, his IFF had not been updated since he left active service, and he bore a Freelancer ID. He was carrying a small load of basic alloy, and was permitted through to New Berlin, likely to unload it at Oder or The Ring. He queried me about a Career as a trader for a Rheinland corporation, and I pointed him in the direction of Dauman Heavy Construction, as he was already headed to Oder.

The remainder of my patrol was uneventful, until i entered a new patrol with an Inspector. He proceeded to oversee me on several inspections, and things proceeded quite normally, untill we encountered a cargo train transporting multiple Civillian passengers (2800 by my ship's scanners) despite the law stating only Liner or otherwise approved vessels may carry more than a hundread passengers. He asked to be permitted to go as far as Stuttgart before he had to unload the civillians, as they were from Brettonia, so they might be closer to the Brettonian border. The Inspector permitted this on request of another Wachmann. He ordered me to assist in the escort, and we made it to the Stuttgart system. In the trade lane in system however, my lane was disrupted, and the Transport and the Wachmann continued on. I caught up to them at planet Stuttgart, the implied drop off, only to see them taking the Trade lane toward the Omega system. Before i could dock with the trade lane they had already exited the other side. They were ahead of me, and as I dropped out of the Trade lane only to see them enter the next, I encountered the Rheinland Gunboat RNC-Berlin. I contacted him, asking him to assist me, as the Wachmann had given the transport illegal orders to continue on to the Omega system. When confronted by myself and the RNC-Berlin, he claimed that his orders were only to bring the trader to Stuttgart, that was to say the stuttgart system. And that anything besides that was up to the trader. I was clearly able to see he made no attempt to stop the trader from taking the Jump gate, infact guiding him up to it. A seperate report will be filed on his actions, however rather than confront him about it, we were called back to New Berlin do to the apperance of multiple RHA Bombers near planet New Berlin.

This conclude the patrol report.
