Glory to Rheinland.

I began my patrol in the New Berlin system operating a 90-ARKM-N45. Moving through the trade lane to Bonn Station my scanners picked up a Junker with the handle of "ScrapVulture". I disengaged from the Trade Lane to hail, and scan his cargo. There were all manner of peculiarities in his storage including what seemed to be exotic biological tissues. I caught only a glance in his hold before I was forced to engage cruise engines and pursue him. Continuing in the general direction he had disappeared I located a Junker base.

I docked here and made inquiries, though this was unfruitful. I departed, and resumed my course for Bonn Station.

Before I could dock at Bonn Station I was notified that the Zoner ID related to yesterdays artifact seizure, "Alcmaeonidae", was again active in the New Berlin System. I cut through the Achenfeld, hoping to encounter this smuggler by chance.

Soon enough our military base in Dresden captured his ID there. I made haste, but by then, his signal was out of the system.

Exploring the Dresden system I located two jump gates - one to Omega 54 and one to New Berlin. I scouted through Omega 54, destroying a vanguard of Hessian fighters. I tested the defenses of their weapons platforms and scouted their bases.

Now that I have located the hole between Dresden and New Berlin, I will be more deliberate to patrol this obvious smuggler route.
