Comm ID: Cadet, Mark Bannon Recipient: 5th Fleet High Command Subject: Artifact smuggler caught in New York
Good day, I'd like to report the apprehension of an artifact smuggler in New York.
I've just arrived at Norfolk, when my scanners picked up a vessel by the ID name of CptBowie, I scanned the vessel, and found it full of illegal artifacts. I've managed to stop the vessel after a few tries. The pilot had an interesting story, that can be reviewed on the comms log below, however even if it was true, I couldn't let him proceed with the contraband.
Since the pilot decided to attempt to escape instead, I had no choice but to disable the vessel, and destroy the contraband, which I managed to do.
