Comm ID: Ensign.Alexander Trent
Recipient: 5th Fleet High Command.
Subject: Demolition Parts and Separatist Parts Smuggler.
Report: 31/05/827
Attached are reports of my patrol that I completed on 31/05/827. I had 3 separate encounters with a freelance smuggler known as "eventful." And after 3 times of escaping, he damaged my vessel and is still on the run. Here are the records of what officially happened.

First Encounter with the smuggler Eventful

While patrolling the Texas System. I decided it would be a good idea to patrol the Bering Jump hole. While I was working on my communication frequency, he jumped to Bering, and I chased after him with no avail. He got away. This would not be the first time catching him. But I decided to take a gun-cam footage and to record our communications.

[31.05.2020 04:41:12] 5th|Alexander.Trent(UB): 2,000,000 should be enough this time
[31.05.2020 04:41:28] Eventful: That's so steep!

Second Encounter with the smuggler Eventful

So, after escaping me the first time, long range scanners indicated he was in Texas. So sure enough, I guard the jump hole to Bering. I caught him, once again, smuggling separatist material. He refuses to drop the cargo, and to pay the fine. i fire warning shots, he escapes via the Jump hole and takes the trade lane. I caught up with him, only to see him dock at Marshall Station.
