From: Oberlieutnant Attu Heikkinen

To: Kamraden Command

Subject: Action report 023-29-07-827

Today, whilst partoling Munich system I've stopped an independent merchant vessel, Pitbull class, registered under the name "Joe Conrad", for a regular inspection. Upon inspection, it turned out that it's cargo was filled to the brim well... this. Please refer to the picture below:

Despite knowing that artifact trade is forbidden by the Federal Law, I've decided to let the freelancer continue his journey after he agreed to provide a sample, and extensive information regarding his delivery contact on Planet New Berlin.

Apparently, there's a smuggling ring operating freely to and from the Imperial capital, and this freelancer knows how to reach them. I believe this information might prove usefull to our cause to either discredit Imperial leadership by exposing said ring, or establishing contact with the group to use their services ourselves.

Please, refer to the audio log attached to this message.

[29.07.2020 09:41:10]KAM|Olt.Attu.Heikkinen: Hold it, freelancer.
[29.07.2020 09:41:16] Joe.Conrad: Hi there.
[29.07.2020 09:41:40] KAM|Olt.Attu.Heikkinen: By the laws of the Federal Republic, I'm forced to conduct an inspection on your vessel.
[29.07.2020 09:42:07] Joe.Conrad: That's alright, would you like a unit of my cargo for -ze- inspection?
[29.07.2020 09:42:36] KAM|Olt.Attu.Heikkinen: I'm afriad I'll be forced to just do that. Scanners go haywire. Interesting.
[29.07.2020 09:42:41] Joe.Conrad: I've heard it's quite rare, paid top dollar for it.
[29.07.2020 09:42:44] KAM|Olt.Attu.Heikkinen: Bloody junk.
[29.07.2020 09:43:19] KAM|Olt.Attu.Heikkinen: Package recieved.
[29.07.2020 09:43:47] KAM|Olt.Attu.Heikkinen: Mein gott, what on Earth and other habtable planets is that?!
[29.07.2020 09:43:48] Joe.Conrad: Great! It'd look neat on a shelf.
[29.07.2020 09:44:04] Joe.Conrad: Wouldn't it?
[29.07.2020 09:44:27] KAM|Olt.Attu.Heikkinen: Is that a sculpture or...?
[29.07.2020 09:44:30] Joe.Conrad: Personally, I have no idea what it is. But is sure does look pretty, doesn't it?
[29.07.2020 09:44:48] KAM|Olt.Attu.Heikkinen: What do you mean you have no idea what this is?!
[29.07.2020 09:45:02] KAM|Olt.Attu.Heikkinen: It just shines... strange.
[29.07.2020 09:45:08] KAM|Olt.Attu.Heikkinen: Does it run on batteries?
[29.07.2020 09:45:28] Joe.Conrad: Apparently it's possible that it's...
[29.07.2020 09:45:30] Joe.Conrad: Uhm...
[29.07.2020 09:45:37] Joe.Conrad: Somehow connected to...
[29.07.2020 09:45:40] Joe.Conrad: Nomads?
[29.07.2020 09:45:53] KAM|Olt.Attu.Heikkinen: *The pilot frawned*
[29.07.2020 09:46:19] KAM|Olt.Attu.Heikkinen: You do realise shipment of alien equipment is illegal in the Federal Republic...
[29.07.2020 09:46:36] Joe.Conrad: It's not equipment really though, is it.
[29.07.2020 09:46:41] KAM|Olt.Attu.Heikkinen: Are you saying that those trinkets are of alien origin?
[29.07.2020 09:47:01] Joe.Conrad: I don't know, but I went to Omicron Chi for it.
[29.07.2020 09:47:06] KAM|Olt.Attu.Heikkinen: Please say no. We have enough trouble as it is.
[29.07.2020 09:47:16] Joe.Conrad: I have a suspision it might be.
[29.07.2020 09:47:18] Death: deuiil was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[29.07.2020 09:47:30] Joe.Conrad: Damn Corsairs, shouldn't have trusted them.
[29.07.2020 09:47:51] Joe.Conrad: You see sir, I am a kind man. I like to see no harm in people.
[29.07.2020 09:47:58] KAM|Olt.Attu.Heikkinen: What did you expect? We named them corsairs for a reason.
[29.07.2020 09:48:03] Joe.Conrad: I feel like I have been fooled though.
[29.07.2020 09:48:20] KAM|Olt.Attu.Heikkinen: Explain that to the Admiralty. ehhh...
[29.07.2020 09:48:28] KAM|Olt.Attu.Heikkinen: *The pilot covers his face*
[29.07.2020 09:48:45] KAM|Olt.Attu.Heikkinen: ... So, what did they tell you?
[29.07.2020 09:49:26] Joe.Conrad: They told me these shiny artifacts look good on a shelf, as decoration. Like a mineral, you know?
[29.07.2020 09:49:51] Joe.Conrad: The trading network showed a good price at New Berlin.
[29.07.2020 09:50:01] Joe.Conrad: Log in and see for yourself.
[29.07.2020 09:50:05] KAM|Olt.Attu.Heikkinen: New Berlin you say...
[29.07.2020 09:50:31] KAM|Olt.Attu.Heikkinen: Well, normally I'd have to hold your vessel, and confiscate the contraband, but
[29.07.2020 09:50:48] KAM|Olt.Attu.Heikkinen: I'll be blunt. I know whose the buyes are.
[29.07.2020 09:50:52] KAM|Olt.Attu.Heikkinen: //buyer*
[29.07.2020 09:50:52] Joe.Conrad: But I think it's not the standard commodity trader I'll have to sell it to there.
[29.07.2020 09:51:17] KAM|Olt.Attu.Heikkinen: Only the new "nobility" of Rheinland could afford such a shipment delivered, and frankly
[29.07.2020 09:51:30] KAM|Olt.Attu.Heikkinen: I could care less If they wnd up with a squid up their asses.
[29.07.2020 09:51:37] KAM|Olt.Attu.Heikkinen: //end*
[29.07.2020 09:52:22] Joe.Conrad: I think it's safe, just very frowned upon maybe. I haven't had any signs of life or anything coming from my hold.
[29.07.2020 09:52:37] Joe.Conrad: If you want, keep the relic, consider it a gift.
[29.07.2020 09:52:41] KAM|Olt.Attu.Heikkinen: Safe or not, laws make it clear.
[29.07.2020 09:52:44] Joe.Conrad: Perhaps inspect it further.
[29.07.2020 09:53:01] KAM|Olt.Attu.Heikkinen: I think I will.
[29.07.2020 09:53:13] KAM|Olt.Attu.Heikkinen: Any idea whose picking up your delivery?
[29.07.2020 09:54:12] Joe.Conrad: Not sure, I'll ask the basic trader. Apparently there is some code word.
[29.07.2020 09:54:45] KAM|Olt.Attu.Heikkinen: Oh really? Interesting.
[29.07.2020 09:54:51] Death: [RM]Panzerfaust was put out of action by [RM]Panzerschreck (Gun).
[29.07.2020 09:55:01] KAM|Olt.Attu.Heikkinen: And you know the password, right?
[29.07.2020 09:55:29] Joe.Conrad: Yeah I do. I got told I "want to check out the gems."
[29.07.2020 09:55:52] Joe.Conrad: All of this feels sketchy but... That profit though.
[29.07.2020 09:55:56] KAM|Olt.Attu.Heikkinen: And that's it? How convenient.
[29.07.2020 09:56:28] Joe.Conrad: You'd be surprised. Some of your men are corrupt, a hundred percent.
[29.07.2020 09:56:55] KAM|Olt.Attu.Heikkinen: Joe... mind if I call you a Joe? Please dont call crooks on New Berlin our men.
[29.07.2020 09:57:07] KAM|Olt.Attu.Heikkinen: We fight this bloody war for a reason.
[29.07.2020 09:57:31] Joe.Conrad: Joe is fine yes.
[29.07.2020 09:58:08] Joe.Conrad: I don't. I'm a Freelancer. We only care about our own benefits and try to not mix with others business.
[29.07.2020 09:58:27] KAM|Olt.Attu.Heikkinen: Fair enough.
[29.07.2020 09:58:56] KAM|Olt.Attu.Heikkinen: You know what? Let's pretend we've never meet each other,
[29.07.2020 09:59:16] KAM|Olt.Attu.Heikkinen: And please, for god's sake, Avoid overflying Munich with that stuff.
[29.07.2020 09:59:20] Joe.Conrad: I'd hide that relic before a superior comes around.
[29.07.2020 09:59:36] Joe.Conrad: Understood.
[29.07.2020 10:00:03] KAM|Olt.Attu.Heikkinen: Please continue your journey... and watch yourself out there.
[29.07.2020 10:00:09] Joe.Conrad: Considering that relic is sold on New Berlin you probably don't have any pricing intel on it.
[29.07.2020 10:00:27] KAM|Olt.Attu.Heikkinen: Insult of the Emperor has been added as a new crime in the Imperial Rheinland.
[29.07.2020 10:00:40] Joe.Conrad: It's worth 10k. I'm sure that's a few months of salary for you. I'd sneak it to your house.
[29.07.2020 10:00:48] KAM|Olt.Attu.Heikkinen: Don't worry, I'll think of something. Safe Skies.
