Guten Abend Officers,

during a standard patrol of the Hamburg system, in order to protect trade lanes and Rheinland interests in the area, i spotted a Liberty Rogue. The Rogue possibly came from the Nordheide, passed Altona Station and headed for the New Berlin jump gate. A Synth Foods transporter i scanned only minutes before this encounter signaled for no help - so either the Rogue ignored it or did not cross its path.

Code:
[19.10.2022 21:42:04] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer:  ... now what is this... ?

[19.10.2022 21:42:13] [R]-Flaw: On the left hand side, you may see Hamburg. Or maybe not. Just don't peek out.

[19.10.2022 21:42:28] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Pardon me, Hilda. I'll have to investigate this i'm afraid.

[19.10.2022 21:42:50] OS&C|ONE-Beefmaster: Hilda: yes you can book me for Events and Parties. and i think that was a Rouge. 

[19.10.2022 21:42:55] [R]-Flaw: Thank you for choosing Rog Space Industries.

[19.10.2022 21:43:00] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer:  ... hmf, that means escorting him out ...

[19.10.2022 21:43:09] OS&C|ONE-Beefmaster: Hilda: sure go.

[19.10.2022 21:45:41] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Rogue vessel - you have entered Rheinland space. Law prohibits your stay here - stop your journey, transmit your location 

[19.10.2022 21:45:46] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: and await further orders.

[19.10.2022 21:46:20] [R]-Flaw: Your feedback is noted and appreciated. We'll be sure to forward it to our PR department.

[19.10.2022 21:46:57] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Forwarded feedback will not be sufficient. I repeat once more - cut your engines, transmit your location and await further 

[19.10.2022 21:46:59] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: orders.

[19.10.2022 21:52:10] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Rogue vessel - this is your last warning. Forwarded feedback is insufficient. Cut your engines - transmit your location and 

[19.10.2022 21:52:23] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: this will go over ... considerably less problematic.

[19.10.2022 21:52:45] [R]-Flaw: I could forward a formal complaint to HR.

[19.10.2022 21:53:31] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: If that is your final choice ... lack of cooperation is noted and will be considered in further dealing with you, Rogue

[19.10.2022 21:53:34] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: vessel.

I pursued him shortly after taking notice of his presence. He was quick to jump to New Berlin, refused to cooperate as expected and stalled for time. He evaded me mostly in New Berlin and Frankfurt, but i managed to track his signature up to Munich. There, however, i lost him unfortunately.
Instead i came across two larger Corsair vessels, a battleship and a cruiser. They used the dark-matter storm near Raubling Station to mask their activity - i relayed my findings to a nearby battleship of the Rheinwehr in this sector. Being vastly outgunned i retreated shortly after having given proper locational data to the Unsichtbar.

Code:
[19.10.2022 21:54:51] [RM]RNC-Unsichtbar: K: Large vessel confirmed moving to the optimal osittion.

[19.10.2022 21:55:41] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: The Unsichtbar? And ... a Corsair vessel of larger size. That is not what i had been looking for.

[19.10.2022 21:56:42] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Another Corsair as well... mhm.

[19.10.2022 21:56:43] CNS-Death-Valley: D: Dont come closer fighter

[19.10.2022 21:57:37] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Oh, manners even? Ja, i won't go and take out myself by getting close to that. Relaying that position is enough...

[19.10.2022 21:58:04] elCorsario: run run little scum

[19.10.2022 21:58:34] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Oh how rich coming from you.

[19.10.2022 21:59:57] elCorsario: i thinl rm dont cowardly

[19.10.2022 22:00:14] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: This is Bootsmann Habermeyer to the Unsichtbar - i picked up an earlier transmission from you. Are you hunting those Corsairs?

[19.10.2022 22:00:37] elCorsario: rm dont move

[19.10.2022 22:00:43] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Cowardly? Certainly not, nein. But i am far from suicidal. And that would be an attack on a Battleship alone.

[19.10.2022 22:00:53] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Don't move? Why should i comply with that ... 'request' of yours?

[19.10.2022 22:01:01] elCorsario: haha

[19.10.2022 22:01:46] [RM]RNC-Unsichtbar: Kommander speaking.   Mu calculation telling me that we would have heavy damage from that interaction but we would get large.

[19.10.2022 22:03:25] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: I just discovered what must be a cruiser of the Corsairs as well. I doubt we would have enough firepower for this. Orders?

Much to my surprise the Rogue appeared again - the Corsairs even offered to pay him for taking me down. He did not answer - but kept on going. With me hot on his heels, his charade did fail more and more. His course was set to what later turned out to be a jump hole to Frankfurt, hidden away in the Schwarzwald Cloud.

Code:
[19.10.2022 22:03:31] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer:  ... ah, there we are again.

[19.10.2022 22:03:34] [RM]RNC-Unsichtbar: K: Vectors confirmed. Loading weapon systems.

[19.10.2022 22:03:45] elCorsario: Flaw take you 5 mil for down rm

[19.10.2022 22:04:12] [R]-Flaw: HR doesn't want to respond, you might be out of luck.

[19.10.2022 22:04:20] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Shame that... really.

[19.10.2022 22:05:08] [R]-Flaw: By HR, we are talking about Hit and Run, correct?

[19.10.2022 22:05:27] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Must be quite convenient for HR to ... be unresponsive right now.

[19.10.2022 22:05:31] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Hit and Run? 

[19.10.2022 22:05:43] [R]-Flaw: Or something like that.

[19.10.2022 22:05:50] [R]-Flaw: I don't know, made it up on the spot.

[19.10.2022 22:05:56] Death: CNS-Death-Valley was put out of action by [RM]RNC-Unsichtbar (Gun).

[19.10.2022 22:06:00] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Undoubtedly so... 

[19.10.2022 22:06:23] [R]-Flaw: Truly, our ruse has been foiled.

[19.10.2022 22:06:25] Death: elCorsario was put out of action by [RM]RNC-Unsichtbar (Gun).

[19.10.2022 22:06:34] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: You were somewhat close with that terminology - but not it's proper meaning. It does not mean Hit and Run. 

[19.10.2022 22:06:38] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: I am afraid it is, ja.

[19.10.2022 22:07:39] [R]-Flaw: Close enough.

The hunt stretched over several systems, only twice i managed to get close enough. First time for a proper scan, which revealed 646 Artifacts in his cargo hold. The second time for an unfortunately unsuccessful attempt at disrupting the ships cruise engines. The amount and speed of deployed countermeasures during that indicates a designated smuggling vessel, no doubt.

Code:
[19.10.2022 22:08:16] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Goodness me... 

[19.10.2022 22:08:21] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: We have something of value with us!

[19.10.2022 22:08:27] [R]-Flaw: Do you?

[19.10.2022 22:08:40] [R]-Flaw: Try ducking.

[19.10.2022 22:08:41] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Oh, i only got my convictions with me. You, however, are smuggling contraband.

[19.10.2022 22:08:49] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: That was my surprise upon that discovery.

[19.10.2022 22:08:54] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Hit me a bit too hard.

[19.10.2022 22:08:54] [R]-Flaw: Am I really?

[19.10.2022 22:09:02] [R]-Flaw: Might just be furniture.

[19.10.2022 22:09:05] [R]-Flaw: Rare furniture.

[19.10.2022 22:09:16] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Ja you are. Artifacts to be precise. Now ... stop, cut your engines and hand them over.

[19.10.2022 22:09:43] [R]-Flaw: Buy your own.

[19.10.2022 22:10:05] [R]-Flaw: Not looking to sell it to you in Rheinland.

[19.10.2022 22:10:18] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: No selling ... confiscating.

[19.10.2022 22:10:25] [R]-Flaw: Way too expensive of artif- I mean furniture.

[19.10.2022 22:10:32] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: By force if need be. Last chance, my creative friend.

[19.10.2022 22:10:47] [R]-Flaw: Confiswhat?

[19.10.2022 22:10:53] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Don't play dumb with me

[19.10.2022 22:11:13] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Law prohibits them. Stand down ... or face the consequence now.

[19.10.2022 22:11:26] [R]-Flaw: Close your eyes for... around two more systems.

[19.10.2022 22:11:28] [R]-Flaw: Make it three.

[19.10.2022 22:11:37] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Negative. Shame it has to come to this.

[19.10.2022 22:12:29] [R]-Flaw: Dodged!

[19.10.2022 22:12:32] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Good one...

With my proximity advantage ruined, all i could do from this point onwards was following to see where the rest of his route took him. Which was the Hudson system, yet another jump hole somewhere in the Sitka Field. Further than that i was not willing to go. In spirit of cooperation with the Bounty Hunter's Guild, i docked at Manitoba Station to inform them about the latest smuggling route of the Liberty Rogue i followed. Not a minute after i left the station, i ran into a Liberty Rogues gunboat. Their operation must be quite tight-knit. Without any support against it, i opted to leave the system and report my findings so far.

Code:
[19.10.2022 22:13:12] [R]-Flaw: Reputable merchant.

[19.10.2022 22:13:22] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Mhmhmh, ja. Certainly reputable.

[19.10.2022 22:14:04] [R]-Flaw: I've even spared the lanes!

[19.10.2022 22:14:15] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Still in breach of several laws.

[19.10.2022 22:14:24] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: A few less doesn't make it all that much better.

[19.10.2022 22:14:30] [R]-Flaw: Should have closed your eyes!

[19.10.2022 22:14:47] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: That does not make problems go away, no matter how much you wish it'd do so.

[19.10.2022 22:15:43] [R]-Flaw: See you next time!

[19.10.2022 22:15:52] [R]-Flaw: I'll get you a blindfold or something.

[19.10.2022 22:16:02] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Make it a velvet one, bet you can afford it.

[19.10.2022 22:16:40] [RM]RNC-Unsichtbar: Kommander: My appologies Herr Habermeyer position was perfect and requared immediate  actcion. Sector clear. 

[19.10.2022 22:16:41] [R]-Flaw: Shouldn't be a problem.

[19.10.2022 22:17:20] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Now if that compliance would only work in more regards than just the matter of a velvet blindfold...

[19.10.2022 22:17:26] [R]-Flaw: Bu-bye!

[19.10.2022 22:17:26] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: So much promising potential

[19.10.2022 22:17:29] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Hmf.

[19.10.2022 22:17:31] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Auf Wiedersehen...

Code:
[19.10.2022 22:19:17] 2022-10-19 22:19:20 SMT  Traffic control alert: [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer has requested to dock

[19.10.2022 22:23:25] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Oh m-... not that again!

[19.10.2022 22:23:33] Birdie: well well

[19.10.2022 22:23:39] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Here to protect your smuggling friend?

[19.10.2022 22:24:02] Birdie: leave the system or die

[19.10.2022 22:24:22] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Ja ja jaaa ... big words again, in the bigger vessel. Hmf, no point in dying over this.

[19.10.2022 22:24:38] Birdie: not good souns

[19.10.2022 22:24:48] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Then check your ears, criminal.

[19.10.2022 22:24:53] Birdie: better run

[19.10.2022 22:25:03] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Delight in this. It is a short victory.

[19.10.2022 22:28:31] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: It is alright. I noticed both Corsair vessels have been terminated - very good job, Kommandant! Habermeyer out.
