Guten Abend Officers,

a Freelancer relayed troubling findings of his to me.

A certain Lars D. Ross spotted a Crayter vessel carrying artifacts in Frankfurt, near the Konstanz Wreck. He called me rather shortly after having found the smuggler, but no contact was maintained afterwards. Thus, i departed for Frankfurt myself and investigated. System itself was clear, no signs of the Crayter ship near Konstanz, major trade lane routes or some of the previously found jump holes. Taking a gamble, i took it upon myself to follow the route the last smuggler, a Liberty Rogue, took. From Frankfurt over New Berlin to Hamburg and then Hudson. Lo and behold i found what i was looking for, Crayter ship with the callsign Johan.Freland mid jump to Hudson. I followed and managed to conduct a proper scan, before he took the lane and vanished around Manitoba Station.





Of note might be the fact yet another Liberty Rogues gunboat showed up only moments after i startled this smuggler. It landed a few shots and stripped me of my shields, but except that no further damage was suffered. Back in Hamburg i warned another Freelancer of the situation in Hudson, prompting him to take the route through Bering instead.

[04.11.2022 22:59:25] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Were you able to find out what type of vessel this person piloted by any chance?
[04.11.2022 23:00:50] Rusty-Bucket: Definatly Atlas Class, Frau Oberleutnant. But I only got the Radar Tag, sadly no specific Identification.
[04.11.2022 23:01:53] Rusty-Bucket: I hope my informations can be of any Help if needed I could provide the data of my fly by scan. Its an old habbit...
[04.11.2022 23:02:19] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: That is already very helpful information to begin with, i have to thank you for your efforts, Herr Ross. That data would be

[04.11.2022 23:43:54] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Guten Tag, Freelancer. On the way to Hudson, by any chance?
[04.11.2022 23:45:08] Richards.-[Fae: I was about to be. Is there any danger?
[04.11.2022 23:45:46] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Not sure if there still is, but i just returned with a Liberty Rogues gunboat hot on my tail from Hudson. Smuggler managed to escape me
[04.11.2022 23:45:48] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: by an inch...
[04.11.2022 23:46:08] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: And i suspect the Rogues have some sort of cover or protection ops running. Each time a gunboat turns up.
[04.11.2022 23:46:53] Richards.-[Fae: Oh my. That sounds troubling. Thank you for letting me know, ma'am. I will take Bering instead.
[04.11.2022 23:47:48] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: No reason not to, Freelancer. Rheinland's jurisdiction may end over there... doesn't mean i don't at least warn.
[04.11.2022 23:48:05] Richards.-[Fae: Well, I do appreciate it, officer.
[04.11.2022 23:48:11] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Certainly - safe travels.
[04.11.2022 23:48:19] Richards.-[Fae: Thanks, to you as well.
[04.11.2022 23:48:25] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Appreciated. Auf Wiedersehen.

Für den Kaiser! Für das Volk! Für Rheinland!

Hochachtungsvoll,
