Guten Abend Officers,

on my routine patrol through the Ruhrfeld, in order to map and root out illegal transportation of goods, i spotted a known signature.

The Rogue smuggler MeisterZim, having been stopped by me only a couple of weeks ago (Rheinwehr Report #2565). I decided to fine him one last time, confiscate his wares and escort him out - the next encounter, should he deem it worthwhile to risk more than his wares, will inevitably lead to the vessels destruction without escort as law dictates.
He was carrying Blood Diamonds for a contact in Liberty space. Given a lack of a suitable transportation vessel at that time, i destroyed the majority of his cargo and took a sample for examination and the possibility of retracing their origin.

[10.12.2022 20:14:15] Cloaking device on
[10.12.2022 20:17:24] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: A familiar signature...
[10.12.2022 20:17:36] MeisterZim: what the hell
[10.12.2022 20:17:42] MeisterZim: *slaps com*
[10.12.2022 20:17:45] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: It has been a while...
[10.12.2022 20:17:59] MeisterZim: Not you again
[10.12.2022 20:18:06] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Oh but i am afraid it is.
[10.12.2022 20:18:15] MeisterZim: I am literally at the jump hole
[10.12.2022 20:18:26] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Ja, to Hamburg. Still within Rheinland...
[10.12.2022 20:18:41] MeisterZim: ok true
[10.12.2022 20:18:49] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: I've been most kind last time.
[10.12.2022 20:19:00] MeisterZim: yes i know
[10.12.2022 20:19:11] MeisterZim: Money is tight this week
[10.12.2022 20:19:16] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Then what do we do know? Is there... anything you'd like to tell me?
[10.12.2022 20:19:37] MeisterZim: what you want to know?
[10.12.2022 20:19:57] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: This is a matter whether or not there is something you wish to tell me before i proceed.
[10.12.2022 20:20:06] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: It may affect how this all goes down.
[10.12.2022 20:20:24] MeisterZim: I would take my chances
[10.12.2022 20:20:31] MeisterZim: If we would be in hamburg
[10.12.2022 20:20:42] MeisterZim: But im sure you already called for backup
[10.12.2022 20:20:52] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: I might have done so.
[10.12.2022 20:21:02] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: A shame that money is tight.
[10.12.2022 20:21:14] MeisterZim: yes it is
[10.12.2022 20:21:24] MeisterZim: Do what you have to do
[10.12.2022 20:21:27] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: As for what i see... a fine is in order. And confiscated goods are to be handed over.
[10.12.2022 20:21:58] MeisterZim: Better then to end in Houston
[10.12.2022 20:22:09] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: I'd bring you out after this one last time. Everything beyond that will be... violence.
[10.12.2022 20:22:11] Cloaking device off
[10.12.2022 20:22:19] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: No choice of mine in that matter.
[10.12.2022 20:22:30] MeisterZim: I see
[10.12.2022 20:22:55] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Indeed - repeated offenders are to be ... engaged without escort out of Rheinland. Third time's the charm or how they say.
[10.12.2022 20:23:39] MeisterZim: Then I will be compelled to open fire next time
[10.12.2022 20:23:56] MeisterZim: I wouldnt go down without a fight
[10.12.2022 20:24:02] MeisterZim: I am sure you understand
[10.12.2022 20:24:28] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: We all do what we have to, don't we? For now... i'll have to insist on your current cargo. And a fine of 4.300.000 SC.
[10.12.2022 20:24:32] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: As today is not that day. Yet.
[10.12.2022 20:24:50] MeisterZim: dropping cargo
[10.12.2022 20:25:01] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Wonderful....
[10.12.2022 20:25:10] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Would you mind sharing where you got those from?
[10.12.2022 20:25:15] MeisterZim: gct 4300000
[10.12.2022 20:25:23] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: I'll be taking a sample for investigation...
[10.12.2022 20:25:28] MeisterZim: sorry my mics acting up
[10.12.2022 20:25:32] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: No worries there.
[10.12.2022 20:25:38] [2022-12-10] 20:25:39 You have received 4.300.000 credits from MeisterZim
[10.12.2022 20:25:44] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Fine paid - excellent.
[10.12.2022 20:25:48] MeisterZim: Id rather not
[10.12.2022 20:26:24] MeisterZim: I protect my soures
[10.12.2022 20:26:36] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Ahhhh. *Chuckles* As expected... no matter, they'll be thoroughly analyzed.
[10.12.2022 20:27:18] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: A shame really... anyway, we have a route to take once more. As before - Hudson or Bering, up to you.
[10.12.2022 20:27:42] MeisterZim: Then Hudson this time
[10.12.2022 20:27:55] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Mhm, change of pace. I like it. Proceed.
[10.12.2022 20:29:47] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: So - do i get a story for the current cargo as well? I doubt this is for ... what was it last time? Family gatherings?
[10.12.2022 20:30:02] MeisterZim: No this time i guess
[10.12.2022 20:30:15] MeisterZim: The diamonds pay for a lot in liberty
[10.12.2022 20:30:24] MeisterZim: Must be because they are forbidden
[10.12.2022 20:30:49] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Mhhhh... my presence must sting then. Understandably so, the forbidden fruit tends to taste best.
[10.12.2022 20:31:11] MeisterZim: I was nearly there....
[10.12.2022 20:31:24] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Well at least in Hamburg.
[10.12.2022 20:32:20] MeisterZim: If I had reached vierlande it would be just a cakewalk
[10.12.2022 20:32:34] MeisterZim: well no matter
[10.12.2022 20:32:46] MeisterZim: I will pick up other goods
[10.12.2022 20:33:01] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Maybe. We have eyes on this system as well. Indeed, it was not successful. Right, right. More legal goods was my suggestion
[10.12.2022 20:33:03] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: last time.
[10.12.2022 20:33:26] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Didn't appear profitable enough i reckon...?
[10.12.2022 20:34:06] MeisterZim: I am banned to get a legal license in liberty and carrying food between base wont pay the bills
[10.12.2022 20:34:44] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Mhhhm. You got a ship to haul goods... no one out there to grant you a chance outside Liberty?
[10.12.2022 20:35:28] MeisterZim: Some did. The owners of the cargo you took were one of my clients
[10.12.2022 20:36:10] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Ah well, their choice of cargo is not the best for the route they let you take with it. Blood Diamonds and Rheinland ...
[10.12.2022 20:36:17] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: ... doesn't go that well together.
[10.12.2022 20:36:30] MeisterZim: Yes a bad combination i guess
[10.12.2022 20:36:36] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Extremely
[10.12.2022 20:36:52] MeisterZim: Should have taken H-Fuel from Frankfurt back to Texas.....
[10.12.2022 20:37:04] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: That would've made so much a lot easier.
[10.12.2022 20:37:05] MeisterZim: But the offer I got was too good
[10.12.2022 20:37:14] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: High risk high reward...
[10.12.2022 20:37:19] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Sadly now no reward.
[10.12.2022 20:37:28] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Unless you count your life and ship, that is.
[10.12.2022 20:37:45] MeisterZim: Id call that win
[10.12.2022 20:37:58] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Good thing we still agree on that.
[10.12.2022 20:38:13] MeisterZim: If i was caught in liberty i would end in Sugarland
[10.12.2022 20:38:15] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Credits can be earned again, a ... life. Well, it cannot.
[10.12.2022 20:38:35] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Mhhh, one of their prisons, ja?
[10.12.2022 20:38:56] MeisterZim: They throw you in there for a parking violation...
[10.12.2022 20:39:08] MeisterZim: just to meet their damm weekly quota
[10.12.2022 20:39:53] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Mhm, well. They do what they are told to do. That can be viewed ... a couple of ways.
[10.12.2022 20:41:32] MeisterZim: true which is why the libery police does not get mercy from us Rogues
[10.12.2022 20:41:55] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth
[10.12.2022 20:42:27] MeisterZim: No grudges to be held
[10.12.2022 20:42:34] MeisterZim: Thats just the way it is
[10.12.2022 20:42:36] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: If you weren't a Rogue but ... let's say a Hessian this would've gone differently.
[10.12.2022 20:42:41] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Oh ja, that is just the way how things are.

Für den Kaiser! Für das Volk! Für Rheinland!

Hochachtungsvoll,
Traudel Habermeyer
Oberleutnant der Kaiserlichen Rheinwehr
