Command,

During my patrol, I came across three criminals.

The first one, callsign 'Ron.Boyd', was holding Kidnapped VIPs in its cargohold. He was getting assisted by some freelancer, callsign 'Honeymooner', who fired shots at my ship while I was disabling the smuggler's transport. The escort flew away, and the smuggler was escorted to Fort Bush to pay a fine and deposit the Kidnapped VIPs.

The second one, callsign 'Shwartz.Dawn', is a bit more problematic. It was a Daumann train, carrying a load of Xeno Relics. While it seemed to be compliant at first, it turned out trying to buy its way out, offering a large amount of credits. I refused and engaged the smuggler. It escaped and docked on Planet Houston, where the land authorities could not find a trace of it, unfortunately. He mentioned other transports carrying illegal goods, which is quite concerning.

As for the last one, it was the infamous Rogue Gunboat-class vessel 'Birdie', which engaged me in Texas system, and with the help of Commander Victoria Blake, and an LSF Operative, Karl Gallow, was disabled.

That is all.

Antoine Duhamel, LT. CDR.

[12.02.2023 11:16:50] Honeymooner: Step away from the idiot.
[12.02.2023 11:17:23] Ron.Boyd: He's delaying.
[12.02.2023 11:17:26] Honeymooner: Figures.
[12.02.2023 11:17:35] 5th|Antoine:Duhamel: You will have to pay a 2-million credits fine, and drop these VIPs and Fort Bush at once.
[12.02.2023 11:17:36] Honeymooner: One more disruptor to him and you're toast.
[12.02.2023 11:17:45] 5th|Antoine:Duhamel: Stay away from that Freelancer.

[12.02.2023 11:18:14] Ron.Boyd: Not my mess!
[12.02.2023 11:18:53] Honeymooner: Yeah you should pay him.
[12.02.2023 11:18:58] Ron.Boyd: Hey!
[12.02.2023 11:19:03] Ron.Boyd: Whose side are you on?
[12.02.2023 11:19:27] Ron.Boyd: This is ridiculous.
[12.02.2023 11:19:28] James.Dellas: Greetings !
[12.02.2023 11:20:14] Ron.Boyd: You can hear the angry grumbling.
[12.02.2023 11:20:30] 5th|Antoine:Duhamel: This fine has been up to 10 million for running away from an officer, carrying Kidnapped VIPs, and being assisted by a terroris
[12.02.2023 11:20:35] 5th|Antoine:Duhamel: terrorist.*
[12.02.2023 11:20:56] Ron.Boyd: Assisted?
[12.02.2023 11:21:04] Ron.Boyd: He shot at you a bit then ran off.
[12.02.2023 11:21:05] 5th|Antoine:Duhamel: Failure to comply will result in the immediate destruction of your ship.
[12.02.2023 11:21:22] 5th|Antoine:Duhamel: Indeed. That is still assistance from a terrorist.
[12.02.2023 11:21:24] Ron.Boyd: Hang on, let me threaten you with a lawyer first.
[12.02.2023 11:21:29] 5th|Antoine:Duhamel: You have ten senconds.
[12.02.2023 11:21:30] Ron.Boyd: *he clears his throat*
[12.02.2023 11:21:36] 5th|Antoine:Duhamel: 10.
[12.02.2023 11:21:41] Ron.Boyd: You're hearing from my laaawyer!
[12.02.2023 11:21:45] 5th|Antoine:Duhamel: 9.
[12.02.2023 11:21:51] 5th|Antoine:Duhamel: 8.
[12.02.2023 11:21:56] 5th|Antoine:Duhamel: 7.
[12.02.2023 11:22:02] 5th|Antoine:Duhamel: 6.
[12.02.2023 11:22:05] [2023-02-12] 11:22:05 You have received 10.000.000 credits from Ron.Boyd
[12.02.2023 11:22:17] Ron.Boyd: This is going to be a fun claim to submit to Interspace.
[12.02.2023 11:22:40] 5th|Antoine:Duhamel: Now, drop these VIPs on Fort Bush, please.
[12.02.2023 11:22:46] Ron.Boyd: Sure.
[12.02.2023 11:22:57] Ron.Boyd: But we're going to be stuck there for repairs.
[12.02.2023 11:23:00] 5th|Antoine:Duhamel: Such vessel is not suited for transporting citizens.
[12.02.2023 11:23:52] 5th|Antoine:Duhamel: The time you will spend there does not matter. All that matters is that these VIPs are safe and sound.
[12.02.2023 11:24:15] Ron.Boyd: I'm being told that this is just their baggage.
[12.02.2023 11:24:24] Ron.Boyd: And apparently a few pets.
[12.02.2023 11:24:26] 5th|Antoine:Duhamel: My scanner says otherwise.
[12.02.2023 11:25:16] Ron.Boyd: Also, I didn't see anyone over there, it was just me.
[12.02.2023 11:25:44] 5th|Antoine:Duhamel: Yeah, right. You do know that our ships are equipped with black boxes?
[12.02.2023 11:25:53] 5th|Antoine:Duhamel: And that our conversations are recorded?
[12.02.2023 11:26:00] Ron.Boyd: You saw an idiot fail to do his job.
[12.02.2023 11:26:10] Ron.Boyd: And me.
[12.02.2023 11:26:33] 5th|Antoine:Duhamel: So your little play on 'I was alone', I don't buy it, and neither will the Admiralty once I give them my report.
[12.02.2023 11:26:52] Ron.Boyd: As long as this doesn't end in a court summons.
[12.02.2023 11:27:10] Ron.Boyd: I really don't want to get sent to an LPI judge and given a ticket to Huntsville.
[12.02.2023 11:27:14] 5th|Antoine:Duhamel: I am not taking such decisions. If the House decides to prosecute, then so be it.
[12.02.2023 11:28:50] Ron.Boyd: My lawyer just told me to tell you that nothing I say represents Cryer Pharmaceuticals, among other things.
[12.02.2023 11:29:32] 5th|Antoine:Duhamel: Again, not my business. I apply the law, and leave the prosecution to the buereaucrats.
[12.02.2023 11:29:42] 5th|Antoine:Duhamel: Now, drop these VIPs on Fort Bush. Now.
[12.02.2023 11:29:45] Ron.Boyd: That was just for the blackbox records.
[12.02.2023 11:30:19] Ron.Boyd: At least I didn't pay that guy.

Shwartz Dawn

[11.02.2023 22:25:12] Shwartz.Dawn: Ahoy
[11.02.2023 22:25:18] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: Daumann vessel, stop right there.
[11.02.2023 22:25:27] Shwartz.Dawn: Yes-yes I am holding
[11.02.2023 22:25:52] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: My cargo scan reveals that you are currently hauling Xeno Relics.
[11.02.2023 22:26:05] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: You do know these are illegal, right?
[11.02.2023 22:26:11] Shwartz.Dawn: Just some funky trinkets, they are inactive
[11.02.2023 22:26:31] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: It doesn't matter. They are listed as contraband, as per Libertarian Laws.
[11.02.2023 22:26:56] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: You are to pay a 5-million credits fine at once, and drop the cargo you are holding for destruction.
[11.02.2023 22:27:07] Shwartz.Dawn: Well, you seem to know your laws well. Maybe, you deserve a little payment raise for that? I'd certainly say so.
[11.02.2023 22:27:26] Shwartz.Dawn: My superiors tell that nice 20 million credits can soften your day a bit'
[11.02.2023 22:27:33] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: Mind you, pilot. I am not from the LPI. I am from the Liberty Navy.
[11.02.2023 22:27:43] Shwartz.Dawn: Yes, and I see no other pilots around
[11.02.2023 22:27:50] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: Trying to buy me will only rise the fine.
[11.02.2023 22:27:57] Shwartz.Dawn: Nothing can happen here, and nothing recorded.
[11.02.2023 22:27:59] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: Right, we went from 5 to 7 million.
[11.02.2023 22:28:31] Shwartz.Dawn: You must also note that these funds also going to hurt outcasts, and cardamine is far worse than some trinkets.
[11.02.2023 22:28:49] Shwartz.Dawn: I am offering you 30 millions, but further raise will make this to negative.
[11.02.2023 22:29:02] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: Although your arguments regarding outcasts -could- be valid, it doesn't change anything.
[11.02.2023 22:29:26] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: Right, another 3 million added. We are at a 10-million credits fine.
[11.02.2023 22:29:40] Shwartz.Dawn: 30 millions is more than they usually pirating from a barge. You better reconsider.
[11.02.2023 22:29:41] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: And you will, of course, jettison your cargo.
[11.02.2023 22:30:02] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: I won't reconsider. Jettison your cargo and pay the 10-million fine.
[11.02.2023 22:30:13] Shwartz.Dawn: Very well, you can't cure stupid.
[11.02.2023 22:30:26] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: Stop right there.
[11.02.2023 22:30:35] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: I won't repeat myself.
[11.02.2023 22:30:47] Shwartz.Dawn: You are not driven by patriotism, you are driven by bloodlust, I can already see it.
[11.02.2023 22:30:51] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: Pay the fine and drop the relics. Right. Now.
[11.02.2023 22:30:55] Shwartz.Dawn: I'd agree with you if I'd carry cardamine.
[11.02.2023 22:31:08] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: Once you will have done that, you will be free to go on your way, pilot.
[11.02.2023 22:31:16] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: I don't want to take someone's life today.
[11.02.2023 22:31:33] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: You have 10 seconds.
[11.02.2023 22:31:35] Shwartz.Dawn: Then think about money.
[11.02.2023 22:31:37] Shwartz.Dawn: It really helps.
[11.02.2023 22:31:40] 5th|Antoine.Duhamel: 9.
