Field Report No. 3 - 4/22/830 AS

Agent 'Blue' on standard patrol duty aboard Fort Custer. Near the Colorado jumpgate, a Golden Chrysanthemum transport, callsign GC-Amaririsu appeared and was found to contain 1,250 units of Shigeakiki, which is banned in Liberty.

When confronted, subject insisted on being a peaceful trader and that Shigeakiki has nothing to do with Cardamine, when in fact the Kusari-made drug contains a substantial amount of them. Agent Blue then proceeded to engage the smuggler, and contrary to Eri's statements about being peaceful, she engaged in response, but was no match for the gunboat's firepower and her ship was soon impounded and the contraband destroyed.

[22.04.2023 20:41:37] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: Hostile contact on scanners.
[22.04.2023 20:41:49] GC-Amaririsu: Eri: Hostile? Me?
[22.04.2023 20:42:06] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: It also appears you have a shipment of illegal Shigeakiki in your hold.
[22.04.2023 20:42:18] GC-Amaririsu: Eri: I am just a Trader on my way trough.
[22.04.2023 20:42:55] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: I don't think you are doing good for Liberty. You're just peddling the stuff extracted from the Outcasts.
[22.04.2023 20:43:35] GC-Amaririsu: Eri: ahm we manfuacture the Shige ourselfs. The Maltese have nothing to do with this.
[22.04.2023 20:44:02] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: You would be wrong. Shigeakiki contains a substantial amount of Cardamine.
[22.04.2023 20:44:18] GC-Amaririsu: Eri: yes and Coca Cola contains Cocaine.
[22.04.2023 20:44:18] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: For this reason, the Golden Chrysanthemums are listed as hostile organziations within Liberty.
[22.04.2023 20:44:53] GC-Amaririsu: Eri: i am a Peacefull Trader that simply brings her Products to the pepole.
[22.04.2023 20:44:58] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: Therefore, I have the right to impound your ship and you will be taken into custody.
[22.04.2023 20:45:08] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: Weapons free. Target the hostile smuggler.
[22.04.2023 20:45:19] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: Ensure that the plague doesn't spread.
[22.04.2023 20:45:19] GC-Amaririsu: Eri: oh realy? i am not hostile.
[22.04.2023 20:47:11] Death: GC-Amaririsu was put out of action by =LSF=Fort.Custer (Gun).
[22.04.2023 20:47:34] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: Hostile contact down. Area green.

Agent Blue then went to the trade lane connecting Norfolk Shipyard and Texas Jump Gate. A Rogue cruiser of apparently Rheinlandic design, callsign Birdie., was intercepted near the jump hole leading to the Badlands. Subject promptly engaged the Fort Custer, but backed off towards the jump hole. Agent followed in pursuit deep into the Badlands, with Agent Raven later appearing in aboard the Langley, after which the Rogue cruiser prompty docked at Buffalo Base. Both agents made it out of the Badlands without further incident.

[22.04.2023 20:52:04] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: Hostile contact on scanners.
[22.04.2023 20:52:25] =LSF=Fort.Custer: heading to NY hole
[22.04.2023 20:52:37] Birdie.: return fire
[22.04.2023 20:52:56] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: Fort Custer moving in to engage.
[22.04.2023 20:53:20] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: Target the Rogue ship.
[22.04.2023 21:00:05] 2023-04-22 21:00:06 SMT Traffic control alert: Birdie. has requested to dock
[22.04.2023 21:00:30] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: Let's get out of the Badlands.
[22.04.2023 21:00:37] =LSF=Langley: R: I didn't even get to say a word.
[22.04.2023 21:00:42] =LSF=Langley: R: I wholeheartedly agree, though.
[22.04.2023 21:01:06] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: There was this Rogue cruiser found near the tradelanes to Texas, though it had managed to take the nearby jumphole.
[22.04.2023 21:01:17] =LSF=Langley: R: Another one?
[22.04.2023 21:01:49] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: The one that went to Buffalo. Seems to be of Rheinlandic origin, though.
[22.04.2023 21:02:10] =LSF=Langley: R: Hmph. We've skirmished with it before on several occasions.
[22.04.2023 21:02:19] =LSF=Langley: R: Seems to have gotten more skittish over time.
[22.04.2023 21:02:27] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: Its callsign apparently went by Birdie.
[22.04.2023 21:02:49] =LSF=Langley: R: Wouldn't ever count on the Rogues to come up with a sensical name for a warship.
[22.04.2023 21:02:57] =LSF=Langley: R: Whatever floats their boat, though.
[22.04.2023 21:03:33] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: Weird, but explainable, indeed.
[22.04.2023 21:03:42] =LSF=Langley: R: I wouldn't lose any sleep over it, personally.

While laning to West Point, agents encountered another Rogue bomber, Piratebomber03. Fortunately, subject did not attempt to pirate the transport, Frozen.Dream.Trader. Agent 'Blue' engaged subject, known for its proficiency in dual nova slinging. Despite the threat, Fort Custer managed to eliminate the bomber, only sustaining minor damage to its hull.

[22.04.2023 21:05:11] =LSF=Langley: R: *sigh* where's the fighter escort when you need it
[22.04.2023 21:05:22] =LSF=Langley: R: Custer, in lieu of no snubcraft, do you mind?
[22.04.2023 21:05:27] Piratebomber03: Engaging the enemy!
[22.04.2023 21:05:30] Piratebomber03: Die Navy!
[22.04.2023 21:05:36] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: Right. Let's get into it. Weapons are primed.
[22.04.2023 21:05:44] =LSF=Fort.Custer: B: Opening fire at will.
[22.04.2023 21:05:55] =LSF=Langley: R: Watch and learn, First Armada.
