Salutations esmteemed Admiral,

As ordered by high command, today I was stationed in the California system to patrol the area. Lanes were clear and there was no sign of enemy activity in the area as it was expected to be, however, something else caught my eye today, a single Cryer transport leaving Liberty space. I felt there was something suspicious about it and I decided to check out. Indeed I wasn't wrong at all, Captain of Cryer transport designated RON.BOYD, was caught transporting something we were not supposed to, we are talking about Black Market Pharmaceuticals. Transport was stopped and my investigation has begun. He had pretty solid and logical arguments about it however he had nothing that was backing up his claim, still I couldn't just let him pass like it was nothing. Still being a Cadet on my first day I could not risk doing things I might not be supposed to do. So I contacted Lieutenant Knight Black to assist me with this investigation. In the end, Cryer Captain was fined according to Liberty laws for possession of restricted cargo without proper paperwork. However I'm kindly asking you to flag this captain in our databases in case he tries it again, Im not certain he is just recovering those goods to be reprocessed.
Attached are the black box record cargo manifest and the identity of this Captain.

[01.12.2023 10:54:29] 1st|John.Jink: Unfortunatly captain today for you isnt a good day... Your cargo does not check, I would ask you kindly to drop it
[01.12.2023 10:55:14] 1st|John.Jink: Im asking you kindly to comply, drop that cargo
[01.12.2023 10:55:32] Ron.Boyd: You mean to tell me that recovered stolen goods, in the hands of its rightful producers, on its way...

[01.12.2023 10:56:02] Ron.Boyd: They are black market because they are stolen and bootlegged from Cryer.
[01.12.2023 10:56:16] 1st|John.Jink: We will take care of that
[01.12.2023 10:56:22] Ron.Boyd: I work for Cryer, these have to be safely handled by...
[01.12.2023 10:57:22] 1st|John.Jink: Captain, dont make this hard for me, please comply with orders given, otherwise you are forcing my hand
[01.12.2023 10:57:59] Aliado's crew met their end thanks to =NWI=CPW-C11-ZhongWei (79%)
[01.12.2023 10:58:11] Ron.Boyd: Forcing your hand? This needs to be taken to Atka for a detailed analysis. Syracuse can't admit this even exists.
[01.12.2023 10:58:19] Ron.Boyd: Or I wouldn't even be here.
[01.12.2023 10:58:29] 1st|John.Jink: That goods needs to be destroyed.
[01.12.2023 10:59:09] Ron.Boyd: They need to be taken to Atka to be reconstructed.
[01.12.2023 10:59:27] 1st|John.Jink: Im sure they do, but I got my orders
[01.12.2023 10:59:53] 1st|John.Jink: You can always file a complain with gouverment
[01.12.2023 11:00:02] Ron.Boyd: Please no, not paperwork.
[01.12.2023 11:00:36] 1st|John.Jink: Those are the chooses, comply or this time I will use the lethal force!
[01.12.2023 11:00:50] 1st|John.Jink: Your call Captain
[01.12.2023 11:00:56] Ron.Boyd: Hold up. Stop and think for about ten seconds.
[01.12.2023 11:01:12] Ron.Boyd: These are tagged as black market because some criminals stole them and filed the serial numbers off.
[01.12.2023 11:01:30] 1st|John.Jink: Major reason to be disposed properly off
[01.12.2023 11:01:36] Ron.Boyd: Yet they are returned safely to their manufacturer, who is taking them home to be processed.
[01.12.2023 11:01:51] 1st|John.Jink: Still serial number will be missing\
[01.12.2023 11:02:03] Ron.Boyd: They get re-processed and new serial numbers applied.
[01.12.2023 11:02:18] Tip: Many commands have an alternate short form for ease of use, e.g. /gc can be used instead of /givecash. Check /help for the complete list.
[01.12.2023 11:02:31] Ron.Boyd: The chemists have to know what's salvageable.
[01.12.2023 11:02:38] 1st|John.Jink: I understand your point of view, please understand mine
[01.12.2023 11:02:39] Ron.Boyd: Blowing it all up is a waste.
[01.12.2023 11:03:09] Ron.Boyd: Look, were I a Junker, or a freelancer, or even a Zoner, sure, the ship got them nefariously.
[01.12.2023 11:03:21] Ron.Boyd: But this is legitimate asset recovery.
[01.12.2023 11:04:00] 1st|John.Jink: Orders still stand! By laws of Liberty goverment it is considered illegal and destruction is a way to deal with it
[01.12.2023 11:05:18] 1st|John.Jink: Well, you leave me no other chose unfortunately Captain.
[01.12.2023 11:05:24] Ron.Boyd: I'd be careful of...
[01.12.2023 11:05:47] 1st|John.Jink: Well lets do it like this, before doing anything Ill call my supervisor
[01.12.2023 11:06:10] Ron.Boyd: Why don't we turn around, head back to Los Angeles, and let our bosses talk to each other?
[01.12.2023 11:06:38] 1st|John.Jink: Tell your boss to come here, my supervisor is on route
[01.12.2023 11:07:09] Ron.Boyd: My boss sits in an office, the company won't cover travel.
[01.12.2023 11:07:22] 1st|Knight.Black: greetings office

[01.12.2023 11:08:06] 1st|John.Jink: Unfortunately Captain here does not understand laws
[01.12.2023 11:08:13] Ron.Boyd: Yes, a minor technicality.
[01.12.2023 11:08:38] 1st|Knight.Black: drop the cargo immediately these cargo are straight violation to liberty code of laws
[01.12.2023 11:08:43] Ron.Boyd: This vessel is engaged in asset recovery, we...
[01.12.2023 11:08:53] 1st|John.Jink: As I explained to him carring Black Market stuff is in clear violation of Liberty laws
[01.12.2023 11:08:55] Ron.Boyd: It is illegal because it's stolen goods.
[01.12.2023 11:09:02] CONSOLE: Possible cheating detected: |>R<|T-Vulcan
[01.12.2023 11:09:04] Ron.Boyd: But they are back in the hands of their manufacturer.
[01.12.2023 11:09:29] Ron.Boyd: We are attempting to move them to a facility to have them restored to legitimate pharma.
[01.12.2023 11:09:33] 1st|Knight.Black: do you have papers for the same
[01.12.2023 11:09:46] Ron.Boyd: Do you want me to push my work orders against my window?
[01.12.2023 11:09:57] 1st|Knight.Black: we still need to see the papers if what you claim is true
[01.12.2023 11:10:13] 1st|Knight.Black: what is your heading
[01.12.2023 11:10:26] Ron.Boyd: Either Atka or Cambridge Research Station.
[01.12.2023 11:10:46] Ron.Boyd: You're not likely to have heard of Atka, it's on the other end of Sirius.
[01.12.2023 11:11:19] 1st|John.Jink: Even if he was for some reason, I got no paperwork to legitimise that
[01.12.2023 11:11:21] 1st|Knight.Black: you still need to pay the fine for the same and your cargo and you will be escorted out liberty space
[01.12.2023 11:11:43] Ron.Boyd: You mean I just go through the Gate.
[01.12.2023 11:11:48] Ron.Boyd: Not much of an escorting out.
[01.12.2023 11:11:55] 1st|Knight.Black: you pay the mine first
[01.12.2023 11:12:20] 1st|Knight.Black: 300000 credits for moving of illegal goods in liberty space
[01.12.2023 11:12:33] Ron.Boyd: A Cryer captain is being fined for the possession of stolen Cryer goods.
[01.12.2023 11:12:40] Ron.Boyd: *the sound of a drink being spat out*
[01.12.2023 11:12:42] 1st|Knight.Black: show us the papers then
[01.12.2023 11:12:56] Ron.Boyd: Sure, I'm pressing them against my window right now.
